U.S. stocks closed more than 1 percent lower on Tuesday and the blue-chip average closed 291 points down .
It had dropped as much as 390 points earlier in the day .
Caterpillar and Microsoft both reported weaker quarterly results and their shares consequently fell sharply .
Many multinational companies have posted disappointing results and forecasts, with the stronger dollar a common culprit .
'There was just too much hype about the U.S. economy having risen into a higher growth channel. We're still stumbling along,' said one expert . | U.S. stocks closed more than 1 percent lower on Tuesday after disappointing outlooks from Caterpillar and Microsoft raised worries about future profit growth at companies, while an unexpected decline in durable goods orders also weighed on sentiment. The Dow Jones industrial average dropped 291 points, or 1.7 percent, to close at 17,387 on Tuesday. The blue-chip average had dropped as much as 390 points earlier in the day. The Standard & Poor's 500 index slid 27 points, or 1.3 percent, to 2,029. The Nasdaq composite tumbled 90 points, or 1.9 percent, to 4,681. The Dow Jones industrial average dropped 291 points, or 1.7 percent, to close at 17,387 on Tuesday. The blue-chip average had dropped as much as 390 points earlier in the day. The day's losses were broad, with nine of the 10 primary S&P 500 sectors lower on the day, though tech was the biggest drag by far. The group lost 3.3 percent in its biggest one-day drop since November 2011, in the wake of results from industry bellwether Microsoft. Industrial shares fell, led by Caterpillar. The two names were the biggest decliners on the Dow, but fellow components Procter & Gable and DuPont Co also tumbled. Microsoft fell 9.3 percent to $42.66 a day after the main engine of its historic earnings power - selling Windows and Office to big businesses - showed signs of waning. Heavy machinery marker Caterpillar gave an outlook below expectations, warning that the recent plunge in oil prices would hurt its energy equipment business. Shares dropped 7.2 percent to $79.85. 'There's clearly a lot of froth baked into certain areas of tech, while Caterpillar is giving tangible evidence that things can go down more than they already have,' said Jim O'Donnell, chief investment officer at Forward in San Francisco. U.S. stocks closed more than 1 percent lower on Tuesday after disappointing outlooks from Caterpillar and Microsoft raised worries about future profit growth at companies . 'People may not be aware of the sensitivities that heavy industrial guys have to the oil cycle, or what the ripple effects of oil's weakness will be. There are a lot of companies that are going to be adversely impacted.' With 24 percent of the S&P 500 having reported, 70.6 percent of companies have topped earnings expectations while 55.5 percent have beaten on revenue, according to Thomson Reuters data. That compares with the long-term average of 63 percent for earnings and 61 percent for revenue. Many multinational companies disappointed this quarter, with the stronger dollar a common culprit. P&G was one of the companies pressured by a stronger dollar, sending shares down 3.4 percent to $86.49. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 291.49 points, or 1.65 percent, to 17,387.21, the S&P 500 lost 27.54 points, or 1.34 percent, to 2,029.55 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 90.27 points, or 1.89 percent, to 4,681.50. Adding to the day's weakness, a gauge of U.S. business investment plans unexpectedly fell in December, another sign that slowing global growth and falling crude oil prices were having an impact on the economy. On the plus side, consumer confidence posted its highest reading since August 2007. That helped indexes recover from their lows of the session; the Dow earlier fell as much as 2.2 percent. Microsoft fell 9.3 percent to $42.66 a day after the main engine of its historic earnings power - selling Windows and Office to big businesses - showed signs of waning . Declining issues outnumbered advancing ones on the NYSE by 1,726 to 1,337, for a 1.29-to-1 ratio; on the Nasdaq, 1,710 issues fell and 1,029 advanced, for a 1.66-to-1 ratio favoring decliners. The S&P 500 posted 41 new 52-week highs and 10 new lows; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 57 new highs and 49 new lows. 'U.S. equities could come under pressure as investors ratchet down their growth estimates for the U.S. economy,' said Brian Jacobsen, chief portfolio strategist at Wells Fargo Funds Management in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin. 'There was just too much hype about the U.S. economy having risen into a new and higher growth channel. We're still stumbling along.' Investors were also gearing up for a two-day Federal Reserve meeting that concludes on Wednesday. Investors will be looking for the Fed's commentary on how weak earnings and eurozone uncertainty affect the time-frame for raising interest rates. Investors widely expect the Fed to acknowledge the uncertain global outlook and stick to its promise to be patient on tightening. Yet its timetable remains for higher rates by mid-year, a trajectory that presages further broad-based gains for the dollar. Heavy machinery marker Caterpillar gave an outlook below expectations, warning that the recent plunge in oil prices would hurt its energy equipment business . Markets in Britain, France and Germany all dropped sharply as Greece's new government was on a collision course with creditors over plans to renegotiate its enormous bailout. The leftist government that came to power in Athens following elections on Sunday looks set on a collision course with the country's creditors. U.S.-traded shares of the National Bank of Greece fell 14.5 percent to $1.32. Russia was also in the spotlight after a cut to its credit rating dealt a further blow to the rouble, though by Tuesday the currency had regained some ground against the dollar. The cost of insuring exposure to Russia's debt rose after Standard & Poor's cut Russia's sovereign credit rating to 'junk' late on Monday, citing weakened economic growth prospects and Western sanctions over Ukraine. The euro rose for a second day against the dollar. The single currency climbed to $1.1369, up 1.2 percent on the day, moving further away from an 11-year low of $1.1098 hit early on Monday after it became clear that Greece had voted in a new anti-bailout government. |

Why don't the United States legalize cocaine and sell it across the counter at CVS, like they do Viagra? | 100 years ago cocaine was legal. It was not until the pure food and drug act of 1906 that made cocaine and many other drugs illegal. The pure food and drug act of 1906 was signed into law by then President Teddy Roosevelt who one morning was eating a plate of sausage while reading the controversial book by Upton Sinclair The Jungle (About the practices of the meat processing industry, which at the time had human fingers and dead mice as part of the meat products going into the market). However, the ban on cocaine in the pure food and drug act of 1906 was only amplified in 1970 by the signing of the controlled substance act. Viagra though was a different story, in 1989 Pfizer was testing a cancer drug that had a side effect of treating erectile dysfunction, and then 9 years later was remarketed as Viagra. And finally to answer the main point of your question, it is not the drug dealers fighting among each other that are the problem with the drugs. It's the crooked bankers who launder their drug money, and what you do is take George Carlin's advice and you take about 10 of these bankers every Monday Night and you nail them to crosses during the halftime show of Monday Night Football, and then you get Marlboro Cigarettes and Dow Chemicals to sponsor the whole thing, and then you talk about that drug trade really slowing down. So it's not really a matter of legalizing drugs, just more a matter of taking away the source of money laundering that these drug dealers use. |

The Russian seaport Novorossiysk lies on which body of water? | Shipping with Russia Shipping with Russia Submitted by blogger on Mon, 2014/02/17 - 12:47pm Russia is emerging as a growing nation involved in international trade. Those shippers involved in international freight shipping should take notice of Russia and their growing role in the global market. In 2012, Russia finally entered the World Trade Organization (WTO). Since then, Russia has become a top 10 trading nation with export shipping. In terms of ocean freight shipping , Novorossiysk Commercial Sea Port, located on the Black Sea, is Russia’s largest seaport. Spanning 11 different time zones, Russia’s largest ocean border is the Arctic Ocean. Very few ports are on the Arctic Ocean. The Northern Sea Route for shipping is through the Arctic Ocean, and the vessels there have to navigate through this cold and icy body of water. The lead export market and import market for Russia is the European Union. In recent years, trade between the US and Russia has developed. Trade talks emerged after the end of the Cold War. In 2012, talks between US President Obama and Russian President Medvedev improved trade. Currently, the US imports more than we export from Russia. This used to be a trade imbalance of a 4-1 deficit, and now it is getting closer to 2-1. In 2013, the US import total from Russia was $26,961,500. The export total that year was $11,164,000, which is a new record. For businesses that are interested in shipping to the expanded market of Russia, speaking to a trusted freight forwarder can help. They can provide advice and rates to help improve your shipping plans with Russia. |

How far from the center of London is London Heathrow Airport? | Summers are generally warm and sometimes hot. London's average July high is 24 °C (75.2 °F). On average London will see 31 days above 25 °C (77.0 °F) each year, and 4.2 days above 30.0 °C (86.0 °F) every year. During the 2003 European heat wave there were 14 consecutive days above 30 °C (86.0 °F) and 2 consecutive days where temperatures reached 38 °C (100.4 °F), leading to hundreds of heat related deaths. Winters are generally cool and damp with little temperature variation. Snowfall does occur from time to time, and can cause travel disruption when this happens. Spring and autumn are mixed seasons and can be pleasant. As a large city, London has a considerable urban heat island effect, making the centre of London at times 5 °C (9 °F) warmer than the suburbs and outskirts. The effect of this can be seen below when comparing London Heathrow, 15 miles west of London, with the London Weather Centre, in the city centre. |

Daisy Ridley and John Boyega achieved world-wide recognition as the two young stars in what film released December 2015? | Cele|bitchy | Harrison Ford got paid 66 times more than costars Daisy Ridley & John Boyega Harrison Ford got paid 66 times more than costars Daisy Ridley & John Boyega Daisy Ridley , Harrison Ford , Money , Star Wars SPOILERS for Star Wars: The Force Awakens. I heard this rumor before I even saw Star Wars: The Force Awakens, but I didn’t really know what to make of it. Now that I’ve seen the film … I understand. I “get” it. Apparently, Harrison Ford agreed to do The Force Awakens because Disney agreed to cut him a monster check. He reportedly earned $10-20 million for The Force Awakens, at least 66-times the paychecks given to Daisy Ridley and John Boyega. To be fair, Harrison’s involvement was key, and he has the biggest part in the film of all the “original” cast members. Plus, I felt like Harrison was the actor least interested in coming back to the franchise, which meant he got to name his price. Here’s more from Variety: With its global bow now at a record $529 million, “Star Wars’” box office success will undoubtedly afford its cast members heftier pay cuts on their next projects. But just how much money did “The Force Awakens” actors earn to join a galaxy far, far away? Sources tell Variety Harrison Ford came away the big winner on Disney and Lucasfilm’s sequel with a paycheck upwards of $10 million and as high as $20 million to reprise his role of Han Solo. On Monday, the Daily Mail issued a report saying that Ford earned a staggering $25 million to return to the “Star Wars” franchise. A Disney insider tells Variety the story is completely false and way too high but other sources did confirm that the 73-year-old actor earned a substantially larger cut than his co-stars. Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher took home salaries in the low-seven-figure range, according to sources. Newcomers John Boyega and Daisy Ridley were paid in the low-six-figure range ($100k-$300k). Adam Driver and Oscar Isaac, meanwhile, received offers of mid- to high-six figures. Because Driver and Isaac had fixed quotes from previous film and TV work, sources say their deals were negotiated higher compared to Boyega and Ridley, who, for the most part, had never appeared in a large-scale film before. Insiders tell Variety that Disney made a decision in 2014 prior to casting the new roles to create a “legacy pay scale” intended for talent like Ford, Fisher and Hamill, who had previously been a part of the “Star Wars” universe, and general pay scale for actors that would be appearing for the first time. Hamill and Fisher’s salaries are expected to rise in upcoming installments as their parts grow with each film. The salaries don’t include back-end bonuses from the pic’s box office haul that in a rare case doesn’t even kick in till the film crosses $1 billion worldwide, and following the success of “The Force Awakens,” deals are expected to be renegotiated before the next films get underway. [From Variety] Yes, I bet Harrison got closer to $20 million PLUS a backend, which would mean he will likely be taking home much more than $25 million when all is said and done. SPOILER: Variety also says that basically the whole reason Harrison signed on to do The Force Awakens was because it would be a one-and-done thing for him. His monster paycheck is basically his going-away present. The size of his paycheck also goes a long way to explaining why Harrison has been uncharacteristically happy, pleasant and playful during the promotional tour – he was being paid to shill and have fun with it (one last time). I am surprised by the other paychecks though – even though Boyega and Ridley weren’t household names when they were cast, it really does seem like the studio low-balled them to the extreme. But I believe they’ll probably be able to renegotiate for the sequels, so there’s that. And Mark Hamill got low seven-figures for THAT? And how much did Peter Mayhew/Chewbacca get?!

Have Muslims ever been conquerors or imperialists? | Most certainly... consider some of the following:\n\nOttoman Empire:\n"In the 16th and 17th centuries, the Ottoman Empire was among the world's most powerful political entities... On several occasions, the Ottoman army invaded central Europe, laying siege to Vienna in 1529 and again in 1683 in an attempt to conquer the Habsburg domain, and was finally repulsed only by great coalitions of European powers at sea and on land... \n\nOttomans: Adoption of Islam:\nBefore adopting Islam—a process that was greatly facilitated by the Abbasid victory at the 751 CE Battle of Talas, which ensured Abbasid influence in Central Asia—the Turkic peoples practised a variety of shamanism. After this battle, many of the various Turkic tribes—including the Oghuz Turks, who were the ancestors of both the Seljuks and the Ottomans—gradually converted to Islam, and brought the religion with them to Anatolia beginning in the 11th century CE...\n\nOttomans: Diversity\n...One of the successes of the Ottoman Empire was the unity that it brought about among its highly varied population. While the main reason was the military might and heavyhandedness in newly invaded territories, one other indirect source of this unity was allowed for by the laws of Islam, which stated that Muslims, Christians, and Jews—who constituted the vast majority of the Ottoman population—were all related in that they were "People of the Book" (Arabic: اهل الكتاب; ahl al-Kitâb). \n\nOttomans: Slavery\nOttomans were coming from a nomadic nation, in which slavery was very distant to the social structure. Also, from the Islamic perspective, the Kuran specifically states "everyone is same", although the practice showed differences based on cultures, which Islam and Slavery covers these perspectives, specifically Ottoman application on their domain was not approved. However, the ottomans policies were based on millet perspective which each millet had the right to govern their own domain. Trafficking in slaves is expressly forbidden by the Ottoman application of sharia, or Islamic law. For example, by the terms of the sharia, any slaves who were taken could not be kept in the status of slaves if they converted to Islam. It was, in fact, considered an insult to term an Ottoman man as a slave-master, and there were incidents in which Ottomans responded unsympathetically to any who even mentioned the idea of slavery to them.\n-------------------------------------\n-------------------------------------\n\nOther views on "Muslim Imperialism":\n\n"No single definition prevails, but here is a good one: Jihadism engages in or supports the use of force to expand the rule of Islamic law. In other words, it is violent Islamic imperialism. It stands, as one scholar put it 90 years ago, for "the extension by force of arms of the authority of the Muslim state."\n-Jonathan Rauch (www.reason.com)\n\n\nExcerpts from Islamic Imperialism: A History, by Efraim Karsh:\n\n"The birth of Islam," writes Karsh, "was inextricably linked with the creation of a world empire, and its universalism was inherently imperialist." Karsh cites, for example, the Prophet's farewell address to his followers: "I was ordered to fight all men until they say, 'There is no god but Allah.' " Muhammad, Karsh writes, spent his last decade fighting to unify Arabia under his reign; within a decade of his death, Islamic conquest had already built an Arab-Muslim empire, "one of the most remarkable examples of empire-building in world history."\n\n---------------------------\n\nMuslim Invasion of India (18th & 19th Century):\n\n"The Muslim chieftains were inviting other Islamic imperialists from across the border to come and rescue the earlier Islamic imperialists out of the morass...\n\n...On the eve of the Islamic invasion, India was witnessing a number of Hindu princes fighting among themselves for supremac |

In this period, there existed central Slavic groups and states such as the Balaton Principality, but the subsequent expansion of the Magyars, as well as the Germanisation of Austria, separated the northern and southern Slavs. The First Bulgarian Empire was founded in 681, the Slavic language Old Bulgarian became the main and official of the empire in 864. Bulgaria was instrumental in the spread of Slavic literacy and Christianity to the rest of the Slavic world. |
