While the world awaits a man-made coronavirus vaccine, Valley-area researchers are scrambling to uncover a more natural and controversial type of treatment: herbal remedies.To get more news about radix astragali, you can visit shine news official website.

Arizona State University and the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine in Tempe are collaborating on a research project focused on finding botanicals — or medicinal, plant-based herbal treatments — for COVID-19, the deadly disease caused by the novel coronavirus. The effort is spearheaded by Jeffrey Langland, a virologist with 33 years of experience.

Langland is an assistant research professor at ASU’s Biodesign Center for Immunotherapy, Vaccines and Virotherapy, and an associate professor of medical microbiology at the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine in Tempe.There are likely plants out there that could be used to treat this virus,” Langland said.

Once they zero in on the most promising, they will share their data with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, "and it’d be up to them if they want to fast track and [move] toward any sort of clinical trials with it.”

Their starting point is a collection of 30 to 40 botanical compounds, called herbal products, which have shown varying degrees of success treating the novel coronavirus and other viruses like it. Among them are those derived from isatis, Chinese licorice, and houttuynia.

"There’s mixed literature out there. During the [2002-2003] SARS outbreak — and even during this recent coronavirus outbreak — China has reported that people used botanical [medicine] and reportedly had success,” Langland said. "Now, that’s very anecdotal … the true science behind that is kind of mixed.”

In China, where both botanical medicine and the coronavirus originated, using herbs as medicine is commonplace and culturally accepted. Here, it is fraught with controversy.Herbal medicine falls into the much maligned umbrella of "alternative treatments.” The mainstream American medical community’s position on such treatments can be less than friendly.

In a special announcement, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) warned specifically against herbal treatments and teas as treatments for the coronavirus: "There is no scientific evidence that any of these alternative remedies can prevent or cure the illness caused by COVID-19. In fact, some of them may not be safe to consume.”

In March, the FDA and FTC sent warning letters to several companies selling "fraudulent” coronavirus treatment products that "pose significant risks to patient health and violate federal law.” Many of them centered around boneset: a North American herb traditionally used by Native Americans to treat fevers and colds. However, no clinical studies have satisfactorily proven its antiviral capabilities in humans, and this is the type of problem Langland is setting out to solve.We’re trying to put evidence-based medicine behind botanicals,” he said. "Some [mainstream] physicians are really open to botanical medicine. Other ones are very resistant to it. And that’s why we’re trying to put the science behind this.”

Much of Langland’s career has been dedicated to bridging the gap between naturopathic and conventional medicine. "One hundred percent, I believe in both,” he said.

As of April 6, Arizona had 2,456 confirmed COVID-19 cases and 65 deaths. According to Arizona Department of Health Director Dr. Cara Christ, the state’s hospitalizations will peak in May.For those in the traditionally slow and measured business of researching treatments, COVID-19 presents an unusually fast-paced race against time.

Dr. Joe G.N. "Skip” Garcia, the head of a University of Arizona pulmonary science lab that bears his name, is among those trying to quickly develop man-made drugs for COVID-19 patients who exhibit deadly respiratory complications caused by "massive inflammation.” He said he believes botanicals could prevent cases from turning into serious ones requiring hospitalization, but he would like to see the evidence.

"I would say there is a real potential for these types of medicines to alter the severity of a pandemic-related infection in a given individual, and perhaps across a population challenged with resource shortages,” Garcia said. "This would, however, require a rigorous demonstration of clinical benefit and efficacy.”

Langland said the "million dollar question” now is when his researchers will land on some herbs they feel confident in. "My hope is we start getting some preliminary data in the next month to two months,” he said.At that point, he and his team will go to the CDC and FDA — with whom they’ve dealt before.

Over five years ago, in response to fears about weaponized smallpox, the team developed an herbal treatment derived from sarracenia purpurea, which the FDA ultimately found to be effective at killing the virus. But the treatment has only just entered the animal-testing phase, a pace far too slow to address the current pandemic.

With little time to spare, Langland said that if and when they find an herbal COVID-19 treatment that shows promise, they will make their findings known immediately — even before it can be rigorously tested. He said they will inform doctors of the promising herbs, stressing that they should always be consulted in taking such medicine.

"We certainly would not want people to go and start administering these sorts of botanicals on their own,” he said. Although most of the herbs the team uses are "generally regarded as safe,” he added, without large-scale, time-consuming trials, their efficacy and safety cannot be guaranteed.

While the ASU team scrambles for more powerful plant-based remedies, Langland encourages people to take herbal supplements already known to boost the immune system: elderberry, astragalus, and echinacea. But even those more established herbal treatments have their doubters.

Naysayers point to several studies that have failed to show echinacea has significant success mitigating the common cold. But those studies, Langland suggested, may not have been using high-quality compounds.

"A lot of that [controversy is] based on the fact that it depends on the time of year the plant is harvested [and] the part of the plant that’s used,” he said. In order for botanical medicine to work, it needs to be the right plant processed the right way — and not all herbal products get it right. This is another reason why he stresses the role of an experienced doctor in administering botanical medicine.

Chinese health authorities have begun testing millions of people in Wuhan, after the city that was once the centre of the coronavirus outbreak reported a small cluster of infections.To get more news about coronavirus wuhan china, you can visit shine news official website.

Officials across the various districts were told to begin testing key groups of residents who had not yet been tested and to complete the work within 10 days.The methods appear to vary in different locations and there has been confusion about the timeframe and requirements on who gets tested.

Wuhan will conduct tests on everyone in the city, with the goal of getting a clear number of asymptomatic cases as businesses and schools reopen. The state news agency, Xinhua, reported on Thursday that priority would be given to residents who had not been tested before, people in residential compounds that had previous cases and old or densely populated estates.

In one residential block, more than 2,000 people were tested on Tuesday, but medics reportedly ran out of labels and reagents, which complicated efforts to reach every resident by 8pm.

A video posted to Weibo, the microblogging site, showed long queues of residents snaking along a path, waiting to enter temporary tents set up inside the grounds. "Please go home and wait for the news. We will inform you when we have the results ASAP, and then you can come back,” a volunteer tells residents.A 22-year-old resident in Wuchang district told the Guardian she and her neighbours were advised to register via WeChat, or at the health checkpoint if they did not have a smartphone.

The woman, Ms Huang, said she did not think it was too much trouble for the community to cooperate with the mass testing, but there had been some complaints including overcrowding at the testing sites.

She said she was "used to all kinds of one-size-fits-all policies” but there was too much "unnecessary formalism” in the processes and it could be more efficient.

"It is unlikely that a large-scale outbreak will occur because as long as there are new cases, district leaders will be removed,” she said, referencing the manager of the building at the centre of this week’s outbreak.

"I don’t think there will be another lockdown because they are more concerned about economic development and will not stop production. Wuhan’s people pay great attention to the virus. Most people know how severe it is, and the epidemic prevention work is well done.”Other pictures on social media showed people lined up outside closed shopfronts, waiting to sit at a table where a health worker in a hazmat suit would provide the test in the open air.

"This is a good thing. It’s a way to be responsible towards others and to yourself,” a 40-year-old man told Agence France-Presse (AFP) after being tested.

A resident of another community posted a notice to social media directing everyone over the age of six who had not been tested before to bring IDs and masks to the open square on Wednesday. More than 1,000 people, residential block by residential block, would be tested by the end of the day, it said.There have been reports of some concerns. "I know this plan requiring the city to do large-scale testing serves as a basic safeguard. I wasn’t planning to get myself tested,” a woman who did not give her name told AFP.

"But the safety measures inside are really bad. [People] are too close and the testing person handled a lot of samples from people but I didn’t see him wash his hands.”A city government release noted that Wuhan had recently returned to normal after months of lockdown – but "infectious diseases have their own rules”.Wuhan tested about 1.79 million people between 1 April and 13 May, according to Reuters calculations of health commission data.

Forex investment can be risky for both beginners and experienced investors. Once begin trading on the forex market, investors not only need to learn about financial tools and trading jargon, but also have to watch out for the sophisticated traps set up by scam forex brokers.To get more news about Pyramid Sales, you can visit WikiFX news official website.
　　The following story is shared by Ms. Ge, an investor who sought WikiFXs help after the forex broker Solid Investments blocked her withdrawals. She reported the illegal broker to warn other investors against it.
Exposure of illegal broker
　　According to Ms. Ge, her friend had entrusted investment to a broker named Solid Investments and made considerable profits through their services. "I heard that by following the trading signals of their professional traders, one can easily make profits even without much experience, so I decided to try.” As the return was much higher than expected, Ms. Ge gladly stepped up her investment in order to reap greater profits.
Ms. Ges deposit records
　　But Ms. Ge didn’t realize that the initial profits were no more than a bait of the broker, and she was about to suffer heavy losses. Last December, Ms. Ge submitted a withdrawal application, but after waiting for a week, she still couldn’t receive the funds. The customer service first claimed that the "third-party withdrawal channel” was blocked, and then blamed the delay on the "impact of the coronavirus outbreak”, while all of Ms. Ge’s attempts to solve the issue through contacting the customer service agent turned out in vain.
Besides investors like Ms. Ge, the introducing brokers (IBs) of the company also suffered losses. In Solid Investments’ IB group, the administrator first coaxed the group members that they’ll soon receive their withdrawals after the withdrawal process functions properly again, and later threatened to remove those who raised doubts against him from the group.
Analysis
　　Solid Investments claims itself to be under NFAs regulation, yet our investigation suggests Solid Investments is not a regulated NFA member, while the alleged license number turned out to be only a registration number without showing any detail information about the broker.
According to WikiFX App, Solid Investments is rated at only 0.95 and its regulation has already expired. Per investigation, the broker’s operation involves a pyramid sales scheme, and WikiFX have labeled it as an illegal broker. Investors should beware of the risks.
WikiFX reminds investors that as you carefully protect you and your families from the coronavirus epidemic, and please also watch out for the traps of illegal brokers. Many illegal brokers will defraud inexperienced investors in the name of "entrusted wealth management” or "trading on investor’s behalf”.

Now you are aware of the online lottery, how it works, what are the distinctions between online lottery ticket providers and you’ve chosen a website to buy lottery tickets online. The only remaining question is How do you actually play Powerball online?Get more news about 菲律宾彩票包网平台,you can vist loto98.com
Assuming that you have chosen an online lottery company that physically purchases tickets online. How you play Powerball online is the following; Firstly, pick whether you want to buy group Powerball tickets online or single tickets. Almost all online lottery ticket providers offer the player to buy group tickets in addition to single ticket purchases. An online group game ticket in the Powerball is the same concept as a work syndication for the lottery, only nowadays thanks to the wonders of the internet, you don’t have to rely on the people in your vicinity – you can join a syndicate that is made up of hundreds, if not thousands of people scattered all across the globe.
The advantages to group game tickets is that is a good way to maximize your exposure (you have a little bit of a lot of tickets) without spending fortunes of multiple tickets. Due to the US Powerball having a minimum jackpot of $40m, group game tickets are always an attractive option as even with only a 2.5% share of the syndicate, you will still win $1m! As the jackpots grow, the Syndicate option becomes more and more appealing. The mantra of the group game player is "it’s better to have a little bit of something than a big bit of nothing.”

The other option is to buy single tickets and play alone. Pick your own numbers, play your own tickets and if you win, you win it all! In this scenario, it is advisable to buy lottery tickets online at least 24 hours before the draw will take place. The reason behind this is because in the single ticket scenario, you want to leave enough time for the agents to go to their local store, purchase your ticket, scan your ticket and upload your ticket into your account. If you purchase your Powerball tickets online at the last minute, some online lottery ticket providers will process your payment and if they can’t buy a ticket in time for the draw you wanted, your ticket will be purchased for the following draw. Bear in mind that the nature of a global online lottery with agents scattered around the world is that everyone is working on different time zones. To be sure that your ticket is purchased for the lottery draw you want, ensure that you don’t buy your lottery tickets online at the last minute. This is something that all online lottery players should be aware of as jackpots and odds can change from draw to draw. You need to know that if you are buying Powerball tickets online, which draw your tickets will be entered into.

The shuttered La Playa Resort & Suites on A1A across the street from Bellair Plaza shopping center has been sold to a winner of New Jersey’s Mega-Millions lottery.Get more news about 彩票包网平台,you can vist loto98.com

The 239-room hotel at 2500 N. Atlantic Ave. was sold in an auction held in late April for $13.65 million to former New Jersey resident Richard Wahl, who now lives in the Sarasota area, according to multiple sources.

Jeff Brock, an attorney with Smith Bigman Brock who represented the sellers, confirmed the sale which closed on July 1 to a newly formed Delaware limited liability corporation called 2500 North Atlantic Avenue LLC.

That entity is owned by Wahl, a former food service manager from Vernon Township, New Jersey, who won that state’s $533 million Mega Millions jackpot in March 2018.Wahl opted to take the cash prize, which amounted to $175 million after taxes, according to news reports.

Wahl plans to convert the La Playa, which has been closed since 2016 when it was damaged in Hurricane Matthew, into a vacation timeshare resort, according to Tim Davis, a commercial Realtor with SVN Alliance Commercial Real Estate Advisors.

Davis represented a client who was the second-highest bidder for the La Playa in the April 23 auction held by Irvine, California-based Ten-X Commercial.

"Richard Wahl bought it,” said Davis. "He (now) lives in Sarasota. His intention is to turn it into a timeshare. … I don’t know how much due diligence he has done. It will be interesting to see how feasible it is.”

Davis said he visited the nine-story La Playa on behalf of his client prior to the auction and said while the property which opened in 1975 appeared to be "relatively dry, it’s extremely outdated. I think it could cost at least $100,000 per unit (or a total of $23.9 million) to renovate.”

"It still would be cheaper than building new, which would most likely cost at least $200,000 per room,” he said.Davis said, "my only caution is (Wahl is) not a traditional hotelier or buyer. He just won the Powerball.. … It’s a strange sale.”Davis said the client he represented had wanted to repair and modernize the La Playa so it could reopen as a hotel.

Bob Davis, the CEO of the Lodging & Hospitality Association of Volusia County and no relation to Tim Davis, confirmed that the La Playa was sold by Summit Hospitality Management Group to Wahl.

"He (Wahl) had to invest his money to get the tax credit,” Bob Davis said. "It’s a good piece of property in a good location, but I think that timeshares have had their day. People aren’t investing in timeshares (like they once were) because they can’t get out of the contracts. If that’s what he wants to do with his money, God bless him.”

Wahl, via his 2500 North Atlantic Avenue LLC, recently filed a notice of commencement with the county for a planned "remodel and renovation” of the La Playa, with the general contractor identified in the filing as NashBuilt Inc. of Pensacola, according to the Volusia County Clerk of Court website.

Nigeria is expected to receive samples of COVID-Organics, a herbal medicine used by Madagascar to treat COVID-19 patients.To get more news about chinese herbal medicine, you can visit shine news official website.
The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, made this known at the daily Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 briefing on Monday.
Mr Mustapha said the medicine has been sent to Guinea Bissau from where it will be sent to different countries.
"The herbal medicine has been freighted to Guinea Bissau by the president of Madagascar and certain allocations have been made to different countries.
"We have an indication of the quantity that has been allocated to Nigeria and we are supposed to make an arrangement to freight it out of Guinea Bissau to Nigeria,” he said.
‘Wonder mixture’

Since its launch by the President of Madagascar, Andry Rajoelina, in April, the use of the herbal remedy to treat COVID-19 patients has been trailed by a lot of debates.
In response to the launch of COVID-Organics, WHO told the BBC in a statement that it did not "recommend self-medication with any medicines as prevention or cure for COVID-19.”
The health organisation said only products shown to be effective through scientific study would be endorsed by them.
Mr Rajoelina, however, insisted that the medicine, which contains Artemisia- a plant on the Island used in the fight against malaria, could prevent and cure patients infected with the virus.
Countries like Tanzania, Comoros, Guinea-Bissau, and the Republic of Congo have indicated interest in the herbal remedy.Mr Mustapha, who doubles as the chairman of the Task Force, noted that the herbal medicine will go through standard validation process before it can be considered for use in Nigeria.
"I have received instructions from Mr President to make arrangements to freight it home, with a clear instruction that I should subject it to the validation process similar to what will happen to any other medicine or syrup or vaccine that is discovered or created internally.
"So it will be subjected to the same process before it is put into any form of use. There’ll be no exception for that,” he said.
Plant extract

Meanwhile, at the briefing, the minister of health, Osagie Ehanire, said the plant used for the herbal medicine grows in the country.
He said the expected samples will be compared with the strain in Nigeria to ascertain its similarities.
"We understand that it is something called Artemisia Annua, which also grows here. But we would like to get that sample and compare it with the strain here to know if they are exactly identical or similar and then see what properties it has.
"It will be subjected to analysis to find out what works in there and how it works and is used in getting a cure.

Wuhan reported five new cases on Monday, after confirming its first case since 3 April on Sunday.To get more news about coronavirus wuhan, you can visit shine news official website.
Authorities said the small cluster of cases were all from the same residential compound.
China has been easing restrictions in recent weeks and cases had been declining.
Health authorities and experts have warned that as countries emerge from strict lockdowns and people move around more freely, a rise in infections is likely.
The small Wuhan cluster is the first to emerge since the end of the strict lockdown on 8 April. One of the five cases reported on Monday was the wife of an 89-year-old man who became the first confirmed case in the city in well over a month on Sunday.All of the latest cases were previously classified as asymptomatic – meaning they tested positive for the virus but were not exhibiting clinical signs such as a cough or fever.
Such people can spread the virus despite not being sick, but China does not count asymptomatic cases in its official tally of confirmed infections until they show symptoms.
Hundreds of asymptomatic cases are being monitored by Wuhan health authorities.
Meanwhile over the weekend, Shulan city in Jilin province, near the borders with Russia and North Korea, reported 11 new cases.Chinese state media reported that 11 domestically transmitted cases had been recorded in Shulan on Saturday.
A day later, the city declared martial law and went into lockdown, with the government ordering all public places to be temporarily shut, said a Global Times report.
Shulan has been upgraded to high-risk, the only city in the country with this designation.
All residents have been told to stay home and only one family member is allowed out each day to buy essential products.
All public transportation has been suspended and taxis are not allowed to leave the city.It comes after China had last week declared that all regions in the country were designated as low risk.
Nearby Jilin city has also upgraded its risk level from low to medium after seeing two new cases – and there are now fears that the wider province could be in danger.
Other cities in the province are now on high alert. The nearby Changchun city and Dongfeng county says all those returning from Shulan will have to be quarantined for 14 days. Train services from Shulan to several cities have also been suspended.
The neighbouring province of Liaoning reported one new case on Sunday – a 23-year-old who had recently returned from Jilin.The infections were all linked to a 45-year-old who is a laundry worker at a local public security bureau. She later went on to infect her husband, three sisters and other family members.
But it’s unclear how the woman herself might have become infected. Reports say she had no recent travel history outside the province, and no known contact with anyone that’s known to be exposed to the virus. A total of 276 of her close contacts have been placed in quarantine, reported China Daily.
But it’s possible that the location of the province might have played a part – it borders both North Korea and Russia.Officially, there have been no reported cases from North Korea though Russia has seen over 200,000 cases, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.
In recent weeks, the neighbouring border province of Heilongjiang has seen a spike in the number of imported cases, mainly made of Chinese citizens travelling back from Russia.
Similarly, eight people returning from Russia to Shulan between 8 – 30 April tested positive for the virus, according to one local government official. Some 300 other people who returned within this time frame were put into quarantine.
The secretary of the Jilin Provincial Committee has said that the city will trace every close contact, every suspicious person and every clue, adding that the actions of every infected person would be traced in an attempt to find the source.

Visitors in face masks streamed into Shanghai Disneyland as the theme park reopened Monday in a high-profile step toward reviving tourism that was shut down by the coronavirus pandemic.To get more news about coronavirus shanghai, you can visit shine news official website.

The House of Mouse’s experience in Shanghai, the first of its parks to reopen, foreshadows hurdles global leisure industries might face. Disney is limiting visitor numbers, requiring masks and checking for the virus’s telltale fever.

China, where the pandemic began in December, was the first country to reopen factories and other businesses after declaring the disease under control in March even as infections rise and controls are tightened in some other countries.

"A Disney park is a place unlike any other – where we are transported to wondrous worlds of fantasy and adventure to create unforgettable memories that will last a lifetime,” Shanghai Disney Resort president Joe Schott wrote in a Disney Parks Blog post Monday. "Today, we marked a return to those worlds, as Shanghai Disneyland reopened its gates to welcome guests and fans.”

He added: "For myself – and for our Shanghai Disney Resort cast members, who have taken great care to prepare the park for our guests – this is a very special moment. Making magic means even more to us today, as we reflect on the resilience of our community; our wonderful cast members who worked so diligently to preserve the park during the closure; the enthusiasm of our guests and fans; and, of course, the determination and dedication of the medical workers and first responders who helped to make this possible.”
Tourism has been hit especially hard by controls imposed around the world that shut down airline and cruise ship travel, theme parks and cinemas. Disney blamed a 91% plunge in its latest quarter profit on $1.4 billion in virus-related costs.

Shanghai Disneyland and Disney’s park in Hong Kong closed on Jan. 25 as China isolated cities with 60 million people to try to contain the outbreak. Tokyo Disneyland closed the following month and parks in the United States and Europe in March.

"We hope that today’s reopening serves as a beacon of light across the globe, providing hope and inspiration to everyone,” Schott told reporters.

China has allowed shops and offices to reopen but is keeping cinemas, bars, karaoke parlors and other businesses closed.

Disney guests, some wearing Mickey Mouse ears, and children in Little Mermaid, Mulan, Minnie Mouse and Snow White costumes were checked Monday for fever at the park gate and then walked down nearly empty lanes as employees waved to them. The company’s signature tune, "When You Wish Upon a Star,” played over loudspeakers.
Decals on sidewalks and at lines for attractions show visitors where to stand to keep themselves separated. The company said rides will be limited to one group of visitors per car to keep strangers apart.

"We don’t want people too close — front, back or side,” said Andrew Bolstein, the park’s senior vice president for operations.

The company said its plans were based on the experience of Disneytown, an adjacent shopping and entertainment facility that reopened earlier in the 1,000-acre (400-hectare) Shanghai Disney Resort.

Advance reservations are required and visitors are assigned times to enter. The company said earlier guest numbers will be limited to one-third of the usual daily level of 80,000 at the start and will gradually increase.

"Excited about the opening of the gate!” people in the first group of guests shouted as they entered the park at 9:30 a.m.

　　German‘s top court warned that part of the European Central Bank(ECB)’s practices may be illegal, and partially rejected ECB‘s quantitative easing plan.

　　Event recap:
　　One of his friends introduced to him a trader named Michael O Bolton, who worked for UniversalFX. The investor was invited to join a Facebook group, which provided customer service support to customers. The investor bought US$2,720 of BTC at UniversalFX. After a few months, his investment had grown to US$28,500.
　　The investor filed a withdrawal application and was informed by Michael O Bolton that he needed to pay 10% extra tax fee before withdrawing. The investor was wondering why UniversalFX did not deduct it from his account balance, but needed an additional payment, so he asked the UniversalFX whether they can charge it from his account balance. But the trader, Michael O Bolton, rejected the proposal by saying that UniversalFX never allowed such a practice, and the investor was later blocked by Michael from the Facebook group. UniversalFX refused to approve his withdrawal application unless he pay the so-called tax.

Even though a bunch of US economic indicators are looking good and interest rates are low, half of investment-grade corporate bonds are just one notch above junk status.This could be because levered US corporates have used their debt in ways that aren’t productive for the economy and don’t contribute to corporate profitability.That means that as the economy shows signs of slowing, weak hands could have a harder time servicing their debt.This is an opinion column. The thoughts expressed are those of the author.Visit Business Insider’s homepage for more stories.To get more news about wikifx, you can visit wikifx news official website.
　　"Our economy is the best it’s ever been,” President Donald Trump said while touting his administration’s policies during his State of the Union speech this week.He cited a rising stock market, low unemployment numbers, and rising wages — which have yet to compare to precrisis boom times but are still inching up — all as reasons to rejoice.And indeed, consumer confidence, as measured by The Conference Board, increased to 131.6 in January from 126.5 in December. It was the survey’s highest reading since August.Unfortunately, this message of prosperity has clearly not reached America’s corporate-bond market.There, in the space where companies trade their debt, it appears conditions are deteriorating. As Scott Minerd, the global chief investment officer of Guggenheim Investments, said at the World Economic Forum last month, 50% of the investment-grade corporate bond market is rated BBB by credit-rating agencies, a notch above the level where debt is considered "junk bonds” (or as we now say politely on Wall Street, "speculative grade”). In 2007 that number was 35%.
　　That so many companies are teetering on the edge worries Minerd, to say the least."We expect 15% to 20% of BBBs to get downgraded to high yield in the next downgrade wave: This would equate to $500 [billion] to $660 billion and be the largest fallen angel volume on record — and would also swamp the high-yield market,” he said. "Ultimately, we will reach a tipping point when investors will awaken to the rising tide of defaults and downgrades. The timing is hard to predict, but this reminds me a lot of the lead-up to the 2001 and 2002 recession.”But why worry, Minerd？ Yes, corporate debt is high — nearing $10 trillion and pushing the US to a record 47% debt-GDP ratio — but interest rates are low and don’t appear to be going up anytime soon. Plus, corporations have cash. Under these economic conditions, you could argue that corporations in need could just refinance their debt and be fine. It’s why some say that bond bears are overstating the risk here.It’s what you do with itBut there are two problems with this way of thinking. One is, of course, that rosy financial conditions will not continue forever. The other is that, as the folks over at the International Monetary Fund wrote in their "Global Financial Stability Report” last fall, corporate debt "has risen and is increasingly used for financial risk-taking — to fund corporate payouts to investors, as well as mergers and acquisitions (M&A), especially in the United States.”
　　Put another way, it isn’t just that this debt exists; it’s that it’s being used in ways that aren’t particularly productive for the overall economy. Balance sheets are getting loaded up, but companies don’t have much to show for it aside from soaring stock prices.Despite the magnanimity of Trump’s corporate tax cut, starting last year business investment has been in its longest slump since 2009. Instead of using cash to invest in things that would make the economy and their companies more productive — like new equipment, better-trained or paid workers, or research and development — corporate America just paid out its shareholders and itself.In 2018, "the S&P 500 Index did a combined $806 billion in buybacks, about $200 billion more than the previous record set in 2007,” according to the Harvard Business Review. Goldman Sachs called corporate buybacks "the most dominant source” of demand for stocks last year, while warning that purchases were beginning to wane.Say what you want about buybacks, but they don’t make the economy or a company more productive. They don’t pave the way to higher corporate profits. Neither do dividends to shareholders. And it seems this lack of investment is starting to show in our economy. In the third quarter of last year, productivity fell for the first time since 2015. It is a trend that some economists, such as Ian Sheperdson, the chief economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics, say is likely to stay with us for a bit."The year-over-year rate of growth of real business capex has slowed from a recent peak of 6.9%, in Q2 2018, to just 0.3% in the fourth quarter of last year,” he wrote in a recent note to clients.
　　"A dip below zero, for the first time in five years, looks almost inevitable in the first quarter, thanks to the combination of adverse base effects and a near-flat trend in the quarterly run rate. Against that backdrop, we are confident that productivity growth will slow this year, to about 1%. The fourth quarter increase was probably about 1.6% annualized, but that’s just not sustainable as businesses pull back their spending.”A dangerous cocktailNow, combine high debt levels with a misallocation of capital and the fact that corporate profits have been falling for the last two quarters. Sure stocks are ripping, but according to FactSet companies in the S&P 500 are projected to report a 2% decline in fourth quarter earnings from the same time in 2018. That is why Goldman Sachs said stock buybacks are about to ebb too.if you want know more,Download wikifx

You won’t catch Barry Nelson buying a lottery ticket, no matter how big that jackpot gets.Get more news about 菲律宾彩票包网服务 ,you can vist loto98.com
Nelson is a data scientist who specializes in probability and statistics at Northwestern University’s McCormick School of Engineering. And from his mathematical vantage point, that shot is just way too long.Nelson cites the "expected value” — a formula that factors in the jackpot amount and the probability of winning it — to determine it’s simply not worth the money.
"If you played over and over and over again, you’d still lose,” he said. "It’s just like in Las Vegas. The house has the advantage.”
But it’s not just ticket-seekers throwing reason to the wind who have gotten us to where we are now: a historic jackpot of $1.6 billion on the line Tuesday night.
Last year, the Mega Millions lottery made three changes in the game that improved the odds of matching five numbers for a $1 million payout but lessened the chance of matching all six numbers to release the minimum $40 million prize. The longer chances also made the jackpot roll over more often.The sticker shock of such prizes — Tuesday’s jackpot will be followed by a Wednesday night Powerball drawing for an estimated $620 million — can fuel intoxicating fantasies.
Those fantasies may have played on Kit Yarrow’s mind when she stopped by a 7-Eleven on Saturday and bought a Mega Millions ticket. Then again, maybe it was the chance to join the excitement. Maybe both.
"People who really have no interest, they still want to be part of it,” Yarrow, an author and emerita psychology professor at Golden Gate University in San Francisco who specializes in consumer behavior, said Monday. "It’s sharing a cultural experience in a way.”So many issues these days seem to trigger outrage and argument, Yarrow said. Buying a lottery ticket can allow people to establish a common bond, she said. People tend to enjoy pondering how they would spend the money.
"People are a little bit crazy,” Yarrow said. "Mostly, it’s really pretty harmless.”
The problems start, she added, when people who can least afford lottery tickets buy more when the astronomical jackpots emerge.
"Anybody who can’t afford to lose it shouldn’t buy a ticket,” she said.
In Mega Millions, players personally select or allow lottery gaming machines to randomly pick six numbers. A player who matches the first five numbers selected wins $1 million.
If the sixth number — the Mega Ball — also matches, that player wins the Mega Millions jackpot, which on Tuesday will total an estimated $1.6 billion.
The three changes Mega Millions made in October 2017 included narrowing the range of numbers from which players select, Illinois Lottery spokesman Jason Schaumburg said.
Players choose five numbers from 1 to 70 — instead of the previous 1 to 75. That change improves a player’s chances of hitting those numbers correctly, Schaumburg said.
At the same time, he said, Mega Millions officials widened the range of numbers from which players select their Mega Ball number — 1 to 25, instead of 1 to 15. That change lessens the likelihood of hitting the enormous jackpot, Schaumburg said.
Mega Millions officials also doubled the price of a playing a game to $2.
The odds are still mind-blowing: about 1 in 302 million for matching all six numbers and about 1 in 12 million for matching five numbers, according to the Mega Millions website.
In trying to boil down an explanation for why people would take such a high risk, Northwestern University psychiatry and behavioral sciences professor Dr. Hans C. Breiter said the human mind tends to place more importance on — or "overweight” — events that probably never will happen, such as winning a lottery.
At the same time, we place less importance on events that probably will happen, such as needing medical insurance for health problems associated with aging, Breiter added.

Walt Disney Co. will kick off its strategy next week to begin restoring its lucrative parks business that has suffered $1 billion in lost profits from the coronavirus-led shutdown.
Disney said on Tuesday it will reopen its Shanghai Disneyland park on May 11 but severely limit the number of guests and enforce strict social distancing measures on rides and in restaurants.To get more shanghai breaking news, you can visit shine news official website.

The plans provide a glimpse at how the company – which in previous quarters generated a third of its revenue from parks, experiences and consumer products – will recover from the pandemic.

"We will take a phased approach with limits on attendance using an advanced reservation and entry system, controlled guest density using social distancing and strict government required health and prevention procedures,” Disney Chief Executive Officer Robert Chapek said on a conference call with analysts after reporting second-quarter earnings.

"These include the use of masks, temperature screenings and other contact tracing and early detection systems.”Executives said they have "limited visibility” over the timing on when other parks, stores and the company’s cruise line would reopen.

The stakes are high: more than half of the $1 billion in second-quarter operating profit declines came from just two weeks of closure of Disney’s U.S. parks, Chief Financial Officer Christine McCarthy told analysts on Tuesday, with the rest coming from the closure of parks in Asia and its smaller, but popular cruise business.

To quickly reduce overhead, Disney furloughed more than 120,000 employees in April.Chapek said the company would only reopen locations that would not lose money."We would not reopen any park unless we can make at least a positive contribution to that overhead and operating profit level,” he said.

In China, Disney executives explained, the company will take it slow to test new ideas. Guests at Shanghai Disneyland will be required to purchase admission tickets valid on a selected date only, and annual pass holders will need to make a reservation prior to arrival.

Ride vehicles, lines and restaurants will be set up to follow social distancing guidelines. Guests and employees will be required to wear masks, which guests can remove when dining.

Guests’ temperatures will be screened and the park will use the government-issued Shanghai Health QR code, a contact tracing and early detection system used in China. Sanitization and disinfection will occur more frequently, the company said.

Disney Chief Medical Officer Dr. Pam Hymel said the company is exploring ways to use technology such as its Play Disney Parks App to help with those efforts, according to a Disney blog post on Tuesday. Reuters previously reported that guests could be notified via app or another technology when they can go on a ride or in a restaurant to eliminate lines.

Chapek said Shanghai Disney Resort, which includes Shanghai Disneyland theme park and other properties that have previously been reopened, tends to attract 80,000 guests a day.The Chinese government is limiting that capacity to 24,000 daily guests but Disney is planning to open the park "far below” that capacity to try out new procedures, Chapek said. After a few weeks park attendance will be up to the government’s guidelines, he added.

Disney announced plans to reopen Shanghai Disneyland next week after a three-month coronavirus closure as the company revealed its theme park division absorbed a $1 billion loss as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic that has shuttered all of its parks around the globe.To get more shanghai news today, you can visit shine news official website.

Disney’s dependence on big crowds has made the Burbank company’s sprawling empire of theme parks, hotels, restaurants, shops, movie studios, theatrical shows, cruise ships and sports networks particularly vulnerable to the COVID-19 pandemic.

New Disney CEO Bob Chapek and Executive Chairman Bob Iger outlined the company’s financial troubles on Tuesday, May 5, during the first earnings report since the coronavirus crisis hit the United States.While the COVID-19 pandemic has had an appreciable financial impact on a number of our businesses, we are confident in our ability to withstand this disruption and emerge from it in a strong position,” Chapek said in a statement. "Disney has repeatedly shown that it is exceptionally resilient, bolstered by the quality of our storytelling and the strong affinity consumers have for our brands, which is evident in the extraordinary response to Disney+ since its launch last November.”

The Shanghai Disneyland theme park will reopen on Monday, May 11, Chapek said. The Shanghai Disneyland resort had previously reopened its outdoor shopping district and a hotel. Capacity and density will be reduced and health and safety protocols will be introduced at Disney theme parks, Chapek said.While it’s too early to predict when we’ll be able to begin resuming all of our operations, we are evaluating a number of different scenarios to ensure a cautious, sensible and deliberate approach to the eventual reopening of our parks,” Chapek said on the earnings conference call.

Disney’s theme park division took a $1 billion hit in operating income in the second quarter due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Revenue declined $628 million for the quarter for Disney’s Parks, Experiences and Consumer Products division. Disney has paused $900 million in construction and refurbishment projects at its theme parks as a result of the coronavirus outbreak.Attendance and visitor spending at Disney’s U.S. parks had been higher prior to the closure of the Disneyland and Walt Disney World resorts amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Attendance at Disney’s U.S. theme parks was down 11% during the quarter.

People find comfort and inspiration in our messages of hope and optimism,” Iger said on the conference call. "We believe people will resume familiar activities once this crisis ends. They miss doing the things they enjoy. Things that make them feel happy and connected with family and friends.”

The COVID-19 pandemic has devastated the entertainment giant. Disney’s 12 theme parks around the globe are shuttered. The company’s eight movie studios are at a near standstill. Disney’s four cruise ships are docked under a no-sail order. Its three Broadway shows have gone dark. ESPN has no live sports to broadcast. The lone bright spot: The Disney+ and Hulu streaming services are humming with so many stay-at-home orders.

"The response to Disney+ in particular has exceeded even our highest expectations,” Chapek said on the conference call.Disney’s second quarter earnings report only offers a glimpse of the fiscal pain the company is facing — capturing only the first two weeks of the COVID-19 crisis in the U.S. that is now approaching the two-month mark.

The country’s national medical academy (Anamem) has also cast doubt on the efficacy of Andry Rajoelina’s touted prevention and remedy.To get more news about chinese herbal medicine, you can visit shine news official website.
It said it had the potential to damage people’s health as its "scientific evidence had not been established”.
The plant-based tonic is to be given free of charge to the most vulnerable.
Launched as Covid-Organics, it is produced from the artemisia plant – the source of an ingredient used in a malaria treatment – and other Malagasy plants.It was being marketed in a bottle and as a herbal tea after being tested on fewer than 20 people over a period of three weeks, the president’s chief of staff Lova Hasinirina Ranoromaro told the BBC.
Tests have been carried out – two people have now been cured by this treatment,” Mr Rajoelina said at the launch of Covid-Organics at the Malagasy Institute of Applied Research (Imra), which developed the tonic.
"This herbal tea gives results in seven days,” said the 45-year-old president, who also urged people to use it as a preventative measure.
"Schoolchildren should be given this to drink… little by little throughout the day,” he told the diplomats and other dignitaries gathered for the launch.
Dr Charles Andrianjara, Imra’s director general, agreed that Covid-Organics should be used for prevention.
He was more cautious about its use as a cure, but said that clinical observations had shown "a trend towards its effectiveness as a curative remedy”, the AFP news agency quotes him as saying.In response to the launch of Covid-Organics, the WHO said, in a statement sent to the BBC, that the global organisation did not recommend "self-medication with any medicines… as a prevention or cure for Covid-19″.
It reiterated earlier comments by WHO head Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus that there were "no short-cuts” to finding effective mediation to fight coronarvirus.Ms Ranoromaro said President Rajoelina was aware that the WHO had to abide by its protocols but said it came down to a matter of sovereignty.
"He has duty to Malagasy people,” she said.
‘Bubonic plague’
Professor Brian Klaas, an expert on Madagascar at University College London, said Mr Rajoelina’s stance could cause Malagasy citizens more harm than good.
"It’s dangerous for two reasons – one is that some people will be taking it who should not be taking it,” he told BBC Newsday.
"And secondly that it will give people a false sense of security, so they’ll end up doing things that they would not otherwise have done and put themselves and others at greater risk.”
If the virus did begin to spread, it could be "devastating” as the country’s healthcare system was weak, with only six ventilators for a population of 27 million people, he said.
"It’s also one of the reasons why the island is one of the only places on the planet that regularly has outbreaks of bubonic plague, which is readily cured with the right medicine.”

In settling the CFTC case, Daewoo will pay $700,000 though it didn‘t admit or deny the agency’s allegations.To get more news about wikifx, you can visit wikifx news official website.

　　The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) today settled a spoofing case with South Koreas Mirae Asset Daewoo, who the agency said its traders made profits by entering spoofing orders in futures traded on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME).
　　The ex-traders at Daewoo Securities Co. Ltd, a company Mirae acquired after the spoofing issue, on numerous occasions placed orders to buy or sell futures contracts with the intent to cancel those orders before they were executed. The spoofing scheme ran from at least December 2014 through April 2016 and focused on E-mini S&P 500 contracts listed on the CME futures market.
　　In settling the CFTC case, Daewoo will pay $700,000 though it didn‘t admit or deny the agency’s allegations. The CFTC also credited Mirae for its cooperation since learning of the traders‘ misconduct, which the regulator says it expedited the resolution of this matter and reduced the monetary penalty.
　　Spoofing, in general, is a practice in which a trader floods the marketwith fake orders by entering and quickly canceling large buy or sell orders on an exchange, in order to fool other traders into thinking that the market is poised to rise or fall.
　　Regulators stepped up their policing of spoofing
　　The CFTC described the alleged plot, explaining one strategy that Daewoos traders employed and involved three steps. First, the trader placed orders without intending to execute them to try to move prices in their favor.
　　While theres nothing wrong with canceling orders, the regulator said the trader capitalized on the increased buying or selling interest that spoof orders created. He placed the genuine order, which he intended to execute, on the opposite side of the market. Third, the spoof orders were canceled within seconds of the genuine order being filled and only after prices moved in the direction the spoofer wants.
　　As such, Daewoos traders falsely represented they had made bids, and while non-existent trades had taken place to create an illusion to encourage other investors to trade against their genuine orders and move the market for their own benefit.
　　Deutsche Bank, HSBC, and UBS were all hit by spoofing penalties, the largest of which was a $30 million fine for Germanys biggest bank. The Swiss bank UBS has also found itself facing similar accusations after some of its spot traders used phony trade orders to manipulate precious metals futures traded on the COMEX.if you want know more,Download wikifx
