GERMANY
EXPANDS
DIESEL PROBE
TO INCLUDE
VW BOARD
CHAIRMAN
German prosecutors have widened their

investigation into Volkswagens handling of
the emissions scandal to include its board
chairman, Hans Dieter Poetsch, the company
said last Sunday.
Poetsch was VWs chief financial officer when
the companys efforts to rig cars to cheat on
U.S. diesel emissions tests became public in
September 2015.

Volkswagen said in a statement that prosecutors in

the German city of Braunschweig are investigating
three members of the board including Poetsch.
Prosecutors were already investigating former
Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn and VW brand
chief Herbert Diess over allegations they didnt
inform investors soon enough.
VW rejects those allegations.
Based on careful examination by internal
and external legal experts, the company
reaffirms its belief that the Volkswagen board
of management duly fulfilled its disclosure
obligation under German capital markets law, it
said in the statement Sunday.
The company said VW and Poetsch would
continue to give the inquiries by the public
prosecutors office their full support.
German law requires publicly traded companies
to alert investors as soon as they become aware
of unforeseen developments that could affect a
decision to buy or sell the stock.
The company has acknowledged learning in
May 2014 that an environmental group had
uncovered emissions irregularities, but that top
officials didnt discuss the matter until more than
a year later. The U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency issued a violation notice on Sept. 18,
2015, leading Volkswagen to assess the risks as
more serious and issue its investor advisory on
Sept. 22, 2015.
Last month, a U.S. federal judge in San Francisco
approved a $15 billion settlement under which
Volkswagen will buy back or fix almost half a
million cars affected by the emissions scandal in
the United States.

TESLA TO END
UNLIMITED
FREE USE OF
SUPERCHARGING
STATIONS
Electric car maker Tesla Motors has decided to

stop offering unlimited free use of its 734 fast
charging stations worldwide, just months before
its scheduled to start selling a mass-market
electric car.
Tesla Motors Inc. says cars ordered after Jan.
1, 2017 will get roughly 1,000 miles worth of
credits each year for use at the Supercharger
stations. But after the credits are used, owners
will have to pay fees that Tesla didnt detail on
Monday. Vehicles ordered or sold on or before
Jan. 1 would still get unlimited free charging.
The move means that those who buy Teslas
mass-market $35,000 Model 3, which is due to
go on sale in the second half of next year, wont
get unlimited free charging. Tesla has more than
300,000 reservations for the cars, and if all those
owners started using supercharger stations for
free, that could get expensive for Tesla.
12
13
14
Tesla wouldnt say specifically how much its

fees will be, but it said charging would cost
less than the price of filling a comparable
gasoline car. The company says it will release
fee details later this year and that prices could
fluctuate over time and vary by regional
electricity costs.
Still, the move shouldnt hurt Tesla sales because
the company remains the market leader for
electric vehicles, and owners dont use the
stations that often, said Tasha Keeney, analyst
for the industrial innovation fund at ARK Invest.
Tesla owners charge their cars at home more
than 90 percent of the time, she said, using the
Superchargers mainly for trips or when they
need extra range.
At the average U.S. electricity price of 12.9 cents
per kilowatt hour, it would cost $9.68 to fully
recharge a Tesla Model S with a 275-mile battery
at home.
EVs are the way forward. Tesla is in a really good
position with 30 percent of the market. We dont
see that changing, said Keeney, whose fund
has holdings in Palo Alto, California-based Tesla
Motors Inc.
Buyers of new cars ordered or sold on or
before Jan. 1 must take delivery before April
1 in order to get the unlimited free charging.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has said previously that
Model 3 owners would have to pay to use the
charging stations.
Teslas stations are used only 5 percent to 10
percent of the day, Keeney said, but many Tesla
owners use them as a social gathering place to
talk with other owners.
15
The Supercharger stations can give the cars 170

miles of range in a half hour. A 30-amp public
charging station can only do 10 miles in a half
hour, the company says on its website. In the
U.S., charging stations are across the nation, but
many are concentrated in population centers
long the East and West Coasts.
The stations were set up to enable long-distance
travel by Tesla electric cars. The companys
Model S sedan can go between 219 and 302
miles per charge depending on battery and
software configurations.
Tesla says the change will let it expand the
supercharger network and it will not make a
profit from the charging stations.

TESLA INKS DEAL

TO BUY GERMAN
MANUFACTURING
ENGINEERING FIRM
Tesla Motors says it has agreed to buy a German

engineering company to help automate its
electric car manufacturing.
The company is buying buy Grohmann
Engineering, which Tesla says is a leader in
highly automated manufacturing methods.
Tesla expects to start building the $35,000
Model 3 electric car next year, and it wants to
build 500,000 cars per year in two years. More
than 300,000 people have put down deposits to
reserve a Model 3.
Tesla expects to add more than 1,000
engineering and technician jobs in Germany
over the next two years.
The company says the acquisition should
bring improvement in the speed and quality of
production at its Fremont, California, factory. The
deal is expected to close early next year.
The purchase price wasnt disclosed.

MOZART 225
CONTAINS ALL
OF HIS MUSIC IN
200-CD BOX SET
Mozart 225: The New Complete Edition (Decca

and Deutsche Grammophon)
What measures 11 inches square and 7 inches
high, weighs 21 1/2 pounds and takes 10 days
and nights to play?
Answer: A new box set jam-packed with 200 CDs
that contains every note composed by Wolfgang
Amadeus Mozart in his short 35 years of life.
Just in time for the 225th anniversary of
the composers death on Dec. 5, Decca and
Deutsche Grammophon have combined forces
to issue this compilation, mind-boggling in its
thoroughness and admirable in its scholarly
depth. There are other Complete Mozart sets
on the market, but this one has fair claim to
boast that its completer than the rest.
22
23
24
Talk about your embarrassment of riches!

Chronologically, the compilation starts
with Mozarts first known compositions,
two fragmentary Andantes in C major for
harpsichord lasting 17 seconds and 14 seconds
respectively, written in 1761 when he was
5 years old. It ends with his Requiem, left
unfinished at his death in 1791.
In between are not just all 27 piano concertos,
41 symphonies, every opera, song and sonata,
but many alternate versions, fragments,
arrangements of music by Handel and Bach and
even works whose authorship is in dispute.
Of particular historical interest is the world
premiere recording of a recently discovered
lost song that Mozart apparently composed
in collaboration with Antonio Salieri. Written in
1785, Mozarts contribution to Per la ricuperata
salute di Ofelia (For the recovered health of
Ophelia) consists of just two stanzas lasting
under a minute and a half. But the elegantly
simple tune is instantly recognizable as the work
of the composer.
25
26
Among the extras packed into the sturdy box

are five collectors prints of Mozart autograph
scores, the last-known portrait and a letter to his
father. There are also two hardcover books - a
new biography of the composer and a work-bywork commentary - plus a booklet presenting
the numbering of the Salzburg Mozarteum
Foundations forthcoming new edition of the
Kochel catalog of Mozarts works.
There is so much material here it would take
weeks or months to survey thoroughly. And the
suggested retail price tag of $479.98 means a
significant financial commitment. Definitely not
for the casual listener, but for serious Mozart
lovers its a treasure trove.

GEMALTO CEO PROMISES

GROWTH AFTER PROFIT
WARNING FEARS
Gemalto on Oct. 28 cut the forecast to 500

million euros ($553 million) to 520 million euros,
from 660 million euros previously. It cited the
combined effect of some contract delays and
the need to keep spending on items including
its distribution network. Analysts predict
earnings before interest and taxes will be 484
million euros next year on average; a month
ago, they were still expecting 518 million euros,
within a range as high as 609 million euros.
We couldve edged closer to analystss
consensus if wed sacrificed investments, but
we cant under-invest only to boost short-term
profitability, Vallee said. Growth prospects are
very good in our markets beyond 2017, and
Gemalto needs to prepare for that, he said. The
companys recent wins include contracts to
secure connected objects for Alibaba Group
Holding Ltd, cars for PSA Group, as well as
mobile payments in Japan through Apple Inc.s
Apple Pay.
29
30
In the final quarter of this year, Vallee forecast

government, enterprise and machine-tomachine units will grow faster than in the third
quarter. The banking segment will keep to the
same trend as in the third quarter, and the SIM
card business will shrink at a rate of 10 percent
to 15 percent, he said.
Vallee, whose plan is to grow Gemalto
organically by developing new product
features and expanding into new geographies,
is open to making acquisitions and said hed be
comfortable boosting debt temporarily to do
deals. The company was outbid in September
for Safran SAs biometrics arm, which sold for
2.4 billion euros.
We hadnt based our 2017 targets on that
acquisition, and not doing it wont dent our
business in any way, Vallee said. Weve got
an M&A radar to keep track of potentially
interesting targets. Depending on how
markets evolve, we can step on the gas and
reach for an acquisition.

TRUMP WIN RAISES

QUESTIONS ABOUT
UN CLIMATE DEAL
The election of a U.S. president who has

called global warming a hoax alarmed
environmentalists and climate scientists
Wednesday and raised questions about whether
America, once again, would pull out of an
international climate deal.
Many said its now up to the rest of the world
to lead efforts to rein in greenhouse gas
emissions, while others held out hope that
Donald Trump would change his stance and
honor U.S. commitments under last years
landmark Paris Agreement.
Now that the election campaign has passed
and the realities of leadership settle in, I expect
he will realize that climate change is a threat
to his people and to whole countries which
share seas with the U.S., including my own, said
Marshall Islands President Hilda Heine.
Image: Tom Pennington
33
Small island nations which fear they will

be swallowed by rising seas are among the
biggest supporters of the Paris deal and other
international efforts to curb emissions, mainly
from fossil fuels.
More than 100 countries, including the U.S., have
formally joined the agreement, which seeks to
reduce emissions and help vulnerable countries
adapt to rising seas, intensifying heat waves, the
spreading of deserts and other climate changes.
Im sure that the rest of the world will continue
to work on it, Moroccan chief negotiator Aziz
Mekouar said at U.N. climate talks in Marrakech.
Many environmentalists and scientists
werent so sure.
The Paris Agreement and any U.S. leadership in
international climate progress is dead, said Dana
Fisher, director of the Program for Society and
the Environment at the University of Maryland.
However, the transition toward cleaner energy
is so entrenched in the U.S. it would continue
without federal money, she added.
The U.S. under the Bush administration declined
to join the previous climate deal, the 1997 Kyoto
Protocol, which greatly reduced its impact on
global emissions. But President Barack Obama
made climate change a priority and was
instrumental in making the Paris Agreement
come together.
Trump pledged in May to cancel the Paris deal.
He has called for stripping regulations to allow
unfettered production of fossil fuels - a key
source of emissions - and rescinding the Clean
Power Plan, an Obama administration strategy
to fight climate change.
34
Image: Patrick Kovarik
35
36
In May, Trump told an oil and gas conference in

North Dakota he would save the coal industry
and stop all payments of U.S. tax dollars to
global warming programs.
Trump will try and slam the brakes on
climate action, which means we need to
throw all of our weight on the accelerator,
said May Boeve, leader of the 350.org
environmental group.
The pro-fossil fuels American Energy Alliance
said Trumps victory presents a chance to reset
harmful energy policies in the United States.
He has laid out an energy plan that puts the
needs of American families and workers first,
the groups president, Thomas Pyle, said.
While shell-shocked American climate
activists in Marrakech cried and embraced,
U.S. negotiators declined to speak to reporters
about the elections outcome.
However, before the two-week conference,
U.S. officials said they expect other countries
to stay the course irrespective of what
Washington decides, because they see it is in
their national interests.
Li Shuo, a climate policy expert at
Greenpeace in China, said his nation - the
worlds top polluter - would continue to work
on climate change out of its own very genuine
concern on air pollution, water pollution and
food security.
The withdrawal process would take four
years - an entire presidential term - under
the terms of the agreement. However, Trump
could also decide to simply ignore the Obama
administrations Paris pledge to reduce U.S.
37
38
emissions by 26-28 percent from 2005 levels

by 2025. The pledges are self-determined, and
there is no punishment for countries that miss
their targets.
Alden Meyer of the Union of Concerned
Scientists, a veteran U.S. observer of the
climate talks, said he hopes Trump will adopt
a more responsible view in office.Even he
does not have the power to amend and change
the laws of physics, to stop the impacts of
climate change, to stop the rising sea levels,
Meyer said.
Several analyses have shown that the world is
not on track to keep the global temperature
rise below 2 degrees C (3.6 degrees F)
compared with preindustrial times, the goal
of the Paris Agreement. Temperatures have
already gone up by half that amount.
Many climate scientists who feel countries
arent doing enough to reduce emissions were
dismayed by the Trumps victory.
Can the world do climate stewardship without
the U.S.? It has to, said Jason Box, a glacier
expert at the Geological Survey of Denmark
and Greenland.
Among the minority of researchers who
disagree that global warming is a major
threat, Trumps win sparked hopes that a new
administration would somehow change the
way science looks at the issue.
Expect some long-awaited, rigorous
examination of the theory/models, John
Christy, of the University of Alabama,
Huntsville, wrote in an email. The danger just
isnt there.

BLOCKAGES
Several far-right Polish groups have protested

outside Facebooks office in Warsaw after the
social networking site temporarily blocked
their profiles.
About 120 people demonstrated in the Polish
capital last week, denouncing what they said
was censorship.
Facebook recently blocked the profiles of farright nationalist groups ahead of nationalist
demonstrations on Independence Day next
Friday, Nov. 11. In recent years, extremist
groups have clashed violently with police
on the annual holiday. Facebook has since
unblocked the profiles.

Those at the rally in Warsaw called on Facebook

to respect the freedom of expression as

constitutional rights.
Other groups at the rally included the National
Radical Camp and All-Polish Youth.

CONTRADICTORY STATISTICS INDICATE

EXTENT OF RIVALRY
Two reports recently emerged shedding some
light on not only how tight the competition
continues to be between the operating systems
of iOS and Android, but also how dramatically
Apple and Google differ in their mobile
strategies. For, while 2016s third quarter saw
Androids share of the smartphone market reach
nearly 88%, it also saw Apples iPhone line take
over 100% of the markets profits.
ANDROID:
A LEADER, BUT A HOLLOW ONE
Fresh data from Strategy Analytics could have
led many observers to believe that Android has
pretty much sewn up the smartphone market.
After all, the data revealed that Android was on
a mammoth 87.5% of smartphones shipped
during the just-gone quarter; that compared
to the 12.1% share that Apples iOS took in the
same period.
Indeed, Woody Oh, Director at Strategy
Analytics, unsurprisingly remarked that
Androids lead looks unassailable, adding that
the systems low-cost services and user-friendly
software remain attractive to hardware makers,
operators and consumers worldwide. However,
the true picture of the smartphone market is
a lot more complex than these figures alone
would suggest. What company is making most
of the profits in this sector?
The answer is, by an amazingly long chalk,
Apple. Analysts at BMO Capital Markets have
estimated that, during that same quarter,
Apple captured 103.6% of those profits. While
47
48
Samsung had the second highest slice of profits,

the failure and withdrawal of the explosionprone Galaxy Note 7 meant that the South
Korean giants share was a mere 0.9% this time
around. Most smartphone vendors actually lost
money on smartphones, which explains why
Apples share was able to exceed 100%.
APPLE IS ALSO FINANCIALLY HELPING

DEVELOPERS MORE
Its a similar story when it comes to which
systems official app outlet makes the most
money. Looking back at the third quarter, while
Androids Google Play was responsible for 70% of
app downloads, the iOS App Store still amassed
65% of the revenue, mobile analytics firm
App Annie has reported. The generally greater
affluence of iPhone owners likely helps to explain
such discrepancies; Android remains especially
strong in emerging markets.
Another reason for the rather lopsided makeup
of the smartphone market is that, quite simply,
Apple and Google are employing deliberately
different strategies. Its a proxy war, if you will,
albeit one that could soon noticeably change
following the release of Googles own-brand
Pixel and Pixel XL handsets but well return to
the subject of them later. For now, were going
to scrutinize how iOS and Android have each
reached their particular positions.
A TALE OF TWO BUSINESS MODELS

In fact, Google itself appears to be among the
many companies distantly trailing Apple when it
comes to revenue from smartphones. In January,
a lawsuit between the search giant and Oracle
49
50
Image: Christoph Dernbach
51
saw a lawyer for the latter claim that, in its

entire lifetime, Android has made $31 billion
in revenue for Google. The mention of billions
of dollars makes this figure seem impressive
but Apple has easily bettered it.
As Quartz observed following this revelation,
Apples iPhone generated $32.2 billion in
sales during the third quarter of 2015. This
was, at the time of the Quartz report, the most
recent quarter for which Apple had announced
its financial results. This means that, yes, Apple
has made more money from the iPhone in a
single quarter than Google has made from
Android during the entire period it has been
part of the companys portfolio.
Now, this is actually to use a half-pun an
apples-to-oranges comparison, albeit one that
remains very interesting for the great differences
that it reveals about the mobile strategies of
Apple and Google. Apple made this money from
sales of the iPhone hardware, while Google,
until recently, didnt make its own hardware,
instead bringing in money from Google Play and
advertisements displayed on Android phones.
Apples hardware-first approach has likely, as
observed by 9to5Mac, helped it to command
high margins, while also enabling it to avoid
the advertising model on which Google is
much more reliant. Googles approach was
even recently criticized by Apple co-founder
Steve Wozniak, who at the Festival of Marketing
in October, said that genuine marketing was
defined by understanding what people want
in products, adding: Google primarily makes
money off advertising, while Apple makes [it
from] good products theres a big difference.
52
53
54
THE EMERGING BATTLE OF

iPHONE VS PIXEL
Nonetheless, there is one big sign that Google
might be shifting its strategy, if only slightly:
its announcement of its first own-brand
smartphones, the Pixel and Pixel XL, in
October. At first glance, these phones appear
to have a lot in common with the iPhone: they
come in standard and phablet sizes, are
pretty impressive as far as camera technology
goes, and will support years of updates to the
operating system. Then, theres the premium
pricing, which starts at $649.
However, its from its services that Google largely
makes its money and theres no doubt that the
Pixel handsets are geared towards encouraging
use of those services. So, the Siri-like Google
Assistant is included, as are the Google Allo
and Duo messaging services. The phones are
also ready for use with Googles virtual reality
platform Daydream, and photos can be backed
up in full quality to the Google Photos cloud
service. There are plenty of indications, then,
that Google is happy to have its cake and eat it.
Still, it remains to be seen how quickly Google
will make inroads into Apples huge share of the
smartphone markets profit pool. After all, the
Android purveyor is playing catch-up with its
Cupertino rival here; the Pixel phones suffer a few
notable omissions in comparison to the iPhone 7
and iPhone 7 Plus. These include optical image
stabilization for snapping life-like photos and
the same level of water resistance. Indeed,
with Google having reportedly rushed out
thephones in just nine months, its a slightly
clumsy, if still promising, start.
55
APPLE TRANSITIONS INTO A

SERVICES COMPANY
Yet, Apple also appears to be gradually shaking
up its long-established formula for success.
The company evidently remains determined
to protect its enviable profit margins, having
reportedly opted against refreshing the
relatively low-cost iPhone SE for 2017s
second quarter. However, Apples services
business, including the iTunes Store, Apple Music
and Apple Pay, has achieved impressive growth.
In fact, after the disclosure of Apples financial
results for the third quarter of the 2016, CEO
Tim Cook told CNBC that this services business
alone will be the size of a Fortune 100
company by next year. During that quarter,
services had brought Apple $5.976 billion in
revenue 19% higher than in the same quarter
a year earlier. In the following quarter, that
revenue reached $6.3 billion, representing a
further 24% in year-on-year growth.
Does this seem familiar? Probably yes, because
its closer to a Google approach than what
Apple has utilized in years past. In truth, as both
companies work hard to continue growing their
revenues, its not obvious why either should
adhere to a primary focus on either hardware
or software when they can instead extensively
draw upon the benefits of both. Thats probably
going to make the contest between iOS and
Android even closer over time, further increasing
the difficulty of discerning which operating
system is truly winning.

NEW RECALL HEADACHE

FOR SAMSUNG:
3M WASHING MACHINES
In another black eye for one of the worlds

leading consumer brands, U.S. authorities
announced a recall last week of nearly 3 million
Samsung washing machines following several
reports of injuries - including a broken jaw - due
to excessive vibration.
The recall comes a month after the South Korean
manufacturer recalled millions of its Galaxy
Note 7 smartphones from consumers around
the world, because of a mysterious problem
that caused the phones batteries to overheat
and catch fire. Since then, the company stopped
producing that device entirely, while estimating
the debacle will cost it $5.3 billion.
Samsung said Friday that its washing machine
recall would also extend to models sold in
Canada, although it said no injuries had been
reported in that country.
59
The company launched an earlier, unrelated

recall of washing machines in Australia in 2013,
after authorities said an electrical problem in
certain models was causing fires. Australian
authorities last year called that problem a major
safety failure, after receiving complaints that the
company was offering repairs but not a refund
or replacement, as required by Australian law.
The current recall comes after weeks of
discussions between Samsung and U.S.
authorities about reports that the drums in
certain top-loading washing machine models
can become unbalanced and cause severe
vibration, in some cases causing the top of the
machine to detach from the chassis.
Samsung was hit with a lawsuit over the
summer by attorneys representing consumers
in Texas, Indiana and Georgia who say their
washing machines exploded while being used.
In a statement Friday , the U.S. Consumer
Product Safety Commission cited 733 reports
of Samsung machines that experienced
excessive vibration and nine related reports
of injuries, including a broken jaw and an
injured shoulder.
Samsung said the problem occurred when
a high-speed spin cycle was used to wash
bedding or other bulky items. In a statement,
the companys U.S. subsidiary said its working
with retailers and the commission to inform
consumers about the problem.
Our priority is to reduce any safety risks in the
home and to provide our customers with easy
and simple choices in response to the recall,
said John Herrington, a Samsung senior vice
president, in the statement.
60

61
Samsung is one of the worlds leading

manufacturers of home appliances,
smartphones and other tech products, including
batteries and memory chips.
In the current recall, the company is offering
consumers a choice between a free repair
and a rebate toward the purchase of a new
washing machine. Consumers who purchased
an affected model in the last 30 days are being
offered a full refund.
The recall affects 34 models of top-loading
washing machines manufactured between 2011
and this year. They were sold at Best Buy, The
Home Depot, Lowes, Sears and other stores for
prices between $450 and $1,500.

CHINA APPROVES
LAW TO TIGHTEN
CONTROL ON
INTERNET USE
Chinas legislature has approved a cybersecurity

law that human rights activists warn will tighten
political controls and foreign companies say
might isolate Chinese industries.
Chinese leaders have said the law approved
Monday is required to prevent crime and
terrorism. It also prohibits activity aimed at
overthrowing the socialist system, a reference
to opposition to the ruling Communist Partys
monopoly on power.
The measure tightens control on where Chinese
citizens data are stored and impose standards
for security technology.
Human rights groups complain the measure will
tighten already sweeping controls on speech. A
coalition of business groups warned in August
it might isolate Chinese companies from the
global economy and limit foreign access to
Chinas market for security technology.

INDIA TRYING
TO FIX HACKED
WEBSITES OF 7
OF ITS EMBASSIES
Indian officials were trying Tuesday to restore

the websites of seven Indian embassies in
Europe and Africa that were hacked and had
data dumped online.
The security of the websites of Indian embassies
in Italy, Switzerland, South Africa, Libya, Malawi,
Mali and Romania was breached by hackers who
identified themselves to the media as Kaputsky
and Kasimierz L.
We are aware of the problem and are trying to
fix it, External Affairs Ministry spokesman Vikas
Swarup told reporters.
67
Attempts were being made to track the IP

addresses of the hackers, who posted online
the names, email addresses, phone numbers
and passport numbers of some embassy
staff members.
Several Indian websites have come under attack
this year. Last month, Pakistan-based hackers
targeted more than 7,000 Indian websites after
India launched a series of attacks on terror
camps in Pakistan. Also in October, the security
of around 3.2 million debit cards in India was
breached when hackers inserted malware
through an ATM network.

INTERNET FREEZES
FOR MANNEQUIN
CHALLENGE CRAZE
Forget dumping ice buckets, dancing or

planking, the latest viral phenomenon sweeping
the internet consists of people standing still as
part of the mannequin challenge.
Videos of the challenge feature posing as
mannequins in dramatic postures. They
began to appear late last month online and
by last weekend everyone from high school
cheerleaders in Texas to the NBAs Milwaukee
Bucks had taken part.
The Dallas Cowboys went airborne for their
challenge, complete with a stoic Tony Romo
being stuffed into an overhead compartment on
the team plane.
The challenge has become a victory celebration
for some teams. Texas Christian, Penn State
and Clemsonsfootball teams posted mannequin
challenges after big wins Saturday.
The videos are set to the song Black Beatles
by rap duo Rae Sremmurd, which held a live
version of the challenge during a concert last
70
week.

that they continue to be known for, even after
50 years of performing live.
FIVE FACTS:
1. The Rolling Stones have grossed over $750
million from their concerts down the years.
Genre: Rock
Released: 11 November 2016

3. Locks of Mick Jaggers hair, cut off him
during the 60s, have been taken to auction
and sold for 4,000 (approximately $5,000).

Richards himself.
5. Despite the bands many hits down the
years, its debut album only had one original
song. Tell Me (Youre Coming Back) was
written by Richards and Jagger after their
manager locked them in a kitchen and
forced them to write.

REVIEW:
ARRIVAL LUMBERS,
AND THATS NOT
JUST THE ALIENS
It turns out that when space aliens do eventually

arrive on Earth - and, wouldnt you know it, they
traveled all that way without bothering to learn
any of our languages beforehand? - we wont need
any fancy high-tech gizmos with LED screens to
communicate. All well need is a simple whiteboard
and a black marker to break the intergalactic ice
and say hi.
Thats among some of the hard-to-swallow
premises of Arrival , a sluggish, naturalistic
meditation on loss and time that also happens
to have lumbering spidery, squid-like aliens who
arrive in a spacecraft that resemble massive
watermelon seeds.
The film tries to straddle the line between serious
sci-fi that examines Big Ideas (like Solaris) and
the kind of popcorn-munching, go-get-thoseslimy-critters summer blockbusters (hello,
Independence Day). It doesnt always succeed
and ends on such a muddled philosophical note
102
Image: Jan Thijs
103
104
that you may need the whiteboard back for a quick

explanation to be mapped out.
Amy Adams stars as linguist Dr. Louise Banks
- the top of everyones list when it comes to
translations - who is enlisted by the military to
help communicate with one of 12 alien ships that
suddenly appear on Earth, silent and eerie. (Wait,
theyre shy?)
Shes aided by an admirable Jeremy Renner, a
theoretical physicist, who nicely doesnt end
up being smarmy and condescending. Forest
Whitaker plays a grim military leader trying to
protect the pairs work despite pressure from
upstairs to bomb the aliens into calamari.
Adams, whose character is reeling from personal
turmoil, delivers a heart-wrenchingly beautiful
performance using her ability to communicate a
half-dozen emotions just standing still. Wonder,
sorrow and anguish are written all over her face.
But director Denis Villeneuve (Sicario) sometimes
gets lost in repetition and blind alleys, causing the
inherent tautness of the story to go slack. Why do
we spend so much time in a shaft inside the aliens
ship? How many times must we watch Adams
trudge off to be decontaminated?
The plot is based on Ted Chiangs Story of Your
Life and adapted by Eric Heisserer. The leap to
the screen has been benefited by the slow reveal
of the aliens, a gorgeous sequence in which
we follow a helicopter to a landing site and the
nifty way the filmmakers show the aliens visual
language, which resembles stains on a coffee table
made by a perspiring beer pint. (It brings new
meaning to Banks statement, Language is messy.)
Once communication has been made - actually,
that whiteboard seems less impressive when we
105
106
learn the aliens had telepathic powers all along the real bad guys end up being that old faceless
movie punching bag: The military.
The film virtually goes off the rails at this point as
tanks and guns pointed from by-the-book soldiers
threaten to undo the good will. Whether the aliens
are peaceful or malevolent - are they offering a tool
or a weapon? - turns this tale into another run-ofthe-mill alien invasion yarn.
The ghostly music by Johann Johannsson - with
an assist by Max Richter - is truly a thoughtful
soundscape, and the films inherent stillness is
nicely broken by the militarys engines of war, which
threaten communication in more ways than one.
But perhaps the biggest problem with Arrival is
that first contact has already clearly been made
- to Steven Spielberg and his masterful Close
Encounters of the Third Kind.
Whether subconsciously or as an overt nod to the
master, Villeneuve echoes Spielbergs use of edgy
soldiers and his heroes sleeplessly obsessing about
alien communication, right down to using clay
models and kids drawings. Both films even share
the image of backlit aliens speaking to humans
while in a cloud of fog.
So, with all due respect to Arrival, rent that 1977
film instead.
Arrival, a Paramount Pictures release, is rated PG-13 by the Motion
Picture Association of America for brief strong language. MPAA
definition of PG-13: Parental guidance suggested, with some material
may not be suitable for children. Running time: 116 minutes. Three
stars out of four.

THE EVOLUTION OF
AMY ADAMS ON VIEW IN
ARRIVAL, NOCTURNAL
For a time, Amy Adams, a former chorus girl

from Colorado, was known for her princesses
and country girls: sweet and sunny characters
that helped make Adams a star.
I call them the innocents - like Picasso, my
innocent period, Adams says, chuckling. But
the naivety or anything that I brought to a role, I
didnt feel trapped by it. I thought each of them
saw the world in a different way. I was perplexed
that people saw me in that way but I understood
it. I didnt know when or how that would
change, but I knew it needed to in order for me
to evolve as an actress.
That evolution has been going on for some time,
from the forceful restraint of her performances
in Doubt and The Master to more unbridled
outings in a pair of David O. Russell films, The
Fighter and American Hustle. At 42, she is
already a five-time Oscar nominee. But this fall,
in a pair of intelligent, layered performances,
Adams expanding range and growing
complexity has never been more on view.
109
In Denis Villeneuves Arrival, she stars as

a linguist tasked by the government with
communicating with newly landed aliens whose
sleek, orb-like ships are mysteriously hovering
just off the ground. The movie, which opens
Friday, is thick with a Close Encounters of the
Third Kind atmosphere and resonant - through
Adams performance - with deeper emotions
than your average sci-fi film.
Adams also stars in Tom Fords Nocturnal
Animals (out Nov. 18), as a Manhattan gallerist
trapped in an unhappy marriage. When a novel
written by her first husband (Jake Gyllenhaal)
arrives, shes teleported into a fictional world.
The books story, a bloody thriller, is heavy with
personal subtext.
Both of these characters come to a crossroads
and I feel like Im at a bit of a crossroads, Adams
reflected in an interview in September at the
Toronto International Film Festival, where both
films played.
Its being a mom and entering my 40s and
looking at things in a different way, a way that
has been really awesome, Adams said of her
shift. I feel really happy about the changes that
have happened internally. I feel like these films
helped that happen.
But those changes, she says, are mostly
about finding a balance between her career
and her family life. She and husband Darren
Le Gallo have a six-year-old daughter.
Though spelling out the connection would
give too much away, motherhood was an
especially powerful influence on Arrival.
Adams agreed to do the film within 24 hours
of being sent the script.
110
111
Every time I start talking about my daughter in

relationship to Arrival, it goes straight to tears,
says Adams. My husband saw the film before I
did and he couldnt talk to me for a while.
Adams range as an actress is a sneaky kind. There
are no tales of tortured transformations. She
simply keeps showing up in role after role, fully
inhabiting a character with warmth and smarts
while, to varying degrees, remaining herself.
Working with her acting coach, Warner Loughlin,
Adams builds the essence of a character in
advance of shooting so that she can be free and
reactive on set. That was especially necessary in
both Arrival and Nocturnal Animals because
both films call on her to express much without
speaking. In the latter, shes often just reading.
I have to be active and I have to drive a sort of
emotional core through the movie, says Adams,
but yet Im very much reactive at the same time.
In Nocturnal Animals, I was alone a lot.
112
Image: Merrick Morton
113
Villeneuve, the Quebec director of Sicario and

Prisoners, says he needed a strong actress who
could emote a lot while often acting against a
tennis ball.
I knew that the movie would be on her
shoulders, says Villeneuve. I wanted someone
who you could read what was she was going
through without words. The movie is Amy
Adams, to me.
Ford, the fashion designer whose previous film,
A Single Man, pursued Adams for some of the
same qualities.
Its in her eyes. She has a soul and you can look
right into her eyes and see it. You cannot not like
Amy Adams, says Ford. There was not a bad take
of that woman. Her brain is always moving and
everything shes thinking is always on her face.
Adams hasnt entirely left the innocents
behind. She will reprise her Enchanted role in a
sequel for Disney. And she has reliably been the
most lively, intelligent thing in the DC Comics
films as Lois Lane.
Id love to do a whole Lois thing but I dont
think thats where theyre going, she says, with
sarcastic understatement. I can safely say that
Justice League is not a Lois Lane stand-alone.
Unfortunate as that is, the question remains:
What cant Amy Adams do?
I cant speak Mandarin. I can tell you that from
my experience on Arrival, Adams says. That
was the only time Denis and I had any conflict,
because I was so stressed out. He was like
(dropping her voice for a spot-on impression of
Villeneuves deep Quebecois accent), You have
to calm down. You must calm down.

SAMSUNG TO
OFFER DIGITAL
ASSISTANT SERVICE
IN GALAXY S8
Samsung Electronics said Sunday it will offer

an artificial intelligence assistant service in the
upcoming flagship smartphone, as the South
Korean firm seeks recovery from its global
smartphone recalls.
The Galaxy S8 will let users order food or
perform other tasks without going through a
third-party application but by simply asking
the phones virtual assistant, Samsung said in
a statement. The artificial intelligence service
will also be made available in Samsungs
other consumer electronics products, such as
refrigerators.
The company declined to disclose what specific
tasks the S8 phone will perform through its
artificial intelligence feature.
Samsung is expected to unveil the next iteration
for its flagship Galaxy device in spring as it has
typically done in the past. Sales of the Galaxy
S8 will be crucial for the recovery of Samsungs
116
117
118
mobile business, which saw its latest quarterly

profit nearly wiped out by two global recalls
of the Galaxy Note 7 smartphone. Samsung
estimates it has lost at least $5.3 billion as it
discontinued the model, which overheated and
caught fire.
The company said last month that it has
not figured out what went wrong with the
Note 7 phones.
The South Korean company joined the race
to create the digital assistant service when it
acquired in October Viv Labs Inc., a Silicon Valley
startup launched by the same entrepreneurs
who sold Siri to Apple. Past and current
Samsung phones offer a voice assistant service
called S Voice developed internally, but the
feature did not gain much traction.
Samsungs acquisition of the Silicon Valley firm
was seen as its taking another step to seek
independence from Google, which offers its
brand of virtual assistant service in Androidpowered devices.
Executives at Samsung and Viv Labs said

that the biggest difference between the
existing digital assistant and the one they are
jointly developing is that the latter will be an
open AI platform, meaning that third-party
developers will be able to offer their services
through Samsungs AI platform.
Our Galaxy smartphones dont provide services
that enable consumers to order pizza or coffee,
but does provide third party applications. But
the new AI platform will enable consumers to
do things that they would usually do through
a separate third party application, Samsungs
statement said.

PLANS CLOSER
Chinas plans for a permanent space station

remain firmly on track with the successful launch
of its new heavy-lift Long March 5 rocket that
will enable ambitious future missions, including
a planned trip to Mars.
The towering rocket that blasted off last week
from the Wenchang launch center will be used
to launch components for the Tiangong 2 space
station and other massive payloads.
China launched the Tiangong 2 precursor facility
in September and sent up two astronauts in
mid-October to live aboard it for 30 days. The
stations 20-ton core module will be launched
in 2018, and the completed 60-ton station is set
to come into full service in 2022 and last at least
a decade.
The Tiangong, or Heavenly Palace, stations are
considered stepping stones to an unmanned
mission to Mars by the end of the decade.

131
The Long March 5s next mission will be lofting

the robotic Change 5 probe to the moon next
year to land a rover before returning to Earth
with samples.
The 57-meter (187-foot) two-stage rocket is
Chinas largest, capable of carrying 25 tons of
payload into low-earth orbit and 14 tons to the
more distant geostationary transfer orbit, in
which a satellite orbits constantly above a fixed
position on the earths surface. That is more
than twice the carrying capacity of Chinas most
capable current rocket, the Long March 7.
It is also just slightly less brawny than the most
powerful rocket in service, the United Launch
Alliances Delta IV, although SpaceXs Falcon
Heavy, planned for launching next year, is
designed to carry a payload into low-earth orbit
of more than twice that size.
132
Not to be outdone, China is working on an

even bigger rocket capable of lifting 100 tons
of payload into low-earth orbit, Tian Yulong, the
programs chief engineer, was quoted as saying
at a news conference following Thursdays
launch. That would put it in the range of the
now-retired Saturn 5 rockets the U.S. used in the
Apollo lunar missions.
Unlike earlier rockets that used highly toxic fuels,
the Long March 5 burns a more environmentally
friendly and less expensive kerosene-liquid
oxygen-liquid hydrogen mix. It has a takeoff
weight of 870 tons and a thrust of 1,060 tons.
Wenchang on the southern island of Hainan is
Chinas fourth and newest launch site.
Although Thursdays mission was mainly
designed to test the reliability of the Long March
5, it also carried a satellite for testing technology
used to observe space debris, new electric
sources and electric propulsion, according to the
official Xinhua News Agency.
133
134
Its upper section, the Yuanzheng 2, is designed

to better launch multiple satellites and send
them directly into orbit, Xinhua said.
In a joint congratulatory letter following the
launch, the ruling Communist Partys Central
Committee, the cabinet and the commission
overseeing the military praised the new rocket
as the pinnacle of innovation in carrier rocket
science and technology.
Its successful launch... marks a milestone in
Chinas transition from a major player in space
to a major power in space, the letter said,
according to state media.

UN CLIMATE CHIEF:
NO DOUBT WORLD
WILL SHIFT TO
LOW EMISSIONS
Climate negotiators started work Monday on

implementing the Paris Agreement on global
warming amid uncertainty over how the U.S.
election will impact the landmark deal as
temperatures and greenhouse gases soar to
new heights.
U.N. climate chief Patricia Espinosa told
delegates in the rain-soaked Moroccan city
of Marrakech that no politician or citizen, no
business manager or investor can doubt that
the world is determined to shift toward a lowemission, resilient society.
So far, 100 countries have formally joined the
agreement adopted last year in Paris, including
top polluters China, the United States, the
European Union and India.
137
138
However, U.S. Republican presidential candidate

Donald Trump has said he would cancel the deal
if he wins the election this week. His opponent,
Hillary Clinton, backs the climate policies of
President Barack Obamas government.
The upcoming election seemed to be on
everyones mind at the start of the two-week
conference in Marrakech, where even security
guards at the sprawling conference center were
overheard discussing the potential implications
for the world and efforts to fight climate change
in particular.
Trump becoming President? I personally dont
have problem with it. But what does the guy
want to do? said Adjo Bokon, a delegate from
the West African nation of Togo. Is he conscious
of what is going on with climate change?
Gabriela Fischerova, a Slovak official
representing the European Union, said
the 28-nation bloc is open to any result.
We will continue our discussions with any
administration that will be in place.
The Paris Agreement marks the first time all
countries have pledged to fight global warming
by curbing the rise in greenhouse gas emissions,
primarily carbon dioxide from fossil fuels.
The U.N. says global emissions rise every year,
reaching 52.7 billion tons in 2014, primarily
driven by the rapid expansion of China, India
and other Asian economies.
Meanwhile, global average temperatures keep
hitting new records. Last year was the hottest
since reliable record-keeping began in the
19th century and this year is expected to be
even hotter.
139
140
On a per-capita basis, rich countries like the

United States, Australia and oil-rich Gulf nations,
have the highest emissions.
The wealthiest countries live as if there were
three planets, said French Environment Minister
Segolene Royal. Meanwhile, poor countries in
Africa who have contributed very little to the
problem are suffering the consequences with
fertile land turning into desert, she said.
Delegates will meet for two weeks in the
Moroccan city to work on the rules for
implementing the Paris deal, including how to
measure and report emissions so that countries
can be held accountable.
The goal of the agreement is to keep the global
temperature rise below 2 degrees Celsius
(3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) compared with preindustrial times, and pursue efforts to try to
hold it to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
The lower threshold was introduced on demand

from vulnerable countries such as low-lying
island nations who fear they will be washed
away by rising seas as global warming melts
glaciers and ice sheets.
Temperatures have already risen about 1 degree
C (1.8 degrees F) since the industrial revolution
and analyses of the emissions cuts that countries
have pledged so far show they put the world
on a path to about 3 degrees C (5.4 degrees F)
of warming.
Decisions made in the next few years will
largely determine if were able to achieve the
1.5 C warming threshold agreed in Paris, said
Manuel Pulgar-Vidal, Perus former environment
minister who now leads environmental group
WWF Internationals work on climate change.
Or if we take the unthinkable option of blowing
right past it.

REPORT OF DIFFERENT
SAMSUNG PHONE
MODEL EXPLODING
A Samsung phone user in France says her Galaxy

J5 smartphone caught fire and exploded on
Sunday. The model is different from the Galaxy
Note 7 that has been recalled worldwide.
Lamya Bouyirdane told The Associated Press
on Monday that she noticed the phone was
very hot after she asked her four-year-old son
to pass it over during a family gathering at her
home. She said she threw the phone away when
she realized it had swollen up and smoke was
coming out.
I panicked when I saw the smoke and I had
the reflex to throw it away, said Bouyirdane,
a mother of three in the southwestern French
city of Pau.
The phone then caught fire and the back blew
off. Her partner quickly extinguished it.
142
143
144
Bouyirdane said she bought the phone new last

June on a website offering discounts.
The South Korean company recently recalled
millions of its Galaxy Note 7 smartphones
globally because of a problem that caused the
batteries to overheat and catch fire.
William Stofega, a mobile analyst for IDC, said
the incident in France was most likely an isolated
one, noting that the phone has been on the
market for several months now and this is the
first report of a battery fire that hes aware of.
These reports tend to cluster, he said.
He added that problems involving lithium-ion
batteries used in not just smartphones, but also
laptop computers, have been around for years
and theres no easy fix for them. Manufacturing
defects or even a small amount of damage can
cause a short circuit, resulting in an overheated
battery and potentially a fire.
Samsung did not immediately respond to an
email from the AP seeking comments following
the latest incident.
