As expected, Apple took the wraps off its upcoming Apple Watch on March 9, showing off the smartwatches that will start at $349 for a Sport version. Apple also finally released pricing details on its luxury Watch Edition, which begin at a cool $10,000 for a Watch in 18-karat gold.
There was more at the Apple event, including the unveiling of the all-new, re-engineered MacBook, which is thinner, lighter and has longer battery life than previous versions. Prices for the latest MacBooks start at $1,299. Both the Watch and MacBook details came at Apple's "Spring Forward" event.
Apple recently filed a U.S. patent application for a special, ultra-thin hydrophobic coating that when applied to electronic components would protect them from water damage if sprayed or submerged. Apple may be experimenting with such a process to use in its iPhones, iPads and other devices to help protect them from spills and accidental drops into puddles, sinks and other water hazards. But, at this point, it's not certain how Apple plans to apply the research.
Hackers from Vietnam and Canada have been arrested for their parts in what the U.S. Department of Justice is calling one of the worst data breaches in U.S. history. The indictments, which were unsealed by the U.S. Attorney's Office in Atlanta on March 6, charge Viet Quoc Nguyen and Giang Hoang Vu from Vietnam and Canadian David-Manuel Santos Da Silva with having broken into eight email service providers and using the stolen data to earn millions of dollars.

Globetrotter Priyanka Chopra is currently in California enjoying some downtime with friends. After spending the weekend with her family and nieces, the actress came in the news when she was seen with Hollywood pop sensation Nick Jonas at the LA Dodgers game on May 27. The video of the two entering the stadium together to watch the baseball match has left the fans of both celebrities curious.
A fresh set of pictures were shared by Nick Jonas on his Instagram stories where he was seen next to Priyanka Chopra and couple of friends on a yacht. Nick and his close friends Glen Powell, Greg Garbowsky, Wilmer Valderrama and Chord Overstreet joined them on the yacht. Priyanka is seen sitting close to Nick Jonas and now, this has sparked fresh speculation of them dating.
This is not the first time that Priyanka Chopra has been linked to Nick Jonas. She took the internet by storm when she made her debut at the MET Gala 2017 donning a trench coat dress with a long train. As she was representing Ralph Lauren, she was accompanied by another Ralph Lauren collaborator, Nick. Soon, everyone noticed the two shared quite shared a good camaraderie on the red carpet and at the after-party. This gave the gossip mills to talk about how they could be dating.
On the work front, Priyanka Chopra already has two Hollywood projects- A Kid Like Jake and Isn’t It Romantic. She will be soon returning to India to kickstart Ali Abbas Zafar’s Bharat alongside Salman Khan and Disha Patani.
The strategy: "Delay and Enrich"
It is traditional Iranian statecraft to give little and hope to get a lot. So Iranians came into these negotiations with some rather extraordinary demands, particularly [that] their right to uranium enrichment be officially recognized--which is impossible, given the fact that the enrichment stands in violation of Security Council resolutions and the International Atomic Energy Agency's ( IAEA) board of governor's injunctions. The United States and the other powers just could not get the Iranians to abandon that demand and their demand for substantial sanctions relief in exchange for discussing the disposition of their uranium enriched to 20 percent.
The United Nations' six Security Council resolutions have asked Iran to suspend all enrichment and reprocessing activities, have asked Iran to come to terms with the IAEA regarding previous or ongoing weaponization activities, and to clarify all ambiguities regarding its nuclear program. At this point, Iran has not discharged those obligations, [which] go back to 2006. So for some six years, Iran has rebuffed those demands from the international community. In these particular talks that have just taken place, the talks focused more specifically on this 20 percent enrichment. The world powers asked Iran to stop producing 20 percent enriched uranium [which can more easily be converted to weapons grade uranium], to ship out the existing supplies of 20 percent enriched uranium, and to shut down the Fordow underground facility, which is being used to enrich uranium to the 20 percent level. Iran rejected those requests.
So far, the negotiations seems to be going according to a certain plan: Call it "Delay and Enrich." The Iranians haven't stopped enriching uranium during these months of negotiations. It would be fair to say, in fact, that the negotiations represent a crucial component of their enrichment strategy.
Is there any chance Jim Harbaugh leaves Michigan for the Rams?
The Los Angeles Rams have started the professional edition coaching carousel today by firing head coach Jeff Fisher. With a vacancy now open in the National Football League, we are bound to hear a few names from the college coaching fraternity have their names connected to a few rumors here and there. Once coach already having his name in the conversation to some degree is Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh.
The Harbaugh to the NFL topic picked up some steam in the last few days thanks to an interview with Albert Breer of Monday Morning Quarterback with Colin Cowherd on Friday. After an interview on the radio show, Cowherd shared a tidbit from Breer that was not aired live. Cowherd claimed Breer said a rumor about Harbaugh coaching the Rams was “a very real thing.” Of course, that is not much to go on. I can just as easily start a rumor that Bon Jovi is in the next Star Wars film, and while there may be no truth to it, the rumor itself is very real. So what does the whole “Harbaugh to Rams” rumor being “a real thing” mean, exactly?
Well, for starters, let’s also consider the other two names Cowherd resorted to attaching to the Rams discussion; Jon Gruden and Mike Shanahan. These two names get recycled so often, they have lost all meaning in the coaching rumor world and immediately take away any merit of legitimacy in coaching change discussions they may appear. Harbaugh’s name is already feeling like it will be in that same bunch in the years to come the longer he sticks around at Michigan.
Breer later took to Twitter to say he was merely referring to Harbaugh being a potential target for NFL teams in need of a coach, which is true. Odds are Harbaugh could be contacted given his previous experience in the league with the San Francisco 49ers and his success in a short period of time at Michigan.
As with any rumor right now, there is far more speculation going on than actual facts. Does that mean Harbaugh won’t pack up and leave his alma mater behind for another tour of the NFL? No, because we can never say “never” when it comes to the coaching carousel. But keep in mind Harbaugh is a so-called “Michigan Man” and he is being paid quite handsomely by Michigan (and likely more than he’d make in the NFL). Harbaugh does have a competitive fire, and there is a chance to build something with the Rams for whatever coach comes in to take the job. Will it be Harbaugh? Who knows for sure, but let’s just keep in mind Harbaugh is just the latest college coach to have his name be tied to any number of coaching rumors for as long as he’s coaching, joining the likes of Chip Kelly, Brian Kelly and more.
So hang in there, Michigan fans. This may just be the new norm for the Wolverines, but it is one that comes with success.

If you’re reading this, you clearly use the Internet. And if you use the Internet, you clearly know Google AdSense. It’s pretty much everywhere (even on this site in places). But as much as Google would like you to believe they are serving up ads that users want to click on because they are relevant, these are still ads, and most people do not want to click on them. OneRiot’s new product, RiotWise, has an interesting spin on relevant ads.
You see, RiotWise’s ads are only ads in the sense that someone is paying to place them in a certain highlighted position on the page. But in fact, all of these “ads” are content. And I don’t mean content like the homepage of a website, I mean stories/posts/articles about a particular topic. Just as with Google, these are served up via keywords being searched for. But unlike Google, advertisers aren’t bidding on keywords. Instead, content producers strike a deal with OneRiot to place their content in an emphasized (but clearly labeled) place in their realtime feed.
The reason they would want to do this should be obvious: Clicks-throughs. Any content producer who is likely to use such a program undoubtedly already has a strategy in place to monetize their site. That is quite likely based around the traffic their site receives, and RiotWise’s goal would be to help the content producer increase that traffic. But more importantly, it would be to increase the traffic by sending highly-targeted readers whose intent is to find specific content being displayed on the page, OneRiot CEO Kimbal Musk tell us.
The obvious question is: How can OneRiot be sure this is relevant content and not just a spam blog looking for clicks? As a realtime search engine, OneRiot already devotes a large percentage of its team to spam prevention, OneRiot general manager Tobias Peggs says. And OneRiot’s engine is already doing the hard work of going through millions of pieces of content to determine what is relevant and what isn’t. With RiotWise, it’s just a question of taking the content from the providers who are using the service and pulling it out to highlight it.
So where will it be highlighted? Initially, RiotWise will roll out on OneRiot’s main site. This sponsored content would be housed in a right-hand column, separate from the main realtime feed, as you can see in the picture above. Yes, it looks a lot like AdSense, but it’s content. This aspect of RiotWise will be launching next week.
But the bigger picture for RiotWise is to include this sponsored content in the feeds that OneRiot sends to all of its partners. This means that third-party sites using OneRiot search results will eventually see RiotWise as well. Also, it means that places which pull in one OneRiot feeds, such a some Twitter feeds, will start getting these sponsored results as well.
Musk realizes that it’s important to be delicate when inserting ads into streams. He notes that just as with sponsored results, sponsored items in feed streams will be clearly labeled as such. He also notes that it’s important not to overload users with too many of these sponsored results in that setting. Ideally, OneRiots algorithms would be tailored to serve up just one sponsored result a day that a user would want to click on, he says.
The key to all of this is the realtime aspect of OneRiot. Because people are becoming more and more interested in realtime search, getting access to information that is going on right now, OneRiot has been seeing strong click-through rates on items and big numbers when it comes to users doing multiple searches, we’re told. And OneRiot’s RiotFeeds product, which sends OneRiot results surrounding certain topics over to Twitter has been gaining popularity, and is also seeing big-time click-throughs on its links.
A solution like RiotWise seems like the perfect idea for a new or second-tier blog that feels its content is good, but isn’t getting the exposure that some of the big guys do. As long as the content is good, OneRiot is happy to accept it, and strike a deal with the producer to take some fees on a CPC-basis, the majority of which would then be handed over to OneRiot’s partners that serve up its content.
“This is the way to monetize the real-time web,” Musk says.
As I mentioned above, the plan is to launch RiotWise on OneRiot first as early as Monday of next week. A couple weeks after that, the company hopes to roll out the sponsored results to its partners, letting the money sharing begin.
A month ago, OneRiot raised a new $7 million third round of funding.

Days of Our Lives (DOOL) spoilers has some late breaking casting news to report. According to Daytime Confidential and SOD, Tyler Christopher, who portrays Stefan DiMera on the NBC soap, has taken a temporary leave from the show for personal reasons. According to SOD Tyler left Days suddenly last Thursday, September 13 and his replacement, General Hospital’s Brandon Barash was already filming ad Stefan this week!
Stefan first appeared on canvas earlier this year, when he was introduced as the never-before-seen son of Stefano DiMera (Joseph Mascolo) and Vivian Alamain (Louis Sorel). He’s been nothing but trouble for brother Chad (Billy Flynn) and Abigail (Marci Miller) ever since.
There’s no word yet on exactly how long Tyler will be absent from DOOL, but it will be long enough to warrant at least a temporary replacement. Fan fave Brandon Barash, who most recently portrayed Johnny Zacchara on General Hospital, has assumed the role of Stefan while Tyler is on leave.
Brandon Barash portrayed mobster Johnny Zacchara on General Hospital from 2007-2016 and worked alongside Tyler there, when Tyler portrayed Nikolas Cassadine on the ABC soap. Brandon was formerly married to General Hospital’s Kirsten Storms (Maxie) and the two have a daughter, Harper.
There is no word yet on Brandon’s first airdate as Stefan. But since DOOL films almost six months in advance, it will be a while before he’s seen on canvas. Fans should look for Brandon’s version of Stefan to air sometime in 2019. It will be interesting to watch Brandon’s take on the evil and manipulative Stefan DiMera.
We wish Tyler the best while he’s on leave and look forward to seeing him back! Stay tuned to DOOL and don’t forget to check CDL often for the latest Days of Our Lives spoilers, updates, and news.
Days of Our Lives (DOOL) Spoilers: General Hospital’s Rebecca Herbst Headed to Salem – Contract Negotiations Go Downhill at GH?
Data compiled by the European Commission, the UN and local activists shows that in the past year Israeli authorities demolished 22 water cisterns and 37 residential and agricultural structures funded by EU member states.
They have also issued demolition orders and "stop-work" orders against a long list of other EU-funded schemes, including: 14 water cisterns; 34 water sanitation facilities; eight solar energy schemes; two schools and a medical centre.
In one example on 13 February, Israeli bulldozers damaged Polish-funded repair work to an ancient well in the "illegal" Palestinian village of El Rahawia in the West Bank at the same time as flattening the village itself and making 83 people homeless.
In another case on 23 April, the Israeli army destroyed two French-built Palestinian wells in the Hebron area prompting a public complaint by the French foreign ministry.
The commission estimates that Israel smashed up €49-million-worth of EU-funded projects in total in the 2001 to 2011 period.
EU foreign ministers meeting in Brussels on Monday (14 May) are set to agree a three-page-long statement detailing complaints about displacements in the West Bank.
But Israeli-friendly member states - chiefly Italy and the Netherlands - have quashed suggestions by EU embassies in the region to impose penalties, such as blocking imports of Israeli-settler-made products or an EU visa ban on settler radicals.
The destruction of EU-funded projects is the tip of the iceberg.
According to the UN-linked NGO, the Displacement Working Group, Israel demolished 267 Palestinian structures in East Jerusalem and in the West Bank in the first four months of this year. It demolished 622 last year.
At the same time, it has legalised some 7,500 new housing units for Jewish settlers, while giving free rein to violent attacks by settlers against natives.
"The highest price is paid by vulnerable men, women, and children whose rights are violated as they are deprived of water," Ayman Rabi, from local NGO the Palestinian Hydrology Group, noted.
Israel occupied East Jerusalem and the West Bank after a war against neighbouring Arab states in 1967.
Its step-by-step resource-gobbling has seen the Palestinian population in the occupied Jordan Valley, for instance, go down from between 200,000 and 320,000 to 56,000 today. At the same time the Jewish population has gone up from 1,200 to 310,000.
Israeli soldiers earlier drove out hundreds of thousands of Palestinians in 1948. The refugees and their descendants still live in camps in Lebanon, Jordan and Syria and are forbidden from going home.
The Palestinians mark the 1948 events under the name "nakba" or "catastrophe" each 15 May. Last year, Israeli soldiers killed at least 14 of them when groups marched in protest to the Israeli border.
A Sheffield pensioner has complained that the council sound system used for the Remembrance Day service at Barkers Pool needs replacing.
Peter Holmes, 80, who lives in Birley Rise said: “People couldn’t see anything properly and they couldn’t hear anything properly.
“The young lady who was singing had a beautiful voice and she sounded lovely and everyone clapped.
Mr Holmes first started going to the Remembrance Day service in when he was five years old, with his father on the tram. His father also served in WW1 in France.
Peter added: “Last year it wasn’t very clever either and everybody was complaining.
“I’ve got a friend who was in the Duke of Wellington Regiment and he said wouldn’t you think that a town like Sheffield would have something better than what they have at the minute?
Sheffield City Council have said that they will be looking into this matter to see if any improvements can be made.
Kate Sheldon, member support and civic manager said: “The remembrance service is extremely well attended, and we understand that open-air conditions can make it difficult for everyone to hear the service clearly at all times.
“The sound system used at the Remembrance Day service was hired from a company who have the supported the remembrance service and other council events for a number of years.
“There was a sound problem for a short period of time when Rebecca Lambert was performing, but this was resolved as quickly as possible.
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- A former top federal government official and an influential broadcaster will be speaking on the Indiana University campus in Bloomington as part of the 40th anniversary celebration at the School of Public and Environmental Affairs. Both speeches are free and open to the public.
"This year we are marking the 40th anniversary of the founding of SPEA in 1972, but this is much more than a celebration of our past," said SPEA Dean John D. Graham. "These speakers share in common an ability to describe for our students and the entire campus community the forces that will shape the future of our nation and our world."
Speakers will be John Fernandez, a former Bloomington mayor and U.S. Commerce Department official, on Oct. 2; and Philip LeBeau, correspondent for NBC News and CNBC, on Oct. 4.
Fernandez has devoted his career to development, serving as the U.S. Department of Commerce's assistant secretary for economic development for three years before his resignation in February. You can read more about his years with the federal government on the Commerce Department website.
A graduate of SPEA and a member of the School's Distinguished Alumni Council, Fernandez was mayor of Bloomington from 1995 to 2003 and is credited with playing a key role in the revitalization of Bloomington's now thriving downtown. He is now partner and innovation strategy specialist with SNR Denton in Washington, D.C.
"John Fernandez will be speaking about his experience in the public and private sectors and urban and rural economic development from a regional perspective," said SPEA professor Barry Rubin, who is coordinating the event. Fernandez will speak at 4 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 2, in PV169 on SPEA's first floor.
LeBeau, a Chicago-based correspondent, is considered the most influential broadcast journalist covering the auto and aviation industries. He routinely breaks news about both industries in his regular reports on CNBC and through his widely followed blog, "Behind the Wheel," on the CNBC website.
LeBeau has reported one-hour documentaries for CNBC including "Dreamliner: Inside the World's Most Anticipated Airplane," "Ford: Rebuilding an American Icon" and "Saving General Motors." LeBeau will speak about the trends influencing the future of the two key industries at 9:30 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 4, in PV161 on SPEA's first floor.
Fernandez and LeBeau have also agreed to meet with SPEA students in the classroom and more casual settings.
SPEA is a world leader in public and environmental affairs and is the largest school of public administration and public policy in the United States. In the 2012 "Best Graduate Schools" by U.S. News and World Report, SPEA ranks second and is the nation's highest-ranked professional graduate program in public affairs at a public institution. Four of its specialty programs are ranked in the top-five listings. SPEA's doctoral programs in public affairs and public policy are ranked by the National Academy of Science as the best in the country.
There are often large revisions to prior months’ data. A large fall from an upward revision can leave us in a much better place than a small fall from a downward revision. If the new information in the report is that things were much worse last month than we had thought, we have limited grounds to celebrate when we say that they have not worsened too much further in the current month.
The data show that November’s manufacturing output is down 1.4 percent from October’s level, which was in turn revised down by 0.5 percent from the previously reported level. Over the last three months, manufacturing output has fallen at a 17.8 percent annual rate. That is not good news.
No, it sure doesn’t sound like good news to me. On the other hand, if we let GM go under we’ll all be pining away for the days of a mere 17.8% decline.

To improve social mobility in the workplace, HR teams are trying to widen access to those from all socioeconomic backgrounds – regardless of educational attainment, financial security and social status – by removing hiring practices that discriminate against them.
Accounting firm Grant Thornton, for example, has gone to great lengths to diversify its workforce, including removing academic entry requirements for its entry-level trainee schemes.
However, the most privileged people in society continue to claim the lion’s share of the best jobs, including in the legal, military, medical and journalism professions, according to the education charity Sutton Trust. For example, 82% of barristers in the UK went to Oxbridge.
