Global Sectionalizers Market to Gain from Increasing Adoption of Three Phase Systems, finds Fact.MR
The global sectionalizers market is foreseen to see expansion in the next few years as the need for continuous power supply and electricity transmission increases in the manufacturing industry and residential sector.
Rockville, MD, Nov. 23, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The global sectionalizers market is projected to create lucrative growth opportunities in the near future due to the swelling need for uninterrupted transmission of power in the commercial as well as residential sector. The manufacturing industry in particular could show massive demand for sectionalizers because of higher adoption compared to that of isolators. Besides manufacturing, sectionalizers could be highly demanded in the food and beverage and healthcare industries.

Global Aerospace and Defense Industry Report 2018 with Insights into the Airbus / Boeing Rivalry
Dublin, Nov. 23, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Analyzing the Global Aerospace and Defense Industry 2018" report has been added to *ResearchAndMarkets.com's* offering.This report on Analyzing the Global Aerospace and Defense Industry 2018 is precisely aimed at bringing an understanding of this wide and vast industry which at times enjoys the distinction of being one of the few recession proof industries.The year 2017 witnessed the recovery of the global aerospace and defense industry worldwide, though the industry still lagged behind other industries in terms of the global GDP (gross domestic product). Revenues of the global aerospace and defense industry crossed US$686 billion by the end of 2017, though the overall growth of the sector was still weaker as compared to 2016. This decline the industry underwent was primarily due to the slowdown of the delivery of twin-aisle aircraft in the United States. While the commercial aerospace sector in Europe experienced strong growth, the same sector in the United States remained weak. Europe also saw a higher number of aircraft deliveries during 2017 as compared to the US.
Meanwhile, the global defense industry recorded a jump of 4% as worldwide governments increased their spending on defense. By the end of 2017, the global defense industry posted revenues of more than US$ 362 billion. The US was the biggest contributor to this as 2017 saw the US Department of Defense increase it's funding for the defense sector. Compared to the US, the defense sector in Europe witnessed a growth of 2.5% in 2017. The European defense sector grew due to the pressure from the present US administration on NATO countries for increasing their expenditure on the military.
The global aerospace and defense industry also witnessed an improvement in the operating margins in 2017 as compared to 2016. This improvement was also led by the US aerospace and defense industry, which experienced a growth of nearly 13%. The global industry further got a boost from the incredibly strong core operating earnings at The Boeing Company.

Alaska gives USA Arctic advantage in military rivalry with Russia
Washington pretends that the melting of the Arctic ice opens up new horizons for USA's military competition with Russia and China. However, the United States is not ready to pass a milestone like this. The United States could not help but notice Russia's growing military presence in the Arctic. Given the fact that the Americans take a strategic position in the region by controlling the Bering Strait, the prospect to cause even more trouble to Russia looks attractive. "Certainly America's got to up its game in the Arctic. There's no doubt about that. ... It's cited as an area of concern with our national security strategy," US Secretary of Defence Jim Mattis acknowledged during his visit to Alaska in June of 2018. Who aspires to be in the Arctic? The agreement from 1920 divides Arctic waters between the USSR, Norway, Denmark, the USA and Canada into five sectors. The situation in the Arctic is governed by the Arctic Council. Russia owns more than a half of all unexplored reserves of oil and gas in the region. Russia can also quickly launch offshore exploration and production. These interests need protection, and Russia has been protecting them lately quite successfully. China is actively involved in the development of the Arctic as well. Beijing hopes to profit from a shorter route to the Atlantic via the Northern Sea Route than via the Suez Canal. This route has been in use lately in connection with the melting of the Arctic ice. China is a member of the Arctic Council; the country strives for the international status for the region, as with Antarctica.Journalist Dan Lamothe penned an article for Stars and Stripes website, in which he describes his experience of staying in the strategic town of Unalaska in the Aleutian Archipelago of Alaska."Army helicopters began flying in and out of the scraggily wilderness near this fishing town in August, surprising even the mayor," the author wrote. The helicopters were testing new radar sensors, known as the North Warning System. The system ensures navigation over water and landing in mountainous areas. That is all Lamothe had to say about the activities of the Pentagon in the region, let alone the voyage of the USS Harry Truman above the Arctic Circle in October - for the first time since the end of the Cold War. "Russia, on their side of the Arctic in sort of the Northern Sea Route, is investing heavily in commercial infrastructure and in military infrastructure," Lamothe quoted Vice Adm. Linda Fagan, who oversees Coast Guard operations in the Arctic and Pacific. "Russia has more than 40 icebreakers - the U.S. military has two working ones - and stationed more troops in the region," Dam Lamothe also noted in the article. In accordance with the new national defence strategy of the Pentagon, the plan to counter Russia and China in the Arctic stipulates for the deployment of more fighters in Alaska, expansion of military partnerships with northern countries and developing a new class of military icebreaking vessels.Indeed, US Congress has recently approved the financing of the project for the construction of six new polar icebreakers. However, the ships are to enter service only in five or six years. US Air Force plans to deploy two squadrons of advanced F-35A fighter jets in Alaska by 2022 to complement two squadrons of F-22 Raptor jets. "When the wind is blowing at freakin' 30 miles per hour, it's dark 24-7, and it's minus-20 degrees Fahrenheit, and you've got to put your gear in your pack, get out of your rack, get out of your sleeping bag, get outside the tent and go do something - everything is hard," the article quotes Col. John Carroll, the deputy commander of Marine Corps Forces Europe. "The town processes the largest volume of commercial fishing in the United States each year, with the company UniSea operating hotels, bunkhouses and bars there. ... Unalaska ... has struggled with unemployment, alcoholism and bar fights," the author concludes hoping that the arrival of US troops in the area would liven up the town. USA is not an Arctic power First Rank Captain Mikhail Nenashev, chairman of the All-Russian Movement for Fleet Support, told Pravda.Ru, that the United States is not an Arctic state. The USA is involved in the Arctic region only thanks to Alaska. For us, this is not a question of chess - this is a natural habitat. We've been living here for more than a thousand years, and the Arctic has always been a basis of life for us. We need to develop the Arctic region as hard as we can. For Russia, the development of the Arctic region stands for the development of territory - this is not an issue of military rivalry with anyone," Mr. Nenashev told Pravda.Ru.

It's been an eventful ten years for Mazda. The decade opened with not only the trauma of a global recession but also Ford's decision to end a fruitful 30-year partnership.
As a result, Mazda had to contend with survival without access to Ford's resources.
This meant the development of a new family of engines, a new home-grown platform, and a modern infotainment system.
Done. Done. And Done.
Not only has Mazda recovered from the loss of Ford and the recession, the Hiroshima-based carmaker has acquitted itself rather well to the single life.
In the fiscal year that ended in March, Mazda's global sales increased 5%, selling more than 1.6 million units.
In addition, Mazda has positioned itself as the go-to brand for those looking for some driving pleasure. Fortunately, they've delivered that dynamic feel in everything from its iconic MX-5 sports car to the seven-passenger CX-9 family SUV.
*Read more*: The $48,000 Nissan Pathfinder is one of the best family SUVs money can buy — but it has one major flaw.
But the company's biggest success over the past few years is the CX-5 compact crossover. It's Mazda's entrant in what is arguably the hottest segment of the market. The first generation CX-5 debuted in 2012 while an updated second generation arrived for the 2017 model year. Over the first half of 2018, the CX-5 accounted for 49% of the more than 122,000 cars and SUV Mazda sold in the US.
Business Insider had the chance to spend a few days with a 2018 Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring AWD wearing an eye-catching Soul Red Crystal Metallic paint job.
The base CX-5 Sport starts at $24,150 while the top spec all-wheel-drive Grand Touring starts at $30,945. With options and fees, our CX-5 carried an as-tested-price of $34,685.

We favour three 25bp Federal Reserve rate rises in 2019 - ING
"With the Fed funds target range set to end 2018 at 2.25-2.50% the Fed’s monetary policy stance is no longer be described as “accommodative”, but it remains some way off from being restrictive. As such we expect interest rate rises to continue in 2019," note ING analysts.
*Key quotes*
"The US economy will face increasing headwinds as the lagged effects of higher interest rates and a stronger dollar act as a brake on activity. The support from the fiscal stimulus will also gradually fade with the mid-term election results limiting the chances of further tax cuts or spending increases. Then there is the weaker global growth outlook, with Europe and Asia seeing clear signs of slowdown while intensifying trade protectionism could exacerbate the softening trend. Recent equity market weakness underlines these concerns for 2019 growth."
"However, there will be some positives. Wage growth has broken above 3%YoY and we think there is more upside ahead given the tightness of the labour market."
"On balance we think growth will slow in 2019, but inflation will likely persist above target for much of the year ahead. Consequently, we favour three 25bp Federal Reserve rate rises in 2019 versus four in 2018." Reported by FXstreet.com 4 hours ago.

Amazon 'dumbfounded' police in Spain by asking them to intervene in a mass warehouse strike and patrol worker productivity
· *Amazon asked police in Spain to intervene in a mass strike on Friday by enforcing worker productivity inside a Madrid warehouse, according to local reports.*· *Thousands of Amazon workers across Europe went on strike on Black Friday in protest at working conditions at warehouses.*
· *Spanish police were "dumbfounded" by Amazon's request, which they categorically rejected, according to El Confidencial.*
· *Amazon denied the allegation, calling the reports "ludicrous suggestions."*
Amazon asked police in Spain to intervene in a mass strike at a warehouse on the outskirts of Madrid, according to local reports.
Amazon wanted a police presence at the warehouse to ensure that productivity remained high within the fulfilment center, while workers staged their protest outside, according to Spanish newspaper El Confidencial.
A source at Spanish union CCOO, which helped coordinate the strikes, told Business Insider that Amazon "wanted to send the police inside the warehouse to push people to work."
Amazon strongly denied the claims and called it "the worst kind of misinformation."
The dispute erupted as thousands of Amazon workers across Europe staged strikes on Black Friday in protest at warehouse working conditions. Some 1,600 staff walked out in Spain.

Spanish newspaper El Confidencial reported that Amazon met with police officials after the strike was announced. It wanted local officers "to force employees to go to their respective jobs and ensure their performance was identical to that of a normal working day."
Amazon's request "dumbfounded" police, according to El Confidencial. "The request was categorically rejected by the police, who maintained that controlling labour productivity doesn't fall within its powers," a police source said.
Law enforcement officials reportedly emphasised to Amazon that Spanish law protects workers' right to strike. They told the company that police would be present at the strike but would limit themselves to keeping the peace.
Amazon denied that it had asked police to intervene in the strike. A spokeswoman told Business Insider:
"Amazon is a responsible business that puts its customers and associates first. We always work with public authorities, including the police, to ensure the safety of our people and our operations.
"However any suggestion that we have used this relationship in an improper way is categorically wrong. Anyone who understands the way businesses and local authorities work will know that these ludicrous suggestions are the worst kind of misinformation."
Madrid police were unavailable for comment.
This is not the first time Amazon has asked police to intervene in Amazon warehouse protests in Spain, El Confidencial notes. When workers went on strike on Prime Day in July, it said Amazon asked police to guarantee access to workers crossing the picket line and to trucks carrying merchandise. The strikes in July resulted in clashes with police, including some arrests.

Lord Chris Holmes & AIG’s Duperreault to join fireside chats with Premier at Bermuda’s London industry events
HAMILTON, Bermuda, Nov. 23, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The UK’s Chris Holmes, Lord of Richmond MBE, and Bermudian Chief Executive of American International Group, Brian Duperreault, will join Premier David Burt in fireside chats during next week’s multi-industry events in London organised by the Bermuda Business Development Agency (BDA).The conversations are part of a packed two-day agenda at the ME London hotel showcasing the Bermuda market’s range of global industries and expertise. On Tuesday, November 27, a chat moderated by BDA Director and EY Bermuda Partner Jessel Mendes between the Premier and Holmes—a fintech champion in the House of Lords who belongs to several related All-Party Parliamentary Groups—will launch that day’s cross-sector Bermuda Executive Forum. On Wednesday, November 28, a similar discussion between the Premier and Duperreault, moderated by BDA Interim CEO Sean Moran, kicks off a dedicated Bermuda Fintech Forum in the morning, followed by Beyond Convergence in the afternoon, a seminar focused on insurance-linked securities hosted by ILS Bermuda.
“The upcoming events give us an opportunity to meet with stakeholders in the London market and highlight the business benefits of Bermuda,” said the Premier. “It’s a significant opportunity to promote Bermuda’s value to overseas markets and investors and attract new business that can help grow our economy and create jobs.
“I look forward to dynamic discussions with both special guests, Mr. Duperreault and Lord Holmes. We’ll discuss Bermuda’s synergies with London, the legacy and foundation our market affords both established companies and startups, as well as Bermuda’s regulatory leadership and innovative culture, which pioneered a legislative framework around fintech this year.”
Holmes is a former Paralympic swimmer and nine-time Games gold-medal winner who has focused on technology and digital opportunities since entering the House in 2013. He is vice-chair of the Parliamentary Groups on Assistive Technology, Fintech, Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain and the 4th Industrial Revolution. He has also served as a member of House of Lords Select Committees on Artificial Intelligence, Digital Skills, Social Mobility and Financial Exclusion. Notably, Holmes has been supportive of Bermuda’s recent progress in fintech regulation, speaking on Parliamentary Group roundtables and in other national discussions.
Duperreault was appointed President, CEO, and a Director of American International Group, Inc (AIG) in May 2017. Previously, he was Chairman and CEO of Bermuda’s Hamilton Insurance Group, which he established in 2013. He spent 30 years working in Bermuda and the United States in senior executive roles at Marsh & McLennan Companies, ACE, and AIG, where he started his career.
Tuesday’s complimentary full-day forum marks the fourth such BDA event, following successful multi-sector summits in London a year ago, in New York this spring—at which Duperreault was keynote speaker—and in Miami last month. Each drew impressive turnouts of between 200 and 300 industry professionals, and proved a catalyst for on-site meetings, new-business inquiries, and Bermuda incorporations.
Along with Holmes and Duperreault, next week’s events will also feature Euan Davis, of the Center for the Future of Work Europe at Cognizant Technology Solutions. Davis, the lunchtime keynote at Tuesday’s forum, will examine how work is changing as new technologies, business practices and workers emerge over the next decade.
“We’re pleased to be heading back to London for our final forum of the year,” said the BDA’s Moran. “Not only do we have an expert line-up of speakers representing the full range of Bermuda’s established industries, but we are equally pleased to highlight the emerging business we have begun to usher in. A lot has happened in the fintech space in 2018 and we intend to put the spotlight on those developments.
“Our forums provide us an excellent opportunity to encourage investment by demonstrating what makes Bermuda unique and sets us apart from other jurisdictions,” Moran added. “It’s significant to come full circle and reconnect with London business leaders, while also reaching out to new companies and individuals looking to enter the Bermuda market.”
Some 50 senior industry representatives will join Bermuda government and regulatory leaders at next week’s events to showcase the island as a financial centre of excellence. Ten presentations and panel discussions will highlight investment and business opportunities available in Bermuda, while underscoring synergies shared by the Bermuda and London markets.
Experts will cover the gamut of Bermuda’s industries, including re/insurance, asset management, high-net-worth services, family offices, long-term life & annuity insurance, captive insurance, bio-med, shipping, ILS, fintech and virtual assets business.
The Bermuda Tourism Authority (BTA) will partner with the BDA on a networking reception that concludes the event.
