Wednesday's Powerball drawing could see $750 million winner

Lottery players will get another chance to become a multi-millionaire and live the high life.

After months without a winner, the Powerball jackpot has spiraled upwards to a massive $750 million.

Wednesday night’s drawing gives those who buy a $2 ticket a chance at the fourth-largest lottery jackpot in U.S. history.

The big prize has grown steadily since the last jackpot winner on Dec. 26; the odds of matching the five white balls and single Powerball are a staggering one in 292.2 million.

LAWYER FOR 1.5 BILLION DOLLAR LOTTERY WINNER STEPS FORWARD

The $750 million estimate refers to the annuity option, paid over 29 years. Nearly all grand prize winners opt for the cash prize, which for Wednesday's drawing would be an estimated $465.5 million.

Earlier this month one lucky South Carolinian, who opted to stay anonymous, claimed a Mega Millions jackpot and settled for a $878 million lump sum.

The Powerball drawing takes place at 10:59 pm ET. If you're intent on playing, the last chance to buy a ticket is about an hour before the drawing.

Powerball is played in 44 states, plus Washington, D.C., the U.S Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.

Woman Told to “Cover Up” Before Flying Out of “Diverse” UK City of Birmingham

A woman flying out of the “diverse” UK city of Birmingham, which has a 25% Muslim population, was told to “cover up” or be kicked off her flight.

“Flying from Bham to Tenerife, Thomas Cook told me that they were going to remove me from the flight if I didn’t “cover up” as I was “causing offence” and was “inappropriate”. They had 4 flight staff around me to get my luggage to take me off the plane,” tweeted Emily O’Connor.

“I informed the staff that there is no “appropriate wear” policy stipulated online,” said O’Connor, who was wearing a sort of crop top. “I stood up on the flight and asked if anyone was offended, no-one said a word.”

The woman successfully passed through airport security and passport control wearing the top, but what told to cover-up as soon as she boarded the plane.

She asked those on the plane if she was offending anyone and received no response before a man shouted, “Shut up you pathetic woman. Put a f*cking jacket on.”

The staff said nothing to the man and immediately went to retrieve O’Connor’s bags to get her off the plane.

“I was given a jacket by my cousin sitting at the front of the plane and they did not leave until I physically put it on. They made comments over the speaker about the situation and left me shaking and upset on my own,” O’Connor added.

While it’s not known what triggered the attempt to remove the woman from the plane, some have suggested that elements of Birmingham’s “diverse” population may have been enforcing modesty culture.

Muslims make up around 25% of the population of Birmingham, which is England’s second city after London.

Birmingham is so “super diverse” that British white people are set to become a minority in the city by 2021, according to a recent study.

A study last year found that almost 50,000 of the 1.1 million inhabitants of Birmingham cannot speak English. In 2017, there were a whopping 620 cases of female genital mutilation (FGM) just in Birmingham and surrounding environs.

French Islamists are even moving to Birmingham so their wives can wear the full veil, which is banned in France.

Birmingham airport also provides ‘Wudu’ rooms that are used for “ritual Islamic purification”.

CNN: Polls Show Bernie Sanders' Popularity Dropping

Polls are showing that Sen. Bernie Sanders' popularity is dropping among all voters over the past few months, even after he was able to hold onto most of the popularity he enjoyed during his 2016 presidential race through the end of last year.

According to a new CNN poll, Sanders' favorable rating is at 46 percent among registered voters, compared to an unfavorable rating of 45 percent, reports CNN

Meanwhile, a Quinnipiac University poll from late in December gave the Vermont Independent senator and 2020 Democratic presidential candidate a net favorability rating of plus two points, and an average of recent polls puts his net favorability at minus one point.

When Sanders' presidential bid ended in 2016, he had a 59 percent favorable rating, compared to a 36 percent unfavorable rating among voters in a CNN poll in June 2016.

Even in December 2018, a CNN poll gave the senator a plus 13 net favorability rating, and a Gallup poll in September put him at plus 15.

Sanders' net favorability, though, is at about the same place as the numerous others who have declared their candidacy for the 2020 nomination, even though he does enjoy more name recognition than many of the other contenders.

He also may need to show that he is electable against President Donald Trump. According to the newest CNN poll, 30 percent of Democratic voters think their party has a better chance of winning with him as the nominee, but 59 percent think a different candidate would be more likely to win.

Long Thai crisis morphed coup leader's career into politics

Prayuth Chan-ocha became prime minister in a very Thai way: He led a military coup.

Now after five years of running Thailand with absolute power, he's seeking to hold on to the top job through the ballot box. The military's thinly veiled proxy party has put forward Prayuth as its nominee for prime minister after Sunday's election.

"He knows he can't be a dictator like this forever," said Prajak Kongkirati, a political science lecturer at Bangkok's Thammasat University. "He wants to gain more legitimacy and that's why he's holding the elections. He wants to return as a prime minister under normal politics."

After toppling the elected government in May 2014 with a pledge to "return happiness to the people," Prayuth outlawed criticism of his regime and vowed the country would not have elections as long as there was dissent. He promised elections and then delayed them every year he was in power.

That's given Prayuth time to smooth out some rough edges. He's shed some awkward military stiffness, while keeping a general's swagger. He's worn increasingly well-tailored suits — for which his wife takes credit — and, as pressure for an election mounted, largely transformed himself into the Thai equivalent of your typical baby-kissing politician.

He can boast some accomplishments during his time at the helm, most notably cleaning up the aviation, fishing and wildlife industries — which had put Thailand at peril of foreign economic sanctions — along with stepping up the fight against human trafficking, which also risked trade retaliation.

Running the show has been fairly smooth though thanks to his government's clampdown on opponents, the rubberstamp legislature he hand-picked and the law he enacted making all of his actions legal.

Should he remain prime minister after the election, he will be without what he refers to as his "special powers" and his patience could be tested as he has to deal with actual elected lawmakers who may be unwilling to dance to his tune.

"He has a strong personality, vigorous, and direct. If he tries to become a politician, he could try to change but he would never really be able to change 100 percent," said Supparuek Tongchairith, a veteran military beat reporter for Thai Rath, the country's largest-circulation newspaper. "Because his boiling point is low, if anyone pokes at him, he will explode. And for him to sit in the parliament, I guarantee, he will run into troubles."

Prayuth's situation is inextricably tied to Thailand's last 13 years of political tumult.

In one respect he has been the instrument of the conservative forces in Thai society. They could not accept the rise of billionaire politician Thaksin Shinawatra, whose populist policies after being elected prime minister in 2001 threatened to unravel the country's long-established power structure: Bangkok-oriented, devoted to the monarchy and safeguarded by the military.

Prayuth, 65, was born and raised in an army family at a military camp in the northeastern province of Nakhon Ratchasima. He attended a military preparatory school and graduated from Chulachomklao Royal Military Academy, Thailand's West Point.

Prayuth was already a senior figure in the army when it staged a 2006 coup against Thaksin, justifying its action with allegations against him of abuse of power, self-enrichment and corruption that had triggered large protests. Some suggested that Thaksin sought to usurp the monarchy's place in Thai society.

Instead of easing tensions, the coup set off a bitter and often violent struggle for power between Thaksin's supporters and his opponents. Thaksin had his fortune and newly empowered poor and rural followers on his side; arrayed against him were the courts and the military, deeply loyal to the monarchy, which traditionally has been the country's most influential institution.

It was in this period that Prayuth climbed the ladder to the top of the military hierarchy. As commander of the First Army Region, he helped lead the bloody suppression of pro-Thaksin demonstrators in central Bangkok in 2010. In October that year, he became the army commander-in-chief.

After abandoning a sham effort to mediate between the Thaksin-backed government and its opponents who had been staging violent protests against it, Prayuth and the leaders of the other armed forces announced they were seizing power on May 22, 2014.

Prayuth and his junta spelled out their major tasks, including brokering national reconciliation and enacting reforms across Thai society to save the nation from what is said was the inherent corruption of politicians.

The leaders of the 2006 coup restored electoral democracy after about a year in power only to see Thaksin's allies bounce back.

It quickly became evident that this junta had no intention of allowing any Thaksin-allied party from coming to power again and that any attempts at reconciliation were going to be one-sided.

Under Prayuth's junta, called the National Council for Peace and Order, many civil liberties were curbed and military courts judged civilian political offenders. Government critics were summoned, or sometimes snatched off the streets, for "attitude adjustment" at army camps, a week or so in detention at an army base with a stern lecture to elicit a promise not to do it again. Longer term measures, such as a new constitution and election laws fashioned to handicap Thaksin's political machine, were also enacted.

Prayuth, who was unanimously elected prime minister by his appointed legislature, has a famously quick temper and can bristle at anyone who questions him. Couple that with a sometimes off-color sense of humor and it can lead to verbal attacks, gaffes or just plain bizarre moments.

He's jokingly told reporters he would have them executed, quipped that he might behead a soap opera star who called for elections, flung a banana peel at a cameraman and given an entire news conference in which he fondled the ear of a nearby sound technician.

Since the coup, the general has also drawn attention for his songwriting, penning a number of sappy ballads with nationalistic lyrics.

Prayuth — who has twin daughters, now grown, who for a time were in a pop band called Badz — has at times taken on the role of tough-love dad, especially during his weekly primetime television broadcast aired on all major Thai stations, "Returning Happiness to the People." The monologues can last an hour and half and touch on everything from the moral responsibility of youth to tips on cultivating orchids.

Yet allegations of nepotism against Prayuth's own relatives have led to uncomfortable accusations of hypocrisy. After the coup, a company owned by one of Prayuth's nephews that had no track record of projects was awarded lucrative army construction contracts. Prayuth's brother, also a former high-ranking army man, drew criticism when it was revealed that he made another son who had no military experience to an army officer.

Of course the most glaring contradiction may be Prayuth's own transformation.

As it became more likely he would seek to stay on as prime minister, he began allying with the very politicians he initially declared were the targets of junta reforms and launched government handouts that were nearly carbon copies of Thaksin's populist policies.

Early last year he made it clear, telling reporters: "I am no longer a soldier. Understood? I'm just a politician who used to be a soldier."

‘Golden cross’ for stocks doesn’t always glitter

Traders work on the floor at the NYSE in New York

March 20, 2019

By Chuck Mikolajczak

NEW YORK (Reuters) – The Dow Jones Industrial Average triggered a technical signal on Tuesday that many investors believe could portend more gains for stocks in the short term, known as the golden cross.

The chart pattern comes about when a short-term moving average moves above a longer-term moving average. Moving averages are popular trend indicators used by technical analysts.

In the case of the Dow on Tuesday, the 50-day moving average crossed above the index’s 200-day moving average, which is the most widely watched combination among technicians. Some analysts employ additional criteria in determining whether a cross is triggered, for example, if both moving averages are sloping upward, which the Dow’s currently are.

Even with the Dow’s slightly lower close on Tuesday on trade concerns, the 50-day managed to end the session above the 200-day moving average.

Other major indexes, such as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq, have moved closer to a golden cross as stocks continue to rally off their late December lows, buoyed by a Federal Reserve pause in interest rate hikes and building investor optimism for a trade deal between the U.S. and China.

“All signs are pointing towards continued good performance, and the golden cross just accentuates that because that is another positive story,” said Ken Polcari, managing principal at Butcher Joseph Asset Management in New York.

Polcari said the cross should not be looked at in a vacuum, however, and pointed to gains in the S&P 500 and Nasdaq that have lifted those indexes above their highs from early March as further evidence the market is strengthening.

“You have to look at it in the context of some of the other indicators,” Polcari said.

On Dec. 7, the S&P 500 triggered a bearish counterpart, known as a “death cross,” when the 50-day moving average fell below the 200-day. The benchmark index went down another nearly 11 percent before bottoming on Dec. 24.

The Dow last triggered a golden cross on April 19, 2016 and closed out the year 9.5 percent higher from there.

(Graphic: Dow Golden Cross link: https://tmsnrt.rs/2ULiKEu).

Still, the golden cross is far from a bulletproof signal. According to Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist at CFRA Research in New York, using a “golden cross” strategy yielded a lower return than the compound annual growth rates for the Dow and smallcap Russell 2000 index since 1990.

The results were different for the S&P 500, however, with the “golden cross” strategy yielding returns similar to the index while also enabling investors to avoid major sell-offs and bouts of volatility.

Since 2000, the biggest drop yearly using a cross strategy would be 6 percent versus 38 percent for the index. In addition, the strategy topped the performance of the index 55 percent of the time.

(Dow triggers golden cross link: https://tmsnrt.rs/2HvPWNE).

As a result, Stovall thinks the strategy could be feasible for an investor depending on what their goal is.

“In many ways (technical analysis) is an interpretive science. I think it is a good one, but not everybody interprets the pattern the same way,” he said.

Venezuela’s Guaido: ‘Medical support’ coming, government says China sending medicines

Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido, who many nations have recognized as the country's rightful interim ruler, speaks to supporters in Caracas

March 29, 2019

CARACAS (Reuters) – Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido said on Friday that “important medical support” would arrive within hours, as the government of President Nicolas Maduro indicated it was preparing to receive a shipment of medicine from its ally China.

“In the coming hours, we will be receiving important medical support to control this tragedy,” Guaido said in a video posted to his Twitter account, without providing details.

“The regime recognizes its failure by accepting the existence of a complex humanitarian emergency.”

The country’s hyperinflationary crisis has made food and medicine unaffordable for most citizens, fueling widespread malnutrition, especially among children, and diseases that are preventable. But Maduro’s government has for years rejected the idea of a humanitarian crisis.

Guaido said meetings had been held with the Organization of American States, the Red Cross and with the “the church,” presumably in reference to the Catholic Church. He did not say where the aid would come from or specify who would receive it.

His press team did respond to requests for further details.

Industries Minister Tareck El Aissami is scheduled to hold a news conference on Friday afternoon at the country’s principal airport to discuss a shipment of medicine arriving from China, according to an email sent by the information ministry on Friday.

The information ministry did not immediately reply to a request for comment on Guaido’s statement and on the shipment of medicine from China.

Guaido in February led an effort to bring humanitarian aid into the country via Colombia and Brazil, but troops loyal to Maduro repelled the U.S.-backed convoys. The government said they were part of a veiled invasion led by Washington.

The United States has backed Guaido as Venezuela’s legitimate head of state and levied crippling sanctions on Maduro’s government in efforts to push him from office.

Guaido has been recognized as Venezuela’s legitimate president by most Western nations, who say Maduro’s second term is illegitimate because it is the product of a fraudulent 2018 re-election.

China, which has major oil investments in the country, continues to back Maduro and has offered to help his government improve the power supply that has been interrupted by frequent blackouts.

Russia and China continue to back Maduro and accuse the United States of meddling in Venezuela’s affairs.

Business chief says delaying Brexit is an option for sanity

The head of one of Britain's biggest business organizations says Prime Minister Theresa May's decision to allow lawmakers to delay the country's exit from the European Union provides an "option on sanity."

May on Tuesday said Parliament will get the chance to delay Britain's scheduled March 29 departure if lawmakers fail to approve the divorce agreement with the bloc.

Confederation of British Industry head Carolyn Fairbairn told the BBC on Wednesday that neither business nor the government is ready to leave, and exiting without a deal would be "a wrecking ball on our economy."

Brexit Secretary Stephen Barclay refused to take the possibility of a no-deal Brexit off the table, however, telling the BBC: "It will be for Parliament to decide."

Multiple people died Thursday when a semitrailer plowed into stationary traffic that resulted in explosions and flames on a Colorado freeway, authorities said.

The incident occurred just before 5 p.m. in the Denver suburb of Lakewood when a truck driver lost control while traveling east on Interstate 70, according to a preliminary investigation. The collision started a chain reaction and a diesel fuel spill, Lakewood police spokesman Ty Countryman told the Denver Post.

“This is looking to be one of the worst accidents we’ve had here in Lakewood,” he said.

The driver of the runaway truck survived. At least one truck was carrying lumber, another was hauling gravel and the third may have been carrying mattresses, KDVR-TV reported.

President Trump will address members and leaders of the National Rifle Association on Friday at the group’s annual convention in Indiana.

Around 80,000 gun enthusiasts and more than 800 exhibitors are expected to pack the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis for the three-day event, the Indianapolis Star reported. It will mark the third straight year that Trump will deliver the keynote address, where he is expected to champion the rights of gun owners.

“Donald Trump is the most enthusiastic supporter of the Second Amendment to occupy the Oval Office in our lifetimes,” Chris Cox, executive director of the NRA’s Institute for Legislative Action (ILA), said in a statement. “President Trump’s Supreme Court appointments ensure that the Second Amendment will be respected for generations to come. Our members are excited to hear him speak and thank him for his support for our Right to Keep and Bear Arms.”

Trump and Vice President Mike Pence spoke at last year’s convention in Dallas. During his speech, Trump assured gun owners that he would protect their Second Amendment rights, according to the paper.

“Your Second Amendment rights are under siege,” Trump told the cheering audience in Dallas. “But they will never, ever be under siege as long as I am your president.”

Trump has supported some gun control measures in the past. Last year, his administration imposed a ban on bump stocks, attachments that enable semiautomatic rifles to fire in rapid bursts. Although, he most recently threatened to veto two Democratic gun control bills.

This year’s convention comes as the NRA faces outside pressure and internal problems. The group has seen its legislative agenda stall amid a series of mass shootings — including a massacre at a Parkland, Fla., high school in February 2018 that left 17 dead and launched a youth movement against gun violence.

It’s also grappling with infighting in its ranks, money problems and investigations into whether Russian agents courted officials and funneled money through the group.

“I’ve never seen the NRA this vulnerable,” said John Feinblatt, president of Everytown for Gun Safety, a nonprofit that advocates for gun control measure.

The convention will run through the weekend and conclude Sunday.

(Reuters) – Ailing British retailer Debenhams said two proposed company voluntary arrangements (CVA) could see all its stores remaining open during 2019, with 22 closures planned for next year, putting about 1,200 jobs at risk.

Debenhams’ lenders took control of the retailer earlier this month in a process designed to keep its shops open at the expense of shareholders.

BENGALURU (Reuters) – Chinese brands controlled a record 66 percent of Indian smartphone market in the first quarter, led by Xiaomi Corp, a report showed, with volumes rising 20 percent on the back of popularity for brands like Vivo, RealMe and Oppo.

Xiaomi’s India shipments fell by 2 percent over last year, but the Beijing-based company was still the biggest smartphone brand in the country, followed by Samsung Electronics Co Ltd, according to Hong-Kong based Counterpoint Research.

Shipment volumes for Vivo jumped 119 percent, while those of Oppo rose 28 percent.

“Vivo’s expanding portfolio in the mid-tier range ($100 to $180) drove its growth along with aggressive Indian Premier League cricket campaign,” Counterpoint analysts said.

India is the world’s fastest growing market for smartphones, where affordable pricing coupled with features like “selfie” cameras and big screens have popularized Chinese brands.

Video streaming services like Netflix Inc and Hotstar, as well as heavy usage of messaging apps like Facebook Inc’s WhatsApp have further spurred demand.

“Data consumption is on the rise and users are upgrading their phones faster as compared to other regions,” Counterpoint’s Tarun Pathak said.

“As a result of this, the premium specs are now diffusing faster into the mid-tier price brands. We estimate this trend to continue leading to a competitive mid-tier segment in coming quarters.”

Good morning and welcome to Fox News First. Here’s a look at what you need to know today …

EXCLUSIVE: Trump says ‘Sleepy Joe’ Biden doesn’t have what it takes

President Trump, in a wide-ranging, exclusive phone interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity, dismissed the launch of former Vice President Joe Biden’s presidential campaign, nicknaming him “Sleepy Joe” and saying he’s “not the brightest bulb.” Biden, the president said, has name recognition but he won’t “be able to do the job.” When asked about Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., Trump criticized his record, saying Sanders had “misguided energy” and asserted that Sanders “talks a lot” but hasn’t accomplished anything. The president referred to former U.S. Rep. Beto O’Rourke of Texas as “a fluke” who had lost much momentum and outright dismissed Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., and South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg — although he said he was “rooting” for Buttigieg. (Trump could address Biden and the other Democratic presidential candidates when he speaks today before the National Rifle Association.)

The Democratic Party’s youth movement: Biden’s biggest challenge?
Former Democratic National Committee (DNC) chair Howard Dean warned Joe Biden about the troubles he may face in his presidential campaign, especially from the “35-year-olds” who Dean says have been running the party — a clear nod to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and fellow freshmen Democrats. “This is a very different party than even the party Joe Biden ran in in 2012. Very different,” Dean continued. “A lot of people could win this race. There’s 20 people in there. I think it’s going to take $20 million to get to the starting line. If you can’t raise $20 million, you’re gone, and I think that’s going to take care of about six or eight of these folks. … But it is not the same party that it was five years ago.” A progressive political group that boosted Ocasio-Cortez’s bid for Congress last year vowed to oppose Biden and blasted him as part of the “old guard.”

More tales from the FBI texts
Text messages between former FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page indicate they discussed using briefings to the Trump team after the 2016 election to identify people they could “develop for potential relationships,” track lines of questioning and “assess” changes in “demeanor” – language one GOP lawmaker called “more evidence” of irregular conduct in the original Russia probe. Fox News has learned the texts, initially released in 2018 by a Senate committee, are under renewed scrutiny, with GOP Sen. Chuck Grassley and Homeland Security Committee chair Ron Johnson sending a letter Thursday night to Attorney General Bill Barr pushing for more information on the matter. President Trump, speaking on Fox News’ “Hannity” Thursday night, responded to this report by accusing Strzok and Page of an attempted “coup.” “They were trying to infiltrate the administration,” he said.

Kim accuses US of acting in ‘bad faith’
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, fresh off his summit with  Russian President Vladimir Putin, said the U.S. has been acting in “bad faith” since his Hanoi meeting with President Trump over the stalemated issue of North Korean denuclearization. The North Korean leader told the Korean Central News Agency that, “the situation on the Korean Peninsula and the region is now at a standstill and has reached a critical point,” the Straits Times of Singapore reported. Kim warned that the situation “may return to its original state as the U.S. took a unilateral attitude in bad faith at the recent second DPRK-US summit talks,” the Korean Central News Agency added.

NFL Draft 2019: It’s all about defense
The first round of the 2019 NFL Draft saw a run on defensive players, with eight of the top 12 picks in Nashville coming from that side of the ball. After Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray was taken first overall by the Arizona Cardinals, the San Francisco 49ers started a run of four straight front-seven players by taking Ohio State defensive end Nick Bosa with the second overall pick — the highest draft slot for any Buckeye since left tackle Orlando Pace went No. 1 overall to the St. Louis Rams in 1997.
