Painting sow Pigcasso hogs the limelight at South Africa farm

FRANSCHHOEK, South Africa (Reuters) – Step aside Francis Bacon.

Brandishing a paintbrush in her snout, Pigcasso enthusiastically tosses her head to create bright, bold strokes across a canvas propped up in her sty.

The sow was rescued from an abattoir as a piglet and brought to an animal sanctuary in Franschhoek, in South Africa’s Western Cape region in 2016, where her new owners noticed her love of color and paint brushes. 

“Pigs are very smart animals and so when I brought Pigcasso here to the barn, I thought how do I keep her entertained?” said Joanne Lefson, who runs Farm Sanctuary SA.

“We threw in some soccer balls, rugby balls and of course there were some paintbrushes lying around because the barn was newly build … She basically ate or destroyed everything except these paintbrushes … she loved them so much,” Lefson added.

Soon the pig was dipping the brushes into pots of paint and making her mark. Her paintings can sell for almost $4,000, with the proceeds going to animal welfare. She has even had one of her artworks turned into a watch face for Swiss watchmaker Swatch.

Swatch announced a collaboration with the pig last month.

The limited edition “Flying Pig by Ms. Pigcasso” features green, blue and pink brush strokes and sells for $120.

“Pigcasso is definitely an abstract expressionist, you can’t exactly define what she’s painting but I can tell you that her style slightly changes depending on her mood like any great artist,” said Lefson.

STOCKHOLM (Reuters) – Sweden’s Veoneer expects to gain from a commercial delay in self-driving cars, betting that rising demand for its radar and camera-based systems as the industry ramps up to autonomy will boost its market position.

Forecasts on when autonomous vehicles will become a commercial reality have been receding, with most analysts now expecting broad-based adoption to take another decade as accidents in early testing have raised fresh concerns about regulation, technology and cost.

Veoneer, seen by many investors as a play on autonomous driving, has suffered as a result. Weak car markets, delayed 2020 targets and cash concerns also contributed to a 36 percent drop in Veoneer’s stock over the past six months.

Chief Technology Officer Nishant Batra, however, said that by being more selective following its investment and product portfolio review, Veoneer could position itself to scale up more efficiently and set the foundation for the future.

He said increasing requirements for active safety features to get top ratings in car safety assessment schemes such as the European New Car Assessment Program (Euro NCAP) would be the big market driver for the coming years.

Veoneer’s base case is that the market for its active safety products will soar to $24 billion in 2025, from $7 billion in 2018.

“We have always focused on getting the portfolio ready for attacking that demand,” Chief Technology Officer Nishant Batra said. He added that the bigger role in the market for camera and vision systems coupled with software for combining data from different sensors was a “sweet spot” for the company.

Some analysts are skeptical. UBS repeated its “sell” rating on Veoneer in a note on Monday, citing worries over the company’s growth as well as capital concerns.

STEREO CAMERA

Loss-making Veoneer kept its $4 billion sales target for 2022 intact and reported a 95 percent jump in active safety order bookings last year, but the delay of its 2020 targets increased concerns it might run short of capital before sales kick in and be unable to keep up with better-capitalized rivals.

While Veoneer and rivals Continental and Bosch all have mono- and stereo camera systems with internally developed software, U.S.-based Aptiv has focused on mono cameras with much success, sourcing algorithms from vision software market leader Mobileye, owned by Intel.

Deutsche Bank, which rates Veoneer a “sell”, said in February the company faced “big near term challenges” from high investment costs, adding it had longer-term questions about the differentiation of Veoneer’s technology, a risk to its competitiveness and margins.

Veoneer believes driver monitoring will be an important area, with sensor fusion between the inward-looking and outward looking camera underway, and Batra said thermal imagery and camera fusing was also being increasingly discussed.

He said the move from the so-called level 1 to level 2 opened up the market for sensor fusion software, which can be monetized through added advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).

Cars are classified on a 0-5 autonomy scale, with level 2 partially automated, level 3 conditionally automated, and level 4 highly automated and capable of performing all driving functions under certain conditions.

“This market has suddenly come alive for us. When you go from level 1 to level 3, some of the centralization of computing already starts,” he said.

Batra said Veoneer’s main driverless push, Zenuity – the ADAS and autonomous drive software joint venture with Volvo Cars – should be seen as self-sustaining with its software used for both sensor fusion and Level 4 products.

“This also helps the OEMs (carmakers) get ready for the eventual journey toward level 4, so we see this market take off and we have won some good initial contracts in this space.”

Centrist Dems Think Far Left Will Lead to Defeat in 2020

Moderates in the Democratic Party are starting to propose alternatives to the Green New Deal and Medicare-for-all out of concern that those policies could prove too far-left for voters in the 2020 election, The Washington Post reports.

Several moderate Democrats seeking the nomination in 2020, such as former Vice President Joe Biden and former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke, have promised to avoid a dramatic expansion of the government’s influence on the economy. They’ve also pushed back on Medicare-for-all, saying they would rather focus on making small expansions or finding solutions in the market. 

“I think that’s one of the ways to ensure that we get to guaranteed, high-quality health care for every single American,” O’Rourke said recently, when asked about Medicare-for-all. “I’m no longer sure that that’s the fastest way to get there.”

“Show me the really left-left-left-left-wingers who beat a Republican,” in the midterms, Biden said to reporters last week. “The fact of the matter is the vast majority of the members of the Democratic Party are still basically liberal-moderate Democrats in the traditional sense.”

 “There is a bit in the air that is worryingly reminiscent of 1972, when Democrats were rightly enraged with a corrupt and malign president were disillusioned by their previous unsuccessful establishment presidential candidate, gravitated to radical redistribution economic policy, focused on turning out their activists and failed to focus on the middle,” said Larry Summers, former Treasury Secretary and economic advisor to former President Barack Obama. “The result was the political catastrophe of Richard Nixon’s reelection.”

Estonia likely to see euroskeptic party brought to power

Estonia's outgoing prime minister has been designated to form a government in a decision that likely will bring a populist, eurosceptic party to power for the first time in the Baltic nation.

The 101-seat Riigikogu legislature voted Wednesday 55-44 to give Juri Ratas, Estonia's government head since 2016 and leader of the left-leaning Center Party, the green light to form a three-way coalition.

Kaja Kallas, leader of the center-right Reform Party that won the March 3 election, was first tasked to form a government but failed to get sufficient support.

Ratas this month clinched a surprise deal with the nationalist, anti-immigrant Estonian Conservative People's Party and the conservative Fatherland.

The trio would muster a majority of 56 seats in Parliament, which is set to approve the government on April 29.

O'Rourke Vows to Stop Using F-Word on Campaign Trail

Democratic presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke says he's never taken the illegal drug LSD and there's "nothing" he hasn't already revealed about his past that could hurt his candidacy.

O'Rourke also committed Sunday during a stop in Madison, Wisconsin, to stop using the F-word while campaigning, a profanity he used frequently while running for the U.S. Senate in Texas and while exploring his presidential bid.

O'Rourke was asked about his past drug use after signing a person's skateboard. Another voter asked O'Rourke if he was going to "clean up his act" and stop using profanities, especially in front of his children.

O'Rourke says "great point, and I don't intend to use the F-word going forward. Point taken, and very strongly made. ... We're going to keep it clean."

Rep. Nunes: Schiff-Cohen Meetings 'Shouldn't Be Shocking'

The news President Donald Trump's former attorney Michael Cohen met several times with House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff and his staff before testifying before Congress "shouldn't be shocking," Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., also a committee member, said Friday.

"They were clearly devising how they will roll out a new narrative," the California Republican told Fox News' "Fox and Friends." "Despite all of that, they still came out and came out with a fake news story that has now been debunked."

And no matter how much "witness tampering" was done, "you're not going to find collusion in this unless you talk about the collision that the Democratic Party and the [Hillary] Clinton Campaign was doing with Russians," Nunes said.

Even though he used the term witness tampering, Nunes acknowledged it was not in the legal sense, as there is "nothing illegal about talking to witnesses beforehand."

However, if it was a "real investigation," Republican and Democratic lawyers would have met with the lawyers of whoever was to testify, Nunes said.

Meanwhile, he said he finds speculation members of Trump's family could face any kind of legal charges.

"The whole point of this Mueller investigation was, was there collusion or not?" Nunes said. "It is like this mythical creature that's out there running around somewhere around the capital. You've got, you know, dozens and dozens of reporters who spend all day looking for this mythical creature. The Democrats, they prance out a new, new mythical creature every day. The press follows it."

“I’m Fucked”: Trump’s Initial Reaction to Learning of Special Counsel Investigation

President Trump’s initial reaction to learning that a Special Counsel had been appointed to investigate him was to exclaim, “This is the end of my Presidency. I’m fucked.”

The redacted version of the Mueller report has now been released to the public.

In a section entitled ‘The Appointment of the Special Counsel and the President’s Reaction’ we discover how Trump immediately responded to the news he was under investigation.

After Attorney General Jeff Sessions relayed the news, Trump said; “Oh my God. This is terrible. This is the end of my Presidency. I’m fucked.”

Trump then became angry and blamed Sessions for recusing himself from the investigation, saying Sessions had “let (him) down”.

null

“How could you let this happen….you were supposed to protect me,” said Trump.

“Everyone tells me if you get one of these independent counsels it ruins your presidency. It takes years and years and I won’t be able to do anything. This is the worst thing that ever happened to me,” Trump added.

Given Trump’s initial reaction, it’s ironic that the Mueller investigation eventually vindicated him and could actually help him get re-elected.

The report concluded there was no evidence any member or surrogate of the Trump administration colluded with Russia to interfere in the election.

(Reuters) – U.S. stock index futures were flat on Friday, as investors paused ahead of GDP data, which is expected to show the world’s largest economy maintained a moderate pace of growth in the first quarter.

Gross domestic product probably increased at a 2% annualized rate in the quarter as a burst in exports, strong inventory stockpiling and government investment in public construction projects offset a slowdown in consumer and business spending, according to a Reuters survey of economists.

The Commerce Department report will be published at 8:30 a.m. ET.

The GDP data comes as investors look for fresh catalysts to push the markets higher. The S&P 500 index is about 0.5% below its record high hit in late September, after surging nearly 17% this year.

First-quarter earnings have been largely upbeat, with nearly 78% of the 178 companies that have reported so far surpassing earnings estimates, according to Refinitiv data.

Wall Street now expects S&P 500 earnings to be in line with the year-ago quarter, a sharp improvement from the 2.3% fall expected at the start of April.

Amazon.com Inc rose 0.9% in premarket trading after the e-commerce giant reported quarterly profit that doubled and beat estimates on soaring demand for its cloud and ad services.

Ford Motor Co shares surged 8.5% after the automaker posted better-than-expected first-quarter earnings largely due to strong pickup truck sales in its core U.S. market.

Mattel Inc jumped 8% after the toymaker beat analysts’ estimates for quarterly revenue, as a more diverse range of Barbie dolls powered sales in the United States.

At 6:52 a.m. ET, Dow e-minis were down 35 points, or 0.13%. S&P 500 e-minis were down 1.5 points, or 0.05% and Nasdaq 100 e-minis were up 10.75 points, or 0.14%.

Among decliners, Intel Corp slumped 7.7% after it cut its full-year revenue forecast and missed quarterly sales estimate for its key data center business.

Rival Advanced Micro Devices declined 0.8%.

Oil majors Exxon Mobil Corp and Chevron Corp are expected to report results later in the day.

WARSAW (Reuters) – Germany could owe Poland more than $850 billion in reparations for damages it incurred during World War Two and the brutal Nazi occupation, a senior ruling party lawmaker said.

Some six million Poles, including three million Polish Jews, were killed during the war and Warsaw was razed to the ground following a 1944 uprising in which about 200,000 civilians died.

Germany, one of Poland’s biggest trade partners and a fellow member of the European Union and NATO, says all financial claims linked to World War Two have been settled.

The right-wing Law and Justice (PiS) has revived calls for compensation since it took power in 2015 and has made the promotion of Poland’s wartime victimhood a central plank of its appeal to nationalism.

PiS has yet to make an official demand for reparations but its combative stance towards Germany has strained relations.

“Poland lost not only millions of its citizens but it was also destroyed in an unusually brutal way,” Arkadiusz Mularczyk, who heads the Polish parliamentary committee on reparations, told Reuters in an interview.

“Many (victims) are still alive and feel deeply wronged.”

His comments come a month before European Parliament elections in which populist and nationalist parties are expected to do well. Poland will also hold national elections later this year, with PiS still well ahead of its rivals in opinion polls.

EU LARGESSE

Mularczyk said the reparations figure could amount to more than 10 times the estimated 100 billion euros ($111 billion) that Poland has received so far in European Union funds since it joined the bloc in 2004.

Germany is the biggest net donor to the EU budget and some Germans regard its contributions as generous compensation to recipient countries like Poland which suffered under Nazi rule.

In 1953 Poland’s then-communist rulers relinquished all claims to war reparations under pressure from the Soviet Union, which wanted to free East Germany, also a Soviet satellite, from any liabilities. PiS says that agreement is invalid because Poland was unable to negotiate fair compensation.

Mularczyk said his committee hoped to complete its report on the reparations issue by Sept. 1, the 80th anniversary of Hitler’s invasion.

Accusing Berlin of playing “diplomatic games” over the issue, he said: “The matter is being swept under the rug (by Germany) … until it’ll be wiped from the memory, from people’s awareness.”

His comments come after the Greek parliament voted this month to seek billions of euros in German reparations for the Nazi occupation of their country.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday said the United States did not pay any money to North Korea as it sought the release of comatose American student Otto Warmbier.

The Washington Post reported on Thursday that Trump had approved payment of a $2 million bill from North Korea to cover its care of the college student, who died shortly after he was returned to the United States after 17 months in a North Korean prison.

Al-Qaida in Yemen is vowing to avenge beheadings carried out by Saudi Arabia this week — an indication that some of the 37 Saudis executed on terrorism-related charges were members of the Sunni militant group.

Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, as the branch is called, posted a statement on militant-linked websites on Friday, accusing the kingdom of offering the blood of the “noble children of the nation just to appease America.”

The statement says al-Qaida will “never forget about their blood and we will avenge them.”

U.S. ally Saudi Arabia on Tuesday executed 37 suspects convicted on terrorism-related charges. Most were believed to be Shiites but at least one was believed to be a Sunni militant.

His body was pinned to a pole in public as a warning to others.

For two friends with checkered pasts it was the luck of a lifetime: a 4 million-pound ($5.2 million) lottery win.

But Mark Goodram and Jon-Ross Watson may see their celebrations cut short.

The Sun newspaper reports that Britain’s National Lottery is withholding the payout as it investigates whether the men, who have a string of criminal convictions, used illicit means to buy the winning ticket.

The Sun said neither man has a bank account, leading lottery organizers to investigate how they obtained the bank-issued debit card that paid for the 10 pound ($13) scratch card.

Camelot, which runs the lottery, said Friday it couldn’t confirm details of the story because of winner-anonymity rules. The firm said it holds a “thorough investigation” if there is any doubt about a claim.
