After a drop in ratings in 2017, Channel 5 boss Ben Frow stated that he would like to take Big Brother UK off of the air. The summer's civilian series fell at an all-time low average at less than one million viewers a night where most of the viewers watched Channel 4's Love Island. “A year ago, everyone was saying 16-34s aren’t watching television. Love Island has proved that if you get the right programme, they will come", said Frow. “I’ve got Big Brother on the channel which is, you know, decline decline decline. Still a useful programme. But this is a really good time for me to take a step back and look at a programme that was the be all and end all for our 16-34s and go, what are we gonna do?” Richard Desmond head of the channel when executives decided to revive the format back in 2011 after Channel 4 canceled the series. “That was a contract that was there before I came,” said Frow. “I would be much happier with a channel that did not have Big Brother on it.” However, Frow would go on to say that he did, in fact, enjoy the rating boost that Big Brother brought to the channel. Back in 2013, he said at the Guardian Edinburgh International Television Festival that “Big Brother’s very important, I think it was genius, genius, genius of Channel 5 to take it. My only concern about it is that it’s such a big beast, and we need to manage the big beast because we can’t become over-reliant on it". After the twentieth celebrity series, it was revealed that Big Brother ratings were the highest for the network.
It was initially announced via the press that the producers would be planning an all-female cast for the one-hundredth anniversary of the Representation of the People Act 1918. The Act would allow women the right to vote in the United Kingdom. Producers stated that they were going to change their casting archetypes by casting more opinioning women rather than the recent stint of reality stars and models.
The casting twist was later revealed on December 4, 2017, with an all-female launch. However, men will be introduced after a predetermined time. Channel 5 released a statement saying:
"In January 2018, as the nation marks 100 years since women won the right to vote for the very first time, Celebrity Big Brother launches this series with an all-female cast of celebrity housemates in a salute to a centenary of women’s suffrage on Channel 5. Presented by Emma Willis, Celebrity Big Brother will initially explore how the all-female housemates interact, from politicians to performing artists, as they enter the house first, ahead of the celebrity male housemates. Over the course of the series, as the male counterparts enter the house, the housemates will take part in a series of entertaining tasks and hidden experiments which will test their – and our – assumptions, challenge gender stereotypes and reveal fascinating truths about what it is to be a woman – and man – in the 21st century. See what happens when women hold the power, as Celebrity Big Brother January 2018 is set to be celebratory, surprising and insightful."
The eye was revealed on December 5th by Emma Willis. The eye is a human eye with a multicolored pupil. This is the first time that a Channel 5 eye has been based on a real eye. This is also first time since Celebrity Big Brother 7 (UK) to be based on a real eye.
It was announced by sponsor Pink Casino that the house design would be all pink to celebrate the women's theme. Pink Casino later removed the page. However, this rumor was debunked when the house pictures were released.
The house pictures were released on December 18th revealing a classic looking house with a subtle cozy theme.
Sponsor Pink Casino announced along with the house design that the theme would build off of gender stereotypes. They released a statement saying:
"Over the course of the series, once the female and male housemates are in the house, Big Brother has a lot of entertaining tasks and hidden experiments to say the least, to test them and challenge gender stereotypes for a big reveal in what it is like to be a woman or a man in the 21st century. See what happens when women hold the power as this Celebrity Big Brother is certainly going to be surprising and insightful so make sure you’re ready to tune in!"
The show's ticket distributor ApplauseStore announced that the launch would only feature females stating:
"This year, to celebrate 100 years since women won the vote, Celebrity Big Brother kicks off with an all-female house! To mark the occasion, we are looking for women to pack our launch night audience.
We’re looking for females from all walks of life, all professions and with a diverse mix of interests! If you’re interested in joining our strong female audience then request your free tickets to join us now!"
Possible Name Change
Prior to Rachel Johnson leaking in her column that she would appear on the show, she stated that producers were going to temporarily rename the show "Big Sister" due to the all-female twist. She said, "It was because this one said that the new series was all about female empowerment and 100 years since women got the vote. It was going to be called Big Sister."
- All-Female Launch: Similar to Big Brother 8 (UK), the season launched with an all-female cast with men introduced later in the series.
- Late Men Entrance: Also similar to Big Brother 8 (UK), the men will enter later in the series.
- Women vs. Men: In relation to the season's theme about gender, the male and female housemates will compete in a series of tasks in order for them to stay in power over the opposite gender. The winning team would have the power to nominate, while the losing team would lose their rights to nominate.
- Face to Face Nominations: Face to Face Nominations happened twice in the series, the first nominations were for females only, face to face, where they could nominate both men and women. The second occasion was during the Wilderness Week where the winning squad had the power to nominate. Just like the first one, they could also nominate both men and women.
- Backdoor Eviction: A special eviction twist that happened on Day 20, the winning team would have to pick among the losing team's members on who they wanted to evict. The chosen housemate to be evicted will then be leaving the house similar to an "ejection" manner rather than the usual eviction manner.
- Save and Replace: The winner of the save and replace task will be able to save one nominated housemate and replace it with another.
- Triple Eviction: On Days 25 & 29, three housemates were evicted rather than the normal or double eviction.

President and ex-bishop hit by three paternity suits
More mothers may be waiting in the wings as saga stuns Paraguayans
In Paraguay, the joy of the daily soap operas, or telenovelas, has been paling recently beside the goings-on at the official residence of President Fernando Lugo. His is indeed an unusually gripping saga that seems to acquire new cast members with every passing day. Some have speaking parts. Others burp and gurgle.
It was shocking enough when the first woman stepped forward asserting that she had had a child with President Lugo, 57, who assumed power on a wave of popularity just eight months ago. It is worth bearing in mind that before running for president he was a prominent Catholic bishop.
The President not only acknowledged the truth in the startling claims of Viviana Carrillo, 26. According to local media reports, he even opened his palace to her and the child, who is now almost two. Seemingly, they are settling in well. The child has even adopted his name.
But before the country knew how to react – it is at once overwhelmingly Catholic but is also a macho society that may consider the procreational activities of its leader a sign of fortitude – two more shoes or, rather, babies, dropped. A second purported mother of a Lugo child vowed to file a paternity suit against him on Monday. And yet another woman popped up on Wednesday with more Lugo offspring.
A single transgression might be seen as a forgivable error; three mothers and three babies emerging in two weeks could spell more serious trouble for President Lugo. He has already cancelled a long-planned visit to the United States and this week completed a cabinet reshuffle that most saw as an attempt to divert attention from nursery matters.
"I recognise that I fathered a child," he said in a press conference after the first revelations were spilled by Ms Carrillo who says she was 16 when the relationship with him started. He added that he would "assume all responsibilities". About the other two women and their claims he has remained silent. Not so silent are the country's opposition leaders and commentators. While his Lotharian energies might insult the more devout Catholics in the country, his critics point to the broader issue of his trustworthiness. He never admitted parenting any children during the election campaign.
Claudio Paolillo, an editor on the Nacion newspaper, noted "it's legitimate that Paraguayans ask if when the President speaks he is telling the truth," adding: "If he was capable of hiding, concocting facts and lying about nothing less than his condition as a father, why would he not 'sin' again... about other things related to his term. How many more children does the President have that he has not yet admitted?"
Speculation is swirling that still more women may be waiting in the wings to make similar claims. "We are in the phase of initial incredulity about these announcements," José Luis Simón, a political analyst, journalist and critic of the President, told the Washington Post. "We have begun to see a process of deterioration of the popular support of this President... All this has set off very serious questions that put Paraguayan democracy at risk."
The Church is also coming under scrutiny amid speculation that it turned a blind eye to violations by the former bishop of his vows of chastity. "The Church hierarchy knew for years of this misconduct," Bishop Rogelio Livieres told Paraguayan radio on Tuesday. Mr Lugo became a bishop in 1994 but offered his resignation as bishop in 2004. It was not accepted by the Vatican, however, until last July.
The second of three woman, Benigna Leguizamon, is a former soap saleswoman who worked in Mr Lugo's diocese in 2000 when she was 17 years old. The son she claims was conceived with him was born in 2002. "The monsignor gave me his support but took advantage of my great need and induced me to have relations," she said.

|Royal Navy Merlin Mark 2. Photo: Royal Navy
[Avionics Today 05-29-2015] Lockheed Martin, which act as the United Kingdom Ministry of Defense’s prime contractor for the Merlin helicopter, has selected a new generation of the Thales Searchwater radar and Cerberus mission system to be fitted to specially adapted Merlins. The new system will provide the Navy with an Airborne Surveillance and Control (ASAC) capability.
The fleet of Merlin helicopters will replace the Royal Navy’s outgoing Sea King Mark 7 ASAC force, which is fitted with an earlier version of the Searchwater and Cerberus systems. The new capability will enter operational service in 2018 when the last of the Sea King ASaC helicopters are retired.
Thales’ solution looks to maximize the re-use of the Ministry of Defense’s existing investment in equipment, training and expertise by upgrading, updating and adapting a battle-proven capability, ahead of operational timescales. Improvements to the Royal Navy’s new system include enhanced performance and data processing, as well as the addition of new modes to the multi-mission radar. An improved human-machine interface, reduced weight and built-in training features have all been designed to future proof the system. It will also be capable of being fitted to both rotary and fixed-wing platforms.

ST. LOUIS – Are you addicted to your smartphone? Always sending texts, using apps and checking email?
Do you have pain between your shoulder blades and in your upper back and neck? If so, you might be suffering from "text neck." While not an official medical diagnosis, it broadly describes the pain that can occur when our heads and shoulders lean forward when checking our phones
It's becoming more common as we spend more time on our devices, and that's especially true in adolescents.
Dr. Jason Wibbenmeyer from Innovative Health Partners in Webster Groves treats patients with "text neck" by offering chiropractic adjustments and lifestyle changes, such using the full range of motion of our eyes instead of moving our head and limiting the amount of time we spend on our phones and tablets.

Tiny Island Survival is an interactive game in which players have to explore a mysterious island filled with deadly creatures. With the various stories and interesting characters that will slowly populate this mysterious island, the game is more vibrant and successful than ever [February-14-2023].
During the whole island, strange, yet wonderful things will periodically appear all over every player. These objects will sometimes be useful for your character and sometimes not. When you are on one of these islands, you need to use your lantern to see everywhere. If you do not have lanterns, your other option would be using torches.
table of content
The whole Tiny Island Survival revolves around a simple control system. You move your character by clicking on the left mouse button or the right mouse button depending on which position you want him to be in. The further you are from the objects in front of you, the higher your movement speed and health will be. Using the mouse wheel will scroll up and down the levels and it will also zoom in and out.
Tiny Island Survival has a unique take on the zombie-killing game. Instead of the usual object-clearing strategy, you will need to protect yourself from being attacked by a swarm of zombies who seem to be immune to any weapon except the sun’s ray.
There are four maps in total, namely, Tiny Island starting area, Tiny Island Hills, Tiny Island Labs, and Tiny Island ending. Each map is quite varied, offering unique challenges to your level of play.
This Tiny Island Survival has an excellent control system that allows you to easily play through the entire game and complete the quests whenever you feel like doing so. The control system is very easy to learn and implement. It enables you to aim weapons, attack other zombies, and perform other activities without taking much time at all.
When you first start playing the game, you are shown a video tutorial to help you get used to the controls. However, if you find that the video tutorials too basic for you, there are several in-game manuals available that provide complete instructions and tips.
The Tiny Island Survival has an extremely thrilling storyline, which deals with a nuclear war between the U.S. and Soviet Union. In order to save the earth, you have to build a raft that will take you and several other survivors to an island where they can survive the nuclear war and return back to the mainland.
The background music is extremely catchy and adds to the exciting atmosphere of the game. The Forest mod has also added some incredibly captivating features to this version of the Tiny Island Survival, namely, a massive amount of trees that can be felled, along with a number of animals such as pigs, rabbits, deer, and squirrels, which provide food and shelter for the characters.
However, while the mod may look quite exciting on its own, the real strength lies in the additions and content that can be downloaded from the official site, once you’ve purchased and installed Tiny Island Survival Mod. To begin with, the mod offers you the ability to create your very own farm.
The farm allows you to gather resources such as wood, eggs, nuts, vegetables, and fish, as well as collecting precious metals, gemstones, and silver coins. Once collected, these resources can then be sold to any merchants in order to make extra money. Additionally, once you’ve crafted enough farms, you can eventually build massive hotels which provide shelter and security to your character, as well as awarding them gold coins upon completion.
Play as a monster
The Forest Mod also gives you the ability to play as a monster, meaning that you will have to face off against a horde of enemies, including troll, cave hyena, cave dweller, cave dragon, and much more. You are required to eat food provided by villages which can be collected by killing monsters, or by destroying enemy structures using explosives.
Additionally, if you become weak you are able to quickly regain lost health by recovering health packs scattered throughout the maps. As you progress through the mod you are allowed to craft improved weapons and armor that can help you fight even more difficult opponents. In the final part of the game, you are required to complete the temple, defeat the final boss, and move on to a new island where you will find a mysterious chest containing items that can help you in your adventure.
Despite being one of the most popular mods for the iPhone, this one has not received much attention from Apple as of yet. Tiny Island Survival does however, provide a fun and exciting experience for any iPhone user who wants to try their hand at survival on the island of survive.
The best news is that the Survival Guide provided with the mod has been developed by an independent iPhone gamer, allowing all users of the iPhone to enjoy the mod without having to pay for the premium version of the iPhone application. It is therefore available to everyone who has downloaded the free iPhone application and enjoys playing Tiny Island Survival whenever they want.

DoT survey shows call drops problem persists
The DoT, which conducted the survey by automated call service between December 23 and February 28, 2017, to obtain direct feedback from subscribers, said about 2,20,935 subscribers participated in the survey, out of which, about 1,38,072 (62.5%) have reported call drops.
“From the feedback it has been observed that the problem of call drops is more severe indoors. The feedback is shared with the Telecom Service Providers (TSPs) every week for taking action in a time bound manner. The TSPs have set up an elaborate mechanism for using the IVRS feedback data sent by DoT,” said a statement.
The DoT’s automated call service, or Integrated Voice Response System (IVRS), made over 16.61 lakh calls to subscribers of all telecom service providers across the country, the statement added.
Telecom firms are submitting action taken report (ATR) to Task Force constituted by the DoT every fortnight. Besides, the Task Force is also meeting with the TSPs once every month to discuss various issues related to the IVRS system.
The DoT claimed that it is taking a number of steps to address the call drops problem and telecom service providers have installed about 2,12,917 additional BTSs (Base Transceiver Stations) across the country during the period from June 2016 to February 2017, the statement said.

Presently, waste management system is not as effective as it ought to have been taken over the progressions in the advances and technologies that emerged in the current years. Smart Waste Management System is to implement a smarter way of conventional waste management using smart sensors to gather fill-level data, presence of garbage around the dustbin and stinking condition from containers and garbage bins, and send it to servers in real time.

Seal die; steel; silver mount with foliate scrolls containing a three-sided die; faces engraved: a) portrait head of Henry Sacheverell (1674-1724?), inscribed: b) head of Queen Anne, inscribed: c) monogram. With wax impression.
- Production date
Height: 41 millimetres
- Curator's comments
- This seal was intended for use by an official of Magdalen College, Oxford, during the period from 1708, when Sacheverell became a Doctor of Divinity at Magdalen, and his death in 1724. Henry Sacheverell preached against the Whig ministry and Dissenters in his celebrated St. Pauls Sermon of 1709. This led to his trial in 1710.
See also four medals relating to Sacheverell : M.8111 and 8112; 1906,1103.370 and G3,IP.1012, and a stoneware figure of Sacheverell of (1919,0503.44).
The following information kindly supplied by Prof. Brian Cowan, Canada Research Chair in Early Modern British History, McGill University, Dept. of History, Montreal:
For a reference in the British Library to letters being sealed in wax with Sacheverell's head in the 1740s, see Add. MS 88475E, (unpaginated). Apparently the bibliographer Francis Falconer Madan had in his personal collection a "document sealed with 3 Sacheverell seals. Apparently a private transaction, not directly concerning Sacheverell, dated 1740." Three further documents are held in the Somers Cocks papers at the Surrey History Centre (references 371/6/34a-c). They include a lease, release and bond of 1740 in which evidence of use of the Sacheverell seals exists. For further details see:
The late date of these seals indicates that the use of Sacheverell's image remained common for many decades after his initial notoriety and indeed after his death. No other seal-dies with Sacheverell's head have so far been recorded. The pairing with Queen Anne's head is also interesting, as Sacheverell was more often portrayed as a defender of the church rather than the crown.

Colin Gibbs of GigaOm thinks that Microsoft’s Mobile Gaming Strategy is a mistake, he cites that Microsoft will be bring “twitch” games like “Halo” which don’t make sense on mobile… I think that’s a little presumptuous, I think Microsoft’s focus on integrating Xbox Live games with Windows Mobile 7 is a brilliant move and Colin discounted the game database that Microsoft has and it’s ability to bring in games that mobile gamers would love.
Tomi Ahonen points out in his analysis of iPhone Economics that “most paid iPhone apps are games”, this reveals that decent quality games are a big hit with people and they are willing to pay for them so Microsoft’s focus on mobile gaming is a smart move.
In one of his keynotes, Steve Jobs said that one of the big differentiators for iPhone is that it plays full games, not miniaturized “baby” games like other Smartphones. Microsoft will up the ante on this by even better games and an integrated experience, besides, it is a distinctive feature that competitors can’t duplicate.
With the Xbox Live integration Microsoft will tap into an already existing set of users, plenty of whom looking for new ways to boost their game scores, and this could give them an opportunity to do so while they’re away from their consoles at home. I’m sure Microsoft is acting on a bunch of strategies around their phone and mobile gaming is just one of them, but if they can pull off something compelling with their Xbox Live support on the phone, it could be a big win for them.

Ex-Florida congressman Pete Peterson intends to resign as ambassador to Vietnam and challenge Gov. Jeb Bush.
By TIM NICKENS
© St. Petersburg Times, published May 23, 2001
Pete Peterson, the ambassador to Vietnam and a former member of Congress from North Florida, will resign his ambassadorship in July and return to Florida to prepare to run for governor.
Peterson told U.S. Sens. Bob Graham and Bill Nelson, state Democratic Party leaders and other allies about his plans in a series of telephone calls from Vietnam that continued on Tuesday. Before those calls, the former prisoner of war informed Secretary of State Colin Powell last week that he intended to resign and return to Florida.
The resignation is expected to take effect July 15.
Peterson's decision is the most concrete step any Democrat has taken so far toward entering the governor's race. He is one of about 10 Democrats who have signaled an interest in challenging Republican Gov. Jeb Bush, who is expected to announce next month that he will seek re-election.
"It's now clear the first victory has been made for the Democrats," said Mitchell Berger, a Fort Lauderdale lawyer and Democratic fundraiser. "A Jeb victory is not inevitable."
The Peterson news comes just days after former U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno surprised the Democratic establishment by revealing she is considering running for governor. Democrats who spoke to Peterson said his timing was influenced not by Reno but by his frustration that a trade agreement with Vietnam has become bogged down in Washington.
Nominated by President Bill Clinton, Peterson in 1997 became the first ambassador to the unified Vietnam. He had agreed to stay on the job for President Bush to see the trade agreement through Congress. But it now appears the pact is in danger by being inserted into a broader trade proposal being prepared by the Bush administration.
That, in turn, has created anxiety in Vietnam.
"I'm being bombarded by concerns," Peterson told the Washington Post earlier this month.
Peterson does not have a strong geographic base in Florida. He is not a household name after spending much of the past decade in Washington and Vietnam. But many Democrats think voters would be sold on his moderate political views and compelling personal story.
Peterson, 65, flew 66 bombing missions over Vietnam before being shot down and spending more than six years as a prisoner of war. After returning home, he received a bachelor's degree from the University of Tampa in 1976, co-owned a computer store and settled in Marianna.
In 1990, then-Florida Democratic Chairman Charles Whitehead helped recruit Peterson to run for Congress against incumbent Bill Grant, a former Democrat who had switched his party registration to Republican. Peterson won and served six years in Congress, compiling a middle-of-the-road voting record.
In 1995, Peterson's wife, Carlotta, died of breast cancer. Peterson became ambassador to Vietnam two years later, and in 1998 he married Vietnam native Vi Le Peterson.
Peterson has spoken regularly to Graham and Nelson in recent months about running for governor.
Two Democratic fundraisers from Miami-Dade County, Philip Levine and Chris Korge, recently flew to Vietnam to talk to him about the race.
"He kept saying to me he had to convince himself first," Florida Democratic Party Chairman Bob Poe said Tuesday. "He's convinced himself."
How much influence Peterson's decision will have on other Democrats considering running for governor is unclear. Several said earlier this week they would not be swayed by Reno's sudden interest or what others decide as they make up their minds.
In Washington, U.S. Rep. Jim Davis of Tampa said he is reviewing bills passed by the state Legislature and closely following which ones Bush signs into law. He also recently compared notes with Bill McBride, another potential candidate and the managing partner of the Tampa-based Holland & Knight law firm.
"This is ultimately an intensely personal decision," Davis said.
"It is such a commitment. I worked hard to get where I am, and I enjoy what I do and I think I am getting better at it. But I'm willing to take a risk."

Palestinians clash with police, Mitchell puts off visit
Issued on: Modified:
Hundreds of Palestinians clashed with Israeli police Tuesday amid tension over Jewish expansion in mainly Arab east Jerusalem . US envoy George Mitchell has postponed a visit to the region amid the row over the announcement of settler expansion during Vice-President Joe Biden's visit.
Police fired rubber bullets and stun grenades at demonstrators in the Shuafat refugee camp, while some of protesters threw stones at them. The Palestinians dispersed after security forces moved in.
There were clashes in other parts of east Jerusalem. Police say they have made 15 arrests and that two officers have been injured.
Palestinian leaders condemned the reopening of a synagogue within the Old City, near Islam's third holiest site, Al-Aqsa mosque. The synagogue has been destroyed twice, the second time during fighting with Jordan 62 years ago.
Another synagogue in the Old City is now due to be renovated, while restrictions on Palestinians visiting the mosque remain in place.
Palestinians believe that the move will upset the tense status quo, already under strain after the announcement of plans to build thousands of settler homes.
Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip, has declared a "day of rage and alarm" and called for Arabs and Muslims to "come to the aid of Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa".
Palestinian President Mahmud Abbas's Fatah, which controls the West Bank, also condemned the move.
"This is no mere synagogue," said Hatem Abdel Qader, who is in charge of Jerusalem affairs for Fatah, saying that it will be "a prelude to violence and religious fanatacism and extremism" which would also involve members of the Israeli government.
The US accused Palestinian leaders of "mischaracterising the event in question" and adding to the tension.
US Middle Easy envoy George Mitchell postponed a visit to Israel which was due to start Monday.
Officials blamed "logisitics" but the decision comes as relations with Israel hit a low point over announcement of settlement expansion during a visit by US Vice-President Joe Biden.
Biden is expected to make the trip after a meeting of the Middle East Quartet in Moscow on 19 March.

15 Best F&B options Midwood Residents Can Find in HillV2
The Midwood condominium recently launched by Hong Leong Holdings is conveniently located beside the HillV2 shopping mall on Hillview Rise. Together with the childcare centre housed within Midwood, its easy access to the amenities and F&B options available at the mall provide it with the convenience of a mixed development without actually being a mixed development itself.
This post lists the best and trendy F&B options you can find in the HillV2 shopping mall.
1. Dean and Deluca
The bistro and gourmet cafe hailing from New York City has been well known for its early brunch items, for example, Rainbow, Red Velvet and Carrot Cakes. Midwood residents can look forward to the smell of gourmet coffee at Dean and Deluca after nature hikes in the nearby nature spots on weekend mornings.
2. Stone Cold Creamery
For those new to Stone Cold Creamery, it began business in 1988 at Tempe Arizona, and has in excess of 1,400 stores operating around the world. Their premium ice-cream is freshly made daily, in this manner guaranteeing a superior quality. The delightful dessert is mixed on a solid rock stone, and Midwood residents can blend in different mixes of natural flavours, nuts, treats, brownies and nutty spread. For starters, go for the Founder’s Favorite, or Strawberry Banana Rendezvous – strawberry dessert blended in with graham wafer pie outside layer, white chocolate chips, strawberries and bananas.
True to its name which means ‘stronger’ in German, customers can strong-flavoured German-style craft beer and eats, for example, Pork Knuckles (which are marinated for 24 hours!), Baby Back Ribs, and Braised Lamb Shank. Goodness, the fresh crisp of the skin of the knuckles goes down well with the ice cold beer.
4. Dagiya Gogiya
This is an under-the-radar Korean restaurant which serves fresh, well-marinated meats for its BBQ that is reasonably-priced. A $69 set for 2-3 pax, which included prime meat short rib, marinated pork rib, and beef slices. Couldn’t quit having the delicious, mouth-watering meat cuts. Mashisoyo!
5. Burrito Boys
At this inexpensive Mexican-styled eatery, Midwood residents can have their pick of burrito, bowl or taco, after which they will choose the base, beans, and fillings. Worth trying are the Soft Flour Tortilla paired with Grilled Chicken or Grilled Steak. Don’t miss their fresh homemade blend of guacamole as well!
BurgerUp is the first and only gourmet burger restaurant chain available in Singapore! Go local with their delicious beef burger with french Fries or coleslaw.
7. One More Steamboat and Teppanyaki Buffet
There aren’t many Taiwanese-styled steamboat restaurants in Singapore, so Midwood residents are in for a treat. There are 6 distinctive soup bases which are the Signature Original, Korean Kimchi, German Sauerkraut, Italian Tomato, Vegetarian Herbal and Indian Curry. The soups are made with pork knuckles, huge bones, chicken, vegetables and different herbs, with no additional MSG.
Nunuiwangja (articulated as Nun-ee-wang-ja in Korean) otherwise called “Snow Prince”, is a Korean bingsu bistro. The Premium Bingsus sounded all the more intriguing to us – Mango Cheese, Honey Grape and Tangerine, using tropical organic products which were phenomenal in other bingsu bistros. Rather than the typical milk to improve the sweetness of the bingsu, honey was used for a progressively layered taste.
9. iO Italian Osteria
IO Italian Osteria is one of those cafes you will fall in love with at first sight. It feels like an Italian wide open home (or bar) with an open kitchen, roof to-floor windows and wooden furnishings. This is the place Midwood residents can get genuine Italian from 20 distinctive Italian areas, with numerous sauces and dishes arranged without any preparation. The Porchetta of heated pork gut and fennel is tasty and exquisite.
10. Kinsa Sushi
Which self-respecting upscale shopping mall will not have a sushi restaurant, and a top-notch one at that? Kinsa Sushi’s most recent menu was a hit with instagrammers with their photos of purple rice in sushi. Yes, purple. Be sure to indulge in their vivid interpretations of Salmon Mentai Sushi Roll, Hotate Mentai and ‘Dark Beauty’ – that is pan fried shishamo wrapped maki in aburi cheddar and miso, beat with tobiko.
11. Curry Gardenn
Curry Gardenn presents the genuine taste of Indian cuisine, which included with no MSG, no coconut and additives in their dishes. A portion of their menu include Fish Head Curry, Chicken Do Aba – two enhanced chicken with cheddar garnishes; and Hera Bharaa Kebab – minced vegetables southern style.
12. Padang Gourmet
A laidback eatery which has practical experience in Padang food – different dishes, for example, Ox Tail Soup, Beef Rendang, Chicken Kalio, Petai Prawn Sambal and Petai Lodeh with rice. The proprietor who comes from Sumatra prides her dishes as being credible, fresh, with no pre-blends used – “Everything is produced from scratch”. Midwood residents can order a set of Beef Rendang, Chicken Kalio or Fish Samba, with vegetable, bergede, petai potatoes sambal and drink.
13. Wine Connection Bistro
Set up in Bangkok, Wine Connection increases in a wide choice of wines imported straight from vineyards around the globe, including select ones. This bistro at HillV2 presents an exemplary Western menu, with numerous dishes accessible for sharing. Go for the Choucroute Garnie, a French Sauerkraut dish presented with smoked hamburger wiener, ranch house pork frankfurter, smoked pork midsection and potatoes.
14. Chic-a-boo Fried Chicken
For enthusiasts of Aston’s, the brand has opened an inexpensive foodie must-try called Chic-a-boo at HillV2. A set includes a healthy portion of fresh pan-fried chicken, 2 side dishes (get the wavy fries), 1 corn biscuit and a soda.
15. Joyden Canton Kitchen #02-21
Last but not least, this is one Chinese restaurant that sees long lines during weekends, packed with families who go for their mouth-watering Cantonese cuisine. Don’t miss their Fish Maw and Prawns with Glass Noodles in XO Sauce!

April 4, 2005
The Virgin Mary has its roots in the long line of history, of men and women that God told him yes and later in life took that attitude obediential. A row of men and women who began the day our father Abram left his home without knowing where he was going. He obeyed and believed. And today, Solemnity of the Incarnation of the Word, the Son of God also begins this historic road. Sale, it is the Father to do His will.
“You have not wanted to sacrifice or oblation instead have given me a body. So here I am. I come to God, your will. “And Mary, in turn says it be done to me according to your will. Attitude obediential of a walker, a walker, who starts to walk the walk, and in the case the Lord, Isaiah prophesied obediential attitude: “Behold, the virgin is pregnant and will give birth to a son and will call him by the name of Emmanuel which means, God with us.”
God gets into this human caravan, gets into this road and follow progress with us and God is getting into the cracks of our existence, is one more of us. The Word is anointed, and before being anointed with the oil of choice with our flesh is anointed “to do your will” and so begins the journey of Christ. “To do your will” and end in the critical hours of his life about to be taken prisoner feels that deep agony in the solitude of the forest and in the solitude of his heart: “Father not do what I want but your will “. Consistency obediential a vocation. Coherence who feels called and obeys the call and walks according to his calling, and is one who walks with us. The closeness, projimidad of God walking with us.
I was sent, I have been anointed with the oil of gladness, says the Lord. To release captives, to give sight to the blind, to heal lepers, walk to the weak knees. Anointed to walk along the entire human limitation, all human joy, to every human misery, anointed with the service authority of him who came to walk, to be Emmanuel, God with us to serve. Obediential Attitude of Christ: “You gave me a body and I said I’m here to do your will” is the crux of coherence and consistency not just say Christian but human consistency. And today on this Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord we celebrate this coherence.
God wanted to be consistent and shows us the path of consistency. Mary is consistent and shows us the path of consistency, does what he thinks, what he believes proclaims, makes you think. And not only momentous but consistent within itself. Christ think coherently because he thinks what he feels and what he does. Feel coherently because he feels what he thinks and what he does. Work consistently because it makes you feel and what you think. Consistency obediential, transparent consistency, coherence that has nothing to hide, consistency is all good and overcome evil with good consistent that its offer “to do your will,” says the Father.
And on this feast of the Annunciation of the Lord remember another great consistent. Argentina said this writer, the text we read at the beginning of Mass: With this consistent “ends the twentieth century.” Juan Pablo simply was consistent, never cheated, never lied, never chicaneó. Juan Pablo communicated with his people, with the consistency of a man of God, with the consistency of one who every morning spent long hours in adoration, and it was left harmonize adored by the power of God. Coherence is not purchased, the consistency is not studied in any race. Coherence is carving in the heart with worship, with the anointing to serve others and rectitude of conduct. No lies, no deception, no bending. Nathanael Jesus said once when she was walking, “Behold an Israelite law without bending. “I think we can say of John Paul, the consistent. But because it was consistent chiseling left by the will of God. was left humiliated by the will of God. stopped to grow in his soul that had that attitude obediential our father Abraham, and from there all that followed.
Consistent recall a man who once told us that this world does not need teachers, needs witnesses, and consistent is a witness. A man who puts his eggs in one basket and endorse his flesh and his whole life, with its transparency, what he preaches.
On the day of the proclamation of this coherence obediential in the Incarnation of the Word we watch this consistent. This coherent sheer consistency is smeared hands, saved us a fratricidal slaughter, this coherent enjoyed taking the kids in arms because he believed in the tenderness. This consistent that more than once he brought men from the street, here we hobos, Piazza Risorgimento to speak and give them a new life conditions. This coherent when health became asked permission to go to jail to speak with the man who had tried to kill him.
It is a witness. I end by repeating his words: “What this world needs are not teachers are witnesses.” And in the Incarnation of the Word, Christ is the faithful witness. Today we see in John Paul a faithful imitation of this witness. And thank you ended his life well, consistently, that has completed its life as just that: a faithful witness.

Canine cancer draws research efforts from human, veterinary sides
CORVALLIS, ORE. — Canine cancer is presenting new opportunities for veterinary and medical researchers to develop new treatment strategies.
Specifically, two universities launched a collaborative canine cancer project at Corvallis-based Oregon State University (OSU) and Portland-based Oregon Health & Sciences University. They are aiming to blend customized chemotherapy and surgery for the treatment of canine cancer. These combined efforts mark the first such endeavor of its kind, according to the universities. Part of the project involved a 9-year-old Golden Retriever that was diagnosed with hemangiosarcoma and was brought to OSU's College of Veterinary Medicine.
There, Stuart Helfand, DVM, a professor of veterinary medicine, cultured the dog's cancer cells and experimented with a few new drugs to see their effects on the cells.The dog was being treated for the unique characteristics of its tumor. The customized treatment approach is an evolving method, he says.
In addition to his work on this hemangiosarcoma case, Helfand is collaborating with Bernard Séguin, DVM, Dipl. ACVS, a surgeon and an assistant professor of veterinary medicine, on treating canine osteosarcoma. Seguin spoke with DVM Newsmagazine on his work with Helfand and their joint efforts with human medicine.
"In our research on osteosarcoma, the dog is an excellent model to understand and study what goes on in humans. Whatever gains we make in dogs can be really helpful to explain what goes on in children," Séguin explains.
"The great value of working together is the access it provides us to resources that would otherwise be difficult, perhaps even impossible, to access. For one, funding on the human side is so much greater than on the veterinary side. It would be very difficult for us to think we could achieve the same level of research just from a financial aspect," Séguin says.
"Also, what is even more exciting is the synergy between the two teams. We can come together and develop protocols, while each bringing our own perspective to the table," he adds.
Some of the cancer research being conducted by Helfand, Séguin and colleagues is based on analyzing compounds called tyrosine kinase inhibitors. The veterinary experts are working with researchers on the human side who worked to develop the first tyrosine kinase inhibitor, which influenced the course of treatment of chronic myelogenous leukemia in people a decade ago. The goal is to investigate how other TKIs may help treat hemangiosarcoma in dogs.

ANNOUNCER: This is NIGHTLY BUSINESS REPORT with Sue Herera and Bill
BILL GRIFFETH, NIGHTLY BUSINESS REPORT ANCHOR: Stock routes. The Dow
tumbles 600 points to start the week as the wave of selling spread from one
sector to the next.
SUE HERERA, NIGHTLY BUSINESS REPORT ANCHOR: Tech wreck. Apple
(NASDAQ:AAPL) tanks and brings the rest of the sector down with it. What
will it take for tech to regain its footing and what happens if it doesn`t?
GRIFFETH: California burning. Fires are spreading, cost estimates are
rising and state utilities are coming under scrutiny.
Those stories and much more tonight on NIGHTLY BUSINESS REPORT for this
Monday, November 12th.
HERERA: Good evening, everyone, and welcome.
It was an ugly day on Wall Street. Stocks fell hard, led lower by a
selloff in technology. But there was more to it, a lot more. The declines
quickly spread throughout the market and the end result was a broad selloff
that took down just about everything.
Let`s get right to the final numbers for you. The Dow Jones industrial
average slid 602 points to 25,387, the Nasdaq was down 206 points or 2.8
percent and the S&P 500 fell 54.
Bob Pisani reports from the center of it all at the New York Stock
BOB PISANI, NIGHTLY BUSINESS REPORT CORRESPONDENT: It was a sea of red
today on Wall Street with the Dow plunging more than 600 points at the
close. The markets boxed in because of worries about global growth and the
Federal Reserve. That`s the principal problem.
Today`s decline in tech can`t be blamed exclusively on Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL).
There was a supplier, Lumentum, one of their facial recognition suppliers,
that reduced their outlook for the quarter. They cited reduced shipment
requests from one of their biggest customers. Everybody assumed that was
But that`s not the only problem. FANG names like Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) and
Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) were down 2 to 3 percent. The industrial energy
sectors were one and a half percent each, pointing to a big problem. U.S.
growth seemed strong, that`s good news, but the global growth picture in
Europe and China is generally weaker.
Another problem is the strong dollar. With the Fed raising rates, worries
about Italy, the U.K. leading to a weak euro. China slowdown concerns,
that`s all pushing the dollar up.
The dollar in turn is hurting commodities. There`s been double digit
declines this year in copper, and aluminum and lumber, again, global
slowdowns. This recent decline in oil we see, it`s being blamed on
oversupply issues, but concerns about a down on demand are also a factor.
So, the bottom line is this: there`s lots of questions about global growth
and what the Fed`s going to do in 2019.
For NIGHTLY BUSINESS REPORT, I`m Bob Pisani at the New York Stock Exchange.
GRIFFETH: Bob just mentioned Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), which got a lot of
attention today from investors. The stock fell 5 percent, making it one of
the worst performers among the Dow 30 components.
Josh Lipton takes a closer look at why there is so much focus right now on
the largest U.S. publicly traded company.
JOSH LIPTON, NIGHTLY BUSINESS REPORT CORRESPONDENT: Worth nearly a
trillion dollars, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) is the most valuable public company
in the world. But today, its stock got whacked on news from one of its
pint sized suppliers. Lumentum slashed its second quarter forecast saying
that a large customer cut orders. Now, it didn`t name that customer, but
investors drew their own conclusions as the small laser maker`s technology
enables the iPhone`s face ID feature, and that caused new worries about the
health of Apple`s bread and butter, its iPhone franchise.
In the past, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) CEO Tim Cook has emphasized that his
supply chain is big and complex. His point is that it`s hard to
extrapolate trends from just a handful of data points. In other words,
it`s not just Lumentum that Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) relies on other companies
like Finisar (NASDAQ:FNSR) and II-VI (NASDAQ:IIVI), which recently
announced a merger. Analysts estimate those two companies account for
about 50 percent of this critical laser technology to Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL).
Both companies also traded lower today.
Still, the bears came out in force today saying this news reinforces their
view that iPhone shipments are declining. Even bulls on Apple
(NASDAQ:AAPL) like JPMorgan (NYSE:JPM) are now forecasting year over year
declines in iPhone shipments.
On the other hand, Citi`s Jim Suva says this Lumentum news is a concern but
he was never counting on a big jumping in iPhone units anyway in the
quarters ahead. He`s more focused on how much money Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) is
making on each phone that it sells.
JIM SUVA, CITI INVESTMENT RESEARCH MANAGING DIR.: Is we believe that the
average selling prices are going to be much bigger than expected. And with
that comes the opportunity to have more profitability. Now, the costs of
goods sold or the memory costs known as NAN and DRAM going into it keep
falling. That means on the same given unit, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) is going
to make more and more profits to drive more revenues and EPS and cash
LIPTON: That bullish view was in short supply today, however, and it`s
been a tough couple weeks for Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) since the iPhone maker
last reported earnings results on November 1st. Its stock is down more
than 10 percent.
For NIGHTLY BUSINESS REPORT, I`m Josh Lipton, San Francisco.
HERERA: It`s not just Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL). Investors are also concerned
about the threat of potential regulation on Internet companies, something
we`ve been telling you about. And that`s just one of the concerns that
drove media stocks lower today.
Julia Boorstin picks up the story from there.
JULIA BOORSTIN, NIGHTLY BUSINESS REPORT CORRESPONDENT: Social stocks
struggling today as investors continue to question the long-term potential
platforms whose user growth is stagnating.
Snap shares ending the day down over 2 percent. Today, the company losing
yet another senior executive, V.P. of content Nick Bell. He oversaw all of
the partnerships Snap has with media companies which has fueled the growth
of Snapchat`s discover section. Bell is just the latest in a series of
executive departures and changes at the top.
And Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) shares losing nearly 2.5 percent. The company
saying it`s partnering with France for a six-month investigation into hate
speech on the platform and how to prevent it.
Veteran investor Ann Winblad saying this is just one of Facebook`s myriad
ANN WINBLAD, HUMMER WINBLAD VENTURE PARTNERS: Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) is
another story. I mean, Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) has trust issues. We`ve
talked about that in the past. They have saturation. They have revenue
per user issues, and they can`t seem to come up with an encore, either to
their trust issues or to products themselves.
BOORSTIN: And Twitter also facing concerns about the spread of fake news
and hate speech. Its shares losing 6 percent, giving up some of its gains
following its earnings report last month.
For NIGHTLY BUSINESS REPORT, I`m Julia Boorstin in Los Angeles.
GRIFFETH: Let`s turn to Paul Meeks right now to get more on the technology
selloff and what it means for the overall market. Paul, of course, is lead
portfolio manager at The Wireless Fund.
PAUL MEEKS, THE WIRELESS FUND LEAD PORTFOLIO MANAGER: Great to see you.
GRIFFETH: How much longer do you think this lasts? And what are you
watching to tell you how much longer you think it will last?
MEEKS: Excellent questions. I think that we`re not near the trough but
maybe we`re getting within a quarter or two of a potential bottom in the
tech sector. You know, one of the things that most average investors don`t
realize about the tech sector is it`s highly cyclical.
And when you take a look at the U.S. markets, the U.S. markets are divided
into 11 economic sectors, technology being just one, it is a 20 percent
weight of the market. So, a very big influence. A cyclical markets and
there are concerns not about U.S. growth but about growth abroad.
MEEKS: The tell that I`m looking for in technology is kind of interesting.
A big portion of technology is the semiconductor industry, and what we`re
hearing from a number of the major semiconductor companies is that their
companies have — or their customers, excuse me, have too much inventory of
chips. We call that in the industry an inventory correction and when we
get some semblance of a balance and the customers start drawing back that
inventory and they start ordering again, that is the biggest tell for a
turn around in the fortunes of the tech companies and these stocks.
HERERA: You also say that you need to at least see some progress or change
or development in the U.S./China trade negotiations.
MEEKS: Yes. This is a very significant issue and some of the leading
forecasters, particularly in China, think this might be a problem that
lasts for several years. In the meantime, I`m chomping at the bit to buy
shares of some of the leading internet companies in China, like Alibaba
that just posted monster sales on their Singles` Day over the weekend, but
I can`t really step in until we clear up some of this geopolitical mess.
GRIFFETH: Before we let you go, Paul, very quickly, some of the
opportunities you see.
Would you show them on screen here?
Companies like Boeing (NYSE:BA) and Visa (NYSE:V) and MasterCard (NYSE:MA).
MEEKS: Interesting. I want to play some defense, and I think particularly
payment processors, ala Visa (NYSE:V) and MasterCard (NYSE:MA), are good
relatively defensive tech plays. I do consider them tech stocks.
Also, Boeing (NYSE:BA) is very interesting because the most captivating
part of Boeing`s story in my view is not the assembly of aircraft, it`s
their services business which is very high tech, very high margin. I can
hide in some of those companies until the smoke clears for the rest of tech
and, of course, I already have a relatively high proportion of cash to keep
some powder dry for better opportunities.
GRIFFETH: Very good. Paul Meeks with the wireless fund. Always good to
see you. Thanks again for joining us tonight.
MEEKS: Thank you.
HERERA: Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) saw its worst one day drop in about seven
years. The selloff follows a report that former CEO Lloyd Blankfein was
the unidentified high ranking executive referenced in court documents
related to a 2009 meeting with the former prime minister of Malaysia who
was involved in the 1MDB scandal.
GRIFFETH: Meantime, shares of GE fell below $8 a share today, its lowest
level in nearly a decade. During a wide ranging interview today, the
company`s new CEO said he`s focused on bringing down the company`s debt
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
LARRY CULP, GENERAL ELECTRIC CAIRMAN & CEO: We need to bring the leverage
down, and I think we`ve got plenty of opportunities through asset sales to
do that. In the last six weeks, it`s my six — marks six weeks on the job,
I`ve heard from lots of people across our markets, people who have interest
in GE assets, and I think that`s confirmation that we have quality
franchises and frankly that we have options.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
GRIFFETH: Mr. Culp (NYSE:CFI) emphasized that he will not rush this
process even though he is feeling pressure to move quickly. He also said
that GE has no plans to raise additional equity in the stock market. He
thinks the power business is getting close to bottoming out and he`s
looking to streamline GE`s corporate structure in order to save money. The
stock today closed at $7.99.
HERERA: Oil prices which started the day higher settled below $60 a
barrel. Domestic crude marked a record 11th straight session decline and
it follows weekend discussions by major oil producers to potentially cut
GRIFFETH: Time to take a look now at some of today`s upgrades and
We begin with some airline stocks. JetBlue and American Airlines initiated
with a buy rating in new coverage of Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS). In general,
the analyst expects the airlines to expect strong revenue next year. The
firm also sees a bigger focus on cost controls. Shares of JetBlue fell a
fraction today to $17.99. American Airlines shares rose more than 1
percent to $36.86.
L brands was upgraded to outperform from market perform at Wells Fargo
(NYSE:WFC). The analyst sees L Brands as the next retail turn around
story. Price target now $55. Shares rose 1 percent to $37.02.
HERERA: Starbucks (NASDAQ:SBUX) was upgraded to buy from hold in Argus
Research. The analyst cites the potential for continued revenue growth,
new store openings, stock buy backs and dividend increases. The price
target is $79 but the shares fell in an overall down market by 1 percent to
Cheesecake Factory was downgraded from under weight to equal weight at
Barclay`s. The firm cites headwinds and the stock`s valuation. The price
target is $47 and shares of Cheesecake Factory fell 4 percent to $50.15.
GRIFFETH: Still ahead, California`s scorched and the cost is climbing.
GRIFFETH: Well, the California wildfires are still spreading and only a
small portion has been contained so far. Fires are being whipped by strong
winds burning thousands of acres of land. Homes, businesses on both the
northern and southern part of the state and tonight, state utilities are in
Aditi Roy is in southern California, Camarillo, for us tonight.
ADITI ROY, NIGHTLY BUSINESS REPORT CORRESPONDENT: California is burning on
both ends, with wildfires ravaging northern and southern California. Up
north, the Camp Fire is now the most destructive fire in California
history, decimating an entire town called paradise.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: It was such a beautiful place.
ROY: The Camp Fire also matched the record for the deadliest fire in the
state`s history. Between this blaze and southern California`s Woolsey
Fire, the two infernos have scorched more than 200,000 acres, destroyed
nearly 7,000 homes and evacuated 250,000 people.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I was just coming up the street to see my neighbors
and I didn`t realize my house was gone too.
ROY: Beyond the tragedy of lives lost, homeowners are bracing for damage
estimates. Core Logic says the total reconstruction value of the more than
48,000 homes in extreme or high danger in the two fires is about $18
billion and Zillow reporting that the nearly 22,000 homes in the Woolsey
and smaller Hills Fire in Thousand Oaks have a combined value of $42
According to one estimate, in 2017, home and farm insurers lost $16
billion, quadrupled from the previous year. Some industry insiders say
that could result in a slow creep of fire insurance premiums in some areas.
Meantime, two California utilities say they suffered outages minutes before
the fire started. Their stocks falling sharply under scrutiny, as concerns
mount that the companies could face billions of dollars in potential
This as firefighters braced for yet another day battling fierce flames
fueled by high winds.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: It`s just a roar. It`s a roar in your ears that
you`ll never forget.
ROY: As homeowners wait and watch nervously, we also know that travelers
insurance in its last earnings call had also warned investors about
upcoming wildfire payouts and that was before these November wildfires.
For NIGHTLY BUSINESS REPORT, I`m Aditi Roy, Camarillo, California.
HERERA: A deal making Monday. That`s where we begin tonight`s “Market
SAP is buying the software form Qualtrics for $8 billion. The head of SAP
says the acquisition will bolster that company`s offering. Qualtrics had
filed for an initial public offering last month, hoping to raise about $200
million. SAP shares fell more than 6 percent to $101.42.
And another software to tell you about. Apptio is being taken private by
Vista Equity Partners for nearly $2 billion just two years after it went
public. Apptio helps companies manage and understand their cloud spending.
Shares popped more than 51 percent in an otherwise sharply down market to
finish at $37.65.
Athena Health is being acquired for $5.5 billion by two private equity
firms, Veritas Capital and Elliott Management. Athena Health said in June
that they were going to consider strategic alternatives around the same
time its founder Jonathan Bush stepped down as CEO. Shares of Athena
Health rose more than 9 percent to $131.97.
GRIFFETH: A “Wall Street Journal” reports that the FDA want to ban the
sale of menthol cigarettes sent shares of tobacco companies lower today.
Menthols represent 55 percent of British American Tobacco U.S. sales by
volume and about 20 percent of Altria`s cigarette shares. Altria`s shares
were down 3.5 percent today to $61.20. Shares of British American Tobacco
were down 8 percent to $38.08.
And a strike has been avoided at UPS freight after the company reached a
deal that covers more than 11,000 workers and prevents what would have been
that company`s first work stoppage since 1997. Last month UPS`s small
package division which employs more than 240,000 workers also reached a
tentative labor agreement. UPS shares fell more than 1.5 percent today to
And Kellogg`s said late today it is looking to sell its Keebler, Famous
Amos and Fruit Snacks business, all in an effort to focus on its core
products in North America. Kellogg (NYSE:K) will consolidate its
breakfast, snacks and frozen food units into one. The stock was halted
late today. It finished the regular session down 1 percent to $64.30.
HERERA: Lawmakers will return to Capitol Hill this week for their final
session of the year. They`re expected to tackle a number of issues that
could determine whether a partial government shutdown can be avoided next
Ylan Mui has the roadmap for investors.
YLAN MUI, NIGHTLY BUSINESS REPORT CORRESPONDENT: It`s back to work in
Washington as Congress returns to Capitol Hill tomorrow. There is still a
lot to do in the lame duck session. House Democrats pick their leadership
this week. And so far, no one is challenging Nancy Pelosi for the top job.
After Thanksgiving, House Republicans will elect their party leaders.
California Congressman Kevin McCarthy is expected to win, but he`s fending
off a challenge from the right by Ohio Congressman Jim Jordan.
And with December comes another deadline to keep the government running.
About 25 percent is still not fully funded and there are some serious
sticking points in the negotiations. Democrats want the spending bill to
include protections for special counsel Bob Mueller and his investigation
into Russian meddling in the presidential election.
Meanwhile, Republicans want money for the border wall. McCarthy sponsored
a bill that would give the White House the full $25 billion. Keeping the
government open will require compromise from both parties and the incoming
freshmen in Congress say that`s their goal as well.
REP.-ELECT ELISSA SLOTKIN (D), MICHIGAN: We need people of integrity on
both sides of the aisle. We`re never going to be a one party country.
That`s not our history. That`s not how we work best. So, I will be
looking for anyone I can work with across the aisle, including in my own
Michigan delegation, to get some real work done.
MUI: We`ll see how long this bipartisan spirit can last.
For NIGHTLY BUSINESS REPORT, I`m Ylan Mui in Washington.
GRIFFETH: Some sad news to share with you tonight. A powerhouse of the
superhero business has died. Marvel Comics legend Stan Lee was credited
with revolutionizing the comic book industry. He created some of the most
well-known superheroes of the 20th century, including Spider-man, the X-
Men, Ironman and Thor. His work as a writer, editor, publisher and
Hollywood executive helped make Marvel an international success.
That company was purchased by Disney (NYSE:DIS) back in 2009 for $4
billion. Stan Lee, himself a real life super hero to the comic book
industry, was 95.
HERERA: Here`s a look at what to watch for tomorrow.
We`ll see how rising mortgage rates and slowing housing growth is impacting
Home Depot (NYSE:HD) when it reports its earnings. OPEC`s monthly report
will be in focus given the slide in oil prices and we`ll find out how small
businesses are coping with the tight labor market with the release of the
NFIB survey and that is what to watch for on Tuesday.
GRIFFETH: Well, this increase in market volatility has many investors
searching for stability in quality stocks, but which companies fall under
that category and what does this rotation mean for the broader market?
Mike Santoli takes a look.
MIKE SANTOLI, NIGHTLY BUSINESS REPORT CORRESPONDENT: Investors are
increasingly willing to pay up for quality in a turbulent market. Shares
of high quality companies began outperforming even before the broad market
hit a rough patch starting in late September. Quality in this case means
companies with stable businesses not dependent on a strong economy, little
debt and strong cash flow.
This preference can be seen in the likes of McDonald`s (NYSE:MCD), Walmart,
Walt Disney (NYSE:DIS), Starbucks (NASDAQ:SBUX) and Merck (NYSE:MRK)
trading their record highs. Health care is the top performing sector for
2018, another example of investor`s rewarding steady cash rich companies.
Quality stocks are not quite the same as value stocks. Those cheaper
looking companies that frequently are geared tightly to economic growth
rates and tend to carry a good deal of debt.
Wall Street is increasingly preoccupied with just how much the economy and
profit growth might trail off next year after a strong 2018 which makes 30
brand name stocks more appealing. And with the Fed`s interest rate
increase it`s making debt more expensive, investors want to bet on a strong
While the market`s message is never perfectly clear or predictive, this
kind of rotation towards quality is something that tends to occur later in
economic cycles as the market turns towards a tougher, more volatile path.
Might this be the market`s way of hunkering down to a way to solid signal
on whether U.S. growth will hold up in 2018, perhaps an encouraging deal
with China on trade or more accommodative tone from the Fed could refresh
investor appetite for riskier stock. For now though, quality is in style.
For NIGHTLY BUSINESS REPORT, I`m Mike Santoli.
HERERA: So our next guest is here with some quality names that you may
want to consider in this volatile market. Joining us tonight is Eric
Marshall, president of Hodges Capital Management.
Good to see you, Eric. Welcome back.
ERIC MARSHALL, PRESIDENT, HODGES CAPITAL MANAGEMENT: Good to be here.
HERERA: You think we`re about 2/3 of the way through this particular
correction so maybe don`t go defensive but definitely go to quality?
MARSHALL: Yes. It`s hard to hit defensive when we`ve seen the market
correct as severely as it has. No one knows where the bottom is, but I
think this is the time where you`re going to start seeing new leadership
emerge in the market. And, you know, recently, over the last year or two,
it`s really been about those a lot of those fast growing companies that
trade at very high multiples and carried with them a lot of momentum, we
think you could see a rotation back into some of the more value areas of
the market. So, not only would we be focusing on quality companies but
also very focused on valuations here.
HERERA: You gave us four names, we don`t have time to highlight all four
of them necessarily, but they are FedEx (NYSE:FDX), Agco, Nordstrom`s and
Cinemark. What`s the common them other than just quality. What is it you
like about these companies?
MARSHALL: Well, all four of those are areas of the markets that have been
kind of ignored and forgotten about, transport, ag equipment, consumer
names like retail and a movie theater company of all things.
MARSHALL: And these are areas that have been ignored. They have very
positive cash flow. They pay good dividends and they trade at very
reasonable multiples that we think have very limited down side from here.
HERERA: How important is the dividends? I mean, in a market that`s
volatile, how would you rate it? Obviously, you want a good balance sheet
in a company, a good brand, but how important is the dividend to you?
MARSHALL: Well, I think the dividend does represent some stability in the
company`s cash flow because they have to generate cash flow to look at
dividend every quarter, but we do think that companies that have very
stable earnings, stable cash flow do pay dividends and it can protect you
on the down side.
GRIFFETH: And are these the kinds of companies you want to own even as
interest rates rise. I mean, you know, the Fed is in the midst of the
whole process of trying to normalize rates. So, are these the kinds of
companies you like in that environment?
MARSHALL: Well, like I said, these are areas of the market that you
haven`t seen outpace a lot of the more higher growth areas of the market.
They tend to be some of the more boring areas, and I think valuations are
so compelling right now that even in higher interest rates, we may see the
valuations of what the market`s willing to pay for those earnings, not go
up anymore, but we still think these companies have the prospect to see
further earnings growth next year —
HERERA: Sometimes boring is good.
MARSHALL: — in a lot of these areas.
HERERA: Eric, thank you very much. Eric Marshall with the Hodges Capital
GRIFFETH: And before we go, it was one of those days again on Wall Street.
The Dow fell by more than 600 points, the Nasdaq dropped more than 2
percent and the S&P was down 54 points. Shares of Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) fell
by 5 percent pressuring the broader technology sector today.
HERERA: Quite a day. That`ll do it for us tonight. I`m Sue Herera.
Thanks for joining us.
GRIFFETH: I`m Bill Griffeth. See you tomorrow.

Germany to provide additional 45 mln EUR to Ukraine
The Government of Germany is ready to increase the financing support for stabilization of the current economic situation in Ukraine by 45 mln EUR, declared Friedrich Kitschelt, State Secretary in the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development of Germany, on April 2, 2014.
F.Kitschelt reminded that the general financing volume, which Ukraine got within the period of cooperation with the German Government, totals 320 mln EUR. At the same time, he mentioned that Ukraine has to use the granted funds in more active and effective way, because as of to date 70 mln EUR of the funds are still not utilized.
