As President Trump and his attorney Rudy Giuliani mounted a pressure campaign on Ukraine to manufacture dirt on Democratic frontrunner Joe Biden, they may have received help along the way.
But it's not an outside fixer, but rather the U.S. State Department. Accounts differ, but the agency appears to have played a crucial role in connecting Giuliani with an aide of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
For his part, Giuliani has given the State Department a bear hug, claiming variously that the agency instructed him to go on a "mission" for the U.S. and that it had set up his meeting with the Zelensky aide. The Washington Post reported that U.S. diplomats stationed in Kyiv "expressed concerns" about the meetings, in part because it was unclear if Giuliani was speaking as a private citizen or as a representative of the State Department.
The State Department's apparent involvement in the scandal focuses on Kurt Volker, a former U.S. ambassador to NATO who was appointed special representative for Ukraine by then-Secretary of State Rex Tillerson in July 2017.
Giuliani met with top Zelensky foreign policy aide Andriy Yermak on Aug. 3 in a meeting that was facilitated by Volker. Giuliani reportedly debriefed State Department officials afterwards.
The question is, how deep did State get in Giuliani's game?
The answer to that question is, in part, the focus of an inquiry by the House Intelligence, Oversight, and Foreign Affairs Committee's into Giuliani's pressure campaign to extract dirt on Biden. It goes to the heart of what makes these allegations against President Trump different and what, in the words of one former Defense Department official, has broken new ground in U.S. political history: the use of the power of U.S. foreign policy to beat down a political opponent.
Anders Aslund, a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council and longtime Ukraine-watcher, told TPM that "the request came from Ukraine because they understood that the person they needed to speak with was" Giuliani.
"Of course, it's completely inappropriate," Aslund said. "This was extortion."
The State Department issued a statement on the matter Sept. 9, saying that Giuliani "does not speak on behalf of the U.S. Government."
"We would refer you to Mr. Giuliani for information about the content of Mr. Giuliani's conversations with Ukrainian officials," the statement read.
In one telling, offered by Yermak himself, he approached Volker for an introduction to Giuliani as part of a bid to "clarify" Zelensky's position after the former New York City mayor criticized him in May.
Giuliani had cancelled a planned mission to Kyiv in which he intended to dig up dirt on Biden and find information that would exonerate Paul Manafort, the Trump campaign chairman whose financial misdeeds eventually landed him in prison.
At the time of the cancellation, Giuliani pinned his decision on the fact that Zelensky was "in hands of avowed enemies of Pres Trump. Useless meeting," reported Politico, citing a text from the former mayor.
But in a Monday Russian-language interview with the Ukrainian press, Yermak said that Giuliani's statement about "enemies" in Zelensky's team led him to reach out.
"I was acquainted with Kurt Volker at that time, and so I told him about my idea to speak with Giuliani, in order to clarify the situation," Yermak said. "He approved of the idea, and offered to introduce me."
Yermak added that "Giuliani and I spoke over the phone, and after this met personally in Madrid."
"[Giuliani] remarked, that for him it was important to hear that the new Ukrainian authorities would adhere to principles of openness and lawfulness, that we would fight corruption, and place a goal for ourselves of making Ukraine successful," Yermak added.
This is the Madrid meeting on Aug. 3 where Giuliani reportedly pushed for Kyiv to open investigations into debunked allegations that Biden helped quash a criminal investigation into his son.
Steven Pifer, a former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, told TPM that Giuliani's direct access to Trump would make him valuable.
"I understand if you get that request, given Giuliani's position, it's pretty hard to say no," he said. "But what Giuliani is doing, I think, conflicts with what we're trying to do with Ukraine, he's party to something to accomplish the President's re-election" – not the State Department's mission.
"It sends conflicting messages to the Ukrainians," he added.

Q: Excel Formula: IF(OR(AND( with Array I'm using an Excel sheet to validate data. It's a relatively simple validation on the amount paid vs. lowest available cost. Based on certain logic a code is attached to each record to explain why the lowest available cost was not used, etc.
In my worksheet column I represents the amount paid, J the lowest available cost, and K the highest known cost for the item/service. Column Q contains the code (e.g. CC, LL, BC, and so forth).
This is the formula I am currently using:
=IF(OR(AND(J2=I2,H2<>"ZZ",Q2="LL"),AND(J2=I2,H2<>"ZZ",Q2="EX"),AND(J2=I2,H2<>"ZZ",Q2="ER"),AND(J2=I2,H2<>"ZZ",Q2="EV"),AND(J2=I2,H2<>"ZZ",Q2="CD"),AND(J2<I2,H2<>"ZZ",Q2={"BB","BC","CC","CD","DD","FF","QQ","RR","XA","XC"})),"Good","Error")

The last portion does not work consistently:
AND(J2<I2,H2<>"ZZ",Q2={"BB","BC","CC","CD","DD","FF","QQ","RR","XA","XC"})
For example, I have a line in which J2 is less than I2 and Q2 = RR and results in "Error" when it should really be "Good".
Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

A: wrap the array part in an OR():
AND(J2<I2,H2<>"ZZ",OR(Q2={"BB","BC","CC","CD","DD","FF","QQ","RR","XA","XC"}))

Remember the Gumpert Apollo? While the utterly bonkers Apollo Intensa Emozione appears to be the car that rose from its ashes, there's another to consider. The is the Roland Gumpert Nathalie, a methanol-powered sports car from the man behind the original Apollo.
It's a bold claim given no one else is shouting about it yet, but he's confident the Nathalie—an 800hp, 300kph, 0-100-in-2.5sec sports car—might bring the idea to their attention.
Like all tech, he hopes an expensive tech showcase for the early adopters is how to plant the seed in everyone's head. Thus the Nathalie will cost half a million euros (around P29.37 million), and if you buy one, he promises to personally arrange the fitment of a methanol pump in your hometown so that you can actually drive the thing.
"If you would sign a contract today, I will guarantee a fuel station in your town will have methanol," Gumpert says. "I will negotiate very easily for one of the existing pumps to be turned to methanol." If he sells all 500 units of the Nathalie he plans to make, that's at least some of the infrastructure sorted, huh?
While his old Apollo was a mainstay at the Nordschleife—and a 'Ring record holder before it was cool—the Nathalie's nous will instead be proved in actual motorsport. Gumpert says it'll be eligible to take part in the Electric Production Car Series, currently populated only by Teslas, but with Audi and Porsche among the names touted to join.
What about Pikes Peak, where Volkswagen gave electric cars a bit of a watershed moment with the I.D. R's record-breaking time in 2018? "It's always a question of budget for the publicity! If someone gives me the order and the budget, then I will be in Pikes Peak tomorrow," Gumpert says.
Reckon he's onto something? Or are you more taken by the unashamedly old-school, V12 powered Apollo IE?


Israel, Jordan, Palestinians Strike Water-Sharing Deal : The Two-Way Under the agreement, Jordan would build a desalination plant and a pipeline would be built from the Gulf of Aqaba to the Dead Sea.
The Gulf of Aqaba, near the Jordanian city of the same name. Under a new agreement, Jordan would build a desalination plant near here.
Israel, Jordan and the Palestinians have agreed to a water-sharing pact that would see the construction of a desalination plant on the Gulf of Aqaba on the Red Sea and bring "a long-awaited Red Sea-Dead Sea pipeline one step closer to completion," according to Reuters.
The plant would be built on the Jordanian side of the Gulf and the resulting potable water would be shared between Jordan and Israel.
Alexander McPhail, the lead water and sanitation specialist in the World Bank's Water Practice division, tells The Jerusalem Post Monday that in return, "Israel will increase the annual releases of water from Lake Kinneret to Jordan and will also increase its sales of water to the Palestinian Authority."
"'It's like a swap,' McPhail told the Post, regarding the Israeli and Jordan portions of the agreement. 'Israel needs water in the south because they want to settle that part of their country. Jordan needs more water in the North.'"
Israel's Regional Development Minister Silvan Shalom said in a statement that the pact includes building a 112-mile pipeline northward from Aqaba to the Dead Sea at an estimated cost of $300 million to $400 million.
"That study examined various plans to halt the shrinking of the Dead Sea, whose restorative powers have attracted visitors since biblical times. The lowest place on Earth has lost a third of its surface area from drought, agricultural diversion and pumping to extract minerals for fertilizers."
"'This is a breakthrough after years of difficulty and struggle,' Shalom said on Army Radio of a pipeline he estimated will take three years to build to the benefit of each side economically and environmentally."

Well, what a hoot! From start to finish this show was an absolute rollercoaster of mayhem, laughter and double-entendres! The Rocky Horror Show – more of a phenomenon now since it first braced the theatres nearly 50 years ago (since 1973)- has become the biggest cult musical of all time. Richard 0'Brien's wacky story of how two squeaky clean college kids – Brad and his fiancée Janet, when by a twist of fate, find their way into a creepy mansion whilst on their way to visit their former college professor, meet the charismatic Dr Frank 'n' Furter and change their lives forever, has taken on a new life of its own. I have seen the show a couple of times and thought it's time I educated my 17-year-old son into the world of "The Mind Warp" and to the craziness that is the Rocky Horror Show. ...

The Rocky Horror Show – Edinburgh King's Theatre
Sexy, Camp and a real cult classic. Rocky horror has been entertaining us musical weirdos since 1973 and to this day has yet to lose its charm and fun. Before the show even begins, you'll find yourself surrounded by its fans decked out in suspenders, corsets, feather bowers and tinier shorts than you could have mentally prepared yourself for. Rocky Horror is a sci-fi rock musical all about giving into your own sexual desires and discovering one's self, but with aliens! These are not the green little Martians we televise but a group of human looking aliens from the distant planet of Transexual Transylvania. They are sexy, strange and at times dangerous.

The Rocky Horror Show – Palace Theatre
Since the original show was spawned in 1973 the 'Rocky Horror Show' has gained generations of theatregoers who have been seduced by its mix of horror-comedy and science-fiction script, backed with some iconic songs such as 'The Time Warp' whilst dressed up in glittering corsets and eye-catching lingerie has become an institution that encourages glamour, silliness and having a damn good time. It is hard to believe that this show is nearly half a century old as it has absolutely no signs of ageing as it continues to entice the old and the youth of today through its doors with its bright, bold and extremely risqué script that bursts into life from the beginning through to the finale. I remember my first viewing as a teenager in the 1980's with my mum and grandmother and I was mortified...

The Rocky Horror Show – Blackpool Winter Gardens
The theatre is packed full of eager visitors in corsets and gold hats, ready for the madness to ensue. The Rocky Horror Show has its fanbase hooked, and now, I finally understand why. The cult-classic hit takes hints of sci-fi, gothic horror and rock n' roll to create an utterly fantastical show. With such a reputation, the stage production has a lot to live up to. An all-American couple stumble upon a castle inhabited by a multitude of weird and wild characters. Their innocence is lost as they succumb to the allure of the sensual scientist, Frank N Furter, and the characters sing and dance their way through a naughty, frivolous romp. In this production, the high heels of Frank N Furter are filled by Stephen Webb (Jersey Boys), who struts onto the stage with sass and a smirk. Web...

"Mucky mouths" were much in evidence on Monday night, as the infamous Rocky Horror Show hit the Hull New Theatre stage, running. Suspenders, stockings, glitter and general naughtiness were much in evidence. But that's enough about the audience … This legendary show - born in 1973 - comes to the city as part of a worldwide tour. It tells the story of two innocent college students, Brad (Ore Oduba) and fiancée Janet (Haley Flaherty), whose car breaks down outside a creepy mansion - a mansion they enter to try to find a telephone on which to ring for help. The creepy mansion is home to the even creepier Dr Frank N Furter (Stephen Webb). Furter, strutting around in stockings and suspenders, has total control over his staff - two of whom turn out to be instrumental in his eventu...

Let the Party and the Sounds Rock On! With all vim, vigour and verve of a lady half her age "The Rocky Horror Show" rocks up horrifically at the Alexandra Theatre and, with a well aimed stiletto, crashes through the stage door and struts her sassy chassis before the goggle-eyed, costume-clad, schlock-worshipping clan of the Rocky fans like the mothership returning home laden with every wicked vice and indecent indulgence your little earthling mind could dream of. Since it slithered from Richard O'Brien's unfettered imagination somewhere back in the early seventies "Rocky" has evolved, expanded, regenerated and reinvented itself time and time again like an indestructible life form from those beloved 50's movies it seeks to parody and continues to prove itself unabashedly brash, unash...

The Rocky Horror Show – Opera House
If ever a show epitomised how happy people are to be back in theatres, it's this one. You can't move for corsets, sequins and high heels. And that's just the men. For those unfamiliar with the nature of the show, perhaps having no more than a vague recollection of the 1975 film, it's like being taken on a joyride on a high-powered motorbike and has an atmosphere more akin to a rock gig than a theatre show. The cheering and enthusiastic audience participation is in full throttle from the moment the strains of 'Science Fiction Double Feature' start and the curtain twitches open. It's a fantastic atmosphere for our cast to bounce off, which they do with gusto. Philip Franks, in a role a billion miles away from his stuffy Darling Bud of May character, is outstanding as the Narrator, ...

Rick Lowe of Project Row Houses in Houston.
Southern Living has come out with its 2015 list of 50 people changing the South, and Houston is well-represented, with four entrepreneurs, including the only woman in Texas on the list. These folks — from writers to chefs to anthropologists to musicians — are "shaping the South with community-minded ideas and projects," according to the magazine.
These folks are "shaping the South with community-minded ideas and projects," according to the magazine.
Houston's Bobby Heugel and his Clumsy Butcher caught Southern Living's attention for putting "Texas cocktails on the map when he opened Anvil Bar & Refuge in 2009." Look out for his site (coming soon) that offers bartenders candid advice about opening a bar. There are also talks for new locales and a cocktail book in 2015.
Artist Rick Lowe secured a spot on the list for his Project Row Houses in Houston, which transformed 22 shotgun houses in the city's Third Ward. Described as part art project, part community revitalization, this program includes "arts education, organic gardening programs, and partnerships with local architects and artists to preserve one of the city's oldest African-American neighborhoods." Lowe also was the Nasher Sculpture Center's first artist-in-residence and a recent recipient of the MacArthur Genius Grant.
Bailey Quin of Houston — the lone Texas gal on this list — received praise for perfecting the home boutique. Biscuit Home, which also is a design studio with its own bedding line, has grown from 1,200 to 10,000 square feet in two years. Quin, who formerly focused on bespoke bed linens, will introduce pajamas and quilts to her mix in 2015.
PJ Stoops returned to Texas in 2006, after living in France and Thailand, and forever changed the way his home state serves seafood. The go-to guy for fresh fish for top Houston restaurants such as Reef and Feast, Stoops was bothered by the tons of bycatch that got thrown back into the ocean — dead or alive — and convinced H-Town chefs to incorporate it into their dishes. This spring, Stoops, a chef by training, is expected to open his first restaurant, Foreign Correspondents, which is a tribute to the foods he cooked and loved while living in Thailand.
In Dallas/Fort Worth, Malcolm Gage and Cordey Lash of Ophelia's Soul Food get the area's only nod. Their restaurant at Collin Creek Mall in Plano provides hearty food without all of the excess fat and calories, making us rethink food-court dining. Winners of Food Network's Food Court Wars, the team uses fresh ingredients and lighter substitutes for health-conscious renditions of Southern classics such as chicken and waffles, peach cobbler, and fried fish dishes. Goals for the guys are to open additional Ophelia's outposts and publish a cookbook.
Ryan Butler and Ben Runkle of Salt & Time Butcher out of Austin also landed on the list. Specialty butcher shops are having a moment, SL notes, but these guys take it a step further, with basic butchery, curing and sausage-making classes. Starting this month, fans can sign up to get monthly provisions delivered right to their doorsteps. Now that's a subscription box we fully support.
Also from Austin, former SL editor Taylor Bruce made the list for his Wildsam Field Guide series. The pocket-size travel guides — so far for Nashville, Austin, San Francisco, Detroit and New Orleans — are told through the people who call these places home. He will publish at least four more this year — for Brooklyn, Charleston, San Antonio and Los Angeles — as well as launch a new website.

Don't get this one. Since they came with clip skimming, I thought: this is really it. As good as it gets. Explain.
Tried scrolling timeline with FCP Hacks? On every FCP X wishlist. Skim and scroll and vomit on your keyboard. There are reasons why some features have never been published.
These are all things that are easy in other editors... Use what works for you though - there's plusses and minuses to any system. I can see why FCPX is popular amongst certain editors - it fits certain types of work and jobs better than others. For the right job, it's very very good. For the wrong job, it's annoying as all hell.
The right jobs would be those with a close deadline or those you don't want to spend too much time for. Like in I don't want it perfect, I want it good, and I want it monday.

I mean just scrubbing in the... what do FCPX call it? Event viewer? What would be a bin in Avid. But fine scrubbing across the board is harder.
Yeah - although that's not a great selling point for a piece of software, is it? :-P FCPX: 'For when good enough is good enough'.

I have to say that I noticed that a lot of Youtubers have been switching to FCPX as well, thanks to it's overall speed and workflow. (MKDHD (using RED Weapon), Jonathan Morrison (using FS7)).
It's just a more optimised bit of software compared to Premiere and I love it for that.
Also, if you where to pixel peep, the H.264 exports on FCPX definitely look better than Premiere's. So it's superior there as well.
If only it would offer support for H.265 file editing.

You must have been using it wrongly or working on a much too slow machine to say that. In 10.0.1, the demo version just crashed once you used the skimmer. I seriously considered Adobe CS then, who lowered their price to fantastic 1000 € for the converts. Saw someone cut with 10.0.6 a year later on a set and gave FCP X another try by buying it for 279 €, once and for all. (That it was stable enough by then and) The skimmer convinced me. If by across the board you mean searching horizontally, vertically and diagonally in list view or thumbnail view: YES! That worked flawlessly.
What is the skimmer? It's a content-sensitive tool that makes the mouse-pointer/cursor a very fast playhead that scratches clips (means over a clip the mouse becomes the skimmer and a thumbnail in the browser becomes a miniature timeline) by gestures alone - no need to click or drag. And in the timeline, as mentioned, you can toggle it so it solo-plays video and audio clips when you hover above them directly. This is as close to actual mind-reading as one can imagine in 2016.
It allows you to find things very quickly. If combined with the minimal sorting options in the browser every adult NLE provides (date of recording, clip name, duration, ascending, descending, this kind of "metadata") you can find every shot within seconds, just from visual or aural memory. And without clicking.
Enter the advocatus diaboli. In his book In The Blink Of An Eye Walter Murch criticizes scrubbing with the playhead or hitting "LL". Because you didn't see every frame anymore. Fast forward on a Steenbeck or Moviola was different. He said, a cutter could subconsciously remember frames he saw at double speed, but the NLEs (by this he referred to the AVID of course) would just skip them.
And the skimmer is a mighty skipper. But that only matters if you are not aware of the downsides. Because you can revert to an ordinary playhead that displays real time ("s" is the command to kill the skimmer). Or you can just skim less hectically. Many FCP X users toggle off skimming for fine scrubbing in the timeline (whereas they use it's speed to search for things in the browser).
Arguably, it is.
FCP X is the first editing software to structure narrational content. Whereas still being an NLE by definition, the hierarchy of the straightforward story (magnetic and favoring append-at-end) and child-clips connected to it for a reason causes the editor to think in linear sequences. This speeds up the process tremendously. Other NLEs have fully independent tracks, there is no way to tell clips how they relate to each other (you can't understand the second part of the sentence if you only know an 'open timeline').
So, as long as time is money, as long as I have to edit for a living, as long as clients don't pay for fiddling around with clips, there is no question that FCP X is superior.
Finally, let me quote Nick (page 1):
Sure, FCPX does make it easier to be lazy with an edit, but why should that be an argument against it? Isn't that an effect of any new technology? Certainly the same arguments were made when Media Composer.
The argument back then was that the non-destructive, non-linear nature of it made the editor lazy. He could cheat, just repair something that didn't work instead of questioning the whole thing.
The same was said of Word. If you just delete a passage of a novel and write two or three new sentences, the whole book in the end will be a patchwork. True.
And anyway, even earlier, when there were physical film strips to actually cut and splice (and never tracks btw, A/B editing never had independent clips!) in linear sequences, editors never thought of them as linear. Spielberg: "Stories don't have a middle or an end any more. They usually have a beginning that never stops beginning."
We should become aware of that. Never go for the first that comes along.

Funny.. this is exactly the biggest gripe i have with FCPX.. the linear magnetic time line. I much prefer independent video tracks especially for non-narrative stuff (i.e. music videos / edgy commercials). I guess it depends how your brain works. I know I also hate linear sequencing on audio software. Personal preference I guess. Ironically the big feature in this FCP update is independent audio tracks. I just wish they opened up that option to video tracks. As it is I'm seriously considering switching to Premiere for this alone.. Maybe my skills are to blame though to be honest (only been editing for few months) but I just can't seem to achieve the super fast jump cuts and other clip intensive effects that the guys i hire seem to effortlessly do inside Premiere..

This whole debate is so funny & it's mind bogling that we are still here talking about it.
Back in the day, when FCP7 existed, no one would touch Premiere with a barge pole since it was a pale bad imitation of FCP/Avid (in fact I didn't know Adobe had an NLE & I was working for a big media company) - the 2 main editing NLEs were FCP or Avid (Avid was used for the big money projects).
FCP gets re-worked, for the better (so much faster to edit than Avid/FCP7/Premiere) & suddenly Premiere is a great editing NLE - NO IT IS NOT! The only reason small companies jumped ship was because they could now (or should that be, had to) RENT the whole Adobe suite & lets face it the only 2 things worth using are After Effects & Photoshop - Premiere is there, so people use it & not because it somehow suddenly became this great editing platform.
Personally, if you can't edit in FCPX then you've got serious problems & the magnetic timeline arguement is a non-arguement (it's brought up by people who've never used FCPX for more than a few minutes). The only complaint I have is the need for 3rd party plug-ins, but if you've got the time you can make your own in Motion (and they tend to be better) - & no one is mentioning how great the new Motion is!

I hated the magnetic timeline when it first appeared but that is because I was used to doing things a certain way. After a few days I saw the sense in it and now consider it a timesaver.
LoL.. I don't have any "serious problems" and I've used FCPX for more then a few minutes. However pro editor I am not. I hire people for paid projects.
I guess I shouldn't expect any seasoned FCPX users to understand my gripes with it (which aren't limited to the single row mag time line).
My experience is every software has it's pros/cons, and some people may gel with one or the other depending on workflow preferences.
Some of the statements I'm reading here sound very biased borderline fanboyish so I won't further expand much..
All i can say is it so happens all the pros I hire are using Premiere, and they are independent so I don't think the rental argument holds up (premiere for single users is a lot more expensive then FCPX - this is a clear disadvantage of CC). They do use After FX, but I think the main thing is sticking to what you're confortable with and perhaps that it's become the industry standard (from indeed FCP7/Avid a decade ago). I think FCPX "lost" the pro market when it was introduced because of the iMovie look. Logic on the audio side also lost a lot of pros when Apple took over from Emagic and streamlined it with GarageBand. They've done major efforts since with updates catching up missing pro features but the harm is done.. But anyways use whatever you want.. The "debate" is kinda silly indeed.

This is as close to actual mind-reading as one can imagine in 2016.
Surely you're being farcical
What is the skimmer? It's a content-sensitive tool that makes the mouse-pointer/cursor a very fast playhead that scratches clips (means over a clip the mouse becomes the skimmer and a thumbnail in the browser becomes a miniature timeline) by gestures alone - no need to click or drag.
Which is great to get 'close enough' to the bits you want, but it makes it much more difficult to finesse by individual frames.
You mean other than linking, grouping etc?
Again - as I said, it's overall perhaps easier to throw things together to get close to what you want. And that part is relatively quick/easy. But start trying to finetune and it gets real difficult. Want to fine-tune timings of transitions between clips that have forced themselves into a storyline? Have fun. Want to slide an audio track that is the main storyline over a few frames because it's slightly out of sync? Good luck. Want to trim a certain part of a clip, but keep the gap there to ensure sync is retained? Again, good luck.
Except - again - when you want to fine tune your edit (which takes more time than other NLEs so potentially it cancels out the time saving of the assembly). Not to mention that it's costly and/or time consuming and/or simply impossible to get an OMF out of it to edit the audio appropriately.
If clients aren't paying for 'fiddling around with clips' - I certainly find myself 'fiddling around' with clips in FCPX to get it to do what I want more than I would with say MC.
Which is why I moved to Avid
Don't get me wrong - even Media Composer forced a different way of working to what I was used to with FCP7. But the way of working made infinitely more sense to me than FCPX, and I'm faster on it than FCPX.
FCPX is still a good editor - don't get me wrong, but I use FCPX for quick edits, stuff I don't want to spend too much time on (and I had to use it full time initially when I bought my A7s as it was the only software I had outside Resolve that read XAVC-S natively). When I want proper/full control, and care about making my edit the best it can be (and/or need to do a proper sound mix), I use MC.

FCPX lost the 'pro' market because Apple decided to go after a different customer base - its aimed at, and priced at a point where they've likely made more money on it in the past few years than they ever did with any previous versions of FCP/FCP Studio.
Most of the target demo (particularly YouTubers) probably don't care about pro features like OMF and TC (okay it has source TC now but didn't for a long time) and plenty of other things that the 'pro' (if you take pro to be the kind of market that used to be dominated by FCP7/Avid) user needs.
That doesn't make it a bad editor, and there are plenty of things to like about it.
But there are also major downsides that in some use cases can be hard to work around.

People tend to forget the reason a lot of FCP7 users switched to Premiere around that time (including me).
It wasn't that people were scared of the new type of editing. It was the fact that on the day FCPX came out, Apple completely dropped support for FCP7, including not allowing new copies of the software to be sold, dropped multicam editing (If you do broadcast work, this was like saying the program didn't support editing) , and didn't allow existing Final Cut projects to be imported into it.
At the same time this happened, Adobe took advantage of a great opportunity. They halved the cost of Premiere for anyone switching ("Just use code "Switch" at checkout"), and allowed FCP7 projects to be imported in Premiere.
In one move, the industry changed.

That I defend the skimmer is no fanboy behavior. No chance to do that in Premiere, hover scrubber or not.
Other NLEs have fully independent tracks, there is no way to tell clips how they relate to each other (you can't understand the second part of the sentence if you only know an 'open timeline').
Not the same. These relations are arbitrary, there is no hierarchy. That's why this comment is misleading.
Want to slide an audio track that is the main storyline over a few frames because it's slightly out of sync? Good luck.
When an audio clip IS the main storyline it's high time to think things over.
Want to trim a certain part of a clip, but keep the gap there to ensure sync is retained? Again, good luck.
Compare this to what you would do in Premiere. If it's paramount to keep clips at various points of the timeline in synch with clips on other tracks, you have to start the old Tetris routine. You have to manage the tracks, padlock them or create new ones to avoid collisions. No problem for an experienced editor, I know. Keeps you alert and stimulates your creativity, and I'm not being farcical now.. That's my point against FCP X, it is too easy.

I don't think so. FCP X users can learn from Premiere users and vice versa. Narrow-mindedness doesn't help anybody.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not 100% happy with FCPX as there are loads of things missing/wrong with it. But for my use, it was cheap & better than the demo of Premiere, which I tried side-by-side with FCPX demo for a month.
The magnetic timeline isn't great & to begin with I was able to avoid it since i was editing anamorphic footage & had to create an anamorphic template (no custom timelines at the start) - so no magnetic timeline to deal with. I'm used to it now, but not really happy with it - sometimes I forget to replace a clip with a block of nothing & everything does the rumba.
It's the missing things from FCP7 that made me fume, but then again the price made me smile!
For professional projects it's Avid all the way, but in the end no one NLE is king - it's money & habit.
All do the job to an acceptable standard - go in peace.....

Here's my story. I started interning at a post-production house in September 1999 and learned Avid Media Composer first. They eventually they hired me full-time and I learned Avid front-to-back. In film school I bought FCP (2 or 3) for personal projects. I stuck with it over the years and it got better and better. I became a diehard FCP guy. Never went back to Avid. Never left FCP7. I even cut a feature in 7 this year. Last year I spent a month on FCP X. It didn't stick. And this year, after another flirtation with Avid, and a separate flirtation with Resolve, I spent about three months in Premiere. Premiere has all the most important features from FCP7 that I needed to move on with my life. I can use it. It works.
About a week ago I download the FCP X 10.3 free trial. And... Wow. It takes some getting used to - the magnetic timeline concept is not something that feels "natural" to someone who's cut professionally for many years (commercials, features, industrials, etc.). My brain is wired to think in tracks and bins and everything like that. But FCP X is fast. Faster than premiere. Faster than anything. The amount of time from "I have an idea" to "I'm looking at that idea on a timeline" is the fastest of any app I've tried. I'm loving it.
It's missing a bunch of stuff from FCP7 that would help. Just a few knick-knacks and shortcuts that could make the process faster. But the trimming tools on the timeline, the speed and intuition that they add to the process. And, more importantly, the silly intermediate steps that have been subtracted? There's so much less friction to the edit.
As I start to get to the parts of the post process where I have to send out XML and move the project through external applications like mixing I can see some of the normal professional gripes. But as a creative tool? I think I'll be here for awhile.
16 hours ago, Geoff CB said:
Exactly. Not only that, it's not fair to compare FCPX's latest version with what it was day 1. There are plenty of features that have been implemented since it was released five years ago that have turned it into a viable piece of editing software for some people and some jobs. But there were (and still are) plenty of omissions that meant for a vast amount of users on FCP7, it was simply unusable.
Adobe's pricing, coupled with the fact that it was essentially FCP7 with an Adobe flair, meant that it was the logical choice for many people left without an editing home.
Avid also cut their prices for a while (and offered deals for FCP7 owners who wanted to come over), but they couldn't compete price-wise with Adobe, and they always were the more expensive option.
Had the photographer who was hired by the travel agency sitting next to me. He had been asked to shoot some additional video with his DSLR for a change for their homepage.

There was a monk with a monkey somewhat later. That was cool. Only now I realize I should've made some notes perhaps." I said, "you mean this monk?"
Again - this is the exact point I'm making. For a photographer shooting video, or a YouTuber, or other sorts of applications - it is a very powerful and quick piece of software.
But that's not everyone.
A photographer who shoots a bit of video doesn't care if he/she can send the Audio team an OMF, how it round trips from DaVinci, how it deals with source timecode, or whether or not they can share their timelines with assistant and other editors.
But some people need that stuff, and use it on a daily basis.
That's the thing - I have both FCPX and MC, and you have to put yourself into the FCPX mode of thinking when you use it, and accept that whilst it will be faster to do this thing, it will be much more time-consuming, or nigh on impossible to do that thing (even if that thing is very quick/easy to do in other NLEs).
You mean when the audio is the first thing you drag in, as you want to cut to it, and it automatically becomes the main storyline, and you finish your edit, or are 1halfway through but want to adjust the audio track a little - you're saying the best thing to do is to start over and/or re-think your edit? Really?

I think there's a widespread fundamental lack of understanding of how FCPX works, mostly by those who don't really use it, or have used it once, thought it was weird, and went to Adobe.
I was an FCP7 user, and I updated to FCPX in 2011. I was stumped and had no idea what was going on. But I looked at the new features and thought, this has got to be good. So I spent time to learn it.
I've not looked back since. The new design was faster, intuitive, responsive, organised and very well supported by third parties.
I use FCPX for everything now - music videos, commercials, corporates, everything.
The update to FCPX 10.3 is the definite version... going to Premiere does feel a little "ancient"... now I'm pulling my hair out wondering what all these tracks and stacks are doing, ironically. There's nothing wrong with that, this design floats some peoples boats.
FCPX feels to me like a true progression from track based NLE's, and like with anything new or different, give it enough of a chance and you'll learn to love it. My opinion is that it's design and performance is now way ahead of Premiere - and this may become fact if more forgot about the past and embraced it, as it is now.
No, it's not for everybody. If you work together with other pros it makes much less sense I guess. Just let me say that I find roundtripping to and from Resolve very reliable so far. For OMF export, you'd need a plugin, afaik there are a few, one of them from well-known Automatic Duck. As far as I am concerned, I never loved Premiere, but I am an AAE subscriber. I precompose 'layers' in FCP X as compound clips from my project-timeline and conform the XMLs with XtoCC. I know it's no dynamic link, but again: reliable.
With more complex post, the time you spend to shove clips back and forth probably matters less.
Who is a professional anyway?
On 7.11.2016 at 4:06 PM, Axel said:
You start by connecting the audio clip with "q", not "e". It gets connected to a black gap placeholder clip the length of your audio. You never use "e" in such a project.
"b" - if you want to cut to the beat (which I don't, I cut to the rhythm), you can chop the gap in pieces, select one piece with "x" and 3-point-overwrite it with "d" or "shift + d" (backwards)
"d" - to overwrite the gap clip at the position of the playhead
"q" - to move clips freely above the solidly-synched primary storyline, the way you would tracks allow to staple above the locked audio track
"alt + cmd + down" to finally move a connected clip to the main storyline, lock it ("alt + command + up" if it needs to be free again)
Of course you can trim clips without moving the rest out of synch. You just have to find the find the right tools for a given task. This example shows four things:
1. depending on the project, the actual editing in the timeline can be quite similar to that of track-based NLEs.
2. using the primary storyline as a dummy clip easily gives you back the open timeline experience. Start with a gap, hit "ctrl + d" and make it ten minutes long. Then there IS no story.
3. More often than not, having that linear "track one" is a big timesaver. And it doesn't need to make you lazy, as long as you are aware of the formal simplification it implies.
4. Many comments on how FCP X performs poorer than Premiere for a certain job (i.e. music clips) show how little experience people have with the tools and that they don't plan their projects in advance.

Sorry to highjack the OP but I think I got bugged. I hope it's just user error but I wanted to know what do you think. Anybody got this before or know how to fix it? Should I bug report it?
Fixed. It's a bug based on language. I changed it to english and worked without issue. Loving it now. In fact I love FCPX so much I feel stuck with Mac but the update put the -bug- of PCs buzzing in my ear and that razer blade, Razer Core and Resolve look mighty interesting. hmmmmm! Lately I'm reading reviews of people who are using it more and more like Biscardi or Marco Solorio and Youtube is growing a healthy tutorial community.

Not fixed then. I noticed a few months ago that I couldn't map the 'Magic Keyboard' (german version) to FCP X shortcuts (left bracket, right bracket etc. become Umlaute- äöüß). Wrote to Apple, but there is no solution other than buying a traditional keyboard or use FCP X in english.
The translation to german is flawed. In FCP 7, they didn't translate the important stuff like Browser, Viewer, Canvas, Playhead and Timeline. No one knows what the german word for browser would be anyway. In 10.3, it became worse. Originally, they had translated roles ('Rollen' in german) to Funktionen (functions). Because a term of analog film, reel, translates to Rolle as well. Now they call it Funktion in some places, Rolle in others. Very confusing, particularly for newbies.

با توجه به اهمیت و سهم عمده صادرات کالاهای صنعتی در سبد صادرات غیرنفتی و تأثیر آن‌ها بر رشد اقتصادی متوازن کشور، بررسی اثر سرمایه انسانی بر صادرات کالاهای صنعتی به منظور توسعه این بخش ضروری به نظر می‌رسد. هدف این مطالعه، بررسی تأثیر سرمایه انسانی و دیگر متغیرهای تأثیرگذار بر صادرات کالاهای صنعتی در سطح استان‌های کشور با استفاده از داده‌های تابلویی طی دوره (1386-1379) است.
یافته‌های تجربی تحقیق نشان می‌دهد که طی دوره مورد بررسی، سرمایه انسانی در کنار ارزش افزوده صنعتی و نرخ ارز اسمی تأثیر مثبت و معنی‌دار بر صادرات صنعتی استان‌های کشور داشته است. همچنین، تأثیر تقاضای داخلی کالاهای صنعتی و متغیر رابطه مبادله نیز بر صادرات صنعتی استان‌های کشور منفی و معنی‌دار بوده است. توصیه مهم سیاستی این مطالعه آن است که دولت برای توسعه صادرات صنعتی کشور باید توسعه کمی و کیفی سرمایه انسانی را در اولویت برنامه‌های توسعه خود قرار داده و با برنامه‌ریزی مناسب آموزش نیروی کار را بهبود و گسترش دهد.
With regard to the significance and high proportion of Iranian manufacturing industries' export in non_oil export basket and their impact on balanced economic growth in Iran, it is essential that effective factors on the manufacturing industries' export be investigated. This paper investigates the impact of human capital on the export of Iranian industries, using a panel data set of 2-digit ISIC manufacturing industries at Iranian provinces level, over the period 2000-2007.
For that purpose, we use the number of workers with higher education degree (as a proxy for human capital) to examine the effect of human capital on the export of the manufacturing industries. The results show that human capital, manufacturing value added and nominal exchange rate have positive and significant effects on the export of the manufacturing industries. In addition, the domestic demand of manufacturing goods and terms of trade have significant negative effects on these industries export. Therefore, any effort to expand the higher education is highly recommended.

Buhari @78: PRESIDENT OR MANNEQUIN? – By Abubakar Adam Ibrahim
Today, December 17, President Muhammadu Buhari turns 78. His storied life has not been short of ironies. The biggest of this ironies, it would seem, is how strange and mystifying it is that a man who fought stubbornly for 12 full years for the honour to govern a country would suddenly lose all interest in governance once he got the chance to rule. The warning … Continue reading Buhari @78: PRESIDENT OR MANNEQUIN? – By Abubakar Adam Ibrahim

The Federal Government has told former president, Olusegun Obasanjo, that endorsement is different from winning election.
Lai Mohammed, Information Minister, who stood in for the government stated this while reacting to denial by Mr Obasanjo that he withdrew his support for Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP).
Addressing news men on Monday in Abuja, Mr Mohammed told the former president that his endorsement for the former vice president does not guarantee the latter would win the 2019 election as the PDP candidate "will be defeated roundly and comprehensively".
"With due respect to former President Obasanjo, it is his constitutional right to support any candidate of his choice and we urge him to go out and campaign vigorously for any candidate he wants to support," Mohammed said.
"However, I want to assure you that his candidate will be defeated roundly and comprehensively. It is not about endorsement, endorsement does not win election," he said.
The minister said the statement credited to the former president wherein the later stated that "only a fool will sit on the fence when his or her country is being destroyed with incompetence, corruption lack of focus, insecurity nepotism and brazen impunity," was because Obasanjo was not properly briefed on the developments in the country hence his decision to have made such conclusions..

Die beiden spätbronzezeitlichen Bronzeschilde von Herzsprung wurden im Jahr 1844 einen Kilometer östlich von Herzsprung in Brandenburg von einem Bauern in zwei Meter Tiefe ausgegraben. Im 8. Jahrhundert v. Chr. deponierte man sie dort übereinander im damaligen Moor.

Beschreibung
Die Schilde wurden in einer Grube – an der Stelle eines früheren Wasserloches – unter Eichenblöcken von einem Bauern als Moorfund ausgegraben. Einer der Prunkschilde ist rund mit einem Durchmesser von etwa 70 Zentimetern, während der andere leicht oval ist und einen Durchmesser von 68 bis 71 Zentimetern aufweist. Das Gewicht beider Schilde beträgt zusammen etwa 1,45 Kilogramm. Die dünnwandigen aus Bronzeblech gearbeiteten, einst hell glänzenden Schilde dienten ausschließlich als Prunkwaffen. Sie wiesen keine Gebrauchsspuren auf. Zusammengefaltet und damit für den Gebrauch untauglich, wurden sie dem Moor übergeben. Spätbronzezeitliche Schilde wurden in ganz Europa nur einzeln oder gruppiert in Horten gefunden, nie traten sie vergesellschaftet mit anderen Funden auf.

Mooropfer und -deponierungen sind aus verschiedenen Kulturen belegt. Sie weisen einzigartige Erhaltungsbedingungen auf und erlauben Einblicke in religiöse Vorstellungen und Praktiken. Die beiden Bronzeblechschilde, die den Herzsprungtyp etablierten, gehören in die späte Nordische Bronzezeit. Es existiert ein Bericht über den außergewöhnlichen Fund. Die längs mittig zusammengefalteten Schilde hat man zweifellos nicht verloren. Das Fehlen von Hieb- und Stichspuren sowie die für einen Gebrauch zu dünnen Schildfesseln deuten darauf hin, dass es sich um Zeremonialschilde handelte. Dazu passt der hohe Zinngehalt (12,42–13,25 Prozent), der den Schilden Glanz verlieh.

Das Bronzeblech der beiden Schilde ist 0,4 mm dünn ausgetrieben. Vom Herstellungsprozess zeugen strahlenförmige Linien auf der Innenseite, die durch radiales Aushämmern mit einem Treibhammer entstanden. Der Rand wurde zur Stabilisierung um einen Verstärkungsring aus Blei geschlagen. Im Zentrum des einen Schildes sitzt ein ovaler, von innen ausgetriebener Schildbuckel. Er ist gerade so groß, dass darunter eine Faust Platz findet, die den Schild hielt. Die Schildaußenflächen sind mit konzentrischen Mustern verziert. Da der Schildbuckel oval ist, besitzen die inneren Verzierungsringe ebenfalls ovale Umrisse, werden aber zum Rand hin kreisförmiger, obwohl der Eindruck eines Ovalschildes besteht. Die auf der Schildrückseite häufig angebrachten Ösen, die das Tragen mittels eines Riemens ermöglichen, fehlen.

Gebrauchstüchtige Schilde der Bronzezeit bestanden aus Leder oder Holz, doch haben sich davon kaum Exemplare erhalten. Eine seltene Ausnahme bildet der Lederschild aus Clonbrin County Longford in Irland, der auch Ziermerkmale der Herzsprungschilde aufweist.

Weitere Funde
15 Bronzeschilde vom Herzsprung-Typ wurden 1985 in einem Moor nahe Lidköping in Schweden entdeckt. Ein weiteres schwedisches Exemplar stammt aus Nackhälla. Aufgrund des konzentrierten Vorkommens in Schweden darf man die Herstellung des Typus Herzsprung im südlichen Skandinavien vermuten. Den Bezug zum nordischen Kreis stellen die gemeinsamen Deponierungsumstände her. Es wurden kleine Moore bevorzugt.

Den Herzsprungschilden Südskandinaviens und Norddeutschlands stehen Typen anderer Regionen (Dänemark, Großbritannien und Südwestdeutschland) gegenüber. Während die Schilde in Dänemark und Großbritannien in der Regel ebenfalls in Mooren gefunden wurden, handelt es sich bei den süddeutschen Exemplaren um Flussfunde.

Interpretation
Im Zusammenhang mit den Bronzeamphoren der Vejo-Gevelinghausen-Seddin Gruppe wird in Fachkreisen darüber diskutiert ob die Verzierung der Schilde einen kalendarischen Hintergrund hat. Der erste Schild besitzt eine Buckelanzahl von 707. Wird für jeden Buckel ein Tag angenommen, so entspräche ihre Anzahl der Dauer von zwei synodischen Mondjahren. Der genaue Wert von zwei synodischen Mondjahren ist 708,7 Tage. Die inneren zwei Buckelreihen ergeben 167 + 185 = 352 Tage und die zwei äußeren Reihen 152 + 203 = 355 Tage. Dem steht die Kritik gegenüber, dass nur Annäherungswerte erreicht werden und keine exakte Systematik zu erkennen ist. Ein praktikabler Gebrauch sei dadurch kaum vorstellbar.

On Tuesday the Reserve Bank of Australia will meet to discuss the cash rate once again. As with the previous 21 meetings, the general consensus is that rates will be held at the record low of 1.5% for another month.
In fact, economists at Westpac Banking Corp (ASX: WBC) think this will be the case until as late as 2021.
National Storage is a real estate investment trust with a focus on self-storage assets. I felt that the trust delivered a strong result in August when it posted a 12.5% increase in underlying earnings to $51.4 million. This solid growth was driven by a combination of the expansion of its self-storage centre network and a rise in its occupancy levels. The good news is that there appears to be a meaningful opportunity for the trust to grow its centre network even further in the future due to the overall market being highly fragmented. I expect this to underpin growth in earnings and its distribution for many years to come. At present National Storage's shares offer a trailing distribution yield of approximately 5.6%.
WAM Capital is one of my favourite listed investment companies (LIC). This LIC provides Australian investors with exposure to an actively managed diversified portfolio of undervalued growth companies. The company's strategy has been very effective over the last few years and has led to solid earnings and dividend growth. So much so the company lifted its full-year dividend for the ninth year in a row last month. The board declared a 7.75 cents per share final dividend, bringing its full year dividend to 15.5 cents per share. This equates to a trailing fully franked 6.2% dividend. Judging by the performance of its funds so far this year, I suspect the company will make it a decade of dividend increases in FY 2019.
Finally, here's another top share which has been growing its dividend at a solid rate in recent times.

Rugged Mountain is launching a line of slide-out truck campers from Nampa, Idaho. Here's how this new company already has decades of truck camper manufacturing experience, and where the tiny house phenomenon fits in.
Four years ago Jesse Collinsworth had a bold idea. He would quit his job as a traveling electrician and start a tiny home manufacturing business. He had no outside funding, no pre-sold customers, and no way of knowing if such a business could actually work.
What Jesse did have was the essential ingredient for any successful business start-up – grit. Defined by Dictionary.com as, "firmness of character; indomitable spirit", grit powered Jesse through the inevitable, "Are you nuts?" and "That will never work" comments from friends and family. He was also motivated by a rapidly depleting bank account and a new baby on the way.
Fortunately, Jesse's calculated risk quickly paid dividends. His new business, Tiny Idahomes, grew rapidly requiring more and more employees and larger and larger production facilities. Then, with Tiny Idahomes hitting its stride, another entrepreneurial opportunity presented itself.
Just down the street, an established truck camper brand was abandoned by a succession of new owners who were disinterested in the truck camper market. Jesse, a passionate truck camper himself, couldn't help his boundless business spirit and decided to take action.
We are very excited to be announcing the beginning of a brand new truck camper manufacturer, Rugged Mountain RV. With two slide-out models already in production and a highly experienced manufacturing team on staff, Rugged Mountain campers have hit the ground running.
To learn more of the incredible story behind this new start-up, and details about how Rugged Mountain truck campers are manufactured, we talked to Jesse Collinsworth, President of Rugged Mountain RV.
TCM: Before we get to Rugged Mountain RV, tell us about how you first got involved with tiny homes.
Jesse: I am an electrician by trade. Before starting Tiny Idahomes, I was a traveling electrician who worked on Marriott Hotels. Then I met my wife and we started talking about having children. I wanted more stable work, so traveling and raising children wasn't going to cut it.
Four years ago, tiny homes were still an emerging trend. After a brutal winter working on a Marriott in Casper, Wyoming, I decided I wouldn't do winter traveling anymore. I called Anca, my then fiancé, and told her that I was going to quit my job as an electrician and build tiny homes.
TCM: That was a bold decision. What was her reaction?
Jesse: At first she didn't believe me. Then she was very upset. As an electrician, I was making good money. We went from good money, to no money at all. Our friends and family also didn't see the opportunity in tiny homes. Nobody thought I could sell them.
I built the first tiny house myself in a facility owned by a friend. It took me three months to build it. By the time it was completed, Anca and I had less than $100 in our bank account. To make matters more stressful, Anca was pregnant. That was an emotional roller coaster.
Fortunately, that first tiny home sold quickly. We rolled that money back into the company and built more tiny homes. By the end of the first year, there were four guys including myself building tiny homes in our own 1,500 square foot facility.
Our pre-sold orders continued to grow. In our second year we expanded our facility to a 3,000 square feet, and then 6,000 square feet. By the end of year two, we had built 16 tiny homes and still had more sales in the pipeline.

Q: Cheerio.js not grabbing non inline styles? I'm currently using node.js to scrape a word document saved as an .htm, then rewrite it for a shell.
I have create < li > tags but the way these word documents are saved out I have to hunt for them by looking for margin-left. like this:
$("p","td:nth-child(2)").each(function(){
   var marginLeft = this.css("margin-left");
}

I have it working pretty great so far.   The only trouble I am facing is when the style is actually applied via a class.
Here is the conflicting class:
p.RNBullet1, li.RNBullet1, div.RNBullet1{
   mso-style-name:"*RN Bullet1";
   mso-style-unhide:no;
   mso-style-link:"*RN Bullet1 Char";
   margin-top:0in;
   margin-right:0in;
   margin-bottom:0in;
   margin-left:.2in;
   text-indent:-.2in;
   mso-pagination:widow-orphan;
   mso-list:l12 level1 lfo5;
   font-size:11.0pt;
   font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
   mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";
}

It will return that with an undefined, when clearly it has a value.
Any insight into this would be helpful I've going crazy over here.

A: As vkurchatkin pointed out above, cheerio just traverses the DOM.   It doesn't read style sheets
This was the answer:  https://npmjs.org/package/juice
Basically I loaded cheerio with what juice returned.
Juice will turn styes into inline.


In the background of domestic boom and economic turmoil, Chinese automotive corporations are seeking their opportunities to grow globally. Outbound Mergers and Acquisitions are regarded as one of the most effective method to achieve their internationalisation goals for Chinese automakers. This research paper examines and explores the Chinese automotive corporations' outbound M&As in the perspectives of motives, drivers, benefits and drawbacks for the Chinese automotive manufacturers' cross-border M&As through the single case study of Sichuan Tengzhong's acquisition of Hummer brand from GM.
By analysing the case study, motives and drivers of Chinese automotive companies could be concluded in the country-specific, industry-specific and company-specific level. Chinese economy taking off and government supports account for the country level incentives. While, the industry level motives and drivers indicate the fierce competition in Chinese automotive industry. In the company-specific level, technology sourcing, market quick entrance, brand value and recognition, and the previous M&A knowledge are the main five incentives for Chinese automakers in their outbound M&As. For the benefits, drawbacks and difficulties in the perspective of Chinese automotive manufacturers, benefits are part of those incentives as sophisticated technology, quick market access, and brand value and shift. Drawbacks and difficulties includes the Chinese government role, over valuation and pricing, poor post-transaction management, lack of strategic future plans, and the economic crisis recently.
With the research discussions and findings, this dissertation hopes to reveal and increase the level of the reader's knowledge of the outbound M&As from Chinese automotive companies.
