March 27, 2024, 12:55:24 pm Mark says: Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked  When Hamas spokesman Abu Ubaida began a speech marking the 100th day of the war in Gaza, one confounding yet eye-opening proclamation escaped the headlines. Listing the motives for the Palestinian militant group's Oct. 7 massacre in Israel, he accused Jews of "bringing red cows" to the Holy Land.

September 24, 2017, 10:45:16 pm Psalm 51:17 says: The specific rule pertaining to the national anthem is found on pages A62-63 of the league rulebook. It states: “The National Anthem must be played prior to every NFL game, and all players must be on the sideline for the National Anthem. “During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking. The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country. Failure to be on the field by the start of the National Anthem may result in discipline, such as fines, suspensions, and/or the forfeiture of draft choice(s) for violations of the above, including first offenses.”
September 20, 2017, 04:32:32 am Christian40 says: "The most popular Hepatitis B vaccine is nothing short of a witch’s brew including aluminum, formaldehyde, yeast, amino acids, and soy. Aluminum is a known neurotoxin that destroys cellular metabolism and function. Hundreds of studies link to the ravaging effects of aluminum. The other proteins and formaldehyde serve to activate the immune system and open up the blood-brain barrier. This is NOT a good thing."

Yen Rises as Officials Step Up Currency War Rhetoric
16 January 2014, by John Detrixhe & Joseph Ciolli (Bloomberg)
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-01-16/yen-rises-as-officials-step-up-currency-war-rhetoric-rand-drops.html

Excerpt:

The yen strengthened against the dollar for a second day after its 5.7% drop over the past month prompted criticism from leaders around the world that recent exchange-rate moves have been excessive.

Japan’s currency pared gains as risk appetite improved and stocks erased losses.

The yen rose earlier after touching a 30- month low on Jan. 14 as the nation’s policy makers moved to boost inflation and spur growth.

A gauge of volatility increased to a four-month high as Russia’s central bank said the world’s leading economies are on the brink of a “currency war.”

South Africa’s rand rose from the weakest level this year.

“You’re waiting for the next piece of news to push the yen above the 90 level,” Fabian Eliasson, vice president of corporate foreign-exchange sales at Mizuho Financial Group Inc. in New York, said in a telephone interview.

“A lot of the inflation target of 2% and the previous intervention has already been priced into the market.”

The yen advanced 0.3% to 88.51 per dollar at 2:37 p.m. New York time, following a 0.8% jump yesterday.

It gained as much as 1.1% earlier today.

The Japanese currency reached 89.67 on Jan. 14, the weakest level since June 2010.

It gained 0.4% today to 117.65 per euro after reaching 120.13 on Jan. 14, the weakest since May 2011.

The shared currency depreciated 0.1% to $1.3291 after touching $1.3404 on Jan. 14, the highest since Feb. 29.

Implied volatility climbed.

JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s G7 Volatility Index, based on three-month options on Group of Seven nations’ currencies, reached 8.53%, the most since Sept. 6.

It fell to 7.06 on Dec. 18, the lowest since August 2007.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index was little changed after falling earlier as much as 0.3%.
