The agency said the order will be […]

By JAKE COYLE AP Film Writer NEW YORK (AP) — Netflix on Monday previewed George C. Wolfe's August Wilson adaptation 'Ma Rainey's Black Bottom,' showcasing Chadwick Boseman's final performance opposite Viola Davis' powerhouse blues singer. The film, shot last year, was already one of the year's most anticipated, coming as the next chapter in Denzel Washington's ongoing project to turn Wilson's plays into films, following 2016's Oscar-winning 'Fences.' But since the unexpected death in August of 43-year-old Boseman from colon cancer, 'Ma Rainey's Black Bottom' has taken on a elegiac aura. Boseman's performance has been said to be among the […]

BY TERRY MADYAUTA FC PLATINUM gaffer Heindrikus Pieter de Jongh has bragged that Brian Banda will offer his team better attacking impetus than what they got from Last Jesi who was snapped up by Sudanese club Al Hilal. De Jongh was irked by Jesi’s departure following a short spell with the Zvishavane-based side in a loan deal from Manica Diamonds. The Dutch national believes their latest acquisition, Banda, will add quality to his side. Banda was unveiled at the club a fortnight ago as a direct replacement for Jesi who switched to Al Hilal. The dreadlocked midfielder, Jesi, had a short stint at FC Platinum, where he only featured for them in two Champions League games. 'Banda is a very good player, a box-to-box midfielder who I know will give us better service than Last who left earlier than expected. 'I believe in him because we worked together at Highlanders. With him and (Silas) Songani back in the team, I think we will do better,' he said. Songani's future, though, remains uncertain with Al Hilal reportedly still considering him. The Dutchman also revealed that they will unveil more players this week, though he refused to reveal their names. 'We are not yet done. We are going to announce some more players to our squad as we keep preparing for the Champions League.'

By MICHAEL LIEDTKE AP Technology Writer SAN RAMON, Calif. (AP) — In Google's infancy, co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin reviled Microsoft as a technological bully that ruthlessly abused its dominance of the personal computer software market to choke off competition that could spawn better products. Their disdain for Microsoft spurred Google to adopt 'Don't Be Evil' as a corporate motto that remained its moral compass during its transition from a free-wheeling startup to a publicly traded company suddenly accountable to shareholders. That pledge is now a distant memory as Google confronts an existential threat similar to what Microsoft once […]

Well-functioning stock markets enable economic growth and development by facilitating the mobilisation of financial resources and by bringing together those who need capital to innovate and grow, with those who have resources to invest. They do this within an environment that is regulated, secure and transparent Exchanges also seek to promote good corporate governance amongst their listed issuers, encouraging transparency, accountability and respect for the rights of shareholders and key stakeholders. However, despite playing a crucial role, the link between exchanges and economic development is not widely-understood or appreciated. Without stock markets, businesses would largely resort to borrowing huge loans from banks or individuals with well-oiled pockets which must be repaid with interest. Fortunately, businesses in both the developed and developing world can issue shares to the public, raising vast amounts of cash that doesn’t come along with a repayment burden (public companies are under no obligation to pay dividends, especially when they incur losses). When businesses have access to such capital, they can easily expand their operations and create more job opportunities. From a national perspective, this will lower unemployment levels, and enable a government to earn move revenue from business taxes. Stock markets provide a trading platform for governments too. Sometimes a local, state or national government may need more money to develop a community housing estate, build a water treatment plant or initiate any other public projects. Instead of increasing taxes to raise the required revenue, it can issue bonds through the stock market. When investors buy these bonds, the government is able to raise the money it needs to launch various projects that can ease the cost of living or even create jobs for locals. In the long run, this improves the economy. Investments, whether in the financial markets or product markets (agriculture, real estate, manufacturing etc.), are a key driver for economic trade, growth and prosperity. As governments focus on creating policies like lowering interest rates that promote a culture of investment, stock markets are gaining prominence as a top destination for investors. Increasingly, more people are looking to invest in companies with growth potential. You don’t have to look further than Warren Buffet, one of the richest men of our times, to know that stocks create billionaires. For investors, stock markets are huge auction houses. Every day, investors are buying and selling their shares. This makes securities a liquid investment. When investors want to exit an investment, it is quick and easy to find a buyer. Other assets are much more difficult to sell. If you invest in an investment property, it could take time to find a buyer and get your money out. With securities, investors can find a buyer the very day. C-TRADE comes handy for investors who wish to exit as they are given the option of exiting whenever they want to. Given that the price of securities fluctuates up and down d
