Question: Zimbabwe: Bond Notes - the Chickens Are Coming Home to Roost

Last week's crashing of the bond note against the United States dollar led to market panic while at the same time evoking memories of the country's unprecedented economic meltdown and hyperinflation era which peaked in 2008.
Zimbabwe adopted a basket of multiple currencies in 2009 after the runaway inflation liquidated the local currency which has since been demonitised. An export collapse and yawning trade deficit resulted in shortages of the greenback forcing government to introduce US$200 million bond notes which were ostensibly backed on an African Export and Import Bank facility (Afreximbank).
The central bank also misled the market that upon expiry of the bond notes (when exports reach US$6 billion), those customers who would have deposited foreign currency would be entitled to demand their funds in foreign currency. In August, Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe governor John Mangudya, while presenting the Monetary Policy Statement, said the apex bank was now negotiating for another US$300 million facility with the Afreximbank. Critics say that this money supply growth which is not backed by production or export growth has wiped out the value of bond notes.
When he introduced the bond notes, Mangudya said the fiat currency would trade at par with the United States dollar, something critics questioned from the onset. The central bank chief kept the terms of the Afreximbank facility a closely guarded secret fueling market speculation that the notes were not backed by anything.
Now less than a year after the central bank introduced the bond notes, the currency has lost more than half of its value escalating speculation and fears among the populace which has not forgotten the food and fuel shortages of the hyperinflationary era.
The foreign currency shortages have resulted in massive arbitrage and rent-seeking behaviour as the US dollar now has multiple exchange rates in Zimbabwe. For instance, one has to transfer up to US$150 from the bank or $130 in bond notes to get US$100 from the thriving black market.
There is a rate for bond notes and Real-Time Gross Settlement electronic funds to the US dollar.
These disparities have led to a new wave of price increases or rather differential pricing system where retailers add a premium depending on the medium of exchange used.
Following social media reports that government had injected more bond notes into the market, panic hit the market resulting in impulse buying to preserve the value of money locked in banks.
Home Affairs minister Ignatius Chombo threatened to take action following the price hikes and panic buying spree with Mangudya at pains to re-assure the market that the situation is normal.
Analysts, however, say that this could be déjà vu. Barely 10 years ago, government introduced the National Incomes and Price Commission to monitor price increases when it became apparent that Zimbabwe's inflation had reached unprecedented levels.
Many retailers were arrested and arraigned before the courts for "economic sabotage". This did not have the desired effect as the economic crisis worsened while the black market thrived.
Upon his return from the United Nations General Assembly meetings held in New York, President Robert Mugabe played to the gallery threatening to crack the whip on retailers and foreign currency dealers who he blamed for the deteriorating economic situation.
However, analysts say these threats could only unsettle the markets, spook investors and at worst cause to severe shortages of basic commodities. Instead of threats, the government should be introducing a raft of reforms which attract capital.
The crashing of the bond note comes at a time the economy is ailing as it is characterised by a debilitating liquidity crunch, an acute cash shortage, dwindling investment inflows, company closures and massive job losses.
The outlook points to and even bleaker future.
MDC-T legislator and member of the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Budget and Finance, Eddie Cross, warned that the economic crisis could escalate before the end of the year.
"It is going to accelerate and get much worse by Christmas. It is completely unrealistic to think that things are going to change because government has no control over this situation. We have an old man in power who is not willing to step down," Cross said.
Buy Zimbabwe executive and economic analyst Oswell Binha said the introduction of the "surrogate currency", which has triggered the steep rise in prices of basic commodities and the attendant scarcity of fuel currently obtaining was "chasing away hard currency".
He said government's overspending on unbudgeted priorities had escalated the decline in value of the proxy currency.
"Once you introduce a surrogate currency it will always chase away the real money with real value, the bond note is not universally accepted as a store of value. Rogue money chases away real money," Binha said. "I think we expected a gradual decline of the bond currency but we are witnessing a sudden decline of the same because government has been financing parallel activities."
Binha noted that while the central bank was in denial mode of what was currently obtaining in the economy, the markets were telling a different story.
"Prices are going up, the governor of the central bank can say what he wants, and markets do not lie, they react to sharp political pronouncements," Binha added. "There is need to go back to addressing the basics, maintaining fiscal discipline is an important measure to induce confidence."
Economic analysts say protectionist measures alone such as Statutory Instrument 64 of 2016 will not stimulate production in the capital-starved economy. Zimbabwe, they said, requires policy that attracts foreign capital arguing that bond notes had unnerved the markets.
According to the latest World Bank economic update on Zimbabwe released in June, the economy faces complex fiscal and macroeconomic challenges, a conclusion that waters down government's ambitious economic growth rates. The bank warned that administrative measures such as the introduction of bond notes would be circumvented by the parallel market.
The International Monetary Fund warned against introduction of bond notes from the beginning.

Question: Suns’ Marquese Chriss to miss Sunday’s game after “verbal altercation” with coach

Represent the article to find a fitting news title:

It is potentially the most significant trading chip on the block as we head into the trade deadline Feb. 8 (next Thursday):
The Brooklyn Nets first-round pick controlled by the Cleveland Cavaliers (which they got from Boston in the Kyrie Irving trade last summer). As of right now it would be the No. 8 pick heading into the draft lottery.
Talk to teams around the league and they say the pick is not in play, that the Cavaliers are holding on to it as “LeBron James insurance” should he leave. Terry Pluto of the Cleveland Plain Dealer says that’s not true, it is in play — but not for anybody currently on the trade block.
1. I keep hearing the Cavs absolutely won’t trade the Brooklyn draft pick. That’s not true. I’ve heard from top league sources the Cavs will do it — but not for a short-term answer such as DeAndre Jordan. That’s because Jordan can become a free agent at the end of the season. 2. The Cavs would trade the pick for a younger player who is under team control for a few years. But they are willing to deal their own first-round pick in 2018 for the right short-term fix.
This is a silly debate and distinction over semantics (and if you read headlines that the pick is in play that’s click bait). Would the Cavs put the pick in a deal for Anthony Davis or Karl-Anthony Towns, sure, but neither of them are or will be available (neither will any other young stars, the most valuable commodity in the NBA), so the argument they would put it in play for a young superstar is moot. On a practical level, the pick is not available, not for anyone that is available to be traded right now.
The Cavaliers are willing to trade J.R. Smith in the right deal, according to Pluto. It’s widely known the Cavaliers would throw in their own first-round pick in 2018 (mid-20s).
The biggest names potentially available are Jordan from the Clippers and Kemba Walker from the Hornets, and the Cavaliers wisely would not throw the pick in for either of them. Jordan is a free agent this summer, and while Walker would be a big boost to them this season and is under contract for a couple of seasons, he’s 27 and would not be part of the long-term future in Cleveland post-LeBron. The Cavs would only move that pick for someone who could be the next face of the franchise whenever it is LeBron leaves Cleveland again.
The Cavs most likely will move their own first-round pick next draft and a player or two for a minor upgrade to the current roster. Maybe that will eventually be enough to get a Jordan from the Clippers, a player who could help them get out of the East this season. But there are no long-term answers out there, and none that vault the Cavaliers up to the Warriors’ or even Rockets’ level.

Question: Chelsea out to hijack Tottenham move for Davinson Sanchez

Represent this text to find a news title for it

Chelsea and Real Madrid are reportedly trying to beat Tottenham to the signing of Ajax defender Davinson Sanchez, who is said to be valued at £40m by the Dutch giants.
The 21-year-old was dropped at the weekend after informing the coaching staff that he wasn’t in the right frame of mind to feature, but Ajax remain keen to keep him and sign him to a new long-term contract.
However, as per The Daily Mail, Tottenham are expected to hold talks with the Eredivisie outfit on Monday, initially proposing £28m which is way short of the club’s reported £40m valuation of the talented young defender.
Chelsea and Real Madrid are specifically mentioned in the report as trying to hijack the Tottenham move and are lining up counter bids which could surpass what Spurs are willing to put on the table.
While it remains unclear at this stage as to which club holds the upper hand in the race to sign Sanchez, his position on the matter is seemingly much more certain in that he wants to leave and get the chance to play in the Premier League and Champions League.
That will be a painful blow for Ajax who continue to churn out quality talent, but despite their best efforts to keep the Colombian ace, it looks as though they’re fighting a losing battle.
Tottenham have yet to sign any player in this transfer window, and so with just over two weeks to go until the deadline, they’ll be desperate to avoid seeing one of their main targets move to a direct rival in Chelsea.

Question: Bangkok to ban street food stalls in clean-up crusade

Street food stalls will be banned from all of Bangkok's main roads under a clean-up crusade, a city hall official said on Tuesday, prompting outcry and anguish in a food-obsessed capital famed for its spicy roadside cuisine.
[BANGKOK] Street food stalls will be banned from all of Bangkok's main roads under a clean-up crusade, a city hall official said on Tuesday, prompting outcry and anguish in a food-obsessed capital famed for its spicy roadside cuisine.
For months city officials have hemmed in hawkers of all kinds across the metropolis, where hitting the pavement for everything from late-night noodles to fried insects is the closest Thailand has to a national pastime.
"All types of stalls including clothes, counterfeit goods and food stalls will be banned from main city roads," Wanlop Suwandee, a chief advisor to Bangkok's governor, told AFP.
"They will not be allowed for order and hygiene reasons," he added.
sentifi.com Market voices on:
Officials insist the city's street vendors clog the foot paths, leaving little space for pedestrians and littering the streets.
But many Bangkokians say this chaos is part of the capital's charm and an affordable option for all with a stick of grilled pork going for 10 baht (S$0.40) while a bowl of chicken noodles costing as little as 35 baht.
"If you want to clean out all the vendors it's like you are cleaning out our culture itself," said Chiwan Suwannapak, who works for a Bangkok tour agency.
Street dining is also a social leveller in a city cut by inequality, with everyone from business execs to motorcycle taxi drivers pulling up plastic chairs to slurp down spicy soups or dig into fried chicken at the roadside restaurants as cars whiz by.
The rich variety of foods ladled out from push carts are also a top draw for tourists, who power the kingdom's economy.
"If they go against the vendors, that will that affect business and it will affect the charm of Khaosan," said Sanga Ruangwattanaku, the president of a business association on Khaosan Road - a buzzing backpacker hotspot in Bangkok's old town.
Since seizing power in 2014 Thailand's junta has embarked on a sweeping morality and orderliness campaign.
Critics say an attempt is underway to remodel Bangkok into a Singapore-lite, enforcing regulations that have long been abandoned or skirted around by a rampant culture of bribery and a laid back public used to picking its way through the city's messy pavements.

Question: Cycling and walking are short-changed when it comes to transport funding in Australia

To understand why Australian cities are far from being meccas for walking and cycling, follow the money. Our research has collated data for all the states and territories and our three biggest cities. We found that cycling and walking receive a tiny fraction of overall transport infrastructure funding. To improve cycling and walking infrastructure in our cities, funding will have to increase significantly.
The United Nations has recommended that governments dedicate 20% of transport funding to non-motorised or active transport. To see how Australia compares against this target, we looked at budgets for three capital cities and all the states and territories. Commonwealth funding was not included because the federal government only funds active travel as part of larger infrastructure projects.
Read more: Australian cities are far from being meccas for walking and cycling
Hidden data
Compared to the widely available expenditures for roads and public transport, it’s hard to pin down spending for cycling and walking. The data are spread across a myriad of documents, and entities report them differently. For example, walking infrastructure figures might be reported separately or bundled with cycling or road projects.
Unclear reporting, in itself, indicates active travel’s low status in the transport funding hierarchy.
To gather the expenditures reported here, we had to draw on a variety of sources. Our data are not perfect or perfectly comparable across time and place, but do indicate relative spending levels.
Municipal spending
This research considers Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne. For a number of years, the Bicycle Network produced the Bicycle Expenditure Index (BiXE), which examined local government spending for bicycle infrastructure. Unfortunately, 2012 was the last year that BiXE was produced. Our analysis is based on the annual budgets for the three cities instead of BiXE.
Brisbane and Sydney have been allocating a very small portion of their transport budgets (6-9%) to cycling and walking. Brisbane has the lowest active travel rates of the three cities. Despite this, its budget for walking and cycling has slightly decreased in the current cycle.
By contrast, major change is under way in Sydney. In the 2019-2020 cycle, the council has set aside nearly a quarter of its transport budget to active transport.
Author provided
As for Melbourne, the city is devoting more than half of its transport budget to footpaths and cycleway projects in the current budget period. But here too the allocated budget is projected to decrease in coming years to about 28% in 2020-2021.
Most of the Melbourne City funding appears to have been dedicated to footpaths rather than cycleways. This approach will not help increase cycling rates in the inner city, which have stagnated at about 5% in recent years.

State and territory spending
The 2015-2016 state and territory budgets are disappointing in that they continue the trend of underfunding active transport infrastructure. The difference between active transport and road funding is staggering: most states devote less than 2% of funding to cycling.
All Australian states and territories are far below the United Nations target of 20%. The Australian Capital Territory (ACT), at 14%, is the only place that has made a real effort to meet the UN target.
Also, per capita dollar amounts devoted to active transport are low everywhere (under A$20 a year). As a benchmark, Copenhagen – regarded as the world’s best city for cycling – has spent A$30 per capita a year for the past decade.
In Australia, the ACT is an exception at A$79 per capita in 2016. In fact, the ACT has some of the highest cycling rates at metropolitan level (though this is only about 3%). Also, the Northern Territory had more than doubled its spending by 2016, rising to A$36 per capita from only A$15 in 2011.
The amounts spent “per helmet” are much larger. But, in most cases, this is only because cyclists make up a small fraction of the population.
Another way to look at road and cycling funding is “cents on the dollar” – that is, how many cents go to cycling for each dollar spent on roads. The typical amount is less than two cents – although Victoria has almost reached three cents in some years. The ACT’s spending is not shown on the graph because it is high and would distort the scale for the other states and territories.
Read more: Sidelining citizens when deciding on transport projects is asking for trouble
The future of cycling in Australian cities
Australian cities are ideal for cycling and walking for most of the year. But cyclists and pedestrians are being short-changed while infrastructure spending continues to favour cars.
This situation reflects the blinkered vision that Australia cannot and need not be a world leader in active travel. Our cities, which have some of the widest roads in the world, are supposedly too difficult to retrofit for walking and cycling. Many older cities overseas have redesigned much narrower streets for active transport.
In Australia any such retrofit requires long public consultation processes. Australians must accept incremental increases in active transport funding while road funding continues to dominate transport budgets.
Not only is this vision shortsighted, it is sexist, ageist and classist. Cars cost their owners more than A$300 per week on average. This limits travel options for youth, low-income people and women. These groups are already vulnerable to transport disadvantage, and failing to fund cycling and walking projects can make their situation worse.
Mediocre active travel infrastructure is unacceptable in a wealthy OECD country. We need and can have world class active travel infrastructure. This type of investment makes economic, health and environmental sense.

GETTY One in five local roads are in poor condition according to a new report
This represents more than 40,000 miles of carriageways. Spending on roads maintenance is “way short” of the amount needed, the annual study by the Asphalt Industry Alliance (AIA) stated. The report found the gap between the amount local authorities in England and Wales received to keep carriageways in “reasonable order” and what they actually needed was £556 million in 2017/18. AIA chairman Rick Green warned that the deterioration of local roads “continues to accelerate” because maintenance funding has “fallen short for so many years”.
He accepted that the Government does not have a “bottomless pot of money” but called on it to “provide adequate funding for a well maintained and safe local road network”. Martin Tett, the Local Government Association's transport spokesman, said the amount of money spent on local roads is “miles behind” what is allocated to motorways and major A-roads. He added: “Very few journeys begin and end on a motorway or trunk road yet government funding on the strategic road network is 52 times higher than for local roads”. Motoring groups claimed the AIA report shows a new approach is needed to combat potholes.

Question: Golan Druze march for Syrian independence day

this news article should be represented to find a fitting news title:

Hundreds of Druze in the Golan Heights marched Monday for Syrian independence day, carrying portraits of President Bashar Assad and chanting anti-Israel slogans.
“God save Syria!” they shouted as they rallied in the town of Masada. “Down with the occupation!”
Israeli officials say there are about 20,000 Druze on the strategic plateau, which the Jewish state captured from neighboring Syria in the 1967 Six Day War.
Israel extended its sovereignty over the 1,200 square kilometers (460 square miles) of territory in 1981, although the move was never recognized by the international community.
The vast majority of Golan Druze have retained Syrian nationality.
The civil war which has ravaged Syria for the past six years is reflected in local divisions, with Masada opponents of the Assad regime refusing to march behind his picture.
But both sides are united in their opposition to Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights, residents told AFP.
“We retain our Syrian identity and follow the path of national resistance,” said Nasser Ibrahim, one of the organizers of Monday’s march.
“With the crisis in Syria, Israel has increased its measures on the Golan,” said Assad opponent Ayman Abu Jabal, referring to what he called Israeli-ordered changes to the Golan school curriculum.
The Druze, who are spread out between Israel, Syria and Lebanon, have a reputation of being fiercely loyal to the country in which they reside.
Israel and Syria are still officially in a state of war, but Israel says it has no wish to get involved in the fighting.
It does, however, periodically carry out strikes against arms convoys heading to its Lebanese foe Hezbollah, which fights for Assad in Syria.
Last month, Israel struck what it said were Hezbollah targets in Syria, drawing Syrian anti-aircraft missile fire in the worst flare-up between the two governments since the Syrian civil war began in 2011.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has fired a warning at the United States and said it was a 'partner to bloodshed' after Donald Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel sparked violence.
Erdogan bitterly opposes Trump's decision and has sought to mobilise the Muslim world against it, calling a summit of Islamic countries on December 13 in Istanbul.
The Turkish president, who regards himself as a champion of the Palestinian cause, said the 'struggle' of Muslims would not end until there was an independent Palestinian state.
'They will never be able to clean the blood,' he said in a speech in Ankara.

'With this recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, it (the United States) has become a partner to this bloodshed. We do not recognise this decision, we will not,' he added.
Turkey had high hopes for relations under the Trump presidency, but ties have frayed with rows over the Syria conflict, a New York legal case and now Jerusalem.
Erdogan said that the current 'vandalism and cruelty' in Jerusalem would not last. 'Those who think they own Jerusalem today will not find trees to hide behind,' he said.
Trump's move has ignited protests across the Islamic world and deadly violence in the Palestinian territories.
He said Wednesday's summit of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in Istanbul would be a 'turning point' on the issue.
And on Monday Hezbollah said it will refocus its efforts on fighting the Palestinian cause in the wake of Trump's decision.

Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah in Lebanon, called on the group and its allies in the region to present a 'united front' against Israel.
His announcement came as thousands of the group's supporters took to the streets of Beirut chanting 'Death to America!' and 'Death to Israel!' while carrying banners that read 'Jerusalem, Eternal Capital of Palestine' and 'Jerusalem is Ours'.
Nasrallah had called for the demonstration last week.
The marches, along with fresh violence in the West Bank and Gaza, came after Benjamin Netanyahu gave a speech to EU diplomats in Brussels saying Trump's declaration had 'made peace possible.'

Erdogan and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had traded verbal blows at the weekend, with the Turkish leader describing Israel as a 'terrorist state' that kills children.
Hours later Netanyahu hit back, calling his counterpart a leader who bombs Kurdish villagers and supports terrorists, during an official visit to Paris.
However Erdogan did not refer to Netanyahu in his latest speech.
Last year, Turkey and Israel ended a rift triggered by Israel's storming in 2010 of a Gaza-bound ship that left 10 Turkish activists dead and led to a downgrading of diplomatic ties.
The two sides have since stepped up cooperation, particularly in energy, but Erdogan has repeatedly been bitterly critical of Israeli policy.

Ian Stevenson, Chief Executive (pictured) and Gerard McGivern, Chairman, of the Livestock and Meat Commission for Northern Ireland (LMC) will travel to Dallas, Texas this week to attend the World Meat Congress.
This major global event brings together approximately 1,000 meat and livestock professionals from across the globe and is hosted every two years by the International Meat Secretariat (IMS).
Over the course of the congress, which is running from May 30 until June 1, those in attendance will hear from a number of keynote speakers including Lawrence MacAulay, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, Canada, Sonny Perdue, US Secretary of Agriculture plus an array of international experts and industry leaders.
The congress will explore a number of important global themes including the global trading system, factors affecting the red meat trade, societal norms and implications for the industry and key industry issues, along with a scientific look at cutting-edge technologies which are transforming meat production worldwide.
“As members of the IMS, we are looking forward to attending the congress, exchanging knowledge and ideas with meat industry professionals from around the world and building relationships with like-minded organisations who are passionate about a successful and sustainable future for the meat industry,” Ian said.
“The World Meat Congress is an excellent opportunity to evaluate how our industry is operating at present, to consider what potential challenges the meat industry may face in the future and to put forward ideas on how we might deal with these issues on a global scale.
“With so much change already occurring and set to occur in our industry, it’s vitally important to be able to hear from the experts and to learn from them so that we’ll be better equipped to help support our red meat industry going forward.”

Alchemy is the ancient art of turning base metals into gold.
London-based Alchemy Junk has a similar but more modest goal of turning household junk into reused and recycled items.
“We take a sustainable approach to junk removal by minimizing waste going to landfill,” said Justin Bardawill. a Western University graduate and environmentalist who launched the business in 2009.
The company sorts through the material collected from homes and reuses and recycles whenever possible. Only about 40 per cent of the junk ends up in landfill.
The most useful items — furniture, appliances, electronic items and bicycles — are sold, usually wholesale.
Some items are donated to agencies such as Goodwill and Habitat for Humanity, and other material goes to the blue box program and Try Recycling.
Bardawill said his customers have the satisfaction of knowing their old stuff is going to have less of an impact on the environment.
Bardawill has other interests. He’s also a techno DJ, provides logistic support for ReForest London and restores Victorian-era homes.
But Alchemy Junk is his major business interest.
“I wanted to run a small business and be a radical environmentalist at the same time,” said Bardawill
Consultant launches training
London-based tech consulting firm Invorg has launched the Institute for Business Technology and Innovation (IBTI) to provide training and internships in business technology and innovation with the aim of developing a skilled talent pool in Southwestern Ontario.
The training and internship programs are targeted to individuals and organizations seeking to build skills that transform businesses.
Course offerings include business analyst training, software customization and IT security.
A key aspect of the training is internship. Almost every program includes a period of hands-on learning in a real business setting.
Invorg was founded in 2014 by Joseph Edward, an immigrant from Sri Lanka who worked as a technology director for the City of London and the Roman Catholic Diocese of London.

UberEats is hitting the streets of London.
The food-delivery service, modelled after the popular ride-sharing app also created by Uber, launched earlier this month, offering to bring dishes from more than 60 restaurants straight to diners’ doorsteps.
London restaurants such as Hopscotch, Qdoba Mexican Grill and Villa Cornelia are participating in UberEats’ local rollout. The mobile app is available for Apple or Android smartphones.
The food-order app lets users pick a delivery location, place their order and track the food all the way to their doors.

Question: Poet Imagines Life Inside A 1910 Institution That Eugenics Built

Growing up in southwestern Virginia in recent decades, poet Molly McCully Brown often passed by a state institution in Amherst County that was once known as the "Virginia State Colony for Epileptics and Feebleminded."
Since 1983 the facility, which was founded in 1910, has been called the Central Virginia Training Center, and it is now a residential home for people with various intellectual disabilities. But in the early 20th century, the place Brown now refers to as "the colony" was part of the eugenics movement taking hold in the U.S., and a variety of treatments now considered inhumane were practiced there — including forced sterilization. Brown, who has cerebral palsy, notes that had she been born in an earlier era, she might have been sent to live at the institution herself.
"It is impossible to know that for sure," she says. "I can look at my life and look at my family and look at my parents and think, No, never. That never would have happened. But I also understand that if I had been born 50 years earlier, the climate was very different."
She hopes to give voice to those early generations of residents, in her book of poetry, The Virginia State Colony For Epileptics And Feebleminded.
For Brown, the themes of disability and poetry have been constant throughout her life: "In my life, there has always been my body in some state of falling apart or disrepair or attempting to be fixed, and there has always been poetry. And I couldn't untwine those things if I tried."
Interview Highlights
On seeing the buildings and grounds of the old facility
It was incredibly moving and incredibly powerful. The place is interesting because it is still an operational facility for adults with really serious disabilities, although it is in the process of closing. But like a lot of things in Virginia, it was initially built on an enormous amount of land. And, so, a really interesting thing happened, which is that as the buildings that were originally part of the colony fell into disrepair, they were largely just moved out of — and new buildings were built on accompanying land, but those original buildings were not necessarily torn down. So the place itself is this really strange combination of functioning facility and ghost town of everything that it has been. I've never been in a place that felt more acutely haunted in my life.
On how some people assume her physical disability means she also has an intellectual disability
We do have a strange tendency in this country to equate any kind of disability with less intellectual capability and with even a less complete humanity. Certainly as a child and as a teenager — and even now as an adult — [I] encountered people who assumed that just because I used a wheelchair, maybe I couldn't even speak to them. I often get questions directed at people I'm with, as opposed to me, and that's a really interesting phenomenon.
On the connection between poetry and theology
Both poetry and theology for me are about paying attention to the world in a very intentional way, and about admitting a mystery that is bigger than anything that I rationally understand. ... I think poetry has always been for me a kind of prayer. So those things feel very linked for me. And, again, poetry does feel like the first — and in some ways best — language I ever had for mystery and for my sense of what exists beyond the world we're currently living in.
On how Catholicism has helped her accept her body
One of the things that I find so moving about Catholicism is that it never forgets that to be a person is inherently and inescapably and necessarily to be in a body — a body that brings you pain, a body that brings you pleasure, a body that can be a barrier to thinking more completely about your life and your soul — but [that it] can also be a vehicle to delivering you into better communion with the world, with other people and to whatever divinity it is that you believe in.
What Catholicism did for me, in part, is give me a framework in which to understand my body as not an accident or a punishment or a mistake, but as the body that I am meant to have and that is constitutive of so much of who I am and what I've done and what I hope I will do in the world.
More and more ... I've come to see my body as a place of pride and potential, and as something that gives me a unique outlook onto the world. And I'd rather that, I guess, than be infuriated by it.
On her twin sister, who died shortly after birth
She lived about 36 hours after we were born. ... It's a phenomenon in my life that I have not a lot of rational explanation for, ... but it is true that I miss my sister with a kind of intense specificity that has no rational explanation, and that I feel aware of her presence in this way that I can't exactly explain or articulate, but which feels undeniable to me. ...
I do think that that sort of gave me no other option than to believe in some kind of something beyond this current mortal life that we're living. Because what is the explanation otherwise for the fact that I feel like I miss and I know this person who only lived a matter of hours? And for the fact as much as I know that she is dead and is gone in a real way, she doesn't feel "disappeared" to me.
On how her physical disability and her poetry are intertwined
I think the easiest way I have of describing it is I have two [early] memories. ... One of them is of sitting on a table in a hospital room in the children's hospital in St. Louis, choosing the flavor of the anesthetic gas I was going to breathe when they put me under to do my first major surgery. I was picking between cherry and butterscotch and grape. And the second memory that I have is of my father reading a Robert Hayden poem called "Those Winter Sundays."

Question: Lawmakers consider more than doubling incentives for motion picture productions

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

COLUMBUS (WCMH) — Right now, motion picture productions for television and film enjoy a $40 million incentive program here in Ohio.
That money is split up and divvied up between small, medium, and large productions that want to come to the state to shoot their movie or television program; and while it sounds like a lot, $40 million go fast.
“We’ve run out of money consistently every year and we’ve had great projects coming here that really shine the light on ohio,” said Ivan Schwarz, the president of the Greater Cleveland Film Commission.
Cleveland has seen major blockbuster movies like Avengers come to town as a result of the incentive program.
Now Schwarz and other film commissions around the state want to see the program increased and expanded.
According to Schwarz for every $1 in incentives the state provides the productions pump $2 into the local economy.
This immediate return on investment is in contrast to some deals where major corporations will promise to hire a certain number of employees within the first 5-10 years.
Right now, there is a lot of demand to shoot in Ohio.
According to Schwarz, Hollywood is starting to realize there are a lot of interesting places to film in the state, and increasing the program from $40 million to $100 million will entice more productions to choose the Ohio location over one in another state.
Beyond increasing the pool of money available to attract these productions and the jobs they create when they come here, the bill opens it up to Broadway productions.
For decades Chicago has been a destination city for Broadway plays to open for long-term engagements.
Schwarz wants that to happen here in Ohio; that could mean productions like Hamilton could find a home in Columbus, or Cincinnati, or even Cleveland.
“Let’s say it comes to Columbus, or it comes to Cleveland, and it’s here for 9 months; think about the visitors that are going to come to this city that never would have come here before,” said Schwarz.
The bill is being sponsored by State Representative Kurt Schuring, a member of the Majority party’s leadership team, and the bill is likely to get a significant push as a result.
It is already scheduled for a tentative vote out of committee this week. House Bill 525 was introduced last week.

Question: B.C. guitarist aims to play for 116 hours, break Guinness record for charity

Represent this text to find a news title for it:

Local musician will aim to break Guinness record at River Rock Casino Resort, starting May 7
A Vancouver-area musician named Spirit is on a mission to set a record for longest continuous guitar playing.
He’ll attempt the 116-hour marathon session at Richmond’s River Rock Casino Resort early next month, in a bid to raise $10,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society.
If things go according to plan, Spirit will play guitar staring at 10 a.m. on Monday, May 7 and won’t stop picking until 11 p.m. Saturday, May 12. Guinness-mandated rules allow for a five-minute break every hour, and Spirit can bank that time.
“There’s no ‘if’ here, it’s happening,” Spirit says in a promo video posted to the casino’s Facebook page. “I’ve already completed it in my mind.”
CLICK HERE to watch the video.
According to Guinness, the record for longest marathon playing guitar by an individual is 114 hours, six minutes and 30 seconds, a feat achieved by Irish musician David Browne at a Dublin bar in 2011.
After seeing video of Browne in action, Spirit set out to break the record, with a charitable twist.
Both of his parents died from cancer-related illnesses, said the former Surrey resident, who now lives in Delta.
“After witnessing (that) and being part of that personally, it hit me, because it (cancer) could lie in my genes,” Spirit says in the casino’s promo video.
• READ MORE: Spirit, Surrey’s skilled acoustic live-looper, loses his ‘Cool’, from 2016.
For every day Spirit plays guitar during his marathon, Great Canadian Casinos will donate $1,000 to the cause.
The record attempt will include some challenges for Spirit, including washroom breaks and sleep deprivation.
“I’ll always think of myself as a fortunate person,” he writes on a “Spirit And The Challenge” page on the cancer society’s website. “Why? Because I have the opportunity to live my passion by performing music for a living and share this gift with others. As an ‘Acoustic Live Looping Artist,’ I am excited about performing and growing as an artist, but also feel I should give back to society and to my community on many levels as I become more successful. This event will definitely be on a new level for me!”
When performing, Spirit is a one-man band armed with a modified acoustic guitar, vocal mics and an array of foot pedals. His live-looping method involves music created on the spot.
“Everything you hear is live,” Spirit emphasized in a 2016 interview. “At first, people usually think, ‘OK, it’s a guy playing guitar,’ and sometimes they’ll hear other things and wonder if they’re pre-recorded. Well, no they’re not. I build the songs in front of them, and some people get that and others don’t realize what’s happening, that I’m adding layers. There’s a lot going on, and I think it’s pretty unique.”

How did you spend your spare time when you were in high school?
If you’re anything like London’s Ben Heffernan is these days, you were booking time in recording studios and playing opening sets at the London Music Hall.
That’s where you can find Heffernan Thursday when he opens for headliner VACAY, a project by Levi Randall, who’s set to release his new EP Howlin’ Wind. (It features the hit single Moving You which is now tracking more than one-million plays on Spotify).
But let’s take it back to that 16-year-old talent: Heffernan has released a three-song EP Different Wars in March, featuring Never Had Too Much To Say, Fall Apart and Where I Belong. That followed a 2016 that would be considered successful for any artist, especially one who’s still walking the halls of high school.
In 2016, this young singer-songwriter picked up a Jack Richardson Music Award in the youth category, beating out other high school bands and songwriters.
His prize? Along with the hardware and serious vote of confidence, Heffernan was given recording time at Charterhouse Studios.
And the attention didn’t end there: He soon scored a two-hour set at the Western Fair and started to play at more of city’s bigger music venues.
Thursday’s all-ages event starts at 7 p.m., and includes sets from Partners in Health and VACAY. Cover is $7.
--- --- ---
If you’re hoping to hear nothing but the classics, head over to the London Music Club Saturday night.
The Neil Young’uns are back in the city (by way of Toronto) to play your favourite Neil Young songs, taking you as far back as 1966 with Buffalo Springfield, travelling through the 1970s and ’80s with Helpless and Rockin’ in the Free World and on and on.
The band is led by Young look-alike Larry Cariou, who takes to vocals, rhythm guitar and harmonica.
He’s joined by four friends and fellow Young enthusiasts: Steve Whitehorse (lead guitar, bass and sax), Denis Gonzalez (bass, keyboards, banjo), Trudy Binder (keyboards, bass), and Geordie Millar.
Everyone in the band contributes backing vocals, because how can you help but sing along?
Tickets are $17.50 in advance or $20 at the door, which opens at 6 p.m. The music starts at 7 p.m.
--- --- ---
To celebrate Canada’s big 150, make your way to see the London Concert Band perform a special show called With Glowing Hearts: Canada 150 at Beal secondary school.
They’re bringing out the drums, horns, cymbals and more to celebrate in a big way.
As conductor Robert Kennedy explains it, we’re all planning on something special for July 1, “but LCB’s musicians are providing free entertainment to all Londoners to mark this august moment in our nation’s history.”
It’s sure to be a full house, and those in attendance will get to hear from Ojibway storyteller Aaron Bell, folk musicians The Marrieds, the Percussion Trio and more.
The presentation starts at 2 p.m. Sunday and you best get there early to score a seat. Since the school can’t fit all 36 million of us Canadians, it’s available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have selected the musical acts who will perform at their wedding service.
The loved-up couple are set to tie the knot at St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle on May 19, and they have chosen James Vivian, the Director of Music at the chapel, to lead the musical performances on their wedding day.
He said: "The Choristers, Lay Clerks, Organists and I are very much looking forward to this exciting day and are pleased to be performing at the service music chosen by the couple. We are also looking forward to welcoming to St George's musical colleagues from near and far who will be performing at this very special and joyful occasion."
On the day, James will direct the Choir of St George's Chapel, which comprises up to 23 boy choristers from St George's School and 12 Lay Clerks, who will sing alto, tenor and bass.
Another of the confirmed performers is Sheku Kanneh-Mason, a 19-year-old cellist who won BBC Young Musician 2016 and made his BBC Proms debut the following year.
He said: "I'm so excited and honored to perform at Prince Harry and Ms. Meghan Markle's wedding. I was bowled over when Ms. Markle called me to ask if I would play during the ceremony, and of course I immediately said yes! What a privilege to be able to play the cello at such a wonderful event. I can't wait!"
Karen Gibson and the Kingdom Choir, a Christian gospel group from England, have also been invited to perform at the wedding service.
Meanwhile, the Orchestra - which is conducted by Christopher Warren-Green - will perform with Welsh soprano Elin Manahan Thomas and trumpeter David Blackadder.
Luke Bond, the Assistant Director of Music of St George's Chapel, is set to play the organ, with State Trumpeters from all ranks of the Band of the Household Cavalry set to provide ceremonial support.
A statement on the Kensington Palace Twitter account explained: "Both Prince Harry and Ms. Markle have taken a great deal of interest and care in choosing the music for their Service, which will include a number of well-known hymns and choral works. (sic)"

Question: Red Wings' Filip Hronek: Play improving in first AHL season

Represent this text to find a news title for it

Hronek picked up a goal and an assist to lead AHL Grand Rapids to a 4-2 win over Cleveland on Friday.
Hronek's first professional campaign got off to a rough, rough start, but he has played much better over the past month. His overall numbers (21 points in 39 games) are impressive and he continues to log lots of playing time for the Griffins. His ceiling is that of a top-four defender at the NHL level, but Hronek will have to improve his play in his own zone to ultimately reach that level.

The Toronto Maple Leafs will have one of their top defenders back in the lineup for a pivotal Game 3 against the Washington Capitals. The 25-year-old will replace Roman Polak, who suffered a season-ending injury in Toronto's double overtime win in Game 2. He led the Leafs in minutes during his rookie NHL season and was second on the team's defence with 36 points.

Question: No. 2 Oklahoma leads with 3 1st-team AP All-Americans

No. 2 Oklahoma will bring three All-Americans to the College Football Playoff.
Quarterback Baker Mayfield, offensive tackle Orlando Brown and tight end Mark Andrews of Oklahoma were selected to the Associated Press All-America team, giving the Sooners more players on the first team than any school. The All-America team, which dates to 1925 and was selected this season by a panel of 17 Top 25 voters, was released Monday.
Four of the top five vote-getters for the Heisman Trophy made the first team, including the runaway winner Mayfield. Stanford's Bryce Love, the Heisman runner-up, and San Diego State's Rashaad Penny, the nation's leading rusher and fifth-place finisher for the Heisman, were the first-team running backs. Penn State's Saquon Barkley, who finished fourth in the Heisman voting, made the team as an all-purpose player.
Louisville's Lamar Jackson, last year's Heisman winner and All-America quarterback, was selected to the second team.

Question: B.C. man charged with two counts of animal cruelty after 46 dogs seized

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

Charges are being pressed against the owner responsible for the alleged neglect of 46 dogs near Williams Lake. Photo submitted
A Williams Lake man who had 46 dogs seized from his property in February, has been formally charged with two counts of animal cruelty.
The BC SPCA seized the dogs from Terry Baker on Feb. 22, due to concerns of neglect, undersocialization and distress. The animals ranged from puppies, to adult and older dogs.
“The dogs were seized because of lack of shelter, poor sanitation and inadequate veterinary care, but the biggest issue once they were in our care was that they were terrified of human contact,” said Marcie Moriarty, chief prevention and enforcement officer for the BC SPCA.
Read more: BC SPCA seizes 46 dogs near Williams Lake
The animals included American Eskimo, border collie, husky and Samoyed breeds, some of whom were pregnant when they were seized.
“One of the complications was that several of the dogs were pregnant and gave birth shortly after coming into SPCA care, but were too frightened to let staff near them or their puppies. Thankfully we have some extremely knowledgeable and dedicated staff members who were able to provide the care and treatment they needed despite the challenges,” said Moriarty.

The SPCA said veterinary and behavioural staff worked with the dogs hourly to help them adjust to everyday sights and sounds.
“This was a very intensive undertaking involving hundreds of staff and volunteer hours,” said Moriarty.
“The fact that the majority of the dogs have responded to the behaviour modification to the point that we were able to adopt them into new homes is quite incredible, given the condition they were in when they were seized.”
While the SPCA had been fearful they would have to euthanize some of the animals, today, only eight remain in SPCA care.
In April, Baker appealed the seizure, asking to have 10 of his animals returned.
Read more: B.C. man loses appeal to get 10 dogs back after more than 46 animals seized
In his appeal testimony, Baker said while the situation was not “perfectly ideal,” the dogs were well-fed, happy and none were harmed or abused.
He said things had “got away” from him following the death of his mother, and the seizure was simply a case of bad timing, after he had been sick with the flu.
The appeal was ultimately denied by the B.C. Farm Industry Review Board.
Baker has previously been convicted of animal cruelty in a case in Saskatchewan involving more than 70 dogs.
His sentence included conditions that he was not to own or possess more than 10 dogs, six horses, or 10 chickens, with an exception of an additional 20 dogs, horses, or chickens under the age of six months.
If convicted in court, Baker could face a fine of up to $10,000, five years in jail and a lifetime ban on owning animals.

Question: Asian shares fall back as investors cautious over Fed, China

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

TOKYO (AP) — Shares were mostly lower in Asia on Tuesday as investors stepped back after several days of advances, erasing early gains. Markets are awaiting the Federal Reserve meeting on Wednesday and the outcome of a major Chinese planning conference.
KEEPING SCORE: Japan's Nikkei 225 index lost 0.3 percent to 22,866.17 while South Korea's Kospi dropped 0.5 percent to 2,458.56. The Hang Seng index in Hong Kong shed 0.2 percent to 28,894.58. The Shanghai Composite index shed 0.7 percent to 3,300.24. The S&P ASX 200 added 0.3 percent to 6,013.20, but India's Sensex dropped 0.4 percent to 33,314.89. Other regional markets were mostly lower.
WALL STREET: Technology and health-cre companies led U.S. stocks modestly higher Monday, driving the market to another set of milestones, with the Standard & Poor's 500 index and Dow Jones industrial average finishing at new highs. The S&P 500 index rose 0.3 percent to 2,659.99. The Dow gained 0.2 percent to 24,386.03 and the Nasdaq composite added 0.5 percent to 6,875.08. The Russell 2000 index of smaller-company stocks slipped 0.1 percent to 1,519.84.
ANALYST VIEWPOINT: "The market is kind of in a holding pattern, just sort of waiting for the Fed meeting," said Randy Frederick, vice president of trading & derivatives at Charles Schwab. "The Fed sees enough strength in the overall economy, despite the lack of inflation, to still go ahead and continue to hike rates."

FEDERAL RESERVE: The Fed is expected to lift short-term interest rates by 0.25 percent on Wednesday, the third interest rate hike by the central bank this year. While inflation has remained low, the central bank has seen a path to gradually raise rates as the economy and labor market have strengthened.
CHINA: Investors are watching for details from an annual economic planning conference in Beijing that will set the pace for reforms and growth in the world's second-largest economy. The state-run Xinhua News Agency reported Friday that President Xi Jinping told fellow leaders that the focus should shift to quality of life and improve innovation and competitiveness. Worries over possible moves to curb property market speculation were overshadowing trading on Tuesday.
BITCOIN: Bitcoin futures rose on their first day of trading on a major U.S. exchange, with the first-ever futures contract gaining 20 percent to close at $18,545, according to data from Cboe Global Markets. The price of an actual bitcoin has soared since it began the year below $1,000 and was at $16,502.25 as of 06:20 GMT Tuesday, according to Coindesk.

Question: Federal Reserve to punish Wells Fargo for fake account scandal

The Federal Reserve is punishing Wells Fargo.
The Fed said late Friday that it will restrict the bank's growth in light of "widespread consumer abuses," including its notorious fake-accounts scandal.
Wells Fargo won't be allowed to get any bigger than it was at the end of last year until the Fed is satisfied that it has cleaned up its act.
"We cannot tolerate pervasive and persistent misconduct at any bank," outgoing Fed Chairwoman Janet Yellen said in a statement. Friday is her last day on the job.
Wells Fargo will replace three board members by April and a fourth by the end of the year. In addition, the bank must improve its risk management.
The bank agreed to the Fed's conditions under what's known as a consent decree.

In a statement, Wells Fargo said it is "confident" it can meet the Fed's requirements.
Wells Fargo has admitted that its workers responded to wildly unrealistic sales goals by creating 3.5 million potentially fake accounts. The bank has also said it forced up to 570,000 customers into unneeded auto insurance.

Protestors made some noise this morning in downtown Des Moines, outside a Wells Fargo stockholders meeting.
The protesters are blasting the bank over its business practices. Federal regulators recently slapped the bank with a $1 billion fine for loan abuses. Wells Fargo President and CEO Tim Sloan apologized in a video statement released last October.
“I am deeply sorry for the unacceptable sales practices in our retail bank and other mistakes that we’ve made. There is simply no excuse for what happened,” Sloan said. He echoed those remarks this morning. Sloan told investors that rebuilding trust is the company’s top priority. The protestors are calling for Wells Fargo to fire Sloan and the company’s entire board of directors.
In Iowa alone, Wells Fargo has around 16,000 employees.

Question: WI man arrested in serial toilet clogging, Sheboygan cops say

Represent this text to find a news title for it.

The toilets of Sheboygan, Wisconsin, are finally safe.
Sheboygan police arrested a 33-year-old man Monday on suspicion that he’s the vandal who spent the past two years clogging a public toilet more than two dozen times. Repairing clog after clog has drained thousands in taxpayer funds from the city, which is perched on Lake Michigan north of Milwaukee. Police have not named the suspect.
The Memorial Day arrest came following a tip from a citizen, police said.
The villain’s clogging tool was an unconventional one, according to police. He would take a 20-ounce soda bottle and jam it into a women’s toilet at the Deland Community Center in the city. Once he’d lodged a bottle deep in the pipes, the vandal would run-off — leaving behind a messy surprise for the city to clean up.

In March, the city got desperate enough that police issued a plea for help on Facebook.
“This is very strange … and gross, but that is the reality of life,” the city’s police department wrote at the time, begging for leads or tips.
Police said in March that surveillance cameras suggested a man was to blame. Commenters on Facebook said the city should have installed cameras years ago to catch the culprit and avoid paying to clean up after him.
As of March, the serial clogger had struck three times just this year, according to Joe Kerlin, the city’s parks and forestry superintendent. But the clogger had been even busier in past years, Kerlin told the Sheboygan Press — blocking the same public women’s toilet 14 times in 2017, and 12 the year before.
That substantial tally (29 cloggings — but who’s counting?) only includes incidents since the city began keeping track, Kerlin told the newspaper. And it wasn’t until halfway into 2016 it dawned on authorities that a serial clogger was on the loose. Kerlin estimated that the city has spent between $2,000 and $3,000 dealing with the clogger’s reign of terror.
“A lot of times we can just fish ’em out,” Kerlin told the newspaper, describing the best case scenario. Especially obstinate bottles mean plumbers have to remove the entire toilet.
The case has been passed off to the Sheboygan County District Attorney's Office for charges to be filed, WBAY reports.

Question: 'Psychic' paid $3.5M for exorcisms admits to tax evasion - wave3.com-Louisville News, Weather & Sports

Represent the article to find a fitting news title!

BOSTON (AP) - A purported psychic who charged an elderly Massachusetts woman more than $3.5 million for exorcisms and "spiritual cleansing" has pleaded guilty to evading taxes.
Federal prosecutors say 41-year-old Sally Ann Johnson of south Florida ran businesses that claimed to offer "psychic readings" and "spiritual cleansing and strengthening."
Between 2007 and 2014, prosecutors say a Martha's Vineyard woman paid Johnson more than $3.5 million for services that claimed to rid the woman of demons.
Prosecutors say Johnson didn't report the income and tried to hide the money so she wouldn't have to pay taxes on it.
Johnson pleaded guilty in the federal court in Boston Thursday and has agreed to repay the woman. She's expected to be sentenced in January.
Johnson's attorney declined to comment.

Question: GLOBAL MARKETS-Italy leads European mini-bounce as election risk fades slightly

* World stocks hit by trade war fears
* Italian bonds, stocks bounce on hope vote may be averted
* Euro rises off 10-month lows vs dlr; bounces vs yen, franc (Updates throughout)
By Sujata Rao
LONDON, May 30 (Reuters) - Hopes that Italy might avoid a potentially damaging general election lifted European markets on Wednesday, bringing Italian bond yields off multi-year highs and dampening some of the recent buying interest for German and U.S. government bonds.
The backdrop for world markets remained sombre, however, as the United States revived trade war fears with an announcement that it would press ahead with tariffs and restrictions on Chinese investments, and Beijing threatened to retaliate.
The prospect of acrimony between the world’s biggest two economies added to fears for the global economy, already feeling the hit from the risk of an Italy-driven crisis in the euro zone.
However, equity futures signalled Wall Street indexes would open around half a percent higher, after the previous day’s harsh session and losses across Asia earlier on Wednesday, where a key equity index shed more than 1 percent.
World stocks slipped 0.2 percent, heading for their sixth day in the red, but European shares made tentative gains after falling almost 4 percent in the past five days.
The recovery was partly driven by news that Italy’s two anti-establishment parties were again renewing efforts to form a government, rather than force the country back to the polls for the second time this year.
Another positive was a smooth auction of Italian debt that raised 5.57 billion euros, easing concerns about Rome’s ability to finance itself.
“(The auction) clearly indicates that investors still have faith in the Italian economy, if not the government,” said Seema Shah, global investment strategist at Principal Global Investors. But she warned that political uncertainty would remain elevated.
Japan’s biggest private life insurance firm, Nippon Life, which holds some 4.8 trillion yen ($44 billion) worth of euro zone bonds, said it had no plans for now to buy or sell its Italian debt holdings.
Milan-listed equities snapped a five-day losing streak and bounced almost 2 percent while short-dated Italian bond yields - a sensitive gauge of political risk - fell more than half a percent from half-decade highs.
They had suffered their worst day in nearly 26 years on Tuesday. Ten-year Italian yields slipped 18 bps.
The risk for investors is that eurosceptic political parties are further boosted, with any election viewed as a de facto referendum on Italy’s euro membership.
The events have evoked memories of the 2011-2012 euro debt crisis, with potentially huge implications for the single currency.
The risks had sent investors scurrying for safer German and U.S. governmment bonds as well as currencies such as the yen and Swiss franc, at the expense of the euro.
That safe-haven trend receded on Wednesday, with the euro bouncing almost one percent versus the dollar and recouping all its Tuesday losses, which had taken it down to 10-month lows . It also rose between 0.7 percent and one percent against the Swiss franc and yen respectively.
“The political problems in Italy heighten the risk of a systematic problem within the euro zone and within the euro zone financial system, but that is still a risk rather than a probability,” said Laith Khalaf, senior analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown.
The improved mood encouraged investors to sell U.S. and German bonds, reversing some of the 15-20 bps yield rises seen on Tuesday. U.S. 10-year yields jumped more than 10 basis points to 2.87 percent while their German counterparts were up 8.5 basis points.
Most investors remain cautious though, with Goldman Sachs cutting its forecast for the euro’s exchange rate against the dollar due to Italian political developments. It said it now expected the euro to trade at $1.25 in 12 months’ time versus its previous $1.30 prediction.
With brewing trade conflicts, world growth is another concern. The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development warned in its latest report that a trade war was threatening the growth outlook.
That is likely to weigh especially hard on the developing world - emerging equities were down more than one percent to 5-1/2 month lows while Shanghai shares dropped 1.4 percent.
Emerging markets are also suffering from the dollar’s surge since mid-April, with Indonesia raising interest rates for the second time in two weeks to support the rupiah currency.
“Italian politics mask the underlying growing risks of a U.S.-China trade war,” ING Bank analysts told clients.

GLOBAL MARKETS--Stocks march on as Fed rate hike looms, dollar steady

Question: Seahawks' Bennett plans to continue national anthem protest

CARSON, Calif. (AP) — Seattle Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett said Sunday he will sit during the national anthem this season to protest social injustice and segregation.
Bennett sat on the visiting bench during “The Star-Spangled Banner” before the Seahawks’ preseason opener against the Los Angeles Rams, a decision he made prior to protests by white supremacists at the University of Virginia over the weekend. But what happened in Charlottesville, Virginia, including the death of a young woman when she was struck by a car deliberately driven into a group of counter-protesters on Saturday, solidified Bennett’s decision.
“With everything that’s been going on the last couple of months and especially after the last couple of days, seeing everything in Virginia, seeing what’s going on out there earlier today in Seattle, I just wanted to be able to use my platform to be able to continue to speak over injustice,” Bennett said.
“First of all, I want people to understand I love the military. My father was in the military. I love hot dogs like any other American. I love football like any other American, but I don’t love segregation. I don’t love riots. I don’t love oppression. I don’t love gender slander. I just want to see people have the equality that they deserve, and I want to be able to use this platform to continuously push the message of that, you know, and keep journeying out and keep finding out how unselfish can we be as a society.”
Bennett was at least the third prominent NFL player to protest during the anthem in the first full week of preseason games. Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch, a former teammate of Bennett’s in Seattle, also sat during the anthem. Los Angeles Rams defensive end Robert Quinn raised his right fist, continuing his approach from last season following then-San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s decision to kneel during the anthem.
Kaepernick is a free agent, and the controversy over his decision to protest the anthem and the form he used has not quelled, even as he remains unsigned.
Bennett said he is willing to deal with similar fallout.
“Of course I’m going to face backlash,” Bennett said. “This is bigger than me. This is bigger than football. This is bigger than anything that we have. This is about people. This is about bringing opportunities to people, giving people equality. This is bigger than a sport.”
Bennett said he had spoken to several other NFL players about possible protests, but had not talked with Lynch yet. While he acknowledged the possibility of more widespread and formally organized protests happening later, Bennett wanted to express himself.
“I think everybody has a time where they feel like they need to be who they are and stand up for what they believe in,” Bennett said.
Seahawks coach Pete Carroll did not have a response to Bennett’s actions, saying he only became aware of it after the game.
Bennett said the aim of his protest is to make people uncomfortable. In the process, he hopes to spur greater communication, understanding and involvement across racial, gender and socio-economic lines.
“Everyone is in their comfort zone right now,” Bennett said. “Get out there and become uncomfortable. Go out there and see what it’s like out there in society right now.”

The Miami Dolphins' Stephen Ross was one of several owners who said in depositions that President Donald Trump played a role in conversations about how NFL teams should handle national anthem protests, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The depositions were made for a grievance filed by former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who claims he has been blackballed by the league over anthem protests.
According to the Journal, Ross said in his testimony that Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft relayed conversations they had with Trump at a league owners meeting.
“I was totally supportive of [the players] until Trump made his statement,” Ross said in his deposition before going on to say he thought Trump "changed the dialogue." Ross also acknowledged that he believed the protests were hurting the Dolphins financially, according to the Journal, and that he felt NFL commissioner Roger Goodell was influenced by Trump's comments.

The Journal also reported that Ross met with Dolphins players multiple times and asked those who wished to protest to stay off the field during the anthem.
“They informed the coach that they couldn’t, in their conscience, stay in the tunnel. They wanted to go out,” Ross wrote in his deposition, according to the Journal.

The depositions were taken prior to the league's national anthem policy change that was made on May 23. Under the new policy, players and league personnel on the sideline will be required to stand during the national anthem. If they don't want to stand, they will have the option to remain in the locker room. At the time of the announcement, the Dolphins said they have no comment on the policy.
Last season, three Dolphins did not stand for the anthem for most of the season — receiver Kenny Stills, tight end Julius Thomas and safety Michael Thomas. Of those three, only Stills is still with the team. All said they were protesting social issues, including law enforcement treatment of African Americans.

Several other Dolphins, including left tackle Laremy Tunsil, did not stand for the anthem during the one game immediately following Trump's critical comments about players who don't stand for the anthem.
