text:
In August last year, Fabienne Wauthier was in Los Angeles with her son, Alexander, who was about to begin university there. She called her husband Pierre, 53, at home in Switzerland, to tell him how well Alexander was doing. Then at 4am she was woken by another call. It was Axel Lehmann , a colleague of her husband at Zurich Insurance, whom she had never met. Fabienne, 55, says: "He told me Pierre had hanged himself. He was found by a security guard that his secretary sent to the house because Pierre was half an hour late. Is that worrisome enough to send a security guard?"
Zurich Insurance says the guard went there because Pierre's assistant could not reach him and he had missed meetings. "We did not have any indication that Pierre was contemplating such a step; if we had we would have immediately taken action." After speaking to Fabienne, the company arranged for a car to pick her up and fly her back to Switzerland, "with a doctor by my side all the way in case I had a breakdown".
Speaking from the lakefront family home south of Zurich, which Pierre first found while jogging, his widow told me about the man she knew for 32 years and now faces life without. With Alexander, 19, starting university and their daughter Laura, 21, studying in Cambridge, the couple were beginning a new phase of life and had recently been on holiday to Biarritz. Pierre surfed a lot there but was still putting in around six hours of work a day.
His job as chief financial officer was demanding. "Usually he had seven hours' sleep and the rest of the time it was BlackBerry in one hand, laptop in the other. We weren't necessarily happy that he was sacrificing family time for work but we respected his decision because it was not profit-orientated. He had a long-term ambition to make the company better."
Fabienne is speaking now because she is unhappy with how her husband's death has been investigated. She recounts that on the eve of his suicide Pierre was with his cousin. "I'm going to say something that sounds hysterical but he had just renewed his transport pass for the whole of 2014. Pierre dropped his shirts to the dry-cleaner on Saturday. On the Sunday evening we talked about my returning because Alexander was doing well, and then four hours later he hanged himself. I cannot reconcile that."
The immediate aftermath of Pierre's death was a time when, Fabienne says: "I was not always completely rational. You consider yourself to be his coach and confidante and you didn't notice, so what does that say about you? I'm not saying Zurich should have seen it coming. Even I was not able to see it coming. The problem is that I didn't underestimate the pressure he was under at work; I overestimated how important his family was to him."
At the Zurich AGM last week Fabienne took to the stage in front of management and shareholders. With her daughter, Pierre's mother and brother at her side, the Frenchwoman said her family could not accept the investigation into his death, which she said did not approach her. The investigation, commissioned by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (Finma) and carried out by a law firm, exonerated the insurance giant and its former chairman, Dr Josef Ackermann, 66, of responsibility for the tragedy on August 26. Ackermann resigned three days after Pierre's suicide, and when contacted by the Standard he gave no comment on events.
Pierre enjoyed his job at one of the world's biggest insurance firms, where Fabienne says he was known for his "gentlemanly, human approach". But during the last three months, Fabienne says, she and her husband had long discussions about the tensions he faced at work. "What had changed was that they had a new chairman who wanted to rapidly turn Zurich into a very profitable and attractive company for shareholders. This was at odds with Pierre's belief in the social role of an insurer. In November 2012 the pressure started to build up but it got worse. June was rather difficult, July was even worse and August was apparently unbearable."
When the Standard put this to Zurich it said Ackermann was elected to the board, was familiar with the company and "added his expertise in the international financial services industry and his experience to the group". Zurich could not comment on Ackermann's resignation but cited strong investor confidence and support for the company and its strategy.
It added: "A comprehensive review was conducted [into Wauthier's death], directed by Finma, and found no indication of any undue pressure." Finma told the Standard it does not comment on any statements made at the AGM. It confirmed two independent third parties conducted investigations into the matter.
A month before Pierre's death, the CEO of Swisscom, Carsten Schloter, 49, had committed suicide. Fabienne says: "Pierre and I had a conversation after we read the news about Schloter. Pierre mentioned that the family environment seemed really different [from ours]. It sort of resonated with him. He was asking, 'How could he do that to his family?' But it's a completely different situation — any parallel drawn is a risky business."
Pierre was born in London, where his French father worked as a journalist for Agence France-Presse. He met Fabienne when they were both studying at the Sorbonne. She says: "I thought he was gorgeous and that he was too young for me." Pierre went into investment banking at JP Morgan while Fabienne worked as a CFO and then a marketing manager. After the birth of their two children, Fabienne became a full-time mother as they moved around the world for Pierre's work.
She has fond memories of their time in London, from 1994 to 1996. "I loved it. We rented a flat near Kensington High Street, so I was in Holland Park every day with the kids and the squirrels. We would go to the theatre, concerts, exhibitions. Pierre was not the most romantic kind of guy but we were both intellectually curious. That was a strong point in our relationship."
Pierre moved into insurance in 1996. His wife says: "Pierre had a feeling that if he wanted to keep climbing in banking he would have to do things he didn't want to. His boss moved to Zurich and asked Pierre to join him. Zurich did, or does, have a reputation for being ethical and consumer-orientated, which was appealing to Pierre. He convinced me to move, although I hate the cold, by describing how meaningful it was for him."
In March 2012 Ackermann was appointed chairman. The Swiss national had been CEO at Deutsche Bank, where he presided over both record profits and the cutting of more than 14,000 jobs. "Ackermann had high ambitions," says Fabienne. "Pierre resisted building profit that in the long term might not benefit employees and customers."
Pierre met with the human resources department in July, who Fabienne says had been alerted by his team that he was under stress. "It did not reassure him. A lot of expectations, and how to defend the CEO's vision of company strategy, were heaped on him."
A Zurich spokesman has said: "It is a tragedy that we lost a valued colleague. Fostering our corporate culture and mutual respect must continue to take priority at all levels."
In August, Fabienne says her husband told her there was "a strong argument between Pierre and Dr Ackermann" over presentation of the company's half-year results. "Pierre said Ackermann wanted to say he was extremely disappointed with his company's performance. Pierre resisted and wanted to say there had been issues but they were on track. Why does a chairman want to announce disappointment so loudly?"
The spokesperson for Zurich says they had "no signs that point to a confrontation during this meeting". Ackermann and Pierre went to London to present to investors and analysts. Less than two weeks later, Pierre was found dead.
Today, Fabienne speaks of the dangers of a money-driven approach. "How sustainable is profit for profit's sake? In the banking industry, for instance,
I think we have seen that if you lose a human ethos you make huge wins in the short term and terribly bad losses in the long term. Not only in terms of people's lives and the social fabric around the industry; even in terms of results expressed in dollars. Cost-benefit analysis should not be the only way a corporation looks at ethics."
Fabienne does not know if she will stay in Switzerland; at the moment she is focusing on holding her family together. "It's complicated for children to hear their father has done that. I'm trying to respect and understand and still find a way to love him for what he has done."
She still wants answers and "an honest, human conversation about what happened", but she adds: "That's all the aftermath. What is horrible is Pierre's death."
"You leave your family in so much pain that I'm not sure [suicide] makes any sort of sense. If there is any executive considering suicide as the honourable way out to avoid possible humiliation at work, it's never worth it."

A transgender individual has a gender identity which is inconsistent with the assigned gender. Meaning, for example, someone may look like a man physically, but they feel and prefer to be female or vice versa.
An individual's gender identity is their perceived gender: what they recognize and feel themselves as. Transsexual individuals are generally the most known type of transgender individuals. A transsexual goes through surgery and hormone replacement to reassign their gender. After a few years, the transsexual individual will physically look like their chosen gender and feel more comfortable in their body.
A cross-dresser is often considered as a transgender individual. They explore another gender through crossing the traditionally drawn lines of dress, make-up, and behavior. But they generally accept and perceive their assigned gender as their true gender. Accepting the assigned gender technically does not make them truly transgendered.
Transgender individuals often struggle with their gender identity. This is why therapy, support groups and advocacy organizations are important for them. They often live in fear of discrimination and prejudice, so they often keep silent about their identities, and thus increase their emotional turmoil.
It is probable that you interact with a transgender individual without knowing it. Many are able to transition quietly into different communities after successfully medically reassigning their gender. This is why you must never be judgmental, as you could be judging your best friend. If you do know a transgender individual, be respectful of their privacy and avoid intrusive questions. Avoid the offensive term 'trannie' but if you must, only use the term 'trans'.

After the Great Fire of London in 1666, King Charles II commissioned the architect Sir Christopher Wren to come up with a new masterplan for the City of London. Wren toiled away and produced a design featuring wide boulevards and Paris-style grand plazas, which would be built in place of the old random jumble of streets.
What happened next? While Wren built dozens of magnificent churches to replace those lost, his plan to tidy up the street layout came to nothing, as those who had lost homes or businesses rebuilt on their old plots. His utopian scheme was thwarted by the bottom-up energy of London's traders and entrepreneurs.
This story tells us so much about the abiding character of our city. Now, in the same way as the citizens of 17th-century London resisted Wren's proposal, we're going to have to fight the Government's top-down imposition of an arbitrary immigration target that has absolutely no relation to what the economy needs.
As you might have seen, the Prime Minister recently pledged to reduce net migration in the UK to "tens of thousands" — a massive cut from the current level of 273,000 a year. Every industry will be hit hard as a result — the public sector won't be able to find the nurses and social care staff we need, while construction, finance and the creative industries will all suffer.
This matters for all of us. London has more knowledge-based jobs than Paris, Frankfurt, Berlin and Milan combined — and our economy depends on being able to attract the brightest and best from around the world.
According to a recent Deloitte report, we need an extra 150,000 people with knowledge-based skills every year — far more than the UK alone can supply.
And when it comes to entrepreneurs creating new jobs, here too you find that global talent is key. Almost half the digital businesses in London's Tech City were started by people born overseas — including Farfetch, Deliveroo and Transferwise. Unfortunately, the Government has no idea how companies will cope if thousands of skilled workers can no longer come here — or how visas will be apportioned.
As with most badly-thought-through policies, it's small businesses that will be hit hardest. They're the ones who can least afford to lose out on the smartest recruits — and who will struggle most to pay the crippling legal costs and fees of our bureaucratic immigration system.
No wonder most Cabinet ministers privately admit it's a terrible policy. It doesn't have to be like this. Of course the UK needs controlled immigration — but that would best be done with an Australian-style points system that means only workers with the right skills can come here, while avoiding an arbitrary cap on numbers that's totally unconnected to how the economy is doing.
As the Chancellor Philip Hammond said recently: "You will not find, if you walk around towns in Britain and ask people how they feel about migration, that they have a problem with people with high skills coming to the UK because they recognise that those people make a positive contribution to the UK economy."
He's right. The migration cap will do nothing except damage the economy and destroy jobs. London has always resisted this type of grandiose top-down scheme. This time will be no different.
From drains and dishwashers to being a true master of his art
The hottest ticket in town tonight is at the Barbican for the British premiere of American Style, the new work by minimalist composer Philip Glass in collaboration with Laurie Anderson. (It's such a hot ticket that it had sold out before I could get one. I'll be at home instead.)
Glass is now seen as one of the most influential artists around, but it was a hard slog to get there. Until he was in his 40s, he worked as a plumber and drove taxis, and wrote music whenever he had a spare moment.
In his autobiography, Glass tells a story about installing a dishwasher in Manhattan, and looking up to find the famous art critic Robert Hughes staring at him in disbelief. "But you're an artist," protested Hughes. "I explained that I was an artist," recalls Glass, "but I was sometimes a plumber as well and he should go away and let me finish."
So when someone comes over to fix your washing machine, look closely — it might just be the next musical genius of our age.

Manatee Awareness Month
Sometimes called a sea cow, this large aquatic relative of the elephant is usually found in shallow and warm coastal areas feeding on plants like sea grass. Unfortunately, the Florida manatee population is endangered, and these animals face a number of human-made threats. In November, as manatees search for the warm-water shelters once common along the Florida coast, we take this time to raise public awareness of the threats to these beloved but endangered sea creatures.

So yeah, I sided with Beast. Not in spite of Beauty, but because I wanted to be just and honest. Plus I was more interested in Beast than Beauty. Apparently I am part of a minority in doing that, since very few told Beast the truth, it seems. This apparently meant that no matter what reasoning I had in siding with him, it does not matter.
This choice, made as early as Episode 1 Faith, seems to function on a white knight basis. Side with the girl and you get nice things, side with the guy and you never hear the end of it. Beast barely does anything to express his gratitude or respect for Bigby's honesty. Even worse, Beauty refuses to let it go, ceaselessly bitching of how I have wronged her.
Is this what Telltale writing has come down to? A percieved "canon" choice? How railroady can you get with this mentality? Are there really only two paths in here, too? Redeeming Bigby and Asshole Bigby? Be a white knight and you are praised, be a bro and you receive nothing but insults? Why are they doing this?
Is the community seriously fine with this decrease in choice consequence quality?

Hot Topic
A week after playing as poorly as any Joe Gibbs team ever has in suffering their third loss in four games, the Redskins were in desperate need of a victory last Sunday night. A loss and they would have been 4-4 overall, 1-2 in the NFC East.
But the 17-10 victory over Philadelphia -- preserved by safety Ryan Clark's interception at the Washington 9-yard line with 1:32 left -- put the four-time defending division champion Eagles (4-4) in the NFC East basement and moved the Redskins (5-3) into the last wild-card spot thanks to their Sept. 19 victory over the Cowboys (5-3).
After going 4-7 in games decided by a touchdown or less in 2004, Washington is 4-2 in those games this season.
"If we lost, our backs were going to be against the wall the rest of the way," Gibbs said. "When you start winning some close ones ... you start feeling like you're going to win those."
What's more, Washington already has beaten division leaders Chicago and Seattle and is 5-1 in the NFC, losing only to the New York Giants.
"Maybe we'll look back at this game as a defining moment," said quarterback Mark Brunell, who bounced back from a dreadful performance in the 36-0 drubbing by the Giants to complete 21 of 29 passes for 224 yards and a 94.6 rating.
Next up is a game at Tampa Bay, which is reeling from a loss to lowly San Francisco followed by a blowout defeat at home against Carolina. The week after that, struggling Oakland comes to FedEx Field, where Washington is 4-0 this season and has won five in a row overall.
If the Redskins can build off the Eagles win and beat the Buccaneers and Raiders, they'll be 7-3 heading into Thanksgiving. The last time Washington was 7-3 was 1991, its last Super Bowl season.
After quickly falling behind 7-0 on the heels of the previous week's horrendous 36-0 loss at the Meadowlands, the Redskins had the resolve to score on their next possession, and 8:19 after that, they took the lead.
And when the Eagles tied the game in the third quarter, the Redskins came right back to retake the lead. That's the kind of resilience the boys in burgundy and gold hadn't shown since the Clinton Administration.With some good fortune (recovering two of their three fumbles and winning all three replay challenges), the Redskins put an end to their losing streaks (seven straight overall, five in a row at home) against the Eagles, holding on for a 17-10 decision at FedEx Field.
Player Notes
--LB LaVar Arrington, who four weeks ago didn't get on the field in Denver, replaced Warrick Holdman in the starting lineup against Philadelphia. Arrington tied DE Phillip Daniels for the team lead with six tackles.
--DT Cornelius Griffin was inactive against Philadelphia with a hip flexor, missing a game for just the sixth time in his six seasons.
--RB Mike Sellers scored against Philadelphia on a 1-yard run, his first rushing TD, and his fifth score in eight games this year. The five TDs equals Sellers' total from his previous five seasons.
--RB Clinton Portis went over the 5,000-yard mark for his career with a 15-yard run during the second quarter against Philadelphia. Portis finished with just 67 yards on 21 carries, but his 6-yard touchdown in the third quarter was the game-winner.--K John Hall played for the first time since pulling his right quadriceps in the Sept. 11 season opener. Hall kicked a 24-yard field goal and two extra points against Philadelphia. Three of his four kickoffs went at least as deep as the 6-yard line, but his first one went out of bounds and gave Philadelphia the ball at its 40.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz Half-Apologizes For Saying Republicans Like Jim Crow Laws
Democratic National Committee Chairwoman and South Florida Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz isn't very good at retracting statements.
Wasserman Schultz was on CNN Sunday when she said Republicans want to bring states back to Jim Crow-era laws, drawing the ire of the National Republican Congressional Committee.
She responded by saying it wasn't the right analogy to use, then immediately made the same analogy without mentioning the name "Jim Crow."
Here's what Wasserman Schultz said to CNN contributor Roland Martin on Sunday:
"You have the Republicans, who want to literally drag us all the way back to Jim Crow laws and literally-and very transparently-block access to the polls to voters who are more likely to vote for Democratic candidates than Republican candidates.
"Photo I.D. laws, we think, are very similar to a poll tax. Just look at African-American voters as a snapshot. About 25 percent of African-American voters don't have a valid photo I.D ... the reason it's similar to a poll tax is because you've got the expense. You've got the effort."

The NRCC released a statement in response on Monday -- titled "Wasserman Schultz will 'literally' say anything" -- calling the congresswoman's statements "absurd accusations" and "offensive remarks."
Wasserman Schultz' response came later in the day, and started off as a retraction of her statement: "Jim Crow was the wrong analogy to use."
Then she immediately reiterated her point that Republicans like voter-suppression laws that target minorities: "But I don't regret calling attention to the efforts in a number of states with Republican dominated legislatures, including Florida, to restrict access to the ballot box for all kinds of voters, but particularly young voters, African Americans and Hispanic Americans."
Hey, at least she didn't produce a revisionist history story that included Paul Revere warning the British.

I think it's a real shame how so many business owners agonize over the proper format of a press release. What's important about a document that is supposed to be both informative and persuasive is the content, not the layout.
Should it have some semblance of order? Absolutely. But that should not be the author's first priority, particularly when the great majority of them end up in one of two places: The recycling bin or an editor's deleted items folder.
It's not that assigning editors don't want news or that press releases aren't effective. They can be very effective when done right. But most are formatted in such a way that's counterintuitive to the sender's end goal. I can't tell you how many press releases I've come across that had more information about the company's founder or sponsors, than the event or service they were trying to promote.
That leads me to my list. Here are five things I hate about press releases.
1. They are too long.
2. They bury the lead, or put the most crucial information in the middle of the document.
3. They provide too many details.
4. They don't provide context or tell me why the event/subject is significant.
5. They can be too formal.
If you're guilty of even "one" of the above, you could be your own worst enemy. So before you send out your next press release, keep those five items in mind, and ask yourself what changes you can make to avoid the dreaded recycle bin and deleted items folder, at all costs.
