Question: Top Democrat Governors Get Stunning Bad News

As politics seem to become more divided throughout the nation, a new controversy has risen as to the number of people leaving Democrat-run states versus those run by Republicans.
As reported by Forbes, the Democratic Governors Association made a slight at Republican Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner through a tweet about the seemingly “mass exodus” of citizens that have left Illinois in favor of other states, attempting to paint a picture of continued “outmigration from the Land of Lincoln.”
“With that tweet, the DGA is trying to make the public dumber,” wrote Forbes contributor Patrick Gleason. “The DGA knows full well that Gov. Bruce Rauner doesn’t run his state.”
Gleason suggested that the true figure presiding over Illinois politics is Democrat House Speaker Mike Madigan, who has overseen for nearly 34 years the decline of the once-great state.

“By attempting to pin Illinois’ continued decline on Gov. Rauner, the DGA is either ignorant about how Illinois politics works, or they are lying,” Gleason added. “Most likely the latter, but either way it’s not good.”
Over the last year, nearly 33,000 Illinois citizens have “fled” Illinois, though Gleason pointed to the fact that the numbers were much worse during Democrat Gov. Pat Quinn’s time in office.
Under Rauner’s predecessor, 247,410 people left the state in favor of those such as North Carolina, Texas, Florida and even Arizona, as they were regarded as “better stewards of taxpayer dollars.”

According to IRS migration data, those 247,410 left for states that were known to be better-run and have lower taxes, taking nearly $13.7 billion with them.
And Gleason suggests that, though the DGA refuses to consider interstate migration data, numbers in other sectors seem only to get worse as governors such as California’s Jerry Brown are scrutinized.
Since his reinstatement as governor in 2011, nearly 243,099 people have fled California in favor of other states, essentially taking with them $7.794 billion with them to those states that don’t have soaring taxes and housing regulations that make living seemingly unaffordable for middle-class households.
Texas and Nevada has been the top two recipients from those moving from the Golden State, and they also happen to be two states that have zero income tax, while California holds the highest top marginal income tax rate in America.

“Policy, like elections, has consequences,” Gleason wrote, adding that both the tax hikes championed by Brown on both corporate and personal income tax might be a main reason for the exodus of Californians.
However, Gleason suggests the cost of living will only further be driven up, as the Golden State was one of the hardest hit after Brown approved an extension of he cap and trade program that was renewed earlier in 2017.
The result will be an even more bruised middle class, who are estimated to face what will essentially be a regressive tax hike as gas prices and utility bills become more exorbitant.
“Cap & trade makes Gov. Brown, Democratic lawmakers who run the state legislature with such large majorities they don’t even feel the need to discipline sexual offenders in their caucus, and their supporters feel good about themselves,” Gleason said.
“But the program doesn’t improve the environment,” he added. “In fact, California, even with its cap & trade program and renewable energy mandate, is home to 8 of the 10 cities with the nation’s worst air pollution.”
Things may even become worse, Gleason suggests, as New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo becomes a 2020 presidential contender, as the Democrat governor has a history of running both employers and families from his state as the cost of living becomes too high to cope.
“People are voting with their feet and we are seeing them vote in favor of states that have more limited government, lower taxes, and more sustainable levels of spending,” Gleason added, who stated the mass exodus of Blue-run states may only increase.
“As such they are leaving states run by Democratic governors and legislatures,” he added. “That’s why it was odd for the DGA to think it a good idea to focus on migration data, as it does not bode well for Democrats.”

Question: Big Ben to fall silent in London next week as repairs start

Represent this text to find a news title for it.

LONDON — Big Ben will fall silent next week in London as a major restoration project gets underway.
The bongs of the iconic bell will be stopped on Aug. 21 to protect workers during a four-year, 29-million-pound ($38 million) conservation project that includes repair of the Queen Elizabeth Tower, which houses Big Ben and its clock.
Steve Jaggs, keeper of the Great Clock, said Monday that the mechanism will be dismantled piece by piece and its four dials will be cleaned and repaired.
Big Ben has been stopped several times since it first sounded in 1859, but the current restoration project will mark the longest period of silence for the bell.

Hundreds of thousands of people gathered across the UK on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day to ring in 2017 amid heightened police security. Dazzling fireworks displays enchanted crowds in London and Edinburgh waiting to celebrate the new year, as the country was on high alert following this year's terrorist atrocities in Europe.

Question: Sharks off to a T20 Blast flyer in Essex

This news article should be represented to find a fitting news title!

Michael Burgess and Laurie Evans smashed 81 in a six-and-a-half-over stand for the fourth wicket to set up Sussex with a 36-run win in the Vitality T20 Blast opener at Chelmsford.
Burgess, having his first T20 knock for Sussex, finished with five sixes in a 23-ball 56, while Evans’s 61 took 45 balls. The Sharks’ 181 for six, after electing to bat, looked slightly under-par, but David Wiese ripped the heart out of the Eagles batting with five for 24, including three wickets in five balls in his fourth over.
Varun Chopra led the chase with 64 from 48 balls, including three sixes, but his exit sparked a late collapse with the last five wickets falling for two runs in eight balls as Essex finished 36 runs short.
Luke Wright counts Chelmsford as one of his lucky grounds – having hit 153 not out four years ago – but lasted just two balls this time, cutting the first backward of square for four before being beaten for pace by Jamie Porter. The seamer had a second when Phil Salt pulled him to the midwicket boundary where Matt Coles took the catch above his head.
Essex’s overseas signing, Australian leg-spinner Adam Zampa, was down on one knee imploring for lbw against Tom Bruce with his second delivery, but nailed the New Zealander two balls later when his next appeal was successful.
The Sharks were 36 for three, but Burgess joined Evans and the pair had advanced the score by fifty inside four overs. Burgess reached his half-century from just 20 balls, with three fours and five sixes, the majority of them straight down the ground. Coles bore the brunt of Burgess’s assault, his first two overs going for 32, as the middle overs cost the Eagles dear.
But on 56, Burgess landed a full-toss from Sam Cook into the hands of sub fielder Dan Lawrence at wide mid-on. Laurie Evans was less demonstrative, but reached his fifty from 36 balls before lifting Coles to Simon Harmer just inside the rope at extra cover.
Jofra Archer played an entertaining 18-ball cameo at the end for 24, hitting Ravi Bopara for six over long-leg, and falling on his back as he turned Coles from outside off-stump for four to fine leg. He found himself lying on his back again but with partner David Wiese staring down at him, and was run out by Bopara’s spin and direct hit to the non-striker’s end.
Archer made amends in his first over, having Adam Wheater caught pulling at deep midwicket, but in his second over was dumped over point for six by Chopra. Essex had just passed 50 when Wiese claimed two wickets in four balls with Tom Westley bowled and Ryan ten Doeschate caught behind without scoring.
Rashid Khan accounted for Bopara when Phil Salt took the catch at midwicket, but Chopra punished him next ball with his third six of the night over long-off. His fourth four, caressed through the covers, took Chopra to his fifty from 36 balls and Essex past 100 in the 14th over.
However, the rate was rising. It started at just over nine, was 11 at halfway and 13 with five overs left. When Chopra went, playing on to Khan, the situation looked terminal. Ashar Zaidi showed some resistance, hitting Will Beer for six to cow corner, but became Wiese’s third victim to Ollie Robinson’s third catch.
Two more wickets in his last over gave Wiese his five-wicket haul. Coles went first ball when he pulled the ball to Bruce on the midwicket fence, and then Zampa played over one and was bowled. Archer sent Harmer on his way with his stumps splattered before bowling Cook with two balls left.

Question: Homeopathy Product Market: Market in Middle East and Africa to Witness Most Promising Growth

This news article should be represented to find a fitting news title

The global homeopathy product market has been experiencing a heavy presence of small and medium enterprises (SMEs), as noted by Transparency Market Research (TMR) in its latest report. This could be evident from a just over 27.0% share jointly accumulated by five leading players in 2015. In the same year, a 17.3% share was secured by Boiron Group, which is considered to be significant enough to influence the direction of the market. The company has been able to hold a commanding position in the industry due to its telling presence in key regions such as the Middle East and Africa (MEA), Asia Pacific, North America, and Europe.
Request for the Sample Report @ https://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/sample/sample.php?flag=S&rep_id=16460
Domain experts at TMR prognosticate the global homeopathy product market to make a drastic progress during the forecast tenure 2016-2024 at an 18.2% CAGR. As the final forecast year sees completion, the market could post a revenue collection of US$17.4 bn progressing from a US$3.8 bn collected in 2015. Dilutions are foreseen to be a lucrative product to focus on since they could bag a king’s share of the market while expanding at a CAGR of 17.8%. Although the MEA could rank higher on the basis of CAGR, Europe is anticipated to outclass every other region with its dominating share of a 36.4% by 2024.
Homeopathy product manufacturers could cash in on the increasing concerns of allopathic medicines on the part of their high usage. The prolonged usage of allopathic medicines could have serious side effects, about which consumers and non-consumers are becoming increasingly aware. Seasoned analysts expect this to be a crucial factor escalating the demand in the world homeopathy product market since consumers are desperately looking for alternative treatments.

A TMR analyst has stated that the market is predicted to be on the brink of being a mainstay in most important regions. An independent survey conducted in the recent past had revealed a lush amount of spending on homeopathy products in North America alone. Manufacturers of homeopathy products are envisioned to keep a close eye on the rise of various diseases around the globe, which has been swelling the requirement of different drugs and medicines.
Suppliers of homeopathy products are envisaged to suffer when operating in the global market because of a substantial shortfall in quality control. It could be challenging to implement quality assurance standards with a consolidated effort because a considerable part of the total market revenue is collected by SMEs dispersed across key regions. Manufacturers are prophesied to face the brunt of reduced demand and negative customer experience on account of the lack of adherence to sound manufacturing practices, thus compromising product quality to a significant degree.
Request for Report TOC @ https://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/report-toc/16460
However, players have been taking to the adoption of powerful business strategies such as geographical expansion into the MEA and Asia Pacific and strong promotional and marketing activities to cement their position in the international homeopathy product market. Moreover, there has been an intelligent usage of the extremely influential ecommerce marketplace, which could be an evidence of competent opportunities prevailing in the industry.

Question: Indian IT Outsourcers Anxious Over Potential Changes To H1-B Visas

With the Trump administration vowing to tighten rules for skilled workers entering the United States, India's software services companies are worried. Indian IT giants outsource tens of thousands of tech specialists to the United States each year, and limiting the visa program that brings them in could disrupt their multibillion-dollar industry.
Congress and the White House have targeted what is arguably the most coveted of U.S. visas: the H1-B. It's "a kind of temporary work visa that allows professionals from other countries to work in the United States for a designated U.S. employer," explains Stephen Yale-Loehr, a Cornell University immigration law professor.
Yale-Loehr says that with the economy strengthening, the program is in particularly big demand. Last year, U.S. companies that sought to bring highly skilled workers to the U.S. filed 236,000 petitions that went into a lottery for just 85,000 H1-B visas, the legal cap. The bulk of the winners: Indian computer specialists, many of them graduates of U.S. universities.
Yale-Loehr says that places like Europe and Australia have special visas to attract such talent, but that the United States doesn't.
"We have to shoehorn high-tech workers into categories like the H1-B, and it's getting more difficult every year," he says.
For many H1-B holders, the temporary work visa — issued for a maximum of six years — has been a stepping stone to obtaining a green card. That grants permanent residence in the U.S., and in turn provides a path to citizenship.
But newly introduced legislation in Congress and drafts of executive orders reportedly circulating in the Trump White House that could limit the H1-B program.
Executives from the software services firms will travel to Washington this month to lobby against measures taking aim at one of India's most successful industries — which last year earned 60 percent of its $108 billion in export revenues from the U.S.
One bill proposes more than doubling the minimum wage of H1-B holders, which by law is set at $60,000. Critics argue the H1-B has been misused to displace American workers, and that there has been an incentive to prefer Indian IT workers because they are cheaper.
Shailesh Chitnis, with the data mining and analysis company Compile, says that while the median salary for all H1-B holders is $71,000, most but not all Indian outsourcers pay below that. If they had to double salaries, Chitnis says, Indian IT companies would have to change their 20-year-old business model.
"Because these organizations are not going to be bringing in people at $120,000 to fill those jobs — it would simply be too expensive," he says. "They'll have to look at some other alternatives."
But Shevendra Singh with India's National Association of Software Services Companies, or NASSCOM, refutes allegations that Indian companies are dislocating American workers or supplying low-paid labor. Singh says there is demand in the U.S. for Indian technical talent because of a severe shortage of qualified Americans with degrees in science, technology, engineering and math.
"The crux of the issue is the STEM skill shortage in the U.S.," Singh says.
In its 2012 report, the U.S. president's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology found that "fewer than 40-percent of students who enter college intending to major in a STEM field complete a STEM degree." The council concluded that by 2022, economic forecasts suggested a need to produce "approximately 1 million more college graduates in STEM fields than expected under current assumptions."
R. Chandrashekhar, president of NASSCOM, says that if the skills aren't available in the U.S. — and companies can't bring workers in — the jobs either won't get done or they will go out of the country and be done remotely.
"Talent has become more important than investment or trade," he says. "And those who consciously cut themselves off from the global supply chains of talent are depriving themselves of a good thing."
Chandrashekhar notes that the intermingling of American and Indian ingenuity helped build Silicon Valley, and says protectionist impulses could weaken the United States, and what makes it unique.
"America is No. 1," Chandrashekhar says. "What has really helped them to rise, absolutely, to the top, is that they have attracted talent from across the world. ... It would be really a pity if that was reversed without thinking it through."
Immigration expert Yale-Loehr, co-author of a 21-volume treatise on immigration law, agrees that the United States faces a crisis in maintaining its innovative and competitive edge, and says it should be inviting more, not less, IT talent to its shores.
"In a globalized economy, the best and the brightest want to work in the best places — and if they're unable work in the United States, or it takes too long or is too difficult, they'll find a place in Canada or Europe or India where their talents can be appreciated," he says.
If implemented, Yale-Loehr says the draft executive order would initiate a review of the H1-B program but likely have no direct, immediate impact.
However, he says "it sends a strong signal that we no longer like foreign workers — we're all about only U.S. workers.
"That is eventually going to hurt us."

ROBERT SIEGEL, HOST:
In India, tech companies are worried that the Trump administration is preparing to limit visas for foreign skilled workers. A huge number of those visas called H-1Bs are held by Indians, but Congress and the White House say the program could be a threat to American jobs. From New Delhi, NPR's Julie McCarthy has more.
JULIE MCCARTHY, BYLINE: In the alphabet soup of U.S. visas, the H-1B is arguably the most coveted.
STHEPHEN YALE-LOEHR: An H-1B visa is a kind of temporary work visa that allows professionals from other countries to work in the United States for a designated U.S. employer.
MCCARTHY: Cornell immigration law professor Stephen Yale-Loehr says the program is in big demand. Last year, U.S. companies that sought to bring high-skilled workers to the states filed 236,000 petitions that went to a lottery that drew just 85,000 H-1B visas. The bulk of the winners - Indian computer specialists, many graduates from U.S. universities. Yale-Loehr says places like Europe and Australia have special visas to attract such talent.
YALE-LOEHR: We don't, and so we have to shoehorn those high-tech workers into existing categories like the H-1B. And it's getting more difficult every year.
KELLY MCEVERS, HOST:
Newly introduced legislation in Congress and drafts of executive orders reportedly circulating in the Trump White House would tighten the H-1B program. The stakes are high for Indian IT firms.

CHANDRASHEKAR: America is number one. What has really helped them to rise absolutely to the top is that they have attracted talent from across the world, from every corner of the world. And that's what has made them who they are. It would be really a pity if that was reversed without thinking it through.

For instance you may be given '['i found this news title. can you represent it to find an explanatory news article?', 'From blackened sausages to gourmet grills: Barbecues through the decades']' and it should match with '['Represent the article to find a fitting news title.', 'Hannah Stephenson looks at barbecues through the ages, from the first kettle models to the high-tech gourmet griddles of today.\nIt’s barbecue season, when budding chefs – often in novelty aprons, tongs at the ready – fire up the barbie to cook everything from basic sausages, ribs and chicken drumsticks to more adventurous griddled veg, goat kebabs and lobster burgers.\nYet, a few decades ago, it took an age to light the barbecue. You’d be covered in soot from the charcoal, bellows at the ready, and all you would have at the end was inedible blackened sausages and scorched burgers.\nLike the food, barbecues have changed over the years – from the early kettle models, to the brick-built DIY projects of the 70s, to the stainless steel altars to gastronomy they have become today.\nBarbecue history\n“Despite looking fairly similar, the barbecue as we know it has gone on quite a journey,” says Vinny Iaciofano, outdoor buying manager at Argos, which is currently celebrating its 45th anniversary.\nBarbecues for sale in the 1987 Argos catalogue (Argos/PA)\n“From barbecue pits post World War Two, to the kettle barbecue which fed us in the 60s and 70s, through to the 80s which saw the rise of the larger outdoor cooking units we see today.\n“What has changed dramatically is the choice available, whether that be charcoal, gas or electric barbecues or briquettes, fire starters and smoking wood.”\n1950s\nGeorge Stephen, pioneer of the kettle barbecue (Weber/PA)\nAfter his attempts at cooking on a brick fireplace barbecue resulted in the food going up in flames because he couldn’t control the fire, George Stephen, a welder from Chicago, decided to take action.\nHe was working at Weber Brothers Metal Works where they made buoys for the Chicago harbour system. Half spheres of steel would be welded together to make a buoy and Stephen took one of the half spheres, put legs on it, punched holes in the bottom to get air moving through and put a lid on top. That was how the first kettle barbecue evolved.\nFrançois Lepeltier, Weber country manager UK and Ireland, recalls: “When our founder, George Stephen, invented the first Weber kettle in 1952, he was looking for a grill that would allow him to create great-tasting food for his family.\nThe original Kettle from 1952 (Weber/PA)\nBy adding a lid and vents he discovered he could control air flow, maintaining a constant cooking temperature for outstanding results.\n“This concept of lid-on cooking revolutionised charcoal barbecuing, and holds true today with all Weber grills, banishing the notion that barbecue food is burnt on the outside and raw in the middle.”\n1960s\nSame Kettle – different setting (Weber/PA)\nThe kettle barbecue remained the same essentially, although it was embellished with different colours, handles and frames to persuade the public that cooking al fresco was the way to go.\nMeanwhile, the Arkansas Louisiana Gas Company redesigned a charcoal grill to run on bottled propane in an effort to get customers to buy more natural gas. It was more expensive, but new customers found it easier to use.\n1970s and 80s\nBrick-built barbecues were all the rage in the 70s (Thinkstock/PA)\nAs DIY stores came into their own, brick-built barbecues became the griddles of choice in the 70s. You could make them to measure, as long as the griddle would fit across, and they would last for years. The only disadvantage was they weren’t portable.\nWhile purists continued to use charcoal to cook their food, gas barbecues were ‘exploding’ on to the market and slowly but surely rectangular replaced round and lava rocks were inserted into gas grills – but the rocks were porous, absorbing fat and would eventually flare up.\nGenesis gas barbecue from 1985 (Weber/PA)\nIn the mid-80s Weber introduce ‘Flavorizer’ bars into its new Genesis gas barbecue – angled pieces of metal above the burners. The juices and fats dripping on to these bars vaporised, creating a smoky barbecue flavour, and with the lid down the smokiness was infused into the food.\nAnd now\nNew state-of-the-art barbecue heaters (Chesneys/PA)\nThings have come full circle with open-air dining, as barbecues merge with outdoor heaters to become one.\nOn point are firepits, huge authentic Indian firebowls made from recycled steel with accompanying barbecue racks, and snazzy outdoor heaters which double up as a barbecue but funnel the smoke out so you don’t end up smelling like a bonfire. All come at a price.\nIndian fire bowls appeared at this year’s RHS Chelsea Flower Show (Hannah Stephenson/PA)\nThe technological advances have also been immense, enabling chefs to cook everything from a full English breakfast, to a roast chicken, with thermometers which allow you to monitor the progress of your food from an app.\nKettle barbecue from 1965 (Weber/PA)\nBut for some, the kettle barbecue will forever remain a favourite.\n© Press Association 2018']' but not with '['represent this text to find a news title for it', "Mono-lunching makes sense — when you have the same meal every day it frees up your mind for other decisions.

Question: Raiders keep same draft approach under new coach Gruden

Represent this text to find a news title for it

ALAMEDA, Calif. — The approach Oakland Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie takes into the NFL draft is no different with Jon Gruden as coach than it was in previous years with Jack Del Rio and Dennis Allen at the helm.
"The board will still be doing the talking," McKenzie said. "It really will."
Trusting the board paid off handsomely back in 2014 when Oakland ended up with 2016 Defensive Player of the Year Khalil Mack and starting quarterback Derek Carr with its top two picks.
It hasn't worked out as well the past two years when the Raiders haven't added any impact players, with last year's top two picks, cornerback Gareon Conley and safety Obi Melifonwu, barely even getting on the field as rookies because of injuries.
"We're not going to beat up on some of these guys who physically were not able to get out there and play," McKenzie said.
"Hopefully some of these guys from the past drafts, we can get them out there, keep them healthy and see what they can do. Hopefully this is the year. Even the guys we draft this year, we have no idea if they can make it through OTAs or training camp and preseason healthy. You just hope and pray they can be there for us and see what they can do during the season."
After dropping from 12 wins in 2016 to just six a year ago, the Raiders fired coach Jack Del Rio and are looking to rebound under Gruden. The team has made many additions so far this off-season mostly to add depth and role players.
The hope is Oakland can add a potential impact starter with the 10th overall pick and fill other key spots with players who fit Gruden's system with its 10 other selections .
"It's all about coming together and feeling each other out and getting all the information from the coaches," McKenzie said. "Getting the information from the scouts. Then we set the board. Guys, it's not rocket science. It really isn't. It's just trying to get a feel for a new system. New coaches, what they like and what they don't like. That's the process."
Here are some other things to look for in the draft:

Posted by Darin Gantt on January 2, 2017, 10:52 AM EST
The 49ers want to recreate their “championship culture,” but they’re apparently trying to do so on a budget as well.
Whether or not it’s connected to the buyouts they’re paying Jim Tomsula and Chip Kelly, the list of candidates emerging so far certainly leans toward the young and less expensive.
Via Matt Maiocco of CSNBayArea.com, the list of candidates includes Seattle offensive line coach and former Raiders head coach Tom Cable, Bills interim coach Anthony Lynn, Jaguars interim coach Doug Marrone and Dolphins defensive coordinator Vance Joseph, along with Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels.
McDaniels is likely near the top of their wish list, and he also has a tie to General Manager candidate Nick Caserio.
Other names identified as possibilities for the G.M. job include Chiefs director of player personnel Chris Ballard, ESPN analyst Louis Riddick, Vikings assistant general manager George Paton, and Seahawks co-player personnel directors Trent Kirchner and Scott Fitterer.

Question: Highs and heists: Where is cryptocurrency heading?

TOKYO: A hacking theft that netted $530 million, a ban on Facebook advertising, regulation even in Russia, and more wild price swings: despite another stomach-churning week for cryptocurrencies, analysts say they are here to stay.
While headline-grabbing hacks like that suffered by Japan’s Coincheck are likely to attract the attention of regulators, experts say the "Teflon" crypto boom is now part of the economic landscape.
Cryptocurrencies have "been down numerous times, but always able to get off the canvas," Stephen Innes — the head of Asia-Pacific trading at OANDA — told AFP.
Virtual currencies have certainly taken some hefty blows recently.
In the dead of night, hackers stole $530 million in Japanese virtual currency from Coincheck, sending prices plunging and underlining the vulnerability, and volatility, of cryptocurrencies.
The January 26 hack appears to be the largest cryptocurrency theft ever, exceeding even the $480 million stolen in 2014 from another Japanese virtual currency exchange, MtGox.
In the wake of the MtGox theft, Japan’s government introduced regulations requiring exchanges to obtain a government-issued licence.
And the news from Coincheck again piqued regulators’ interest, with Finance Minister Taro Aso admitting this week that the government "needs to strengthen our supervision".
Coincheck "did not store the important things separately. I think they lacked fundamental knowledge or common sense", he said.
Regulators have already clamped down in South Korea and China and even in Russia, where a draft law was drawn up last week aimed at controlling the production and creation of virtual money.
On Thursday, India’s Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said the government did not consider cryptocurrencies legal tender and would "take all measures to eliminate" their use as part of a payment system and in funding illegitimate activities.
Innes said such regulatory oversight was long overdue, as the current framework was "far too lax given investors’ vulnerabilities from both market volatility and cybercriminals".
"In general, the regulatory framework in Asia was terrible, which offered criminals mouth-watering targets," he added.
‘Systemically important’
Crypto regulation was also on the minds of the global elite at this year’s World Economic Forum, with British finance minister Philip Hammond urging governments to be "cautious".
"Possibly, we do need to look at the way we regulate this environment before the amount of outstanding bitcoin becomes large enough to be systemically important in the global economy," he told Bloomberg TV.
Tech giant Facebook then got in on the act, banning all ads related to cryptocurrencies in an effort to fight scams.
All this has taken its toll on the value of bitcoin — the best-known virtual currency — which soared to nearly $20,000 before dropping back to less than half that value with wild daily swings.
But despite the negative publicity and the growing attention of regulators, enthusiasm for cryptocurrencies does not appear to be waning.
BitFlyer — Japan’s main bitcoin exchange — told AFP it had actually seen increased interest after the Coincheck hack was revealed.
"Many people got interested in cryptocurrencies. On our platform, the number of new account applications increased," bitFlyer CFO Midori Kanemitsu said.
And Innes said virtual currency had "a sort of Teflon persona".
He said he expected to see dips down to around $6,000 "before the market irons out."
"Given recent trading patterns, I suspect $10,000-$15,000 will be the sweet spot, and as more traditional market makers enter the fray... volatility will decrease."
‘More selective’
Industry professionals say there is no stopping the technology behind virtual currencies and while some cryptocurrencies may disappear, others will likely pop up in their place.
"All kinds of new ideas are emerging," said lawyer Ken Kawai, an expert in financial regulation and the blockchain technology behind cryptocurrencies.
"Hacks occur. People who choose to use this technology must be aware of the danger associated with it," he told AFP. "I expect to see users becoming more selective when choosing exchanges."
To ensure client safety and improved use of the technology, virtual currency exchanges should face strict regulations like banks and brokerages, he suggested.
Banks and e-commerce firms could use the most stable cryptocurrencies among themselves, while others could be traded as alternative assets, Kawai said.
With investor interest apparently insatiable, regulators are likely to introduce a range of tighter checks, including requiring exchanges to verify the identity of their clients.
They could also impose outside cyber audits to protect against the kind of security loopholes that appear to have led to the Coincheck theft.
Cryptocurrency trading is also likely to come under the scrutiny of tax authorities, potentially cooling investor appetite if particularly steep new tariffs are rolled out, analysts say.
Kanemitsu said bitFlyer would welcome "good and reasonable regulation" as "an opportunity."
Hikaru Kusaka — the co-founder of blockhive, an innovation incubator — said consumers will eventually weed out the weak virtual currencies and only the best will survive.
"To put it dramatically, maybe not all the cryptocurrencies will disappear, but new ones will emerge, and there will be a process of picking and choosing," said Kusaka.

Bitcoin prices fell below $8,000 (£5,650.48) today, for the first since November, sparking a market-wide panic about the future of the token. BTC prices have been on a gradual decline since the start of the year, plummeting more than 40 percent, leading some investors to believe reality has finally caught up with the bitcoin bubble. At 5.32pm GMT, bitcoin was exchanging hands at $8,718.66 (£6,158.95) per token, 3.69 percent down on the past 24 hours, according to CoinDesk. Many senior analyst who have studied bitcoin’s rise through 2017, have now argued that the timer is now set on bitcoin.
American economist Nouriel Roubini, who saw the tell-tale signs of the imminent 2008 market crash, joined the choral of experts predicting bitcoin’s demise. The expert, dubbed ‘Dr Doom’ by his peers, warned BTC’s sharp decline is in fact the beginning of a crash. He said: “I say it’s the mother of all bubbles and it’s also the biggest bubble in human history if you compare it to the Mississippi Bubble, the Tech Bubble or Tulip Mania.” Mr Roubini underlined the bitcoin bubble is in fact much worse than the infamous 17th century Tulip Mania. He said: “It’s much worse. If you look at the peak, bitcoin was in a magnitude higher than the Tulip Mania and now it’s crashed by 60 percent compared to the peak of mid-December.

“The fundamental value of bitcoin is zero.” Since December 18, bitcoin prices suffered a 60 percent plunge on their peak price of $19,511 (£13,779.84). But it is not just bitcoin that is suffering, and Mr Roubini argued that there are many more crypto tokens that are in a much worse position that bitcoin. The economist said: “There are already something like 1,300 plus cryptocurrencies or Initial Coin Offerings (ICO’s).

“Most of them are worse and don’t have any intrinsic value like bitcoin, so if bitcoin is a bubble, then they are a bubble to the power of two or three. “And there is all this hype about blockchain saying, ‘ok maybe bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are a bubble or a fad, but blockchain is really a revolutionary industry’. “It has been round for 10 years and the only application is bitcoin or cryptocurrencies are a scam.” Other analysts have since joined to sound the alarm bells, feeding bitcoin’s detractors more ammunition.

The query could be '['Represent this title to get a news article that provides more details about it', 'Indian IT Outsourcers Anxious Over Potential Changes To H1-B Visas']' and should be close to '['represent the article to find a fitting news title.\n\n\nFor instance, <<SACRAMENTO, Calif. — After two months, Blake Griffin finally looks comfortable playing with Detroit, and it’s showing up across the board.\nHe’s even got the Pistons winning on the road again, something that hadn’t happened since the five-time All-Star arrived in late January after being traded from the Los Angeles Clippers.\nGriffin had 26 points, nine rebounds and seven assists, and Detroit pulled away in the third quarter to beat the Sacramento Kings 106-90 on Monday night.\n“I’m much more settled in now,” said Griffin, who has scored 20 or more points in 12 of his 21 games with the Pistons. “The team and the organization has been phenomenal in making me feel as at home as possible. It’s happening. It’s just a slow process for me.”\nIsh Smith had 18 points, Reggie Bullock added 17 and Anthony Tolliver scored 12 points behind three 3-pointers — one of three Pistons with a trio of 3s. Andre Drummond had just four points but pulled down 16 rebounds to help Detroit end its three-game losing streak.\nThe Pistons won on the road for only the 10th time this season and the first time since Jan. 10 — nearly three weeks before acquiring Griffin.\n“He’s just a really, really good player,” Detroit coach Stan Van Gundy said. “Whatever problems we have have not been because of him at all. His attitude has been great, his play has been great. When we get healthy and get the right people around him, it’s going to be a good team.”\nOn a night when the Kings’ Vince Carter had seven points to move past Patrick Ewing into 22nd place on the NBA’s career scoring list, Griffin led Detroit to the lopsided win with another in a string of big games this month.\nGriffin scored on a spinning layup, a 3-pointer and a drive from the top of the key to spark a 13-4 run in the third quarter. He later drove around a pair of defenders for a two-handed dunk then added two free throws to put Detroit up 70-61.\nIt’s the seventh time in the last 10 games that Griffin has scored 24 points or more.\n“I just tried to attack them on certain spots,” Griffin said. “I forced certain shots. Our offence was just pretty good.”\nBullock made a pair of 3s in the fourth quarter to extend the Pistons lead to 98-76.\nWillie Cauley-Stein scored 20 points for the Kings. De’Aaron Fox added 16 points and four assists while Justin Jackson had 15 points.\n“We were a step slow tonight,” Sacramento coach Dave Joerger said. “We talked about it this morning that it had a high probability of being a letdown game but it was a tough game for us. It’s that type of game we (have to) let roll off of us.”\nCarter, the 41-year-old former dunk champion, had a thunderous one-handed jam to spark a 9-2 run early in the second quarter then added a 12-foot fadeaway later to put the Kings up 35-33. Carter later made a 3-pointer in the third quarter to pass Ewing.\n“On one where we didn’t rotate properly,” Van Gundy said with a grin. “Vince can give us credit for that and Pat’s probably (ticked) at me right now.”\nTIP-INS\nPistons: Detroit won in Sacramento for the first time since Dec. 13, 2014. . Reggie Jackson continues to make steady progress and could resume playing this week after missing more than two months with a severely sprained right ankle.\nKings: Sacramento missed eight of its first nine shots but still shot 40 per cent in the first quarter. … Bogdan Bogdanovic (sore left hamstring) did not play for the first time since missing the first three games of the season because of a sore ankle.\nFRANCHISE LOW\nThe Kings made only four free throws, tying their franchise record for fewest in one game.\nQUOTABLE\n“Vince’s career has been amazing. He’s slowed down a little bit but he’s still playing at a pretty damn high level for a guy that’s been in the league this long. He’s not jumping over buildings now. He’s just playing the game on intelligence, toughness and everything else. One of my favourites.” – Van Gundy, who coached Carter for two seasons in Orlando.\nUP NEXT\nPistons: Play at Phoenix on Tuesday.\nKings: Host Atlanta on Thursday.\n——\nMore AP basketball: https://apnews.com/tag/NBAbasketball>>  to "Griffin\'s big third quarter helps Pistons top Kings 106-90"', 'With the Trump administration vowing to tighten rules for skilled workers entering the United States, India\'s software services companies are worried. Indian IT giants outsource tens of thousands of tech specialists to the United States each year, and limiting the visa program that brings them in could disrupt their multibillion-dollar industry.\nCongress and the White House have targeted what is arguably the most coveted of U.S. visas: the H1-B. It\'s "a kind of temporary work visa that allows professionals from other countries to work in the United States for a designated U.S. employer," explains Stephen Yale-Loehr, a Cornell University immigration law professor.\nYale-Loehr says that with the economy picking up, the program is in particularly big demand. Last year, U.S. companies that sought to bring highly skilled workers to the U.S. filed 236,000 petitions that went into a lottery for just 85,000 H1-B visas, the legal cap. The bulk of the winners: Indian computer specialists, many of them graduates of U.S. universities.\nYale-Loehr says that places like Europe and Australia have special visas to attract such talent, but that the United States doesn\'t.\n"We have to shoehorn high-tech workers into categories like the H1-B, and it\'s getting more difficult every year," he says.\nFor many H1-B holders, the temporary work visa — issued for a maximum of six years-- has been a stepping stone to obtaining a green card. That grants permanent residence in the U.S., and in turn provides a path to citizenship.\nBut newly introduced legislation in Congress and drafts of executive orders reportedly circulating in the Trump White House would tighten the H1-B program.\nIndian software services firms last year earned 60 percent of their $108 billion in export revenues from the U.S. Their executives will travel to Washington this month to lobby against measures that take aim at one of India\'s most successful industries.\nOne bill proposes more than doubling the minimum wage of H1-B holders, which by law is set at $60,000. Critics argue the H1-B has been misused to displace American workers, and that there has been an incentive to prefer Indian IT workers because they are cheaper.\nShailesh Chitnis, with the data mining and analysis company Compile, says that while the median salary for all H1-B holders is $71,000, most but not all Indian outsourcers pay below that. If they had to double salaries, Chitnis says, Indian IT companies would have to change their 20-year-old business model.\n"Because these organizations are not going to be bringing in people at $120,000 to fill those jobs — it would simply be too expensive," he says. "They\'ll have to look at some other alternatives."\nBut Shevendra Singh with India\'s National Association of Software Services Companies, or NASSCOM, refutes allegations that Indian companies are dislocating American workers or supplying low-paid labor. Singh says there is demand in the U.S. for Indian technical talent because of a severe shortage of qualified Americans with degrees in science, technology, engineering and math.\n"The crux of the issue is the STEM skill shortage in the U.S.," Singh says.\nIn its 2012 report, the U.S. president\'s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology found that "fewer than 40-percent of students who enter college intending to major in a STEM field complete a STEM degree." The council concluded that in the next decade, economic forecasts point to a need to produce "approximately 1 million more college graduates in STEM fields than expected under current assumptions."\nR. Chandrashekhar, president of NASSCOM, says that if the skills aren\'t available in the U.S. — and companies can\'t bring workers in — the jobs either won\'t get done or they will go out of the country and be done remotely.\n"Talent has become more important than investment or trade," he says. "And those who consciously cut themselves off from the global supply chains of talent are depriving themselves of a good thing."\nChandrashekhar notes that the intermingling of American and Indian ingenuity helped build Silicon Valley, and says protectionist impulses could weaken the United States, and what makes it unique.\n"America is No. 1," Chandrashekhar says. "What has really helped them to rise, absolutely, to the top, is that they have attracted talent from across the world. ... It would be really a pity if that was reversed without thinking it through."\nImmigration expert Yale-Loehr, co-author of a 21-volume treatise on immigration law, agrees that the United States faces a crisis in maintaining its innovative and competitive edge, and says it should be inviting more, not less, IT talent to its shores.\n"In a globalized economy, the best and the brightest want to work in the best places — and if they\'re unable work in the United States, or it takes too long or is too difficult, they\'ll find a place in Canada or Europe or India where their talents can be appreciated," he says.\nIf implemented, Yale-Loehr says the draft executive order would initiate a review of the H1-B program but likely have no direct, immediate impact.\nHowever, he says "it sends a strong signal that we no longer like foreign workers — we\'re all about only U.S. workers."\nThat, Yale-Loehr says, is eventually going to hurt the U.S.\nCopyright 2017 NPR.

Question: Winners to be announced in annual Michigan art competition

The winners of this year's international ArtPrize competition are being announced during an event in western Michigan that's known for openness — and increasingly, this year, politics.
In all, $500,000 in cash prizes will be awarded as part of ArtPrize Nine — including $200,000 for the public favorite and $200,000 for a winner picked by an expert jury. An awards event takes place Friday night in Grand Rapids before ArtPrize wraps up on Sunday. The first round of voting narrowed entries down to 20 chosen by the public and 20 by the jury. The second round of voting ran through this week. The work of more than 1,300 artists has been on display since last month at more than 170 venues.
Nine years in, the open, experimental mission remains firm for the show that draws hundreds of thousands of attendees annually. It comes directly from founder Rick DeVos, grandson of multibillionaire Rich DeVos, a co-founder of direct-sales giant Amway Corp., an ArtPrize sponsor, and son of U.S. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos. Her critics say she's hostile to public education and indifferent to civil rights, citing her push for school choice and her decision to end the Obama administration's rules for investigating allegations of on-campus sexual violence. School choice programs include charter schools, which are publicly funded but usually independently operated, and vouchers that help families cover tuition at private schools.
A spokeswoman said Rick DeVos wasn't available to comment. He told The Associated Press in 2011 that organizers "want to make sure everyone knows that ArtPrize can host really any type of expression."
The show has works critical of Betsy DeVos and the Trump administration, including "For-profit Education" by Sarah Ellis, a Grand Rapids high school teacher. She says in an artist's statement that her video and installation-based piece reflects her concern over policies that harm "free and quality education for all." Her video shows a hammer striking plaster casts of the ancient Greek philosopher Plato, who is quoted in the work saying, "Education is teaching our children to desire the right things."
Detroit artist Eric Millikin's "Made of Money" consists of dollar bills cut up and fashioned into portraits of "great people," such as Nikola Tesla, Hedy Lamarr, Joe Louis and Edgar Allan Poe, who "died penniless." Millikin said his work is designed to remind "that our best people aren't always rewarded with wealth, and that our wealthiest people aren't always our best."
Millikin said he has long known about the DeVos family through their wealth and political connections. He recalls in particular Betsy DeVos' husband, Dick DeVos, a former Amway president who unsuccessfully ran for Michigan governor in 2006. The DeVos family's support of ArtPrize kept Millikin away for the first eight years, but he saw the election of Trump and Betsy DeVos' cabinet appointment as a way "to make a statement."
"That made it a better place (to exhibit) because I'm addressing a national figure," he told the AP. "It's equivalent to someone ... speaking up at the town hall."
ArtPrize Exhibitions Director Kevin Buist said political statements — including those against the DeVos family — have been part of the competition since the beginning. In 2009, Anna Campbell exhibited " The Seeding Trilogy," which featured drink coasters with messages calling out efforts by members of the DeVos family to fight same-sex marriage.
Buist said an increase in political pieces — and an increasing spotlight on them — is no surprise, given the current climate.
"Some (artists) are angry and they have a right to be angry," he said. "They're using ArtPrize as a vehicle to express that and to work through really complicated and tricky issues.
"Of course, some of that is going to be directed toward the current administration, and some of our funders," he added. "That's fine. I'd be worried if that weren't happening."

Derryl Barr, a former North Platte teacher and eclipse chaser, will speak at the North Platte Public Library at noon on Thursday, Feb. 23 on Eclipses Present . ... More Artworks will be auctioned this year at the annual North Platte Public School Foundation banquet, and artists are invited to submit their work.
