Meet the Dawn, Rolls-Royce's sexy new convertible. The model is called the Dawn, and it is definitely not your usual Rolls. Its contours are much more fluid, with the sides flaring out around the rear wheel wells. The front end is more rounded. It is powered by a 563 horsepower V12 engine.

The car shares much of its engineering with the Rolls-Royce Wraith, a two-door hardtop, but the body is almost entirely different. Prices are expected to start around $400,000.

The Dawn was unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show, and Rolls-Royce designers chose an exterior paint color, Midnight Sapphire, that mimicked the color of a nighttime sky. Inside, the leather seats were dyed in vibrant orange so that, as the top is lowered, the bright interior is revealed.

The Dawn's name harkens back the Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn, introduced in in the early 1950s as Great Britain was recovering from the destruction of World War II. Only 28 convertible Silver Dawns were built between 1950 and 1954.

As in other Rolls-Royce cars, the Dawn's doors open "backwards." They're hinged in the rear so that occupants step out through an opening in front of them rather than behind them as in most cars. Because that can make the car's big doors a little hard to close from inside, there are buttons that operate a door-closing mechanism.

"In creating Dawn, we have accepted no compromise to the comfort and luxury of four adults who want to travel together in the pinnacle of style," said Giles Taylor, director of Rolls-Royce design, in a statement.

Pains were taken to make sure the cloth top would work as quietly as possible. It can open and close at speeds of up to 30 miles an hour. The Dawn will not be the only convertible in the Rolls-Royce line-up: The Phantom Drophead Coupé is a convertible version of the Phantom.

Rolls-Royce's headquarters and factory are still in England but, today, it's a division of the German luxury automaker BMW.

There is a milk crisis going on in Europe that is threatening farmer’s income.

Russia has banned imports, Chinese demand is weakening and limits on production have been removed. The result: a huge glut of milk. There is so much sloshing around the European Union that milk is now cheaper than bottled water. A liter bottle of water costs around $1.50; a liter of milk $1.

The slump is a disaster for dairy farmers. Thousands protested in Brussels Monday, blocking streets with their tractors, and showering police with hay and eggs. While the price of milk in shops has fallen by around 5% this year, wholesale milk prices have collapsed by about 20% to around 33 cents.

That's forcing many farmers to sell their milk for less than it costs them to produce it. The EU said Monday it will provide farmers with 500 million euros ($555 million) in emergency support to help them cope with the plummeting prices.

Europe's dairy farmers were already reeling from the food embargo imposed by Moscow last year in retaliation for Western sanctions over Ukraine.

Russia was one of the EU's biggest markets for dairy products, accounting for 32% of cheese exports and 24% of butter exports. A slowdown in demand from China, the world's biggest milk importer, is also hurting the dairy industry. China is a big buyer of powdered milk.

Europe's farmers are now calling for the reintroduction of production quotas to try to balance the market. The quotas were abolished earlier this year, leaving farmers free to produce as much as they like for the first time in 30 years.

The deregulation led to more oversupply, piling even more pressure on prices. "Unless production is reduced, the market will carry on deteriorating at a pace," said Romuald Schaber, president of the European Milk Board, which represents dairy farmers.

Google has released a new version of Chrome that it claims will make your browser faster and give your laptop battery extra life.

Chrome is the world's most-used browser, but it isn’t perfect. All those nifty Chrome extensions and useful background apps take up a tremendous amount of your computer or smartphone's memory, slowing them down in the process. And Chrome guzzles power from your laptop or phone battery.

So Google sought to address both those gripes in its latest Chrome update this week.

To fix the speed issue, Chrome will now look for data no longer being used that's just sitting in your computer's memory. When the time is right, Chrome will take out the garbage (believe it or not, that's actually the computer science term for what the new version of Chrome is doing).

Google (GOOGL, Tech30) had already been doing some garbage collecting in previous versions of Chrome. But now, it will wait until Web pages are finished loading and completely idle -- then it will "aggressively clean up old, unused memory."

By waiting until a page is idle until it drops the hammer on unused memory, Google says that Web pages will perform faster. Previous versions of Chrome took out the garbage at random times, sometimes in the middle of an animation or video. (Ever notice an animation just stop for a second? Your browser might have been emptying the garbage.)

The new feature will reduce memory usage by 10% on average and up to 45% in some cases, Google said in a blog post.

Also, if you set Chrome to automatically restore the tabs you were using when you last closed your browser, Google will now check your system's memory before reloading all of your previously used tabs. That will save some of your system's memory too, Google said.

In addition to all the memory savings, Chrome will also spare your smartphone or laptop's battery consumption. By automatically pausing Flash animations that aren't crucial to a website's operations, Google believes it can save up to 15% of your battery life.

If this is the case and the Chrome upgrade will be as successful as Google claims, it can be a good time to invest in Google stocks.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel announced plans to spend an extra 6 billion euros ($6.7 billion) on refugees next year as thousands more migrants poured into the country over the weekend.

Merkel said on Monday that Germany will add 3 billion euros to the 2016 federal budget and provide another 3 billion euros to states and municipalities to tackle Europe’s biggest refugee crisis since World War II. The chancellor said “it’s not entirely implausible” that Germany will spend an extra 10 billion euros in total next year to handle the influx.

“We know that we were quick to save the banks,” Merkel said in Berlin. “I think we need to be just as quick in taking the necessary measures to ease the burden on the municipalities and states. What we are now experiencing is something that will change our country in the coming years.”

The plans for added funding comes as Germany and Austria spar with Hungary over the handling of refugees, with Hungary following a more hard-line approach to deter refugees. Austrian Chancellor Werner Faymann said on Sunday that his country will end emergency measures that allowed the passage of thousands of migrants over the weekend from Hungary without registering.

“I can’t repeat our message to migrants often enough: ‘Please don’t come because we won’t let you through,” Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said in Budapest on Monday. “New laws passed by parliament will change our border defense system. Illegal border crossing will automatically trigger imprisonment or expulsion.”

Here is what you need to expect at next week's big Apple press event.

Apple (AAPL, Tech30) will almost definitely upgrade its iPhones, likely introduce a new Apple TV, and maybe launch a large iPad Pro.

There's a rhythm to Apple's iPhone upgrades. In even years there's a big release like the iPhone the 6, 5, and 4. In odd-numbered years the device gets a bump and an "S" on the end, namely the iPhone 5S, 4S and 3GS. It's something to keep the line fresh but nothing so drastic to anger all the people who just bought the last model.

This is an odd year. Unless Apple gets crazy, it will likely release updates to the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus (iPhone 6S Plus?).

The big addition could be a Force Touch pressure sensitive screen, which adds new gesture options. Other possible changes include a new rose gold color option and a stronger aluminum shell (the same Series 7000 aluminum in its Apple Watch Sport). New phones will likely have an improved processor, more RAM, a 4K rear camera, and a better microphone.

Apple TV rumors spring eternal. It seems that every Apple event comes saddled with buzz of an Apple TV, but this time they (probably) mean something.

Apple is expected to finally release a new version of its set-top box on Wednesday. The biggest addition to the device would be Siri controls, allowing you to control TV, music and games with voice commands. A Siri button would be part of a powerful new Apple TV remote, along with s a touchpad and physical buttons.

An App Store for the TV is another rumored addition, as well as the opening of the Apple TV platform to outside developers, which could greatly increase channel and content options. Gaming could also come to the device in a big way, with downloadable games in the App Store and support for third-party gaming controllers. Inside, the Apple TV would get a significant specs bump, with a much faster processor.

Apple is expected to announce a new professional-level iPad aimed at the enterprise. The tablet would be as large as a laptop: 12.9-inches. It could have an ultra-high-resolution display, Touch ID fingerprint sensor, and possibly a stylus and USB port.

An iPad for enterprise would make sense for Apple. It's been working with companies like IBM (IBM, Tech30) and Cisco (CSCO, Tech30) to make iPhones, iPads and computers appealing to retail, research, and corporate clients. Long before it tried to sell smartphones as business devices, workers were bringing their own iPhones to the office.

Donald Trump vows that if he's elected president, he would "be the greatest jobs president that God ever created."

One of the main reasons Trump cites is that he's a businessman. He has already created jobs, he argues, so he'll do it on an even bigger scale as president. So how many jobs has Trump created as a businessman? Analysis calculates said that at least 34,000 jobs are attributed to Trump.

It's not the most straightforward calculation. His company, The Trump Organization, is private, so it does not have to disclose information publicly about how much money it makes or how many people it employs. His campaign didn't give a specific figure either.

According to PrivCo, the Trump Organization has 22,450 employees and brought in $9.5 billion in annual revenue last year. But that's not the whole picture. There are likely other jobs that might not exist without Trump. Economists call this the "multiplier effect."

New York's Broadway shows are a good example. Visitors who come to see shows, may stay at least a night or two at New York City hotels and spend money at restaurants and stores. So any analysis on the economic and job impact of Broadway takes into account more than just ticket sales and employment of actors, singers and stage hands.

The same holds true for Trump's resorts and hotels. The state of New York says that "leisure and hospitality" companies like Trump's typically have a 1.5 multiplier effect. Using that multiplier, the Trump Organization is responsible for about 34,000 jobs.

This is a rough estimate. There are arguments to be made that it should be higher or lower. Trump has acquired some existing properties, so one could argue he didn't create those jobs.

On the plus side for Trump, his name appears on many businesses he doesn't fully own, and he's been part of a successful television franchise with "The Apprentice" on NBC. It's possible to argue that he should get credit for some jobs in those ventures as well, even if they weren't part of the Trump Organization. 

A more generous estimate would be to view the Trump Organization as a financial services or management company. Then the employment multiplier would be 3. That would bring jobs attributable to Trump to 67,000.

Friday is a big day for the U.S. economy. We will find out how many jobs America's economy added in August and whether wages are finally growing.

But this time the news goes beyond jobs and wages -- a big decision looms in less than two weeks for America's central bank, the Federal Reserve. And it seems to be coming down to the wire, where the jobs report could be the deciding factor.

"It should weigh heavily on the Fed's decision in that meeting," says Sal Guatieri, senior economist at BMO Capital Markets. "This report takes on elevated significance."

The reason is that the jobs growth would confirm the view that the U.S. economy is recovering nicely and strong enough to withstand higher interest rates. The stock markets are extremely jittery right now because of concerns over China's economic slowdown and its effect globally. So the Fed could raise rates on September 17 and potentially risk creating even more volatility in global stock markets.

Or the Fed can wait and hope -- with no guarantee -- that things will be calmer in a few months when it meets in December. Experts are split. Some say a rate hike is coming in September while others say the Fed will wait. "My sense is that the Fed will raise rates" in September, says Peter Boockvar, chief market analyst at the Lindsey Group.

However, others feel differently. Barclays economists say a rate hike won't come until March of 2016. "September liftoff is pretty much off the table at this point," says Jesse Hurwitz, a Barclays economist.

The uncertainty only adds significance to the jobs report on Friday.

If the jobs number is good tomorrow -- say north of 200,000 jobs -- it could clear the way for the Fed to justify a rate hike. If it's bad or mediocre, then the path to a rate hike become more clouded.
