Lob Wedge: Love it or hate it?
It may just be the most controversial club in the game — the dreaded or cherished "lob wedge". Tom Kite is generally credited as being one of the first tour professionals to put the 60-degree "lob wedge" into the bag for regular play. And shortly thereafter, Mr. Kite became legendary for his skills and accuracy with that club. And others followed, starting with the tour players. The popularity of the lob wedge spread quickly, as things tend to happen in golf equipment, once this visibility and dialog reached a regular pitch on TV.
I hear regularly from golfer two comments about "lob wedges". It seems golfers' opinions about this specialty club fall into two categories. Either you hate it because you never learned to master it, or you love it because you have. I got a question from a reader asking my opinion on this high-loft specialty club, so here goes.
First of all, let's define what we mean by "lob wedge". For this discussion, I'm considering lofts from 58 degrees and up, but mostly in the 58-62 range. There are higher lofted wedges available, but to me they belong in the next category, so we'll contain the discussion to those 58-62 models that are available.
The advantages of the lob wedge are that it launches the ball higher than the sand wedge, and can generate more spin if used properly. Therein lies the rub, so to speak, because these high-lofted wedges are not something you can just pick up and begin shaving strokes. They take orientation and practice to learn just what they can ... and cannot ... do for your short range scoring.
The key to solid lob wedge play is to realize that this is not really a "full swing" club, in the sense that you never want to swing our lob wedge nearly as hard as you would a mid-iron or even pitching wedge. Increased clubhead speed makes shots fly higher and with less distance consistency, and this "problem" is increased as the loft of the club increases. What you should consider a "full lob wedge" shot is really no more than 75-80% of your normal full swing power.
To hit the lob wedge, there are a few basic fundamentals you want to concentrate on. In your set-up, your stance should be narrower than a full-swing wedge shot, and feet aligned slightly left of your target line. The ball should be positioned toward the middle of your stance, so that you have a slight forward lean of the shaft from the head to your hands. Be careful when setting up this way that you do not allow the face to lay open to the target line.
The swing should be simple and "quiet", in that you don't want to allow excessive hinging of the wrists. The motion is felt in the body core rotation, and swinging of the arms, rather than the action of the hands. In the forward swing, you want to feel like you are pulling the club through the impact zone, with your body leading your arms, arms leading your hands, and hands leading the clubhead. That insures a crisp, slightly downward strike of the ball.
And let yourself swing into a nice high finish.
For those partial and half shots with the lob wedge, the same fundamentals apply, just reduce the length and force of the swing to gauge your distance.
If you have a lob wedge you hate, try these tips and see if you can't generate a little love down there at the bottom of your bag.

GolfSmith7 says:
I carry a 60 degree lob wedge and I've learned to play with it and would not take it out of my bag. I rather give up my pitching wedge if I had to.
Kurt the Knife says:
my 60 is essential. I typically spend 2-3 hours per week in my backyard practicing precision tosses here and there. Im learning how to control anything from 10 feet to 25 yds. Its an essential tool.
Kurt the Knife says:
Forgot to say I'm using Mickelson's "Secrets of the Short Game" methods.
bobhooe says:
I gave up the 60 for a 58 and am much more consistant. Might have something to do with the 60 being a stock nike cpr and the 58 being a SCOR 1" long and 2* up but who knows.
mjaber says:
Lob wedge is great out of the sand, too, when you need to get the ball up quickly and have it land softly.
I stumbled blindly into learning the flop shot by experimenting with my lob wedge.
bkuehn1952 says:
Can't say I hate it since I never have really carried one. I messed around with one a few years back around the practice green and on the range. Never felt comfortable that I could carry the ball a consistant distance whether it was 10 feet or 50 yards.
Maybe I will give it a try again this year.
legitimatebeef says:
I'm attached to the 60. I think of it as a specialty club but let's face it there are times when I want to just take a full rip with it, because it seems like the right shot for the distance and pin position. Probably I use it mostly for flop shots though, rarely hit it with any kind of square or closed face. I am sort of a maniac with this garden hoe of a club--I'll attempt just about any kind of flop shot. There's no short side too short.
GBogey says:
When I first started playing golf I was dying for a high lofted wedge. Then I read someone, I think Butch Harmon, make a comment that the 60 or 64 degree wedge was one of the worst things to ever happen in golf because it was too hard to hit for most golfers. Totally scared me so I stuck with a 56 degree for two years until I finally moved up to a 58 last year. Truly a love/hate relationship with the 58 - despite lots of practice, more really good shots than the 56, but also more sub par shots.
Duke of Hazards says:
some of my most memorable shots have come from the 60*, which I don't use very often. i recently had a short greenside bunker hole out with it (to save double) and twice last year at same course, I short sided myself on a reachable par 5, landing in fluffy rough, about 30 feet or so from the green, but with low hanging trees and a mound and bunker between me and the hole. only play was to go up and over. pulled off the towering flop over the trees both times and landed on the green. of course, I could've easily bladed the bloody hell out of either of those shots and had a much different opinion. as long as you're aware of your lie and the limitations of the club, I think it's an asset.
carv712 says:
Alot of love for the lob wedge in the comments, but what can a 60* wedge do that a 56* can't? I'm just not sure of what situation an amatuer golfer would find him/herself in that would require a lob wedge instead of a sand wedge. And with the correct bounce angle you can even open up the 56* and adjust your stance accordingly for that extra high lofted shot.
Mr_X says:
carv712 - a few years ago I would have agreed with on regarding the similarities and functionality of a 56* sand wedge and a 60* lob wedge. The greatest difference between my sand wedge and my lob wedge are not the face angle but the bounce. The increased height and depth of the bounce on a standard sand wedge is much greater than any other iron in your bag, including the lob wedge. There are many finesse shots am not as comfortable making with a SW as I am using my LW. I am a lob wedge lover!
onedollarwed says:
Yeah, you'll find much more bounce in traditional sand wedges - both in angle and in the width of the sole.
I used to do everything with a 52d wedge grew to love using one wedge for everything - varying stances, shot type, and ball position to suit the situation: greenside-chip to full swing approaches. Adding more wedges with differentiated bounces and angles helped me develop more shot types in more situations.
Now with 4 wedges with identical construction and bounce characteristics, any shot type can be played with any wedge. Now the question mostly entails marrying the shot type with the trajectory.
Shallowface says:
More bounce was the key for me in finding a useful 60 degree wedge. I've been messing with them for 30 years, and all of the early trials were with clubs with little to no bounce. In 1990, I ran across an Armour 845 "W4" with 60 degree loft and 13 degrees of bounce. It's never left the bag. If I need a soft shot from a bare lie I play it with a square face and an ultra weak grip. May not be textbook, but it's worked for me.
mmontisano says:
what can a 60 do that an opened face of a 56 can't? 60s are too hard to hit for the average amateur. even in the comments a lot of you are saying you barely use it.
it's probably me though. i never take full swings with my 52 and 56, so i just don't see the point in having one.
Banker85 says:
I love my L60* it gets used more than any of my other wedges around the green. I agree about not using as a full swing club even though i do sometimes it usually never plays out like i envision it. I like the flop if needed though that shot needs to be practiced to avoid bladeing it 30+ yards. I will close the face sometimes to hit shots that roll out more 3/4 shots from about 50 yards are great. I would give up my 52 or 56 before my 60 any day of the week.
Mr_X says:
badcaddy - if you open a sand wedge you will increase the loft. Yes, you can get the same effective loft from a SW as a LW. You can chip and pitch with either club interchangeably from 50 yards in. However, the bounce on a sand wedge comes more into play the more you lay a club open. It is difficult to make good contact a couple grooves off the bottom of a SW off a tightly mowed fairway or fringe. And you run the risk of blading a sand wedge if you open it up on a tight lie. From 20 yards and in, on any grass other than thick rough, which requires some carry I will always get better results with my 58 LW than my 55 SW.
carv712 says:
Most manufacturers offer bounce options for all wedges (LW, SW, AW...) The Wedge Guy offers several options in this department. So if you have a 56* wedge with low bounce angle than you can safely open up the face without worrying about the dreaded "bladed shot". All I'm saying is a lob wedge with a higher bounce angle (10* or 12*) would act very similarly to opening the face of a 56* wedge that has less bounce (6* for example).
onedollarwed says:
@badcaddy: You could have a 60deg with low bounce, and a "tour grind" (makes me want coffee), narrow sole or some such thing, vs. a high bounce large-soled 56deg.
I tend to love all the clubs in my bag, even the 59deg. I even carried a 64deg for a while to pop over small trees on certain courses. However, I play the ball back in my stance with wedges quite often (to get consistent contact), and can get a higher loft and more spin with a 60d than a 56deg.
I think it's been said before that: "it's how the club goes through the dirt..." etc., And I can say that every brand goes through the dirt differently based on many factors (length, flex, lie angle, loft angle, bounce, shape), never mind your technique and the ground your on and the lie you have - hope it's at least some combination of grass and dirt!
mmontisano says:
i have 2 sand wedges. 1 with low bounce for firm days, 1 with average bounce for the wet days. so depending on the conditions, i'll switch them out.
there are way too many things that you can factor in a shot, so i just decided to take one out of the equation by not having 1 more wedge. keep it simple.
larrynjr says:
Playing yesterday I had 3 different length chip/lob shots that I used 3 different clubs for. One was about 30 yds, used my 56 degree (sand wedge), stopped it about about 1' from the pin. The second was 50yds over a bunker, used my 52 degree Eidolon wedge, stopped it about 3" from the cup. Last was about 15 yds, used my 60 degree wedge, stopped about 18" from cup. I used Pro V1's yesterday for the first time this year. The inexpensive Callaways & Wilsons just won't stop quickly around the greens.
The stroke I use is an abreviated pitch. Swing back to 8 o'clock ish position then quickly accerate through the ball to a fast stop just past the ball. This pops the ball up and (with a ball that has spin) stops it quick on the green. So I like my 60!
Tim Horan says:
I bought a 64 degree a few years back. Fluffed every shot with it for six months and gave it away vowing never to venture into lob wedges again. Until... I bought a four wedge set from Eidolon. It must have been a bounce issue as I wouldn't be without my 60 degree V sole. With the double bounce it opens up a whole range of shots that were just not possible with a fixed 14 degree bounce and square heel.
Choose carefully they are very hard to judge from a range mat. Go to the second hand bucket and try a few different clubs. If you understand what you are looking at you will soon find one that suits you and then buy a similar design new.
FiddySnead says:
I love my 60* vokey. All this mumbo jumbo about it being too hard to hit is ridiculous. Grab a bucket of balls and go to town. Time and patience go a long way in golf. So do yourself a favor go out and buy a lob wedge. I rarely use mine around the green unless im extremely short sided. Usually use mine for those tricky 35-50 yard shots. A half swing with a 60* will go that far and check and stop for those pin locations at the front and middle of the greens!
Rkember says:
Love it. I have a 60Deg wedge that really saves my game on most days. ractise for at least 15 minutes every time i go to the range and feel that I have certainly not mastered it but "got the hang of it"
Shaunsmith100 says:
Hi there. I am in a bit of a pickle. I have your standard pitching wedge and sand wedge. I won myself a Cobra Tour Trusty wedge. So now I have to pick between 60 degrees or 52 (Gap Wedge)... So basically could someone advise me as to what would go the best? Should I go 60 or much lower?

America, what are you doing? I am speaking to the Democratic voters now! Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton's foundation received a donation of $100 million dollars from groups that produce blood minerals. Blood Minerals are also known as "blood diamonds" and are used to finance warlords that kill innocent men, women, and children in Africa. You can't prove to me the Clintons don't have extensive background searches on the money they get in for their foundation.
This should be the last straw in whether or not Hillary is competent and uses the best judgment to make the right decisions. We can't trust her in the White House after all of these scandals and crimes against our government. These are treasonous acts, and they have to be called out. I can't believe the media is allowing her to continue to get away with this as people are aware of these piling problems.
From The Daily Caller:
A little known Swedish-Canadian oil and mining conglomerate human rights groups have repeatedly charged produces "blood minerals" is among the Clinton Foundation's biggest donors, thanks to a $100 million pledge in 2007, a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation has found.
"Blood minerals" are related to "blood diamonds," which are allegedly mined in war zones or sold as commodities to help finance political insurgencies or despotic warlords.
When the Vancouver, Canada-based Lundin Group gave its $100 million commitment to the "Clinton Giustra Sustainable Growth Initiative," the company had long been cutting deals with warlords, Marxist rebels, military strongmen and dictatorships in the war-torn African countries of Congo, Sudan and Ethiopia.
Lundin promoted its reputation as a fierce, hard-driving company. Adolf Lundin, who founded the company, audaciously traveled to the French home of Congo dictator Mobutu Sese Seko in 1996 to secure mining rights for his company. A few years later, Lundin admitted he had offered a "donation" to Mobutu's "elections campaign," but later said he never gave the funds.
There is going to be hell to pay by many before this is all over. The average people around the world, even if defenseless, are beginning to take a firm stand against the global elites. I really doubt that there will be any place on earth for the elites that have caused so much death and destruction to hide. They have literally pissed off billions of people.
"Champion of the People" who are just dying to vote for her.

Idrees Momand told Pajhwok Afghan News police commander Mohammad Ayub Hussainkhel and one of his bodyguards were injured in the blast that ripped through a convoy.
Separately, two policemen and three civilians were injured when an explosives-rigged bicycle went off in the Faiz Mohammad Khan Square of Khost City, the capital of southeastern Khost province, police chief Brig. Gen. Sardar Mohammad Zazai said.
Public Health Director Dr. Amir Badshah Rahmatzai confirmed receiving five injured people at the Khost Civil Hospital, saying that they were in stable condition.
Witness Sardar Wali said the explosion was so powerful that it shook the area.
In southern Helmand province, one fighter was killed and four others were injured when the bomb they were carrying exploded prematurely in the Malgir area of Grishk district, the governor's spokesman said.
Daud Ahmadi said the incident took place late on Monday, when the rebels wanted to plant the explosive device on a road to target Afghan and international troops.
--Pajhwok Report
KANDAHAR: Afghan police arrested two would-be Pakistani suicide attackers in the Maiwand district of southern Kandahar province, an official said on Tuesday.
Zalmay Ayubi, the governor's spokesman, told Pajhwok Afghan News the detainees belonged to Pakistan's northwestern tribal region of Waziristan. They were brought in by Afghans.
"They planned attacks on a number of targets in Kandahar and Helmand provinces," Ayubi said, explaining the detainees' Afghan collaborators had also been arrested.
Police recovered a number of explosive materials and sensitive documents from the four people men, according to the spokesman, who claimed they had been trained in Pakistan.
KNADAHAR: Border police seized 12,000 kilograms of explosives near the Pakistani border in southern Kandahar province, an official said on Tuesday.

All the company's 26 department stores and 136 Waitrose supermarkets will remain shut all morning next Tuesday.
Staff - or partners as they are known - will be asked to come in as normal but will be allowed to watch the funeral service on television if they wish.
John Lewis is understood to be the first large retailer to announce it will be closing for the funeral.
Sir Stuart Hampson, chairman of the John Lewis Partnership, said: 'Our decision is very much in response to the wishes and feelings of our partners and we sense that our customers will consider it a fitting arrangement too.
'It is also appropriate as two of our department stores as well as Waitrose, our supermarket chain, hold Royal Warrants from the late Queen Mother. She was a very special customer.'
All department stores will open at 1pm after the service has finished. Waitrose branches will open at 2pm.

Ginko had been travelling when his friend fell dangerously ill, dangerously quickly. As the town doctor of an isolated little village Adashino had quickly gone untreated while a message was sent to find Ginko, explaining the situation. He had been so far away, so hidden within mountains and swamps, that the message never reached his hands and by the time he returned to the village what was left of his friend had been buried six feet beneath the ground.
Or at least that's what everyone told him was supposed to have happened. Children had gone missing and men and women alike would wake in the morning soaked in blood, sometimes their own, sometimes not and in the night many claimed to hear lone footsteps echoing around the streets and seeing someone moving in the collector's supposedly empty home. After a week of this all of the bodies of the dead had been exhumed for a blessing to exorcise any evil spirits and Adashino's corpse had not been found.
After hearing this story, the grieving friend could not help but feel some semblance of hope that he might be able to save Adashino and had asked the villagers to leave and camp along the shoreline for some time so that he could find his friend. When asked about what had happened to the kind, eccentric doctor, Ginko's simple explanation was that the man had been possessed by one of the creatures that he had always been so curious about.
Mushi rarely tampered with dead organisms, it was a simple fact that the creatures could not feed off of the qi of things that no longer possessed the vitality of life. The kyonshi were no exception, their hosts had to be alive in order for them to survive, though most of the time this wouldn't seem the case. Adashino had never been looked over by a doctor to verify that his corpse was, indeed, lifeless and sometimes a simple touch to the chest or neck would not find a pulse even if it was there.
So Ginko prepared eagerly for the night as he filled bowls with vinegar, found a handbell in one of the now-empty homes and a large mirror he had broken to hang the pieces from the ceiling of Adashino's home. Sitting down in the dining area of the expansive building, the white-haired man prepared himself a cup of tea and sat, waiting, for the mushi to arrive with his friend in tow.
Against his will, his mind wandered to memories, dangerous places in his past where he had spoken to his friend about things that he had not felt comfortable voicing aloud.
"You're going to live forever, why can't I do the same?"
The voice of his friend, haughty and so very spoiled, especially by Ginko himself, rang through his ears and the albino sighed as he rubbed at his turquoise eye.
"I don't want you to suffer eternity."
"It wouldn't be suffering if it meant that I never had to leave you behind."
He had been scared of telling Adashino about one of the other reasons he didn't want to give the young man eternity. In three hundred years he had survived so many harsh times, the mushi that flowed in his own blood leaving him no other option but to do so, and had loved enough to know that while men and women accepted his aid, when a mushishi took interest in their daughters – and occasionally sons when the urge struck him correctly – that he was a freak and had to be thrown out. He hadn't seen how Adashino could simply say such things aloud at the time, but he had caved after a while and promised the other man eternity.
He had promised it too late, it seemed.
"One more trip, Adashino."
"No, no time for you to change your mind."
"It's not to change my mind. I need the mushi that will do what it has done to me, to you."
He had been so happy when Ginko had left, hugging him and laughing and smiling as he let his dignity fall. When he had pulled away his monocle had been crooked and he had tried to compose himself, but his wide smile had betrayed him. That was the last time Ginko had seen him before his apparent death and burial. He had been turning over the image, the entire memory, in his mind, trying to keep himself sane with the thought that Adashino would be so happy when he was given the mushi that would grant him eternal life.
The night was still, silent, dead almost and for a few moments the mushishi was uncertain as to whether he had been correct in his assumption as to the identity of the mushi infecting his friend. When he heard the slow, rhythmic footsteps above him, however, he knew that he was right, racing up the stairs and throwing open every door before he found what he was searching for.
Adashino's skin was so pale that his skin glowed green in the moonlight, his eyes rimmed with red as if he hadn't slept in years. His long fingers had thick, curving black nails on the tips and he was dressed in a black kimono with a pattern of white cranes flying across it. The possessed man turned and Ginko stared as he limped forward, arms stretching out and fingers twitching towards the man's neck.
"Adashino." Ginko called softly. "I know you can hear me in there." A low, long groan and Adashino limped forward on stiff legs, following Ginko as the older man backed down the stairs, the possessed man pressing his palms to the wall as he dragged himself down the stairs. "That's it, come on, love, almost there."
The monster that had possessed Adashino snarled and lunged, tackling Ginko to the ground, the man's skull cracking on the hardwood floor in a painful and dizzying manner. Drool dripped from Adashino's mouth and the monster grinned, pupils dilated as he leaned down to open his mouth and let his teeth graze the pale throat of the albino.
Ginko kicked Adashino off of him, turning and racing away as the mushi possessing the doctor making him stiff and awkward. The mushishi raced into the room he had stored the supplies in, grabbing the handbell and ringing it as he picked up the bowl of vinegar. Adashino screamed, clawing at his ears as he moved onto his feet, stumbling.
"No!" The doctor wailed, looking at Ginko. "Ginko, please!"
This made the other man pause, staring at the other man as Adashino began to look more like himself. "Love?"
"Please… No…" The stiff body approached, arms outstretched. "Love, please…"
Ginko dropped the bowl, holding out his own hands to Adashino. "Come here, Adashino… I'm sorry…"
The doctor stiffly wrapped his arms around Ginko's shoulders, pressing his face to the pulse in the older man's throat. "So… Hungry…" Clawed fingers dug into shoulders and Adashino opened his mouth, unhinging his jaw so that his thick, black tongue to press to the flesh.
Ginko shoved his lover away in shock, picking up a bowl of vinegar and throwing the fluid at the monster possessing his love. Adashino shrieked, clawing at his face as the mushi seeped through his pores, dripping and evaporating on the ground as the doctor collapsed on his knees then his side, whimpering and gasping as he felt the mushi leaving his body.
Ginko knelt beside his lover's body, stroking the doctor's face and smiling when blurry brown eyes met his own gaze. "Hey, hey, how are you? Feel nauseous? Short of breath?"
Adashino groaned and shook his head, staring at the albino for a few seconds before he gently, uncertainly touched his lover's face. "No, I'm fine… Just… Tired…"
Ginko smiled and kissed the brunette, holding him close while he gently stroked the pale face of his lover. "Relax, I have you now…"
"I was so sick, Ginko… I've never been sick before…"
"You were possessed by a mushi when you were buried."
"I was buried? I was dead?"
"No, no, you weren't dead, people just thought you were."
Adashino nodded, pressing his face to Ginko's side and sighing softly. "So tired… Can we go sleep?"
"Of course." Ginko stood, lifting Adashino as he did so, carrying the younger man to the bedroom and laying their bodies down on the bed. As they sprawled on the futon, Adashino brushing away the shocked white hair from Ginko's missing eye. "I love you, Adashino."
"I love you, Ginko."
They laid like that for the rest of the night, enjoying only the heartbeats of one another as the lovers gently held one another.

Good service, decent cruise
Sail Date: January 11, 2016
Reviewed: 1 year ago
Traveled As: Couple
Room Type: Oceanview
This was a nice cruise. The ship, being a bit older, has been well maintained but still shows its age in the overall design as well as the limited offering of on board facilities. We didn't expect all that much for such an inexpensive cruise but we were pleased with the quality of the bar and entertainment venues. Our oceanview stateroom was a bit worn but mostly pleasing. The food was never bad, but it was only on rare occasion that we found something we thought was truly noteworthy. The barstaff were very pleasant and accommodating, but the dining experiences felt rushed. I will, however, say that we loved the barbecue spread on Coco Cay, as well as the island itself. We had the Ultimate drink package and that honestly was the highlight of our cruise! The different venues all have specialty cocktails which were excellent (I highly recommend everything on the Bolero's menu!) and as I mentioned, the barstaff were so friendly and welcoming! The entertainers were all fantastic, but the theater productions themselves could perhaps use an update. Overall, it was nice and definitely worth the money but look elsewhere for outstanding food or lavish accommodations.

During his Friday morning Mass, Pope Francis talked about Confession. He explained that although God never tires of forgiving, Christians should go to confession to embrace Him.
"Confessions often seem like a procedure, a formality.... And that's that. Everything is mechanical. No! Where's the encounter in all of this?"
The Pope concluded that God forgives every kind of sin, and that Christians should never get tired of asking for forgiveness.
(Source: Vatican Radio)
"First of all, God always forgives us. He never tires of this. It's we who get tired of asking for forgiveness. But HE does not tire of pardoning us. When Peter asked Jesus: 'How many times must I forgive? Seven times?' – 'Not seven times: seventy times by seven.' Namely always. That's how God forgives us: always. But if you have lived a life full of so many sins, so many bad things, but in the end, a bit repentant, you ask for forgiveness, He will immediately pardon you! He always forgives us."
"There is no sin which He won't pardon. He forgives everything. 'But father, I don't go to confession because I have committed so many really bad sins, so many that I can't be forgiven….' No, this is not true. He forgives everything. If you go (to confession) repentant, He will forgive everything. When… so many times He doesn't even let you speak! You start to ask for forgiveness and He lets you feel that joy of forgiveness before you have even finished confessing everything."
"Confessions often seem like a procedure, a formality. Everything is mechanical! No! Where's the meeting in this? The meeting with the Lord who pardons you, hugs you and rejoices. And this is our God who is so good. We too need to teach (others): teach our children, our youngsters to make a good confession, because going to confession is not like going to the dry cleaners to get a stain removed. No! It's about going to meet with our Father who reconciles, who forgives us and who rejoices."

In 2010 I came across the group Nau Sau Bai (922) which comprised of Ikka, JB and AdX. The track 'Nau Sau Bai' was their anthem and spun heads in North India. The crew at that time was being mentored by Gaurav Dayal, who is still one the most reputed, skilled and knowledgeable music dignitaries present.
Ikka has gone ahead to have an illustrious career and has been responsible for several mainstream hits. His tracks like, 'Bad Girl' and 'Tequila Shot' have played out rounds on radio, T.V, clubs and his tracks like 'Half Window Down' and 'Sheesha Down' also go ahead to prove his dexterity as an RnB artist and kill it when it comes to the urban new school mainstream sound.
During his journey Ikka has been accredited with several nick names like Ikka Singh and Mr.Haanji by his fans. One thing which cannot be hidden is that a lot of folks have doubted his ability as an emcee to spit, but Ikka successfully defends his ground with tracks like 'Sapne' in which he used lyricism as a medium to show what his dreams are made up off and the track was also featured in the first season of MTV Spoken Word. I also remember catching up with him at KRU 172's studios and having a freestyle session of sorts and let me to tell you that Ikka Singh has got BARS.
Mr.Haanji has a very diverse catalogue and has something for everyone. Looking at his discography thus far one can easily say that Ikka loves to collaborate, he has collaborated with Hardy Sandhu, Dr.Zeus, Diljit Dosanjh, JSL and many more to create some top chart busters.
It will be exciting to see what sort of a direction will Ikka take from here and what does 2017 hold for him.

Longitudinal associations between health behaviors and mental health in low-income adults

Although there are established relationships between physical and mental health, few studies have explored the relationship between health behaviors and mental health over time. To explore rates of health-compromising behaviors (HCBs) and the longitudinal relationship between HCBs and depression, anxiety, and stress, five waves of data were collected over 1 year from 482 patients at an urban public health clinic (47 % female, 68 % African-American, Mage = 28). Smoking (61 %), binge drinking (52 %), illegal drug use (53 %), unprotected sex with non-primary partners (55 %), and fast food consumption (71 %) were common, while consumption of fruits or vegetables (30 %) and breakfast (17 %) were rare. Cross-lagged models identified within-time associations between HCBs and depression/anxiety and stress. Additionally, depression/anxiety and stress predicted later HCBs, but HCBs did not predict later mental health. Results suggest that targeting mental health may be important to promoting improvements across multiple health behaviors.

There are Tory heartlands and there is Shefford, a small town in the middle of Bedfordshire, in the middle of England, at the centre of one of the safest Conservative seats on the electoral map. "There's a saying around here," says a man outside Saint Michael and All Angels church (he did not want to be named). "If you painted a cockroach blue it would get elected in Shefford."
The 13th-century market town, floating in a political sea of blue between Luton and Bedford, ought, therefore, to be a stronghold for the country's newest demographic: the "swivel-eyed loon", the term allegedly used by the Tory Party chairman, Lord Feldman, to refer to Conservative party activists in places just like this.
Lord Feldman, also the Prime Minister's tennis partner, denied using the phrase but such was the response Mr Cameron felt compelled to send a "personal note" to members, praising their "duty, decency and civic pride". Was it enough to placate Shefford's loons?
There were no eyes of any sort at the offices of the Shefford Conservative Association. Its sometime occupant, Nadine Dorries MP, was in London having been welcomed back into the Westminster jungle after her surprise turn as an I'm a Celebrity contestant briefly lost her the whip. In the same week that she suggested standing as a joint Tory-Ukip candidate in 2015, Ms Dorries tweeted her response to Lord Feldman's alleged remarks, calling his denial "almost worse than the comment itself".
Dorries' influence is clear in Shefford. Across the road, at the Chatterbox Cafe, few were minded to talk politics; residents have become wary of visitors from the press, recalling the convoy of TV news trucks that blocked the high street when Dorries turned up in the other jungle.
They were more forthright at Spitfire Travel, however. The woman behind the desk, who, again, preferred not to be named, was a life-long Tory voter whose partner has run for local office in nearby Newport Pagnell. The couple displays posters in the windows of their home during elections. Did they identify themselves as loons?
"I didn't understand what he even meant by it," the woman says. "If you get to a position like these men who are comfortable for the rest of their lives it's not surprising they don't understand what it's like."
She shared the scepticism of a large part of a fracturing Conservative Party at odds with its leader over issues such as Europe and gay marriage. Frustration around such debates in central office is reportedly what prompted the "loon" slur.
"Don't get me started on marriage," she says. "I don't worry about homosexual relationships but marriage is about procreation and Cameron is going to have big problems if he doesn't realise that." Her son is gay and in a civil partnership, she adds, but "wouldn't want to get married anyway."
A resident outside the post office suggests a man called Lewis Birt, a member of Central Bedfordshire Council, would offer the best picture of Tory grassroots. Opening his front door, the former army major in his eighties, does not hold back.
"Mr Cameron and his coterie of Eton wallahs wouldn't like to meet me face to face," he says. "They take it as a fact that we will carry on doing what we do. And we do, but when they go prettying around saying this and that I'm afraid we view them rather as naive young gentlemen."
But what would the councillor, who refers to Westminster as a "rabid mob", say this week? "I'd say, you don't know which way is up! I can't think of anyone in Government at the moment who has earned my respect. Barely any of them has known a world outside politics. That's the problem.
"Let me show you something," Mr Birt says, retrieving a piece of A4 paper on which is typed "The achievements of this Government", which he gives to residents. The following are extracts:
* EU – Another disaster, billions wasted in support of lost causes, human rights legislation ensures that this country harbours every sort of criminal known to man;
* Immigration – Another disaster and much more to come, blatant lies are put forward by this Government;
* Marriage – Finally attempting to do away with marriage ... is a travesty of what the broad mass of people in this country … desire in their lives.
The councillor concludes his unofficial party memo: "I do not think this is the best way to beat Ukip in 2015." But would he consider following his MP, who he says he admires, into a new coalition with Nigel Farage's party?
"No," he says, "because Ukip is a one-man party. I like their principles very much but that's because they are conservative principles which the funny, non-swivel eyed people have lost touch with. We cannot let that happen."Reuse content

You are seeking absolutes or assurances that cannot be given. Most claims are worded very carefully, they don't claim actual UV protection in SPF terms. Some products are only for use afterwards and we all know you cannot permanently repair dead hair.
Shea has a very low SPF of 2 or 4 or suchlike, antioxidants can help reduce one aspect of UV damage in living skin but are not deemed to have an SPF. Antioxidants would have to be applied frequently anyway because hey get 'used up' or broken down, as do all chemical sunscreen agents.
I don't see how you would apply enough of any product to get really worthwhile benefits without having hair glued to your head. IMO there is no substitute for covering the hair with a close weave hat or UV Buff, sorry.

Circle Time Inspiration
Thanks for the break, everyone. I had a busy July with lots of excitement including a learner's permit, a tenth birthday, a 39th birthday (that would be me), our 18th anniversary, a trip to the coast, a trip to the city to hear the symphony, and a homeschool convention.
And now I have Circle Time on the brain.
Want to see a terrific Circle Time Schedule for the fall? Catholic mom Tracy shares her plan in a PDF you can download and peruse.
Our fall Circle Time is beginning to take shape in my mind, too. I've had to think and pray hard about what our fall schedule should look like, as I am in the middle of uncharted territory for me with two little boys to keep busy while we work. Typically I have a wandering/babbling little person and a baby who can't go anywhere. With these two just 14 months apart, I have two wanderers/babblers. It's a whole new season!
As we move along here in August, I'd love to see your plans, too. If you're willing to share you fall plan for Circle Time, please email me (kenj at [this site's name] dot com). I'll post them for others to glean from as well.

A small but energetic and effective organization with a narrow goal of saving Yellowstone bison and a wide goal of restoring the Greater Yeklowstone Ecosystem. They use donations wisely. It's a honor to support them.
I don't believe any organization does more to ensure buffalo in the wild are being treated as they should be and in getting the word out about their plight. I have had them as my preferred charity on goodsearch/goodshop.com and smile.amazon.com for a while now. It's an effortless way to donate to this MOST worthy and noble cause every time you shop for things you need anyway. Support them - and Let the Buffalo Roam !!!
This incredible non-profit does so much with so little. Dedicated, enduring, passionate and suffering along with the buffalo, they are so impressive and so admirable and so determined. Our National Heritage buffalo/bison are the target of hunters and hunter-controlled government agencies, with even the Park Service unwilling to stand up for the defenseless buffalo who are only trying to live and survive in areas that have been their homeland since the beginning. BFC is their voice and their advocate when others are to busy to care. This is, indeed, a non-profit that walks the walk.
I have been a supporter for Buffalo Field Campaign for several years. They are a hard working group that put their actual lives on the line to watch over the national animal . the buffalo have been threatened and endangered by various props who fly over them and hassle the new young ones and mothers. It's called razing. BCF put out a monthly letter on line to help us all stay on top of what is going on out in the natural habitat of this majestic and honored creature. They strive to maintain peaceful solutions and have the backing of many fine legal services. They volunteer!!! to keep our national animal safe from two legged predators. Contact them to join in this service to the future of this fragile world and this ancient creature. Tatanka!!
My husband and I have supported Buffalo Field Campaign for years, ever since we heard about them. Their dedication to saving the remaining wild buffalo is tireless and inspiring. They communicate with the world why this needs to be done and teaches through their videos, books, webpage, social media and road shows the importance of saving our national species for future generations. Along with doing the actual work of videoing and being with the buffalo during harsh roundups and slaughter, they write books and create educational videos for adults and children alike. They have always treated their donors with respect and I know in my heart that they are the best non-profit around. Even when things get tight financially, we donate to Buffalo Field Campaign. Their work is that important to us.
Buffalo Field Campaign is a group of dedicated people who care about the buffalo living in this country, and are trying to help find them their place where they can be safe with their families and live in peace. They harm no one and just want to live their lives as do all wildlife. None should be protected over another, all should be respected by all. Special interest has no place moving and invading in places where they need not be. Please donate anything you can to help protect these magnificent animals, who are a part of our history that we should be honoring . That is what the work of BFC is all about, every single day. They need our voice and our donations to help continue their important work.
The Buffalo Field Campaign is simply the best. They are the only ones that try to protect Yellowstone buffalo from harassment and death at the hands of the National Park Service and the Montana Department of Livestock in the winter; the very same buffalo that visitors from all over the world come to see in the summer. What a crazy agenda. I love and respect the Buffalo Field Campaign for their dedication and hard work against a corrupt government system.
Words cannot express how thankful and impressed I am with the work that Buffalo Field Campaign and their volunteers do for America's wild bison. Without their work, I believe that our bison would have little or no protection against the people and government who would do them harm and run them to extinction again. I say, three cheers for Buffalo Field Campaign and a heartfelt thank you to them!
When making a visit to Yellowstone National Park in 2002 I came in contact with the Buffalo Field Campaign. After hearing there pitch and making a donation, I have made a donation every year since then as they continue their mission. I love that my donation is going straight to the actual people in the field, not to fund raisers or highly paid executives. I get their weekly newsletters and appreciate the local information when planning a new trip to the area.
The work of this fine organization comes straight from the heart. They literally are in the field -- on the ground protecting America's only remaining wild buffalo. And they share their experiences with beautiful stories and amazing photos for those of us who love and honor buffalo, but who cannot be there to serve in that way.
I am tremendous grateful for the Buffalo Field Campaign, and I hope others will learn about and support them, too.

Discussion in 'Resolved Bug Reports' started by imthebest, Jul 31, 2014.
Same user multiple times... I think it's a bug:
That's because you posted on three different profiles. Or if you're referring to Jake appearing twice, it's because you tagged him in your profile post and then posted on his profile.
Don't see this as a bug.
If I were a bad boy I could have spammed that widget easily... that's why I consider it as a bug.
It still wouldn't be a bug.
Spammers' content will get dealt with by the staff, but legitimate members should just use common sense and not post so many profile posts in a short period of time if they think it'll annoy others.
On busy forums with lots of young people this will be a problem...
Regardless, I don't see any way this could be "fixed." If all your messages had been to Jake Bunce on his profile, for example, there could have been something like "Super120 posted five messages on your Jake Bunce's profile. View All," but they weren't, and even if they had all been to him, it doesn't work that way, anyway.
That's why you have forum rules and moderators.
There's nothing to stop people from doing that right now in pre 1.4 versions. There's nothing to stop, for example, similar activity showing on the News Feed or Recent Activity. I really don't see why special measures should be put in place now.
This. The only difference now is that they are more easily visible.
Exactly. And it's even easier to moderate them, so if anything there's the solution.
That's why there's an "off" button. If it gets spammed too much, turn off the sidebar feature.
Separate names with a comma.

When Mandy Minella was told of the Wimbledon draw she may well have been asked: "The good news first, or the bad news?" The good news was that she was destined for her Centre Court bow. The bad news? Serena Williams would be on the other side of the net.
Today the Luxemburger watched Williams' first serve fizz by for an ace and lost the opening set 6-1 in 19 minutes without taking a point against serve. Minella rallied, however, to break Williams in the opening game of the second before losing the set by a respectable 6-3 margin.
This was Williams' 32nd straight victory, a run dating back to March, and underlined her billing as favourite to retain her Wimbledon crown; not that she was taking anything for granted.
"I never feel invincible," Williams said, before adding, chillingly for her rivals: "I feel like I was a little rusty today, I don't think I played my best."
It was a day of one-sided women's singles matches. The fourth seed Agnieszka Radwanska beat Yvonne Meusburger 6-1, 6-1 to join her sister Urszula in the second round. She beat Mallory Burdette 7-6, 4-6, 6-2. Li Na, the Chinese No 6 seed, eviscerated Michaella Krajicek 6-1, 6-1 while Roberta Vinci, the Italian No 11 seed, dismissed Chanelle Scheepers 6-2, 6-1. Germany's No 7 seed Angelique Kerber had to work a little harder to defeat Bethanie Mattek-Sands 6-3, 6-4, but the Australian No 14 seed Samantha Stosur thrashed Anna Schmiedlova 6-3, 6-1.
Stosur then experienced the sort of questioning many a British player has endured over the years. As the only Australian woman in the main draw – a 60-year low – she is carrying a heavy load of responsibility for a somewhat bruised sporting nation.
"I don't feel extra pressure," she said. "It's unfortunate with the history we have got in Australia with tennis. It is disappointing, but I'm sure in years to come it won't be this way."
Australian was once a tennis power, though at Wimbledon only Margaret Court (née Smith) and Evonne Cawley (née Goolagong) have won the women's title.

Cape Verde
What's the weather like in Cape Verde in March?
Cape Verde enjoys warm weather all year round thanks to its position in the North Atlantic Ocean off the west coast of North Africa. Nicknamed the 'African Caribbean', you're guaranteed loads of dry sunny weather if you're going there in March.
Climatic variances
Despite its tropical climate, Cape Verde hardly gets any rain. Some islands have more than others; popular Sal and Boa Vista are among the driest, although there's only really rain from August to October. The surrounding Atlantic means Cape Verde's cooler than mainland Africa, with sea breezes and trade winds helping to keep you comfortable. Things can get really hot inland, while the islands are mainly flat which means they're quite windy.
Sal's one of Cape Verde's most popular islands and has a normal high temperature of 25ºC in March; you'll be nice and warm in the evenings as this only drops to 19ºC at night. The average sea temperature's 22ºC and humidity's low. There's not usually any rain in March, and you can expect 12 hours of daylight with eight hours of sunshine each day. Take care in the sun as UV levels will be extreme so make sure you pack plenty of sun cream. Sunset's around 6.40pm in March.
Things to Do
Cape Verde has attractions such as the markets you'll find in places like Sal's Santa Maria, along with activities including turtle spotting and water sports; surfing, diving and windsurfing are all popular. It's Cape Verde's beaches that are the real star of the show though, head to Santa Maria on Sal's south coast, or Boa Vista's Santa Monica for spectacular white sands and crystal clear waters.

The Paxton House Historical Society will present "General E. Frank Paxton, CSA: A Brief Heroic Life" on Tuesday, January 29 at the Stone Church of the Brethren at 7:00 p.m. The church is located at Forest Avenue and 22nd Street in Buena Vista.
Francis Lynn, Historian for the society will be the speaker, assisted by the PMHS Interact Club in a power point presentation.
A Rockbridge County native, General Paxton was the personal choice of his fellow Lexington townsman, General Stonewall Jackson, to lead the famous Stonewall Brigade. After a distinguished military career, Paxton died leading the brigade at the Battle of Chancellorsville, May 2, 1863.
Elisha Franklin "Frank" Paxton lived from infancy in the Paxton House at Glen Maury until he married and began his career as a lawyer in Lexington in 1854. His birth actually took place in a very modest log house in 1828, while his father was erecting the beautiful brick mansion. The exact location of the original Elisha Paxton log house has only recently been confirmed, and Lynn will show remnants of the house.
Young Frank Paxton began his formal education at age 13 at the classical school of his cousin, Col. James Hays Paxton, at the ancestral home of the Paxton's, Mountain View (opposite Ben Salem Presbyterian Church). Entering the junior class at Washington College two years later, he graduated in 1846. He then completed a two-year graduate program at Yale, and then completed a law course at the University of Virginia, graduating first in his class at age twenty-one.
The Paxton House Historical Society intends to dedicate space at the restored house as a museum to honor its most famous resident.
The program is free and open to the public. From the Rockbridge Weekly.

Hey, the profile on us in the new LA Times gave me a chance to give credit to the guy who started Web usage at Charles Schwab. I worked there a coupla years, they were kind enough to move me to San Francisco, where I was a security architect and evangelized the Net.
Darek Milewski started running the first web server there, using the NCSA server, and the first real serious browser, Mosaic, in '94. Now, Schwab depends on all this.
He's never gotten credit for this, but in the article, Idelle does a good job:
… a colleague, Darek Milewski, now at Oracle, introduced him to the early Web and the first use of point-and-click browsers. "Even I was able to guess at the potential of the thing," he says.

Matteo Darmian is an Italian defender who plays for Premier League giants Manchester United and the Italy national team. Although aged just in his mid 20's it seems Darmian has been around at the top for many years, partially down to his first team debut with AC Milan coming before the player's 17th birthday.
Born in Legnano, Italy, Darmian joined the renowned AC Milan youth system at the tender age of 11 years old. Progressing through the academy and developing into a potential future star of the club, Darmian was prematurely called into first team action for Milan's Coppa Italia fixture against Brescia due to an injury to the long serving Kakha Kaladze. Although making an impact so early on in his career with Milan, Darmian failed to appear on the first team pitch as much as wanted and therefore searched for a new club to pose as a more integral member of the team and therefore signed for Serie A counterparts. Unfortunately signing for Palermo wouldn't offer Darmian the game time demanded which saw Darmian try his luck with his third Serie A club in the form of Torino.
His 825,000 move to Torino would prove Darmian's breakthrough step in his career as the player became an instant starter for the team, making 34 appearances in his debut season. Over the course of four seasons Darmian developed into the star he was set to become from an early age and managed to make over 150 appearances before impressing Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal enough to prompt a transfer worth �12.7 million and become part of the Dutch coach's revolution. Now a Manchester United player, Darmian hopes to continue with his progression as a player and maintain his high importance within the squad to push for league titles and European success alongside a star-studded squad.
Darmian showcased as a vital part of the Italian youth ranks having appeared for the U17's to the U21's before being included in the prestigious 23-man squad for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil. Playing and starring in Italy's three group stage fixtures, Darmian shone in the tournament which earned him the accolade of the Pallone Azzurro which indicates the best player of the national team for 2014.

Asian Markets Trading Weak On Economic Concerns
RTTNews - Asian markets are trading weak on Wednesday with investors indulging in some heavy selling on renewed concerns over the state of global economy. Notwithstanding some modest buying in select stocks, most of the markets in the region are seen struggling in the red since trading commenced this morning.
With economic reports from across the globe not turning out to be any encouraging and with earnings reports due soon, participants appear wary of picking up stocks today.
The Australian market is off its morning lows now, thanks to some positive news on the consumer confidence front. Still, the market is seen languishing in the red with several energy, materials, healthcare, industrials and utilities stocks exhibiting weakness.
The Australian benchmark S&P/ASX, which had slipped to around 3,710 earlier in the day, is currently down by 36 points at, 3731. The All Ordinaries index is trading at 3,729.5, down 38.3 points from its previous close.
Consumer confidence surged in July, hitting its highest level in about 18 months, as Australians stayed optimistic about the outlook for the domestic economy. The Westpac-Melbourne Institute index of consumer sentiment rose a seasonally adjusted 9.3% in the month to 109.4. The reading showed optimists out-numbered pessimists quite decisively, for the first time since December 2007. The index saw the second-largest monthly rise since 1974, when the survey began.
In another report, the number of finance commitments on owner-occupied houses in Australia rose 2.2% in May, seasonally adjusted, to 63,855. The data released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics said total housing finance by value rose by a seasonally adjusted 2.3% in May to A$22.678 billion.
Materials stocks BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto, Newcrest Mining, Fortescue Metals, Orica, Lihir Gold and Bluescope Steel are all trading with notable losses. Energy stocks Woodside Petroleum, Santos and Origin Energy are also trading weak.
In the banking space, ANZ Bank is up by 1.5% and National Australia Bank is gaining 1.3%. Westpac Banking Corporation and Commonwealth Bank of Australia are trading lower by 0.6% and 1% respectively. Diversified financials stock Macquarie Group is down with a 2% loss.
Evestra has signed a three-year A$280 million facility with a syndicate of five banks. The funds will be used to repay other debts and support capital spending. The firm engaged in natural gas distribution says it has also made a new arrangement with ANZ Banking to convert an undrawn working capital facility, worth A$50 million for a year, into a three-year A$75 million facility. The stock is currently down by over 2%.
In the currency market, the Australian dollar opened lower as investors turned away from riskier assets once again. In early trading this morning, the currency was quoting at US$0.7890/93, down from Tuesday's close of US$0.7958/63. The Aussie is currently trading at 0.7868 to the U.S. dollar.
The Japanese market is extending its slide to a sixth successive session today with economic concerns and a surging yen taking a toll of several front line stocks. A sharp drop in Japanese core machinery orders is also weighing in to a notable extent.
The Nikkei, which opened more than a percent down at 9,548.81, was down by 175.87 points or 1.82% at 9,471.92 at the end of the morning session.
According to a release from the Cabinet Office, Japanese core machinery orders fell a seasonally adjusted 3% month-over-month to 668.2 billion yen in May, its third straight monthly decline and the lowest figure since comparable data became available in April 1984.
Orders by the manufacturing industry grew 5.4%, while those by non-manufacturers slid 6.9%. On a year-on-year basis, core machinery orders, which exclude those for ships and from electric power companies, tumbled 38.3%. The Cabinet Office maintained its overall assessment that, The pace of decline is moderating.
According to the preliminary report on balance of payments released by the Japanese Ministry of Finance, the country's current account surplus plunged 34.3% year-on-year to 1.302 trillion yen in May. The figure declined for the 15th consecutive month with a sharp decline in exports of auto, semiconductor and electronics parts contributing to the sharp fall.
The balance of goods and services fell 52.2% to a 232.8 billion yen surplus, while the trade balance slipped 22.1% to a 387.3 billion yen surplus.The value of imports dipped 42.2% to 3.76 trillion yen, while that of exports dropped 43.9% to 3.37 trillion yen. The services balance posted a 154.5 billion yen deficit. Meanwhile, the income balance surplus fell 24.5% to 1.18 trillion yen.
Automobile stocks Toyota Motor, Hondo Motor, Suzuki Motor, Mazda Motor, Nissan Motor and Hino Motors are trading lower by 2% - 5%.
In the banking space, Sumitomo Mitsui Financial, Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Bank of Yokohama, Shizuoka Bank, Chiba Bank, Resona Holdings, Mizuho Trust & Banking and Mizuho Financial Group are all trading sharply down, losing between 2% - 6% from their previous closing prices.
According to reports, Japan's three megabanking groups are reining in their overseas lending, particularly in Europe and the U.S., amid an increase in non-performing loans owing to the global economic slowdown. The combined overseas loan balance of Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group Inc., Mizuho Financial Group Inc. and Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group Inc. totaled 31.8 trillion yen as of March 31, a decline of 2.6 trillion yen, or 8%, from the end of last September.
Non-ferrous metals are down in the red. Shares of SUMCO Corp., Sumitomo Metal Mining, Sumitomo Electric Industries, Fujikura, Mitsubishi Materials, Toyo Seikan Kaisha, Toho Zinc and Mitsui Mining and Smelting Co. are down with sharp losses.
Shares of wholesaler Mitsui & Co have rebounded after a weak start. The stock is up sharply on the back of reports that the company is planning to import large quantities of lithium from Canada. The demand for the rate metal which is used in batteries for electric and hybrid vehicles is expected to surge and the move by Mitsui is likely to help boost its earnings in forthcoming quarters. The stock is currently trading up by over 2%.
With worries about swine flu pushing down pork prices in China, shares of Japanese meat packer Yonekyu Corp. Corp. plunged sharply this morning. The company had said on Tuesday evening that its pretax profit will likely rise just 14% year on year to 5.2 billion yen for the current year through February, compared to an earlier projection of a 6.5 billion yen profit. The stock was down by around 10% at the end of the morning session.
The Korean markets is also trading sharply lower now with stocks across various sectors wilting under selling pressure. The KOSPI is currently down by around 12 points or 0.84% at 1,422.
Automobile stocks bucked the trend for a while before losing ground. Technology stocks Hynix Semiconductor, Samsung Electronics and LG Electronics are trading in the red with sharp losses.
Oil, steel, airlines and shipbuilding stocks are also exhibiting weakness. Bank stocks exhibited a mixed trend earlier in the day. However, with the mood turning quite negative, most of the stocks in the sector are seen trading lower at present.
Among other markets in the Asia-Pacific region, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Singapore are down sharply with their benchmarks losing 1.4% - 1.75%. New Zealand's NZX 50 is down by around 0.5% while Taiwan's benchmark is trading lower by 0.7%. On Tuesday, markets across the region had ended on a mixed note.
On Wall Street, stocks declined sharply with investors taking some profits amid a lack of significant economic data. Traders also preferred to tread a cautious route ahead of the earnings reporting season and the release of employment, international trade and consumer sentiment reports.
The Dow fell 161.27 points or 1.9% to 8,164, the Nasdaq closed down 41.23 points or 2.3% at 1,746, while the S&P 500 dropped by 17.69 or 2% to 881.
