Mozambique's former finance minister Manuel Chang will be extradited to his home country where he is wanted on charges related to a $2bn debt scandal, justice minister Michael Masutha said on Tuesday.
Chang has been in custody in SA since December, when he was arrested at the request of the US for his alleged involvement in $2bn of borrowing that US authorities say was fraudulent.
During his time as finance minister, Chang signed off on the loans, which were guaranteed by the government though some of them were not disclosed. Mozambique's subsequent acknowledgement of the undisclosed borrowing prompted donors to cut off support and triggered a currency collapse.
Masutha had to decide whether to have Chang extradited to Mozambique or the US following requests from both countries.
"I am satisfied that the interest of justice will be best served by acceding to the request by the Republic of Mozambique," Masutha said in a statement.
"I have decided that the accused, Mr Manuel Chang, will be extradited to stand trial for his alleged offences in Mozambique."
Masutha said he considered in his decision that Chang was a citizen of Mozambique and he had requested to be extradited to his home country, among other things.
The US embassy in Pretoria expressed Washington's "great disappointment" at the decision.
In the US, Chang faces charges of conspiracy to commit electronic fraud, financial security violations and money laundering.
However, Mozambique welcomed the move. "This is a free and sovereign decision," Mozambique foreign minister Jose Pacheco said in an interview with the local daily O Pais.
Mozambique has arrested several other suspects linked to the scandal, including the son of former president Armando Guebuza, and senior intelligence officials.
In January, three former Credit Suisse workers were arrested and charged over the allegations.
On Monday Detelina Subeva, a former vice-president in the bank's global financing unit, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to launder funds.

Of course it was also Switzerland`s national day (we had pizza and dessert !) so there were Swiss flags hanging from every house, on every T-shirt and even the balloons and cakes was not uncrossed. The town put up quite a show and we were right in the middle of the action! The was a marching band and a truck with a spectacular flaming mechanism . We followed all the people up the hill and viewed some spectacular fireworks along with a bonfire and good music. The countryside atmosphere was magical! We decided to climb the hill to the church and end the night of with a breathtaking 360° view of lights, fires and a few late night fireworks.

My first Latin LPs from 1981-1984….5 of the best!
Filed Under: News, Talkin' All That Jazz, The Latin Lowdown, Vinyl Junkie
I have this new monthly vinyl Latin music night starting in Leeds (UK) in September 2014 and I've been digging out a few LPs to play for it and in the process, it brought back a lot of memories of my early Latin music vinyl buying and collecting days.
By 1981, as a 19 year old living in the north of England, I was a new and dedicated jazz man with a growing interest in other black music and world music genres : funk, soul, the new rap/electro sound (which became hiphop), reggae, African music and what would become one of my main musical loves in the next few years, Latin music.
I bought my first Latin records in 1981 but my memory is failing me after 33 years so I'm not sure which one came first but I know the 5-6 I accquired that year. In 1982, 1983 and 1984, I started digging in 2nd hand record shops, fleamarkets and car boot sales and also started to buy Latin music on trips abroad to Paris, Amsterdam and Barcelona. I have to say, I found some beauties in those first 3 years, expecially in the second hand record shops and fleamarkets up north. Original 1960s and 1970s pressings of Latin music on Riverside, Atlantic, Flying Dutchman, Sunset, Egrem, Skye etc. Also, I was buying contemporary releases on labels such as Concord Picante, American Clave, Tropical Budda, Timeless and CTI.
In 1982 I started playing records as a DJ in clubs, spinning a mix of jazz fusion, hard bop, bebop, Brazilian music and Afro-Cuban jazz/mambo for jazz dancers, first in my native Bradford and then over to Leeds. By 1984, maybe 70% of my sets were Latin inspired, a mix of Afro-Cuban jazz and Brazilian beats. I wasn't playing salsa until about 1985. This was hardcore Latin jazz for fast and furious jazz dancers.
As I pulled a few out, I thought I'd put a little chart together of some of my favourite jazzdance Latin LPs from that era. Here's 5 to start with, some of the first Latin LPs I ever bought.
1. "Latin Mann : Afro To Bossa To Blues" – Herbie Mann (CBS Records)
Amongst the first half dozen Latin LPs bought in 1981, this one came from a record stall in a Bradford fleamarket for about £3-£4! Flautist Herbie Mann with a full Latin soul jazz big band conducted by Oliver Nelson playing classics like "Manteca", "Watermelon Man", "Senor Blues", "The Jive Samba" and the big jazzdance killer "Jungle Fantasy", an update of Cuban flautist Esy Morales's 1952 hit. Charlie Palmieri's piano solo here still makes me tingle when I hear it today.
2. "Bongo Fever" – Jack Costanzo (Sunset/Liberty)
Picked up around 1982 or 1983 in Bradford at another fleamarket for less than £5, this Afro-Cuban jazz LP introduced me to "Mr Bongo" Jack Costanzo, the West Coast percussionist who had the fastest fingers and martillo beat of any bongo player in the 1950s! I think my orange sleeved album was a 1960s compilation of previous Costanzo hits done for the UK market but it had this jazzdance killer tune on it, "Taboo", proving short tracks can be sweet! Floorfiller everytime in 1982-84!
3. "Dock Of The Bay" – Mongo Santamaria (Harmony/Colombia)
This was my first Mongo Santamaria LP and another one from 1982 or 1983 again bought in my home city at a second had record shop for peanuts. This LP was a mix of Mongo's musical genres of the early-mid 1960s – a lot of Latin soul, a touch of bossa nova and one explosive Latin jazz jam called "Cuidado" which I hammered on the decks in those days. I liked it so much that in 1988 when I played bass in a Latin jazz band called Conjunto Fuego, we covered it and it became our anthem.
4. "Afro-Cuban Jazz" – Machito & Charlie Parker (Verve/Polydor)
I actually bought this for Charlie Parker first and Machito second. I was collecting Charlie Parker LPs in the early 1980s and this 1940s Verve LP was a Polydor re-issue in Woods Music & Record Shop in Bradford. I bought it, went home, stuck the needle on the record and the tracks were okay as I flicked through them. Then side 2, track 2, a musical bomb went off! "Mambo 1″….3.14 of pure Afro-Cuban jazz magic! The Machito Orchestra was on fire. Bird just about hung in there as musical director Mario Bauza and his men went into overdrive.
5. "Herman's Heat & Puente's Beat" Woody Herman & Tito Puente (World Record Club).
The swing king meets the mambo king! My first Tito Puente LP, bought 1982 or 1983 at the same Bradford fleamarket many of the above came from. Basically Woody Herman's big band joined by Tito Puente's rhythm section on half the tracks. The jazzdance killer was "Latin Flight" on side two. A big, brassy and percussive mambo jazz gem that guys like The Jazz Defektors loved to dance to. Smoking hot big band Latin music!
http://youtu.be/Qt0lhLWLlqc
So there you have it. A small selction of my first Latin music LPs bought from 1981 onwards. All these were second hand LPs (with the exception of the Machito album which was an old recording re-issued), but I was also buying contemporary records by current artists at this time. I'll maybe do a post about those another time. These first few LPs were the start of the musical journey of 33 years that would take me DJing across the UK in the late 1980s/early 1990s, then on to Europe and beyond in the noughties, and finally, a Latin music compiling career that included several titles for the legendary Fania Records of New York.
Not bad for a 2nd generation Serbian guy from the north of England 🙂

About a year and a half ago I moved out on my own and one of the number one things I knew I needed to buy was a vacuum. I didn't need one of those fancy ones that cost $500, just one that would work on both tile floor and also carpet. I ended up picking out the Dirt Devil Swivel Glide Vision Vacuum. This vacuum has suited my purposes perfectly. It has 5 different height settings, ranging from bare floor to extra ply carpet. I usually use the bare floor setting and then vacuum the carpet on the 3rd setting.
The Dirt Devil Swivel Glide picks up just about everything off of the floor with just one swipe; there is no need to double vacuum a location to pick up everything. It gets it on the first time just about every single time. The electrical cord is thirty feet so you can essentially vacuum one or two rooms without ever having to change electrical outlets.
The bag inside of the vacuum is very easy to change and lasts through quite a few vacuums. I think I have probably changed it maybe three times since I have gotten it. I would highly recommend the Dirt Devil Swivel Glide Vision Vacuum. It gets rid of all my messes, including stubborn pet hair in a breeze! If you are looking for a new vacuum to help you clean up your house or apartment, definitely check this one out!

The appeals court upheld a federal district judge's ruling that the discs Eric Lundgren made to restore Microsoft operating systems had a value of $25 apiece, even though the software they contained could be downloaded free and the discs could only be used on computers that already had a valid Microsoft license. The U.S. 11th Circuit Court of Appeals initially granted Lundgren an emergency stay of his prison sentence, shortly before he was to surrender, but then affirmed his original 15-month sentence and $50,000 fine without hearing oral argument in a ruling issued April 11.

Q: How bad it will be if using camelCasing instead of PascalCasing for method and member variable in C# We use Java for backend programming and C# for app programming.
We offen exchange information with the server using json serialization framework such as NewtonJson(C#) and Gson(Java)
In the Java world, the programme guide are using camelCasing in which case the name of user should be userName but according to the C# guide they use PascalCasing when it should be UserName in C#.
So when using json deserialization and serialization on the app side or the server side, it will mess up.
So we are considering to change the app sides program convention to camelCase.
Or is there anyway else to solve this problem? Or what your team treats this issue?

A: There are multiple options here:
"Aliasing"
Any decent framework should allow you to use annotations to use a different name within the JSON representation and the actual field names!
Using gson for example:
public class Example {
  @SerializedName("lisp-style-name")
  private String someField....

In other words: make sure that all JSON "field names" follow such a convention - then you are independent of the underlying programming language.
The big downside is of course that have to annotate each field - maybe even on both sides. On the other hand, the above is really explicit - you understand what is supposed to happen just by looking into your "data" class declaration.
Custom naming support
Both libraries, gson and NewtonJson support policies. So instead of doing the mapping manually, you can instruct the framework to transform field names.
See here for how to do that with gson; for C#, you got that duplicated question.

The election results are in and Democrats gained control of the House during the midterms. It will place a check and balance on President Trump's power and could tie up his agenda for the next couple of years. USA TODAY

WASHINGTON – While President Donald Trump publicly touted Republican midterm wins in the Senate, the White House began bracing Wednesday for a Democratic-controlled House that could tie up his agenda and unleash a series of investigationsinto his administration, decisions and personal finances.
Though Democrats did not catch the "blue wave" some predicted, the party picked up dozens of competitive House contests and claimed control of a chamber that will serve as a check on the president – while also giving him several high-profile adversaries to campaign against.
Trump, who remained mostly out of sight Tuesday after a whirlwind tour ahead of the election, was eager to focus on Republican successes in the Senate, where battleground wins in Indiana, Tennessee and Missouri appeared to validate the president's schedule of campaign rallies in those states.
"Tremendous success tonight," Trump posted on Twitter late Tuesday. "Thank you to all!"
But as Trump hunkered down to watch returns at the White House with family and friends, he saw Democrats pick up seat after seat in the House, many in swing suburban districts that will likely be crucial to his own reelection effort in 2020.
With each flipped seat, his plans to reduce taxes further and pursue stricter immigration controls faded.

"There will be gridlock," predicted Michael Caputo, a former Trump campaign aide. "There will be more than two dozen investigations conducted by at least four House committees."
Democratic control of the House also kept open the prospect of an impeachment, a move Democratic leaders have downplayed but that some on the left have declined to rule out. Many Republicans believe impeachment proceedings would represent an overreach and would help the GOP in 2020.
Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., who is expected to reclaim the speaker's gavel in the House, struck a bipartisan tone in remarks late Tuesday.
"Tomorrow will be a new day in America," Pelosi told supporters in Washington.
The White House said Trump called Pelosi along with other congressional leaders and candidates.

More: Republicans make history by keeping Senate while losing House
Although the White House has raised the idea of working with Democrats – particularly on infrastructure – Trump's legislative agenda will likely be mostly thwarted by the shift. Analysts said the partisan divisions that have plagued Washington will be difficult to overcome now.
During the campaign, Democratic leaders signaled they would investigate Trump's relationship with Russia during the 2016 election, subpoena the tax returns he has refused to disclose and probe any number of administration actions, from alleged conflicts of interest to claims of profiteering in office.
House Democrats would press for more information about the interactions between Trump's real estate empire and his decisions in office, including whether members of the president's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida are influencing executive decisions. They are also sure to seek additional documents related to Cabinet controversies, including the multiple probes of Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke.
There is pent-up desire among many Democratic lawmakers to confront Trump. Control of the House gives them new subpoena power, along with the ability to kill his legislative proposals.
"Gridlock and investigations," predicted Republican strategist Liz Mair.
Administration officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said they have been considering strategies to deal with a Democratic majority, including the possibility of pushing back hard on expected investigations by targeting lawmakers including Reps. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., and Adam Schiff, D-Calif., who are likely to be leading them.
Nadler and Schiff, vocal Trump critics, would be in line to chair the House Judiciary and Intelligence committees, respectively.
Aides say the White House is also considering other strategies.
Trump can leverage Republican control of the Senate to continue to remake the federal bench by assigning judges who are likely to win confirmation. Like President Barack Obama, Trump could also rely more heavily on the use of executive orders to pursue policies on immigration and other contentious issues.
"Will he try to make deals with Democrats on things like infrastructure or even immigration or guns, given that Trump's base might allow Trump to cut deals they wouldn't for any other GOP president?" asked Doug Heye, a longtime GOP consultant. "Or, do we see an ever-escalating rhetoric and political tactics that only drive the country further apart?"
Several Republicans said Trump could gain some political advantage from having a powerful adversary in Democratic House leaders.
"Presidents sure love running against Congress and being able to distance themselves from unpopular lawmakers," said Matt Schlapp, the chairman of the American Conservative Union. "The best guarantee for [Trump] getting re-elected is an impeachment effort in the House."
Bruce Haynes, a former Republican campaign strategist, said a Democratic majority would not paralyze Trump. After all, the president has already had to deal with a slim GOP majority in the Senate that made it difficult to reach the 60-vote threshold required for most controversial legislation.
"It means he has the one thing that gives him energy and power: An opponent," Haynes said.
White House press secretary Sarah Sanders predicted that "the president's agenda isn't going to change." Instead, she encouraged Democratic leaders towork with the White House on tax cuts, immigration, the opioid epidemic and infrastructure.
In the weeks leading up to the election, Trump returned to immigration as a major theme, using the caravan of thousands of Central Americans winding its way through Mexico to renew calls for a border wall. Democrats have widely rejected the wall, and have said Trump was using the caravan to drum up support from GOP voters.
If the president hopes to secure federal funding for the barrier, he will likely have to pursue it during the coming lame duck session of Congress, before Democrats take control of the House in January.
As he campaigned in recent weeks, Trump increasingly downplayed Republican chances of keeping control in the House. Much of his frenetic schedule focused not on the House but instead on vulnerable Democratic Senate incumbents in states the president carried in 2016.
White House adviser Kellyanne Conway said the administration will deal with House investigations as they come up. In the meantime, she said, Trump will seek to work with Congress on issues like immigration and infrastructure.
Voters don't want resistance or obstruction, she said.
Asked what would happen if, for example, the House Democrats sought Trump's tax returns, Conway said the administration would talk to its lawyers.
She then echoed a favorite line of the president's when the future isuncertain: "We'll see what happens."

I want to thank the JSF members and guests who took the time to give me their thoughts, comments and suggestions yesterday (see New forums to be added? Suggestions and feedback encouraged!).
It's interesting to note that if I'd asked for these suggestions 10 years ago, almost all of the comments would have been posted to a dedicated thread on the forum (like the thread I started yesterday). These days the way we move information around is much different than it was a decade ago, and the suggestions I asked for were provided in numerous different ways: comments were posted to the blog itself, on the forum in this thread, on Facebook, via email, by PM (both on the forums and on Facebook), by phone and by text message.
I think the diversity by which we communicate these days may be an important clue into why the classic forum structure seems to be falling by the wayside. Everything is very fragmented now. I'll be the first to admit that for many things services like Facebook are the "optimal" means of group communication, but I do feel that forums are superior to Facebook for many forms of online discussion. For example, good luck finding that discussion about fat loss that took place on Facebook 2 or 3 years ago. Sure, it can be done, but it's not as easy as doing a quick forum search, or pulling up a list of threads to which you've subscribed.
So, while I realize that the popularity of online forums has waned pretty much across the board, I do think they still have a place in the online world.

This is a composite image created to mimic what we saw during our evening adventure to the lighthouse minus the rain and fog.
"The St. Augustine Light Station is a private-aid to navigation and an active, working lighthouse in St. Augustine, Florida. The current lighthouse stands at the north end of Anastasia Island and was built between 1871 and 1874. The tower is the second lighthouse tower in St. Augustine, the first being lit officially by the American territorial government in May 1824 as Florida's first lighthouse. However, both the Spanish and the British governments operated a major aid to navigation here including a series of wooden watchtowers and beacons dating from 1565.
The current lighthouse tower, original first-order Fresnel Lens and the Light Station grounds are owned by the St. Augustine Lighthouse & Maritime Museum, Inc., a not-for-profit maritime museum. The museum is open to the public 360 days a year. Admission fees support continued preservation of the lighthouse and five other historic structures. Admissions and museum memberships also fund programs in maritime archaeology, traditional wooden boatbuilding, and maritime education. The non profit mission is to "discover, preserve, present and keep alive the stories of the nation's oldest port as symbolized by our working St. Augustine Lighthouse." - Wikipedia

2014 Alumni Award for Distinguished Teaching Given to Trevon Logan
The Alumni Award for Distinguished Teaching honors faculty members for superior teaching. Recipients are nominated by present and former students and colleagues and are chosen by a committee of alumni, students, and faculty. They are inducted into the university's Academy of Teaching, which provides leadership for the improvement of teaching at Ohio State.
When Trevon Logan is not teaching economics to his undergraduate students, he serves as both the director of Undergraduate Studies and advisor to the Undergraduate Economics Society — a classic example of a professor devoted to students' best interests.
But more, students consistently say that he provides them with a top-notch education. "Trevon is much more than an effective teacher," one nominator wrote. "He has demonstrated a strong commitment to making the undergraduate experience for economics majors and other students as rewarding as possible."
One way Logan achieves this is in his teaching process. He uses a more discussion-oriented approach with his students, a strategy that isn't common in economics. The phrase "demanding and rewarding" and variations of that are common on student evaluation forms. "He expects a lot of his students, but rather than complain about the workload, students report that they enjoyed the challenge because he made the material so interesting," another nominator wrote.
Logan has taught seven economics lecture courses, participated in the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Scholars in Health Policy Program at the University of Michigan and served as an advisor and supervisor of several dissertations. He is the current president of the National Economic Association.
As for his contributions to Ohio State, Logan reinstituted and redesigned Economics 4553: Economics of Population, and designed a new course, Economics 5150: Economic Transitions in the 20th Century. Logan even features his own published research in every course he teaches.
Logan earned a PhD at the University of California at Berkeley.

THE COLLABORATORS FOR TRANSFORMING EDUCATION
The Collaborators is a Public Private Partnership between EdelGive, a consortium of donors and implementing organisations with the Department of School Education and Sports (DSES) started in 2016 to implement the Pragat Shaikshanik Maharashtra (PSM); a Government-prioritised movement for educational transformation in the State.

The intervention focuses on three specific objectives:
Enhancement in learning outcomes of children resulting in transformation of schools to Pragat School.

Here's an important question that comes up way less frequently than it should.
Answer: There is absolutely no difference between a good brand experience and a good customer experience. Period. Your customer experience is your brand experience.
Thinking that there is a difference has resulted in a serious problem — an internet of unusable and frustrating-to-the-customer websites.
If your brand's site isn't organized around your customers goals, the site is leaving multiple salaries worth of revenue on the table. If your primary concern as a brand manager is "telling the brand story", you're buying into the idea that your brand's website has a job other than supporting its customers online. That mindset only contributes to the problem.
You could be doing what you consider to be the best brand storytelling possible: flooding your brand site with the coolest graphics, social media feeds, and celebrity sponsors. But when your customers pull up to your brand site and can't get what they're looking for quickly, the cool graphics and LeBron endorsements are just a really fancy brick wall between bouncing and converting.
Rather than going to great lengths to create a brand experience, your main concern should be listening to the stories of the experiences your customers are actually having with your brand online.
Success online is not about effectively helping customers get the brand messages you want them to understand. It's about making sure you understand your customers enough to help them effectively get what they want from your brand.
If your brand's CEO asked, could you answer these questions?
What are the top 3 reasons customers visit our site?
What are our top 5 products by revenue?
What are our top 5 products by volume?
What are the top 5 customer searches on our site?
What is the first name of someone on our customer service team?
If you can't answer all of the above, right now, you're wasting money driving people to a site that doesn't convert anywhere near the level it could be converting.
There is no difference between creating a great customer experience and creating a great brand experience. If you give your customers anything other than a simple, usable, and helpful experience on your brand site, the only story you'll be telling is why you didn't hit your sales numbers.
Help your customers succeed, give them a site that works for them.

Thanadoulas guide people at the end of their lives. Light on an unknown profession.
"Birds hide to die"… so do people. While death is the ultimate taboo, an ancestral profession is revived: that of thanadoula. The men and women (the majority) who practice it engage in conversation with people at the end of their lives and their families to guide them through this painful moment. A valuable role for those who choose to end their day in the familiar and familiar atmosphere of their own home.
We now know the role of doulas, a term from ancient Greek that means "servant," and refers to experienced women whose role is to guide mothers-to-be to live the birth of their child well. The profession of thanadoula is still little known, especially in France. In Canada or Switzerland, training and certification schools for the profession have existed for decades to give the keys to people who want to embark on this path.
In the United States, their numbers have risen sharply since the start of the pandemic, underlines an article by Slate† The site reveals that the National End-of-Life Doula Alliance, which had 200 members in 2019, now has more than 1,000. And, continues the magazine "Some training organizations report that the number of people enrolled has more than tripled, as has the number of people seeking help for themselves or others who are on the brink of death."
Look death in the face
Evidence that the health crisis has put death back at the heart of our concerns. The question of the end of life and death in general has long been avoided by our modern societies. But in contact with a disease that does not necessarily spare the youngest, it was necessary to look the Grim Reaper in the face. The chance to wonder how we would like things to happen when the time comes.
The end-of-life doula, or thanadoula, provides personal support for people at the end of life and their families before, during and after death. Very often his role is critical as families are destitute during the last hours of a loved one's life. She collects the last words and offers reassuring words. The thanadoula then plays a link between life and death, but also between family members and the person at the end of life.
"I hear stories that probably no one before me has heard before," Sara Web, United States thanadoulas, told Slate. I hear stories that maybe no one will ever hear again."
Depending on the wishes of the family, the thanadoula can also accompany her after the death in the practical steps (funeral, administrative procedures, inheritance, etc.).

Posted on October 29, 2018 by Mehedi Hassan in Apple, iOS with 12 Comments
Apple's next hardware event is going down tomorrow. Just a day ahead of the event, Apple today announced that it will release a new update to iOS 12 tomorrow, introducing new features and enhancements.
With iOS 12.1, the company is upgrading the Depth Control feature for Portrait mode on the iPhone Xs with support for real-time preview. The new cameras on the iPhone Xs allow users to control the depth for Portrait mode pictures after taking the pictures — but with iOS 12.1, you will be able to control the depth of field in real-time when taking pictures, as well as after taking the shot. Even though iPhone's Portrait mode still struggles to work accurately with curly hair, etc., I feel like this is probably the biggest feature for me in iOS 12.1.
The update does bring another feature Apple was originally supposed to ship with iOS 12: Group FaceTime. The update enables the ability to make group video and audio calls on FaceTime with up to 32 people. FaceTime uses on-device intelligence to determine prominent speakers on a call to focus on them over other users on a call, as 32 users on a call can get quite crowded. The feature integrates with iMessage as well, meaning you can easily call your iMessage group from the Messages app anytime you want, and members can join at any time, even after the call has started.
And lastly, iOS 12.1 brings more than 70 new emoji, and you can get a closer look at all the new emoji here. The update also enables support for dual SIM on the iPhone Xs, iPhone Xs Max, and iPhone XR, allowing users to use a combination of nano-SIM and digital eSIM if their device and region support it.
iOS 12.1 is overall a fairly nice upgrade to iOS 12, which was already a major release that refined a lot of the problems that was introduced with iOS 11. The update is still just as fast as iOS 12, so you really don't have to worry about performance degradation here. Make sure to give the new features a try and spam your friends with the new emoji tomorrow once the update starts rolling out.

Apple iWatch Enlists the Help of TAG Heuer
Apple hired the sales director of luxury Swiss watch maker TAG Heuer (owned by LVMH) to help with the launch of its new iWatch. According to 9to5Mac, the unnamed executive is Patrick Pruniaux, previously the vice president of sales and retail at TAG Heuer, which is linked to Hublot via the LVMH luxury goods conglomerate.
Apple's attempt is to use the prestigious "Swiss made" label to market its new gadget. According to analysis, Apple has approached a numer of employees from high-end Swiss watch makers without much success. "For sure they are trying to approach the Swiss manufacturers, but the Swiss have got no great interest in working with Apple – if you are a luxury producer and you cooperate with Apple, you have got a dilution," said senior luxury goods analyst Mario Ortelli.
Previously it was reported that Apple's iWatch will come in different sizes and will feature curved AMOLED displays with sapphire cover glass, the same as used on quality watches from different companies. The design of the watch from Apple is unknown, yet it is expected that it will be slim and will compete against sophisticated watches from renowned producers. It is believed that there will be more or less affordable as well as expensive versions of the Apple smart-watches. The latter will include precious materials (e.g., precious metals, carbon fiber, alligator/crocodile leather straps, etc.).
Since nothing particular is currently known about the iWatch, some analysts do not believe that they will actually be competitive against fine watches by various Swiss brands.
"I don't believe that an iWatch will be a threat to luxury Swiss watches," said Jon Cox, an analyst at Kepler Cheuvreux in Zurich. "But where I do see some potential impact is at lower, for example below $1000, price points where there could be a temporary dislocation if there is super high demand for iWatches."
With Apple reportedly looking toward an October introduction for the iWatch, the company is building a formidable team with experience in the fashion industry.
At the top of that list is new retail chief Angela Ahrendts, who officially joined the company two months ago from Burberry. In another high-profile move, Apple last year hired Paul Deneve, CEO of French luxury label Yves Saint Laurent. Deneve reports directly to Apple CEO Tim Cook and is working on "special projects" for the company, with most speculation centering around the iWatch.

Life takes the strangest twists and turns. And then you survey the paths and realize that they branch from the same tree. In fact, there is a saying that there are no obstacles in your path, the obstacles ARE the path. So very true!
As a wee tot, I dreamed of being in a movie, being involved in the technicals of the industry, making the "pretend" play I did as a child, something visual, real and lasting. It just took me a few decades to get there.
I shelved the child dreams and moved on with adulthood and all of its responsibilities and supposed "obstacles."
Then, one day when I got pulled into a possible film project, I decided to join a group locally for film industry, Chandler Film Industry. And we talked immediately about putting together a short film and some features, a documentary, and promoting filming in Arizona, making Chandler Arizona into an indie film capital. And, to my shock and surprise, in a couple months, we we were on the location filming a short and I was asked to play the female in a two-person cast.
I never saw myself as being actress material, but I have always seen myself as someone who rises to any task I'm given. So, I leaped in with both feet.
Without giving away details of this film short, I can say it is a suspense thriller variety, and having been deep into the filming of it, it is work I am exceedingly proud to be associated with.
As soon as I put on my wardrobe and went onto the set for an 17-hour day, I learned to appreciate my heroes, the geeks who do sound, directing photography, key grips, lighting, and the production assistants who scamper around to help rig everything into place just right. The talent cannot ever be taken for granted either, as they take direction, many takes trying to get just what the DP and director want to see on playback. They are on-call to be there to shoot whatever needs to be done, sometimes physically challenging work.
What I've learned from film industry thus far is that the ones who dare to make a film are faced with more obstacles than a band of Vikings on foreign land, yet they seek their goal with such passion that those "obstacles" are really THE path.
I promise to keep everyone informed as we move along with the release of this short that will be entered into film festivals with the potential of a feature length film. I will soon be posted on my IMDB page.

LONDON (Reuters) - Credit ratings agency S&P Global revised its outlook for British tour operator Thomas Cook to "negative" from "stable" on Thursday after the company reported a sharp fall in earnings and cut its profit forecast earlier this week.
Analysts at S&P, who have a "B+" issuer credit rating on Thomas Cook, said they revised their outlook down to reflect "significant deterioration" in operating performance, cash flow generation, and credit metrics.
"We expect full-year 2019 to be challenging, with evidence already of softer winter bookings, continuing difficulties in the UK tour operator market exacerbated by uncertainties around Brexit, and the ever-present event risk in the travel industry," they wrote.
Thomas Cook's weak results - its second profit warning in as many months - drove S&P's ratings-adjusted leverage measure for the company up to 5.9 times debt to EBITDA, from 4.8 times in 2017.
S&P's negative outlook signals it could lower its ratings on Thomas Cook in the next year in the event of "an adverse Brexit outcome" or lack of performance improvement keeping leverage above 5.0 times debt-to-EBITDA, the analysts said.

House Measure Preempts Local Drilling Regulations
Scott Detrow
Scott Detrow is a congressional correspondent for NPR. He also co-hosts the NPR Politics Podcast. Detrow joined NPR in 2015 to cover the presidential election. He focused on the Republican side of the 2016 race, spending time on the campaign trail with Donald Trump, and also reported on the election's technology and data angles. Detrow worked as a statehouse reporter for member stations WITF in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and KQED in San Francisco, California. He has also covered energy policy for NPR's StateImpact project, where his reports on Pennsylvania's hydraulic fracturing boom won a DuPont-Columbia and national Edward R. Murrow Award in 2013.

Governor Corbett laid out his impact fee agenda last month in Pittsburgh
The debate over whether or not to impose an impact fee on natural gas drilling in Pennsylvania is about to be ramped up a few notches.
A new House proposal – unveiled tonight and primed for a Wednesday morning committee vote – would strip municipalities of their right to regulate drilling and drilling-related activities. "All local rules, regulation, code, agreement, resolution, ordinance or other local enactments that regulate oil and gas operation are hereby superseded and preempted," the segment of House Bill 1950 reads.
During a Monday evening press availability, House Majority Leader Mike Turzai said the language came directly from Governor Corbett's office.
The drilling industry has long pushed for statewide standards on drilling zoning and regulations. This spring, Marcellus Shale Coalition president Kathryn Klaber laid out the energy industry's argument, during a presentation to Corbett's Marcellus Shale Advisory Commission:
She pointed out the gas deposit stretches through 37 Pennsylvania counties and 1,491 municipalities. "If you were going to take a drive across Pennsylvania, and you needed to get a new license in each community you went through, that's really the conditions in which the industry is operating," she said.
Klaber complained a handful of municipalities – most notably Pittsburgh — have passed regulations banning drilling or hydraulic fracturing within their boundaries, and argued those ordinances violate state law. She said other municipalities have accomplished the same result, through zoning restrictions targeting drilling, "including up to 1,500 feet from a resident, 2,500 feet – it goes on and on. All sorts of different setbacks from all types of structures," she explained. "And what you really get in those types of situations, I guess it would be an effective ban. Because by the time you do that many setbacks, there isn't any other area within that municipality to place the industry's activities."
Until now, the only major proposal limiting municipalities' drilling regulations came from Senate President Pro Tem Joe Scarnati. The Republican's impact fee would create a "model ordinance," drafted by Pennsylvania's Public Utility Commission. Any township passing regulations that went further than the statewide standard would be barred from receiving impact fee income. Scarnati's "model ordinance" plan remains in Senate Bill 1100, but the measure has been tabled for at least two weeks, as he and other Senate leaders hash out differences on the bill's structure and scope.
Corbett has remained vague on how far he's willing to go, to restrict local governments' ability to regulate drillers. Corbett refrained from endorsing Scarnati's model ordinance plan when he announced his impact fee plan last month, only saying, "The one thing that we definitely need is consistent uniform application of the rules across the state."
At first glance, the preemption language seems at odds with Corbett's other drilling positions. He's dead-set against changes to Pennsylvania's pooling laws, which would allow drillers to, under certain circumstances, extract gas from underneath properties without owners' permission. Corbett is also insistent on a local-level impact fee, imposed and collected by counties. If the impact is in the county, they will determine whether they need it or not," he told reporters in early October.
