Architectural shingles are a unique roofing shingle that enhances a homes architectural appearance. Campbell Beard Roofing offers the top selection and styles of these unique shingles to homeowners. Sometimes called laminated or dimensional shingles; they are known for their ability to give a roof a three-dimensional appearance. This helps provide them with a dramatic and artistic appearance, which enhances the visual appeal of your home’s exterior. For this reason, this type of shingle is a very popular choice among homeowners today.
Architectural shingles have a unique design feature that allows them to avoid certain cosmetic problems. This includes the streaks caused by algae, which is often the result of moisture mixing with heat. Algae are a common problem in areas that are humid or known for large amounts of rainfall.
Beauty is only one quality offered by architectural shingles. They are also known for lasting longer than other types of shingles. The increased longevity is because they are made with extra thick, laminated materials. They are also tightly sealed with adhesives specially designed to keep the shingles in place. This helps them resist even the highest rates of wind, including winds up to 120 miles per hour, and other types of inclement weather ailments. This thickness and lamination also results in a high resistance to fire.
At Campbell Beard Roofing, we work with several manufacturers to supply homeowners with many options in architectural shingles. These include CertainTeed, GAF, Owens Corning, and Tamko.
CertainTeed offers architectural roofing shingles that resemble cedar wood shakes. These types of shingles are thick and possess the random slots found in genuine shakes. CertainTeed also offers a design that resembles slate. However, the shingles are not as heavy as slate, nor do they warrant the additional roofing shingles required by real slate.
GAF is known for designing roofing shingles that provide superior beauty with long-term protection. Certified with the Good Housekeeping Seal, GAK offers quality and performance. Their architectural shingles help homeowner’s go green by reflecting solar light and minimizing energy costs.

Straight Songs Of Sorrow
While seemingly keeping a low profile over the last decade, Mark Lanegan, of Screaming Trees, Queens Of The Stone Age, and countless other collaborative works, has simply refused to slow down. Releasing more solo albums in the last 10 years than any other period in his career, Lanegan’s latest record, Straight Songs Of Sorrow, is a creative and experimental collection, consisting of 15 songs, that serves as a companion to his recently released autobiography, Sing Backwards And Weep.
Opening with the electronically-driven “I Wouldn’t Want To Say”, it is clear that Straight Songs Of Sorrow is a departure from expectations one would have given Lanegan’s previous work. That being said, the combination of Lanegan’s gruff, raspy, and raw vocals with the electronic textures feels connected with alternative legends the likes of Perry Farrell, Richard Patrick, and Scott Weiland. “I Wouldn’t Say” is followed by “Apples From A Tree”, a stark track featuring simply Lanegan’s lyrical narrative and a a folky finger picking on a crisp acoustic guitar. The juxtaposition between just the first two songs is shocking, and while it makes for a slightly less cohesive feeling album, it sets the tone for Lanegan’s experimental songwriting to go forth without boundaries on Straight Songs Of Sorrow.
As the album continues, the contrast continues to build with a number of acoustic and electronic tracks. While this makes for an interesting listening experience, Lanegan is at his best during the more stripped-down moments on Straight Songs Of Sorrow. The sludgy anger of “Ketamine” in all its simplicity is fantastically dark and, at times, truly menacing. “Churchbells, Ghosts” is similarly haunting and surprisingly jazzy thanks to the light piano accenting Lanegan’s vocal melody while “Ballad Of A Dying Rover” is a lament of regret for the past and acceptance of the present. On top of these, “At Zero Below” with its chilling and cinematic strings, “Burying Ground”, and the Bowie-inspired “Eden Lost And Found” stand out as excellently written songs.
All in all, Straight Songs Of Sorrow makes for a solid addition to Lanegan’s massive creative output. There is a level of vulnerability, intimacy, and raw, unabashed humanity that give Lanegan’s lyrics a sense of reality along with some soul. Free of riffs, distortion, and largely beats, Straight Songs Of Sorrow has an abundance of integrity which takes the central role among the 15 tracks. It is because of this that Lanegan’s songwriting shines through in a deep range of human emotions.
SPILL ALBUM REVIEW: MARK LANEGAN – STRAIGHT SONGS OF SORROW


The Getty Center in Los Angeles are showing photographs by Robert Mapplethorpe in the exhibition “In Focus”, open from 23rd October 2012 to 24th March 2013. A trendsetting artist and provocateur, Mapplethorpe ranks as one of the most important photographers of the twentieth century. The exhibition encompasses displays of his early mixed-media objects as well as portraits, nudes and still lifes.
As a student, Robert Mapplethorp met, and fell in love with, the then-unknown Patti Smith. He became known to a wider audience during the eighties, portaying celebrities such as Andy Wahrhol, Peter Gabriel, and, of course, Patti Smith. His work includes scandalous nude portraits – which were a regular cause for public outrage. The artist’s excessive lifestyle involved drug use and an endless string of relationships with both men and women. Robert Mapplethorp died from HIV in 1989.

One of the most recognizable classic cars of the 1950s was the Thunderbird which was manufactured by Ford and released in 1955. The Thunderbird enjoyed one of the longest lines of car model in terms of lifespan having undergone a series of 11 design generations from 1955 to 2005 It was considered as a luxurious car in 1955 when it was initially launched.
The 1st era in the Thunderbird was established as Fords reply to Chevrolets preferred Corvette. In excess of sixteen000 units of Thunderbird ended up manufactured in 1955 by yourself.

This motor vehicle had a compact design and style developing only two-seats and tiny cargo house. It really is regarded as a sexy sports automotive that could be rivaled only by Corvette.
While it had been a progressive auto structure that became one among the pivotal reference level for your evolution of later-day sports activities automobiles the Thunderbird retained a traditional function present in almost all of its sister cars and trucks which was the rear fender skirt. The fender skirt gave the vehicle a distinct modern however customary start looking that set it in stark distinction towards the Corvette.
The next generation for the Ford Thunderbird was released in 1958 and had mostly departed through the model of its predecessor. It sported a more time hood that appears to appearance stretched back on the far conclusion within the vehicle tail offering the car a glimpse of straight and flashy impression. It however retained the standard fender skirt and also the forwardly protruding headlights. Youll find it had an upgraded engine the FE-series. In addition it had upgraded interiors that involved controls switches and ashtrays which have been a perfect motor vehicle characteristic for all convertible vehicles.
The Thunderbird is one iconic automobile from the 50s that should be forever immortalized in motion pictures and Hollywood. Focuser motor for 8 sct Auto Vehicles are the basic demand for todays living as we cant think about our life time without these autos. Motor vehicles have become considerably more than a luxury and have absolutely acquired the place of being a necessity in these times associated with advanced technologies and state of the art contrivances.
They have proffered us the comfort and has revived the opportunity of employing technology to it is best to ease our day to day chores.

However the gift of which technology proffered us the ability to procure so many motorized vehicles like motorcars automobiles as well as truck etc.

Kings Park Wildflowers 2
Title: Kings Park Wildflowers 2
Broadcast: 26th September 2015
Presenter: Trevor Cochrane
The gardens around Aspects of Kings Park, the café and restaurants demonstrate just how amazing these kinds of gardens can be and if you’ve ever thought of heading to Canberra or Holland to experience colour displays like Floriade, you might just rethink it after experiencing the colour show our own West Australian wildflowers put on here.
- Plants to look out for include the stunning Kangaroo paws, uniquely West Australian plants loved world wide for their free flowering forms. Our local emblem the red and green Kangaroo Paw tends to be best grown annual and readily from seed.
- You can buy them as seedlings in Sunnyvale punnets and treat them much like you would any normal flowering annual. They love sandy free draining soils and bright sunny positions.
- These plants are perennial which means they will live for many years in a home garden although some have been known in the past as being susceptible to black ink disease. However, the modern breeding has developed more robust plants able to withstand this disease.
- A new Kangaroo Paw to celebrate the WA Botanic Garden's 50th anniversary! 'Anniversary Gold' is a sunny yellow variety of Kangaroo Paw and will be blooming brightly at the John Forrest Memorial roundabout throughout September.
- One of the biggest mistakes people make when growing Kangaroo Paws is to think you treat them like bush plants and don't care for them which is totally untrue. As flowers finish, you should prune them off at the base as this will encourage further flower production and extended colour displays. They do appreciate feeding, a controlled release plant food and supplemented occasionally with an organic base liquid plant creates strong vigorous growth all year round for most varieties.
- If you want to have your own West Australian garden, Kings Park has a terrific opportunity to learn from a Kings Park Master Gardener for free. Every Wednesday between 10am and 11am at the Zamia Café, they offer the chance to learn how to create your own botanical garden at home in your backyard.

This picture is from an article called “The Rescuing Hug”. The article details the first week of life of a set of twins. Each were in their respective incubators and one was not expected to live. A hospital nurse fought against the hospital rules and placed the babies in one incubator. When they were placed together, the healthier of the two, threw an arm over her sister in an endearing embrace. The smaller baby’s heart stabilized and temperature rose to normal.
life is so beautiful.

Lismore trains winner while auction for Scott gallops on
GRAY Lismore gelding, Hope Island, returned to the winners list at Coffs Harbour yesterday.
The Daniel Bowen-trained five-year-old son of Casino Prince came from back in the field to utilise the cutaway rail to perfection for winning jockey Stephen Traecey.
Sky Thoroughbred Central's Gary Kliese called it a perfect ride, sneaking along the rail to take full advantage of the cutaway.
It was also a pickup ride for Traecey, who replaced Ben Looker, late in the day in the Sally Taylor Racing Benchmark 69 Handicap (1515m).
Traecey said Hope Island raced well.
"Took a beautiful run and the cutaway was a big help,” Traecey said.
Daniel Bowen was delighted.
"It was a nice ride,” Bowen told Sky Thoroughbred Central.
"Stephen could have gone a bit earlier but he was patient and waited and stuck to the inside.”
Hope Island has now won five of his 53 starts with 17 placings.
"He's been consistent,” Daniel Bowen added.
Has some ability but gets into trouble because of his racing pattern. Just had some bad luck, should have won eight or nine races.”
WHILE Lismore Turf Club has cancelled the fundraising auction luncheon for badly injured secretary Scott Jones, they are actioning off seven special racing packages.
Lismore Turf Club's Helen Sinclair said the racing package auction will go towards helping in the recovery their beloved and respected secretary.
"We have put together a list of the generous race day packages and are offering them under silent auction conditions,” Sinclair said.
"They are very generous and cover a range of meetings, especially The Championships.”
Sinclair said the Country Championships Final at Randwick, which has been donated by NSW Racing, is one of the packages, while four Hunter and North West Racing Association clubs - Scone, Muswellbrook, Tamworth and Moree - have donated packages to upcoming Cup meetings.
There are also great Caloundra and Taree Cup packages and a two-night stay to the Peninsular at Mooloolaba.
"The items are offered under a 'silent auction' system with bids to be submitted by phone or text message,” Sinclair said.
"Highest bidder will be notified by phone at close of bidding at which time payment by credit card will be required.”
All bids are to be submitted to Helen Sinclair on 0418 201832.
Bidding for all items close 10am Monday, April 2.

Missing in action: An FDA plan for postmarket drug safety
"There have been long-standing concerns regarding the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) oversight of postmarket drug safety." So begins a Government Accountability Office (GOA) report released on Wednesday that examines the steps the FDA has taken since making its own 2006 recommendations on the matter. In the eyes of many, the GAO's finding may be an understatement.
The GAO's main recommendation was that the FDA separate responsibilities between the Office of New Drugs and the Office of Surveillance and Epidemiology -- the first would approve new drugs, and the second would follow up on postmarket drug safety issues. When those approving the drugs in the first place are also responsible for tracking them postmarket, potential conflicts could arise, the GAO found. Those who approved the drug -- obviously finding it safe enough -- may find themselves in an awkward position if the drug is later found to be lacking.
There were other concerns, too, including limitations in the data FDA relies on to identify postmarket drug safety issues and the systems it uses to track such issues.So what has the FDA done so far? The "FDA is beginning to address previously identified weaknesses in its oversight of postmarket drug safety issues, but challenges remain," the GAO writes.
Still No Time Frames
Responding to the report, the FDA says it has taken steps to increase the responsibilities to the Office of Surveillance and Epidemiology (OSE), but it cannot fully transfer the responsibility until the unit has the resources and experience to accept it. The agency adds that it doesn't have a time frame for this transfer. The FDA did not immediately return calls from DailyFinance.
The FDA is also revising its program for resolving scientific disputes, plans to implement new data systems in 2010 and is increasing access to external data to assist with drug-safety decisions. But these moves haven't solved many of the problems yet, the GAO says.
The GAO wants the FDA commissioner to develop a comprehensive plan for transferring the additional regulatory authorities to the OSE that includes time frames and steps to ensure resources are properly aligned to allow the OSE to assume these responsibilities.
"No More Time Should Be Wasted"
And the sooner the better. Several cases have illustrated the issue of postmarket safety, the most well known being Merck's (MRK) Vioxx, which was removed from the market five years after it was approved because it was linked to heart attacks. In fact, the FDA later said it found that 27,785 heart attacks and sudden cardiac deaths could have been prevented if Vioxx hadn't been approved. Pfizer's (PFE) drug of the same family, Bextra, was also withdrawn. The situation was so bad The New York Times headlined one story FDA Failing in Drug Safety.
Labeling is another problem. Just in July, Pfizer and GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) were ordered to add a strong black-boxed warning on their antismoking drugs Chantix and Zyban to highlight the risk of serious mental health problems.
Senator Charles Grassley (R-Iowa), who requested the GAO follow-up, tells DailyFinance: "No more time should be wasted at the FDA in establishing independence for its postmarket surveillance. It's a matter of public safety. Just as everything possible should be done to introduce new lifesaving drugs to the marketplace, everything possible also should be done to rigorously review the performance of those drugs after they're on the market. The Government Accountability Office has provided a road map that ought to be followed."

Sodium oxybate, a drug used to treat narcolepsy, may improve excessive daytime sleep and sleep disturbances in patients with Parkinson disease.
Sodium oxybate, a drug used to treat narcolepsy, may improve excessive daytime sleep and sleep disturbances in patients with Parkinson disease (PD), according to preliminary evidence from a small study in Switzerland. The findings were published online on November 6, 2017 in JAMA Neurology.1
Patients with PD commonly experience sleep disturbances, for which few treatment options exist. A previous open-label trial suggested that sodium oxybate may improve daytime sleepiness in PD. While promising, the results were limited by lack of control group and the use of subjective sleep assessments rather than objective measures.2
To provide more concrete evidence, researchers conducted a double-blind placebo-controlled crossover phase 2a study at the University Hospital Zurich between January 2015 and February 2017. It included 12 patients (2 women, 10 men) with PD and excessive daytime sleepiness who were randomized to sodium oxybate drinkable solution or placebo for 6 weeks, followed by a washout period, after which participants switched treatment groups.
Sodium oxybate was taken according to the standard narcolepsy protocol, as a drinkable solution at bedtime with a second dose 2.5 to 4 hours later, and individually titrated to a dose of 3.0 to 9.0 grams per night. One patient dropped out due to an unrelated adverse event; 11 patients completed the study. Patients were evaluated with polysomnography in the sleep laboratory at baseline and at 6 weeks.
Key Results for the Intention to Treat Population (12 Patients)
• Mean sleep latency increased by 2.9 minutes with sodium oxybate versus placebo (P = .002)
• Slow-wave sleep duration increased by 72.7 minutes vs placebo (P < .001)
• Subjective sleep quality on the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) significantly improved (P = .001)
• Sodium oxybate was generally well tolerated but: 2 patients developed new obstructive sleep apnea; and 1 patient developed non-REM parasomnia
• there were no signs of abuse or dependency
The authors pointed out that 8 patients in the sodium oxybate group experienced clinically significant improvement of over 50% in mean sleep latency. Also, the ESS (Epworth Sleepiness Scale) score for subjective sleep quality normalized in 50% of patients on sodium oxybate. However, it was noted that the study was limited by small numbers and does not provide reliable information on safety outcomes, for which future studies are needed.
“Sodium oxybate may be a powerful novel treatment option for sleep-wake disturbances in PD. However, stringent monitoring is necessary . . . and larger follow-up trials with longer treatment durations are warranted for validation,” concluded first author Fabian BÃ¼chele, MD, of the University Hospital Zurich, Switzerland.
Take Home Points
• Results of the first double-blind placebo controlled study of the narcolepsy drug sodium oxybate show significantly improved sleepiness and nighttime sleep in patients with PD
• The study was too small to produce reliable safety results
• Larger, longer term studies are needed to confirm the results and provide more safety information

The Ukraine crisis has been a topic of global concern for years, with its repercussions felt far beyond its borders. But what are the root causes of this ongoing conflict? In this article, we will delve deep into the origins of the Ukraine crisis, examining the historical, political, and social factors that have contributed to this complex and enduring conflict. So, let’s embark on a journey to uncover the underlying causes of the Ukraine crisis.
The Ukraine crisis, which began in 2014, has been characterized by armed conflict, territorial disputes, and geopolitical tensions. To fully understand the root causes of this crisis, we need to dissect it into various components and explore the historical events that led to this point.
The Historical Context
The Soviet Legacy
The roots of the Ukraine crisis can be traced back to the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991. As the USSR crumbled, Ukraine emerged as an independent nation. However, the legacy of Soviet rule left deep scars. The division of Ukraine into east and west, along linguistic, cultural, and political lines, laid the groundwork for future tensions.
Crimea and the Orange Revolution
One of the earliest flashpoints in the Ukraine crisis was the annexation of Crimea by Russia in 2014. This move was seen as a violation of Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. It also reignited historical grievances dating back to World War II when Crimea was transferred from the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic to the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic.
The Orange Revolution of 2004 further exacerbated the divide within Ukraine. The disputed presidential election and the protests that followed revealed the deep-seated political and ideological differences in the country.
Ukraine’s strategic location at the crossroads of Eastern Europe makes it a coveted prize for major powers. The struggle for influence in Ukraine between the West, led by the United States and the European Union, and Russia has been a significant driver of the crisis. The tug-of-war over Ukraine’s alignment with the EU or the Eurasian Economic Union has intensified political instability.
Corruption and ineffective governance in Ukraine have also played a significant role in fueling the crisis. The mismanagement of resources, economic disparities, and a lack of transparency in the political system have eroded public trust and led to widespread protests.
Social and Cultural Factors
Language and Identity
Ukraine’s linguistic and cultural diversity is a double-edged sword. While it enriches the nation’s identity, it has also been a source of division. The east predominantly speaks Russian, while the west favors Ukrainian. These linguistic differences have created a rift in the country, contributing to political polarization.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How has the international community responded to the Ukraine crisis?
A: The international community has responded with a combination of sanctions against Russia, diplomatic negotiations, and humanitarian aid to Ukraine.
Q: What is the Minsk Agreement, and how does it relate to the Ukraine crisis?
A: The Minsk Agreement is a set of ceasefire agreements aimed at resolving the conflict in Eastern Ukraine. It outlines a roadmap for a peaceful settlement, but its full implementation has proven challenging.
Q: How have the people of Ukraine been affected by the crisis?
A: The Ukraine crisis has had a profound impact on the population. Many have been displaced from their homes, and the conflict has caused significant economic and social hardships.
In exploring the root causes of the Ukraine crisis, we’ve uncovered a complex web of historical, political, and social factors. The legacy of the Soviet Union, political maneuvering, and linguistic divisions have all played a role in shaping the current crisis. Understanding these factors is crucial for finding a path towards a peaceful resolution.
So, as the world continues to grapple with the Ukraine crisis, it’s essential to remember that the roots of this conflict run deep. Only by addressing the underlying causes can we hope to see a lasting solution to this ongoing tragedy.

High school student drop out sample essay
The increasingly high rate of school dropout is worrying all the stakeholders in the education sector including parents, teachers and the government. This is because these people are aware of the challenges that will face students who drop out of school. Although leaders have called on communities, families and schools to make efforts to ensure that students remain at school, the rate at which the students drop out of school is still high. It is therefore important that we analyze the problem with a view of understanding it better, so that we may know how to resolve it once and for all.
The number of students who complete school in the US has been steadily declining over the years. In fact, over the last decades, this figure has only increased in seven states. In ten states, the percentage of students who did not complete school was 8% or higher, which reflects a disturbing trend. US is currently ranked tenth among the countries in the world which have the highest school completion rates. When a country that is considered to be the superpower is ranked tenth on school completion rates, this shows that there is a major underlying problem.
Factors that contribute to the high school student drop out rate. Family cohesion and background. This is one of the major reasons why students drop out of school. Students who come from families where there is violence, abusive homes or poor parental relations have higher chances of dropping out of school, compared to those who come from stable homes. This is due to the fact that such children are more likely to have stress and depression because of the problems that they have. They are also likely to start abusing drugs at an early age, which may contribute to their dropping out of school.
Statistics also show that children who come from single parent families are also more likely to drop out of school than those who have both parents. This situation is linked to low self esteem as well as problems that children who come from single parent families face. Early pregnancy. Early pregnancy is a major challenge for young girls, and is a contributor to their dropping out of school. This situation is compounded by situations where the young girls’ families are not financially stable, or cases where the boy responsible for the pregnancy is either unwilling or unable to support the girl.
Many young girls who face this situation usually take breaks to give birth, but fail to return to school due to various reasons. The girls who are not financially well off are forced to drop out of school to take care of their children, while others fear going back to school due to stigmatization. School violence. This is a factor that is increasingly contributing to the dropping out of school by students. School violence has increased in the recent past, and takes various forms.
It might take the form of serious security breaches that involve use of deadly weapons, like was witnessed in the 1999 Columbine high school massacre (Rosenberg 2008). It may also take the form of bullying and harassment of students by fellow classmates. Both these forms of violence have the potential to create fear to actual victims, and may discourage them from attending school. In these cases, there is genuine fear for their lives and they may drop out of school. Employment. Poverty or general unemployment of members of the family may make students drop out of school.
This is because the students may be forced to work in order to support their family. In these cases, the students may not have adequate time to study due to the responsibilities that they have. Employment opportunities may not only be available to the students who are not well off financially. Some students come from financially stable families but look for employment opportunities so that they might save money. These students are also likely to drop out of school since it is difficult to work and study at the same time. Psychological or personal characteristics.
There are certain characteristics that students may possess, which may make them drop out of school at an early age. These may be either physical or psychological characteristics. Psychological characteristics may include low self esteem, mental illnesses, depression and stress, among other problems. In case students have these problems and they are either not addressed early enough, or these students lack learning facilities that accommodate their unique needs, they are highly likely to drop out of school. According to Kenneth (35-39), students may also face physical disabilities that hinder the learning process.
Such include blindness, deafness or other physical disabilities. If such students also lack facilities that can handle their needs, they are also likely to drop out of school. Substance abuse. According to David and Wayne (4-8), students who engage in substance abuse have very high chances of dropping out of school. Students who abuse alcohol or other hard drugs such as cannabis, heroin, cocaine or other drugs are likely to drop out of school. This is due to the disciplinary problems that they are likely to face in school as well as the fact that such drugs hinder the learning capabilities.
Such students are unlikely to perform well in school, and this has the effect of demotivating them. They are also more likely to face stress and depression, and all these factors work to increase their chances of dropping out of school. Perceived loss of value of school diplomas. The modern business environment has become very competitive, and this is attributed to globalization. Success in the modern world is increasingly based on merit and job performance. Employers are nowadays looking for very high academic qualification when recruiting employees.
In this regards, high school diplomas are generally perceived to have lost value, and students need to pursue further education so that they might get employment opportunities in this competitive business environment. Some students therefore opt to drop out of school and pursue other interests due to this perception. Such interests include drama, movies, modeling or the music industry. However, what most students are not aware of is that one has to have basic education in order to be successful in these fields. High school education acts as a platform for pursuing further education and building a career. Limited number of counselors.
Statistics point to the fact that the average number of students who are served by a single counselor is 500. In high school, the average number of students served by a single counselor is 285. These counsellors have many tasks to accomplish and have very little time to interact with students. According to Jill (311-317), students who are about to drop out of school may therefore not find someone to talk to and get advice regarding the situation. This is also compounded by the fact that most of these students have poor relations with their parents, since teenagers and parents usually have communication problems.
Students therefore opt to drop out of school due to lack of advice on the consequences of making this decision. Solutions to these problems. Counseling. Most students may reverse their decision to drop out of school if they are advised on the consequences of making this decision by someone that they trust. In most of these cases, counselors are the best people to advice the students since there are young counsellors who understand the problems that these students go through. The government should ensure that there are enough counselors to serve all students.
Sometimes students may be depressed and they only need someone to share their problems with. When they are unable to find someone, they take drastic steps like dropping out of schools. Counselors will advise students that education is very important for success in life. Safety. The government and all education stakeholders should also ensure that the school environment is safe for all people. There should be adequate controls that prevent and deal with security breaches, either involving deadly weapons or bullying. Some problems like bullying may appear to be petty and they are ignored in most academic institutions.
However they are serious problems that should not be ignored, since they have high psychological impacts on the victims. When students can feel safe in the school environment, they will look forward to going to school to learn. After all, these students spend most of their time in schools, and once they feel that they are unsafe, they are likely to drop out of school. Family problems. According to Gail (211-216), it is evident that family problems is a major factor that contributes to dropping out of school. It is a very sensitive issue considering that there is a limitation to which strangers may involve themselves in family matters.
It is however imperative that problems such as violence and abuse are reported to the authorities, and these will be addressed through the relevant laws. These problems cannot be condoned, since once students are not comfortable in their own homes, it will be difficult for them to concentrate in class and learn. Other family issues such as parental and child conflict should be addressed through dialog, either between the school administration and the individual families, or through counseling by qualified professionals. This dialog will enable the underlying problems to be identified and solved, so that the children may stay in school.
Early pregnancy. This problem is best solved by preventing the issue, rather than addressing it after it has occurred. The young people should be told about the consequences of early sex, especially unsafe sex. These students should be made to understand that in addition to the risk of pregnancy, there is also a risk of contracting STIs such as HIV/AIDS. However, one a girl becomes pregnant, she should be allowed to stay in school until the time to give birth, after which she is given a break. She should resume school after giving birth, as this is very important.
Counselors and parents should play a crucial role in guiding girls who are undergoing this experience. The government should also set up funds to help girls who are pregnant and do not have the resources to take care of the baby, and go back to school. Facilities for the handicapped. The government has a crucial role of ensuring that there are learning facilities that will take care of the needs of students who face either physical or mental disabilities. There should also be enough teachers who have been trained on how to take care of the needs of these students.
This will ensure that these students learn just like their peers, and that they have equal opportunities in life. Value of diplomas. The stakeholders in the educational sector have a crucial role to play in publicizing the value of the high school diplomas. There should be regular talks between these stakeholders and the students regarding the issue. Students should be made to understand that although the modern world has become very competitive, it is imperative that they obtain at least the high school diploma.
The reason is that the diploma acts as a platform in acquiring further employment opportunities and joining a profession. Employment. The government should enforce the laws that bar the employment of young people who are below the legal age. It should also hold regular forums with employers regarding employment of young people with a view of regulating the hours that they work. The employers should also be made to insist that young employees pursue education, since this will be the platform for promotions and advancement in the careers.
This will enable that the young people who work have enough time to study. Conclusion and recommendation. The stakeholders in the education sector should join hands in ensuring the the drop out rate drastically reduces, and that each child knows the value of education. The solutions to the problems that have been discussed above should be implemented, so that this objective may be achieved. Above all, students should be made to understand that the high school diploma is a platform for opportunities in life.

Palm Beach, FL (PRWEB) December 4, 2009
A new advertising medium for film and video has the potential to bring in billions in revenue for advertisers and producers with the introduction of EnContext Advertising(TM).
EnContext Advertising(TM) offers a commercial-free solution that allows consumers to purchase or get instant information on products or services they see as they watch a program on WEB-TV, broadcast television or on video. Advertisers will be able to promote products to consumers in a highly contextual environment allowing viewers to purchase an item they see in their favorite sitcom, reality show, live sports event, or movie the instant they want it.
These are not ads or pop up banners as currently established. Consumers will watch their favorite shows as usual but, for example, if a woman notices her favorite TV star carrying a cute bag, the viewer can point and click on the item and be taken instantly to the bag manufacturer’s Web site to purchase it.
“Television viewers often complain about intrusive advertising such as commercial breaks and the same is true for WEB-TV -- people have to sit through ads, banners and pop-ups,” says Jean Touboul, CEO of EnContext Media LLC. “EnContext Advertising gives viewers a choice by allowing them to choose which product or item they want to buy or learn more about. Advertisers love EnContext because they know that those who click on their ads are highly motivated buyers. In addition, since every click is tracked, advertisers can evaluate the performance of their advertising campaigns very effectively.”
The company has created prototypes of the system to show potential advertisers and film/video producers how EnContext Advertising(TM) works and brings in revenue.
EnContext is presently featured as Microsoft BizSpark’s startup of the day, promoting the company's solution and featuring an interview with EnContext's CEO Jean Touboul. EnContext Advertising(TM) also was featured in November at the Tech Venture Conference 2009 in Tampa Bay, Florida, and was a premier presenter at the 12th Annual Emerging Technology Business Showcase in Boca Raton, Florida.
About EnContext Media
EnContext Media’s new, patented advertising medium merges both video and Internet technologies by identifying items in a video frame and encoding these objects with advertising opportunities. Each encoded item becomes clickable as it travels through the frames of the video, and when a viewer clicks on that item, a request is sent to a database with the code corresponding to that particular item. The database matches this request with a link to one or many advertisers and, based on the business rules in place and the viewer’s geographic location, sends back the best possible match in the form of the advertiser’s Web page, or a list of options from which the viewer may select.
EnContext Advertising(TM) has commercial, informational and educational applications since the destination URL for any given item may be encoded to call a great variety of Web pages.
EnContext Advertising(TM) (http://www.encontextadvertising.com) is patent pending and is developed by EnContext Media, LLC. For more information, contact Jean Touboul at 561-306-8300 or via e-mail at jeantouboul(at)encontextmedia(dot)com.

Finance, Economy, Exopolitics, Spirituality, Corruption, Crimes against Humanity & other interesting readings for those who want to Wake Up. If you want to change the world, be the Change. "I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination". Jimmy Dean. "All Truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident." – Arthur Schopenhauer
(NaturalHealth365) As of March 11, 2021, an estimated 10 percent of the United States population has been “fully vaccinated” for COVID-19, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). We say “fully vaccinated” because it’s not yet clear how effective a COVID vaccine is, nor is it clear if officials will decide that additional vaccine doses are necessary (the Pfizer CEO certainly seems to think so).
The Facts:Data from the CDC’s Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) shows, as of today, 653 deaths reported after administration of the COVID-19 vaccine. It also shows 208 permanent disabilities and more than 10,000 adverse events, mostly in the U.S.
Reflect On:Should private institutions/companies have the right to mandate this vaccine for people and employees? When it comes to vaccines, should freedom of choice remain? Why is only one perspective presented by mainstream media?
The Facts:A new article published in the New England Journal of Medicine outlines why those injured by the COVID-19 vaccine won’t be eligible for compensation from the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) while COVID is still an “emergency.”
Reflect On:Is a COVID-19 vaccine requirement for travel, school attendance, employment and other freedoms, unethical? Should freedom of choice always remain? Does the vaccine have the ability to stop transmission and infection?
The Facts:Kara Krause wrote a Facebook post last year, in which she provides many insights into the deception and agenda behind the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, which awarded her $137,500 for the vaccine death of her daughter.
Reflect On:How many more children will have to die of vaccine injury before we are able to gain the collective will and power to implement proper science-based medical safeguards and practices in the delivery of vaccines?

The human trial of a made-in-Vietnam COVID-19 vaccine was conducted on 60 volunteers by the Vietnam Military Medical University in Hanoi on Thursday morning.
Developed by Ho Chi Minh City-based Nanogen Pharmaceutical Biotechnology JSC, the vaccine – named Nanocovax – already underwent animal trials and was assessed by a Vietnamese and foreign agency.
This is the first vaccine made in Vietnam to have been tested on humans.
A total of 300 people of different ages had registered to be volunteers on the vaccine test, with 60 people chosen eventually.
The 60 people were injected with three kinds of doses of 25 micrograms (mcg), 50mcg and 75mcg to find the optimal dose in the first phase of the vaccine test.
The volunteers injected on Thursday morning will be looked after in two separate rooms for males and females, which are monitored by three officers each, at the Vietnam Military Medical University in the next 72 hours following their jabs.
“When the volunteers return to their residences, we will coordinate with local health workers to ensure the sample is homogeneous and accurately assessed about the safety of the vaccine,” said Nguyen Ngo Quang, deputy head of the Ministry of Health's Administration of Science, Technology and Training.
The second shots will be injected on these volunteers 28 days later.

Do Quyet, director of the Vietnam Military Medical University, affirmed that his unit has prepared their best for the vaccine trial and is ready to respond to any adverse reaction in the 60 volunteers.
At the same time, Quyet reassured the volunteers that Nanocovax has a complete safety record in pre-clinical trials.
After Thursday's trial, the Vietnam Military Medical University will continue the second phase of testing Nanocovax on humans, with the expected participation of 400-600 people.
The third phase, anticipated to take place in August 2021, will be conducted on 10,000 candidates in Vietnam, Bangladesh, India, and Indonesia with the assistance of the Vietnamese Ministry of Health.
The vaccine is expected to cost VND120,000 ($5.17) per dose once it is officially allowed for mass production.
Nanogen said that it is capable of providing five million doses of Nanocovax every month.
After Nanocovax, the vaccines developed by the IVAC and Vabiotech are expected to have their human trials in February and March 2021, respectively.

North Sanpete girls basketball team rebounds with convincing 50-30 win
By Matt Harris
MT. PLEASANT—North Sanpete High School girls’ basketball team needed two tries to double their season’s win total, and they looked good doing it.
Despite a blowout loss to San Juan, 61-34, the Lady Hawks rebounded with intensity and rolled to a win against Grand, 50-30, their most convincing region win since 2017. Three North Sanpete players scored in double figures, with senior Aubree Ison scoring 17 points, and seniors Linzy Flinders and Tiffany Peckham each netting 16.
“The girls played very well against Grand,” head coach Taylor Christensen said. “They were aggressive defensively and offensively worked as a team to find the open shot. I challenged our point guard [Peckham] before the game to be more aggressive on both ends of the floor and she responded. We are at our best when she is being aggressive. [Ison] had a breakout game as well, hopefully her play will continue.”
North Sanpete’s winning effort followed a tough opener in Region 15 at the hands of San Juan, and though the Lady Broncos are a perennially tough squad that has not lost to the Hawks since joining 3A, North Sanpete generated some heat in the final moments of that game that carried over into the next game.
North Sanpete took that momentum and generated a steamrolling of the Lady Devils that all but ended the game by halftime, as the Hawks were up by 29 points.
“The second quarter was obviously our best quarter and where we really pulled away,” Christensen said. “We played great defense and that in turn got our offense rolling.”
In addition to her 16 points against Grand, Flinders also had an impressive showing with 21 points against San Juan in the losing effort.
The Lady Hawks have games against Emery and Richfield this week before hosting a rivalry showdown with Manti next Thursday.

Saludos Amigos is a 1942 film that utilizes animation and live-action scenes. It features Pedro, Papa Plane, Mama Plane, the Mt. Aconcagua, Goofy, Donald Duck, and José Carioca. Pancho may also make an appearance.
Employees at Walt Disney Studios tour South America, drawing along the way as they soak up South American culture, and telling us four stories: Lake Titicaca, Pedro, El Gaucho Goofy, and Aquarela do Brasil.
- Donald Duck and José Carioca first met in Brazil.
- During the events of Aquarela do Brasil, Donald carried a card with a black spade on one side and his information on the other side. The card indicated he lived in Hollywood. José carried a similar card which gave his home as Rio de Jainero, Brasil.
- The Pedro segment would be adapted into comic form twice, once in 1943 as Pedro and once in 1952 as, yet again, Pedro.
- In the 1943 version, the story of Pedro is shown to be a storybook that Donald Duck reads to Huey, Dewey, and Louie, implying that Pedro's adventures did not really occur in the Prime Universe and are simply the inventions of some storybook author. This version also has significant differences from the original segment in Saludos Amigos. Instead of making it safely and successfully to Mendoza, the 1943 story has Pedro struggling to make it Mendoza and, upon arrival, learns that he had forgotten to even bring the mail with him to begin with.
- The 1952 version is much closer to the original Saludos Amigos segment. The most significant difference between the two is the comic's inclusion of a character called Pancho, a buzzard and friend of Pedro's presumably based on the unnamed buzzard who appears briefly in the short film. While Pancho's design is clearly meant to call back to the buzzard in the original Saludos Amigos segment, the two play very different roles. The original buzzard just teases Pedro, leading him to Aconcagua. Pancho, on the other hand, is a close friend and mentor of Pedro's who actually helps him make his way home from the mail route.
- The canonicity of the Aquarela do Brasil segment is questionable, as it depicts Donald Duck and José Carioca as being painted into existence as opposed to being flesh-and-blood beings. Of course, it is worthy to note that this concept does fit with the concept of toons and Toon versions of both Donald and José appear in Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Thus, the argument could be made that Aquarela do Brasil depicts the births of Toon Donald and Toon José, not the flesh-and-blood versions of them who descended from others birds, not just a paintbrush. It's also possible that the events of the short did happen to the flesh-and-blood Donald and José, but that the sequences involving the painter are non-canonical and are a storytelling method rather than a concrete fact.
- The Three Caballeros (1944) is something of a sequel to this film. It is also a film that honors Latin American culture and uses Donald Duck as something of a symbol for the American viewer: eagerly learning and experiencing the wonders of Latin America. José Carioca also reappears in The Three Caballeros, and he already knows Donald, confirming that the film takes place chronologically after Saludos Amigos or, at least, the Aquarela do Brasil segment of Saludos Amigos, where Donald and José are shown meeting each other for the first time.
- Donald references the events of Aquarela do Brasil in Two Happy Amigos (1960), saying to José, "Hey, remember when you taught me the samba?"
- Legend of the Three Caballeros (2018) plays itself as something of a sequel to this film, seemingly taking place in between Saludos Amigos and The Three Caballeros. This can be deduced as Donald and José do not feel the introduce themselves to each other during the events of Dope-a-Cabana, yet Panchito Pistoles does introduce himself to both, indicating that the show depicts Panchito's first meeting of Donald and José but may or may not depict Donald and José's first meeting of each other. It would make sense that Donald and José met prior to Dope-a-Cabana as Saludos Amigos clearly shows them as meeting during the events of Aquarela do Brasil.
Behind the scenes
Saludos Amigos is based on the real-life tour Walt Disney and roughly twenty of his studio members took through South America. It consists of footage, narration, and some animation explaining the tour. In addition, four short animated stories or segments are used to portray various aspects of South American culture: Lake Titicaca, Pedro, Gaucho Goofy, and Aquarela do Brasil.

The woman who accused McCracken Jailer David Knight of retaliation and sexual harassment in a lawsuit is a “disgruntled ex-employee” whose termination was lawful, according to an attorney for Knight and the McCracken County Fiscal Court.
Danielle Wolfe sued Knight and the fiscal court in April, alleging that she was fired due to reporting concerns about medical misconduct and falsifying records during her time employed as a nurse at the jail.
In a response filed Tuesday in McCracken Circuit Court, Knight and the fiscal court denied many of Wolfe’s allegations and claimed they had no knowledge of other allegations.
Paducah attorney Stacey Blankenship, who represents Knight and the county governing body, asserted more than a dozen defenses, including multiple claims of immunity, good faith standards and failure to exhaust administrative remedies.
Wolfe claimed in her lawsuit that she was uncomfortable approaching Knight because she said he had been sending her unwanted sexual messages, but that she reported her concerns to supervisors.
She said the day she decided to talk to Knight about her concerns, which included claims that she saw staff falsifying records, she was fired for an alleged HIPAA violation.
In a brief statement Thursday, Blankenship drew attention to Wolfe’s not approaching Knight about her concerns.
“As a result, it is unclear how Ms. Wolfe can possible believe that her termination was retaliation for lodging concerns.”
Blankenship said Knight and the county “adamantly deny” Wolfe’s claims and blamed her motivation for filing the suit on her being a “disgruntled ex- employee.”

Bengaluru, May 17: The attempt by Congress-JD(S) to place judicial hurdles before BS Yeddyurappa's swearing-in has failed to yield results as the Supreme Court, post a midnight hearing, refused to stay the oath-taking ceremony of Yeddyurappa as the Chief Minister of Karnataka.
The apex court was petitioned by senior Congress leader Abhishek Manu Singhvi late on Wednesday, seeking a stay on the swearing-in of Yeddyurappa. The top court contended to the seriousness of the plea, agreeing to hear the case from 1:45 am in the midnight.
Although the bench declined to stay the swearing-in, it said the matter has "not been dismissed". "This petition is a subject of hearing later on," the court added.
With no immediate objection raised by the Supreme Court, Yeddyurappa will take oath as the CM at 9:00 am in Bengaluru.
The matter reached the apex court after the Karnataka Raj Bhavan issued a statement late on Monday confirming the invitation issued to Yeddyurappa to form the next government in the state. Governor Vajubhai Vala, in the statement, said Yeddyurappa would be provided a time-period of 15 days to prove his majority in the House.
The JD(S) and Congress, who have inked a post-poll pact, charged the Governor of acting in an unconstitutional manner. "Since we have the support of 117 MLAs, which is five more than the halfway majority mark, he (Governor) should had invited us to form the next government," he said.
"Is the 15-day time period being given for horse-trading," questioned JD(S) state unit chief and prospective chief minister HD Kumaraswamy. "My MLAs were offered Rs 100 crore today. Yet they didn't switch. But the question is: From where is the BJP getting this huge an amount to poach legislators?"
BJP, however, denied the charge of horse-trading, claiming the disgruntled members of the JD(S) and Congress have come forward to switchover. "After cursing each others for 10 years, the JD(S)-Congress alliance has disillusioned their party MLAs. We will have no problem in proving the majority in the assembly," said senior BJP leader and Union Minister Prakash Javadekar.
The BJP had won 104 seats in the elections held last week in Karnataka. The party is 8-legislator short of proving its majority in the House.


Read PepsiCo Chairman and CEO Indra Nooyi’s op-ed on PepsiCo’s recent decision to launch “All In On Recycling,” an industry-wide challenge dedicated to boosting residential recycling in America. The op-ed was initially published in Fortune on Wednesday, Aug. 1, 2018.
By INDRA K. NOOYI 9:11 AM EDT
As CEO of a global company, I do a lot of traveling. Every time I go abroad, I meet new people, absorb different cultures, and gaze in awe at the beauty of our extraordinary planet.
But in too many places, I also see something else: an alarming amount of waste by the side of the road, piling up in our cities and polluting our oceans. It’s deeply troubling, all the more so because it’s altogether preventable. Something has to change, and we can start here at home.
Over the past few years, recycling rates for aluminum and many common plastics have been falling in the United States. The result: 22 million tons of household recyclables are landfilled every year. In fact, studies show that almost 70% of all potentially recyclable plastic bottles in the United States end up in landfills, on the street, or in the ocean.
Have Americans given up on recycling? I don’t think so. Nearly three-fourths say they believe recycling is important and should be a priority.
More likely, Americans simply don’t know exactly how to recycle, or lack ready access to a recycling bin. At PepsiCo (PEP, +0.42%), we have been investing in recycling for almost 10 years through the PepsiCo Recycling Program and organizations like the Closed Loop Fund, committing a total of approximately $55 million to recovery efforts in the U.S. alone. We are also one of the largest users of recycled plastic in the U.S. In fact, if more were available, we’d buy it. But we recognize that these efforts are simply not enough.
That’s why PepsiCo is partnering with The Recycling Partnership on an initiative we’re calling “All In On Recycling” to reverse the decline in U.S. residential recycling rates over the next five years. Together we’re aiming to capture as many as 7 billion additional containers over that period, along with other recyclable materials from households across the United States.
And we’re challenging others to join us by making their own commitment to go “All In On Recycling.” As part of the challenge, the PepsiCo Foundation is investing $10 million in what we hope will become a $25 million industry-wide fund. In addition to the contributions from our industry, the more than 2,800 communities that participate in the initiative will triple our collective investment, catalyzing roughly $75 million in municipal funding, and bringing the total amount of support to $100 million.
That support will help 25 million families by providing critical recycling education and single and multi-family home recycling programs. And because every trash can should have a recycling bin by its side, we’ll offer curbside carts—a proven way to double the amount of recyclables recovered. The Recycling Partnership also estimates that by using recycled materials instead of manufacturing new ones, this collaboration will allow us to avoid emitting 5.5 million tons of CO2, the equivalent of removing more than 1 million cars from the road for a year.
Of course, what’s required to meet the challenge of recycling the world’s waste is more than a single partnership. What’s required are new ways of thinking, including working with policymakers on regulatory frameworks that can encourage recycling, and bringing together some of the world’s most brilliant minds to innovate our way out of this problem. We’ve been trying to do our part at PepsiCo by using less packaging material and investing in new technologies to meet the goal of having 100% of our packaging be recyclable, compostable, or biodegradable by 2025.
I’ve always believed corporations do not operate in a vacuum—we have responsibilities to the communities we serve. For too long, many companies have not met those responsibilities when it comes to recycling the products we make. If other companies are willing to join us and go “All In On Recycling,” that can change—starting today.
Indra K. Nooyi is chairman and CEO of PepsiCo.

US Open: Phil Mickelson takes one-shot lead into final round at Merion
Phil Mickelson will go into the final round of the US Open as the only man under par after a battling third-day 70.
Last Updated: 16/06/13 9:12am
Mickelson recovered from an uncertain start with three birdies on the inward half, although he bogeyed the brutal final hole to return a battling 70 and post one under.
Donald, Hunter Mahan and Charl Schwartzel all got to two under for the tournament only to fall victim to the treacherous closing holes on the East Course.
Hopes of a first English champion since Tony Jacklin in 1970 were raised when Donald's sublime iron play set up birdies at the eighth and 10th.
But he failed to covert delightful approaches at 12 and 16, and he bogeyed 17 before blocking his approach into a terrible lie at the last, where he hacked over the green and ran up a double-bogey six to slip to one over.
In the group ahead, Rose atoned for mistakes at five and six with birdies at the 10th and 13th only to bogey the last two as he matched Donald's 71 to lie two adrift of Mickelson.
The English challenge suffered a further blow when Ian Poulter, who got back to one over with birdies at six and eight, pulled his drive out of bounds at the 15th and double-bogeyed before dropping further shots at 16 and 18.
After a raft of high scores early on, including a 10 for Sergio Garcia at the 15th, Schwartzel made the first significant charge as he hit back from a six at the second with four birdies over the next eight holes.
But he was another to bogey the last two holes as he slipped to even par alongside Mahan, who charged into contention with four birdies in seven holes after the turn.
Like Schwartzel, Mahan had to settle for a 69 after a bogey-bogey finish, while veteran Steve Stricker managed to close with a pair of scrambling pars to return a 70 and remain at even par.
Despite referring to himself as "Fairway Phil" at the start of the week, Mickelson hit only three of his first eight fairways and dropped out of the lead with bogeys at the third and fifth.
But he refused to panic and responded with well-crafted threes at 10 and 11, and he converted a stunning tee-shot to the 253-yard 17th before falling foul of the 18th - where there were no birdies all day.
Billy Horschel remained in touch on one over despite a scrappy 72, although he fought back well from dropping three shots on the outward half.
Jason Day is a further shot back after taking some gloss off a 68 with a closing bogey, while Rickie Fowler matched the best round of the week with a four-birdie 67 to get back to three over.
But Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, playing together for the third straight day, tumbled out of contention and also suffered the indignity of being outplayed by Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano.
The world's top two both birdied the first before crashing down the leaderboard - Woods dropping three shots on four holes and McIlroy leaking four in five.
McIlroy's 75 left him nine off the lead on eight over, with Woods one further adrift after his worst round as a professional in the US Open.
LEADERS: -1 Mickelson; Lev Mahan, Schwartzel, Stricker; +1 Donald, Rose, Horschel; +2 Day; +3 Fowler. (+8 McIlroy; +9 Woods).

Nomura Research discusses the JPY outlook and likes long positions in EUR/JPY, and AUD/JPY into year-end.
"Four key events are likely to have a major impact on market sentiment and could significantly affect yen-crosses into the next week: (1) expectations that the weak second wave of COVID-19 infection in the US; (2) progress on economic stimulus discussions in the US; (3) developments between the US and China in the run-up to the video talks scheduled for 15 August; and (4) the possibility of a US Democratic vice presidential candidate announcement," Nomura notes.
"In this regard, even if market sentiment improves after the above risk events, the upward pressure on USD/JPY may remain weak. By contrast, if the Fed becomes dovish, it is likely that EUR and AUD will appreciate further against USD and JPY after market sentiment improves. Although the weaker second wave in the US and the agreement on economic stimulus measures will contribute to USD/JPY appreciation towards year-end, yen-cross long positions, such as EUR/JPY and AUD/JPY long positions, are more promising for the time being, in our view," Nomura adds.
