Fox bets Women’s World Cup will bring attention! \| www.worldcupdebate.com - The Internet's #1 FIFA World Cup resources website!
Remember the frenzy over the U.S. Men’s National Soccer Team during the 2014 FIFA World Cup? The crowds in the streets? The viewing parties in apartments and bars? The social media explosion?
Fox Sports is betting World Cup fever will return as the U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team takes the pitch for the FIFA Women’s World Cup Canada 2015 on June 6. The network planned to use its telecast of the Daytona 500 today to launch a $10 million, 100-day promotional push for its first World Cup coverage.
The emotional ad begins with the 2-1 loss to Belgium that eliminated the men’s team last July. Images include fallen goalkeeper Tim Howard, crushed fans, crowds dispersing.
The underdog U.S. men’s team’s surprise run created a “cultural whirlwind” last summer, noted Robert Gottlieb, Fox Sports’ evp of marketing. Fox’s creative strategy is to show the torch being passed from one U.S. team to the other, he said.
Now, Fox’s “Nothing Is Over” rallying cry may sound like Rambo in First Blood, but Gottlieb and Fox “believe very strongly” the country will rally around the women’s team this summer.
Some critics will see the “America has a score to settle” line as jingoistic. But Gottlieb says it works on several fronts. For one, the U.S. women’s team hasn’t won the World Cup since 1999, when Mia Hamm and Brandi Chastain became household names. Despite ranking as the national team’s all-time leading scorer, Wambach has never won a World Cup. Other stars are burning to avenge their loss to Japan in the 2011 FIFA World Cup.
The “It’s Not Over” spot will kick off what Fox says will be the biggest network marketing push for a Women’s World Cup. There will be more TV ads focusing on individual players such as Morgan and Wambach, according to Gottlieb. Fox is planning a 30-channel media roadblock around a 30-second version of “It’s Not Over” that will air Tuesday at 8 p.m.
As soccer gains popularity within the U.S., Simon Wardle, chief strategy officer of Octagon Worldwide, believes World Cup fever will reignite when the U.S. women’s team starts play this summer.
“It’s one of the few occasions where Team USA can take on the world,” he said.
After an unexpectedly nice morning, some really dark skies brought us loud thunderclaps and brilliant rainbows late this afternoon. As today was a work day, this was the view from our office window.
We probably won’t get to Scotland in time to see the bluebells this year, so I’m watching for signs of their appearance here in Essex. I don’t think I have long to wait… Stay tuned!
The trees in the woods are covered in the green fuzz of new growth, and colour is literally popping out of the sidewalks as spring advances day by day, the weather teasing us with fierce winds one day and soft breezes the next. Today was a gentle day, perfect for enjoying little flowers in unexpected places.
Emerging markets are likely to outperform U.S. markets, witnessing stable growth against United States’ cooling economic expansion next year, a Morgan Stanley MS report predicted earlier this week. This, in turn, could make emerging market stocks more lucrative than U.S. stocks for investors.
Stocks in emerging markets (EM) may start to increase soon, Morgan Stanley’s Global Strategy Outlook report for 2019 cited. This expected rise in emerging market stocks is the reason behind the bank’s preference for these stocks over domestic stocks next year.
"We think the bear market is mostly complete for EM," Morgan Stanley said in the Nov 25 report, citing that stocks outside America will do better than their peers in the United States. The bank also upgraded emerging market stocks from underweight to overweight for next year, while downgrading U.S. stocks to underweight.
Although the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, which measures stock market performances in 23 emerging economies, slipped 16% in 2018, the bank expects it to rise 8% from its current levels by December 2019. This prediction outpaces Morgan Stanley’s estimations of 4% growth for MSCI Europe and S&P 500 indexes.
Morgan Stanley estimated the U.S. economy to slow down significantly next year, which could be the result of a key macroeconomic shift. The bank estimates this to put an end to America’s economic outperformance altogether.
Morgan Stanley expects U.S. economic growth to slow down from 2.9% estimates in 2018 to 2.3% next year and 1.9% in 2020. The dampening effect of the U.S. economy could be reflected in dollar’s performance, giving emerging economies space to shrug off huge debts that are denominated in dollar. This is a crucial factor behind emerging markets’ projected rise.
The bank deemed Chinese equities equal-weight, citing that the scenario could change based on the outlook for the trade dispute or faster easing by Chinese policy makers.
The ongoing tariff war between the United States and China could be the key macroeconomic shift, given that the issue is yet to be resolved. While President Donald Trump and his Chinese counterpart are set to meet and discuss trade next month, an affirmative outcome that could put an end to the trade war is unlikely.
Morgan Stanley listed a couple of emerging market economies that could be ideal for investments. According to the bank, India, Brazil, Indonesia, Peru, Thailand and Poland are going to outperform other emerging market nations.
In addition, the bank chose value stocks over growth stocks worldwide. Value stocks refer to those stocks that are trading at a price lower than their actual worth, while growth stocks are companies that have a lot of potential for growth.
Therefore investing in value stocks from these above-mentioned nations could be prudent in the near future.
We have hand-picked a couple of Indian and Brazilian equities that carry a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy) and have a Value Score of A or B.
Azure Power Global Ltd. AZRE is a producer and developer of solar energy and is based in New Delhi, India. The company carries a Zacks Rank #2 and has a Value Score of B. The company’s expected earnings growth rate for the next quarter is more than 100%.
National Steel Company SID is a leader of the Brazilian steel industry, and has the capacity to produce 5 million tons a year of crude steel. The company carries a Zacks Rank #2 and has a Value Score of A.
Gerdau S.A. GGB is the largest long steel producer in Latin America. The company carries a Zacks Rank #2 and has a Value Score of B.
Cosan Limited CZZ is the leading global ethanol and sugar company in terms of production with low-cost, large-scale and integrated operations in Brazil. The company carries a Zacks Rank #2 and has a Value Score of A.
On Earth Day, hundreds of thousands of scientists got together and did something scientists rarely do — they spoke with one unified voice. That voice said science is vitally important to the health of our communities, the strength of our economies, the security of our nations and the soundness of our policies, and we should increase, not cut, public investment in research.
In a group of professional skeptics, such unanimous agreement as was on display in 600 cities around the world is extremely rare, and I’m so glad some of these voices were Elsevier employees.
The message seems to have been heard on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC, where the recent budget resolution included $2 billion in additional funding for the National Institutes of Health.
It wasn't all serious business, though; we had plenty of fun. Our Cell Press colleagues in Cambridge, Massachusetts, had T-shirts printed up and a sign-making party.
After making some brilliant signs (see below), they joined the Harvard & MIT group for the march to Boston Common. One marcher of unknown affiliation was a woman, several months pregnant, who wore a shirt that read "Meiosis: results may vary."
In Washington, DC, Ann Gabriel and I marched with some colleagues from the Copyright Clearance Center who had printed stickers that read "Facts Matter." Then I set out to document the more obscure and nerdy messages on display.
In contrast to protests you may have heard about involving black-clad youth throwing bricks, this event skewed significantly towards professional scientists, not professional protestors.
Speaking of Cell Press, how cool are these t-shirts! I want one!
These folks were doing some science education about Maxwell's Equations, which explain the relationship between electricity and magnetism.
This woman brought some science data to the science march, LIKE A SCIENCE BOSS.
Of course we had to have a Pluto Truther in the crowd.
Overall, this woman best summed up the feelings of the crowd.

Two webinars will be offered this month, the first on the search of sociodemographic data and an update of the work leading up to the 2020 Census, and the second on the Institute’s applications.
Looking to expand the statistical information on a number of topics and educate about statistics and tools available to manage and access them, the Puerto Rico Institute of Statistics is hosting a series of workshops and webinars.
While the workshops requiring attendance target mainly government employees and representatives of non-governmental entities responsible for keeping statistics in their organizations, webinars can be accessed by anyone with internet access, the Institute said in a release.
The cycle started in March and runs through May.
“The Institute ‘s mission is not only to coordinate the production of statistics from data provided by government agencies, but to also make them manageable and accessible to officials and citizens,” said Orville M. Disdier, the Institute’s interim executive director.
“Our courses are aimed at promoting better use of existing data,” he said.
The workshops cover a variety of statistics-related topics, from basic to more specialized. Two webinars will be offered this month, the first on April 5th, on the search of socio-demographic data and an update of the work leading up to the 2020 Census, and the second on April 26th, on the Institute’s applications. On April 11 there will be a workshop on the Tableau Public tool for data visualization.
The pre-registration to take the courses is done through the Institute’s online registration system. The applicant will receive confirmation by email. Workshops requiring attendance will give priority to government employees working as as statisticians and nonprofit organization employees who manage statistics.

Giant (n): a person or thing of unusually great size, power, importance, etc… (adj): unusually large, great or strong; gigantic; huge.
There are going to be giants in your life. If you aren’t facing one today, you will soon. I don’t say this to bring gloom and doom but to state the reality of living in a fallen world. We can live in ignorance, hoping for a rose garden with no thornes or we can be prepared to fight the battles when they come.
The Israelites faced many difficulties in the desert (most of which were a result of their sin and disobedience) but they also faced literal giants; men that were bigger, stronger and much taller than they. In Numbers 14 the first generation of Israelites allowed these giants to defeat them, not physically but mentally. Standing at the edge of the Promised Land they could see the size of the armies they needed to defeat and they let the appearance of these great men overpower their belief in God’s promise to deliver them.
As a result, nearly an entire generation missed out on the blessings that God wanted so desperately to give them.
So what’s the solution? How do we overcome the giants in our lives? The easy to say, yet complicated to accomplish answer is prayer and faith and they must be executed in this order.
Once we know God’s plan for conquering our giant we must move forward, walking in obedience and faith.
In Exodus 14 we find the Israelites leaving Egypt, but with an entire Egyptian army hot on their tails. “And Moses said to the people, ‘Fear not, stand firm, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will work for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall never see again. The Lord will fight for you and you have only to be silent.” (Exodus 14:14). A few verses later the entire Egyptian army is drowned in the Red Sea.
Yet when we go back to Numbers 14, we hear a completely different story. The spies have just returned from scoping out the Promised Land. Caleb and Joshua bring a wonderful report of delicious fruits and fertile soil, but the other men see only the giants living in the land and work to convince the people that they are too big to be defeated. We pick up the story in verse eight, listening in on Caleb and Joshua’s side of the argument. “If the Lord delights in us, he will bring us into the land and give it to us, a land that flows with milk and honey. Only do not rebel against the Lord. And do not fear the people of the land, for they are bread to us. Their protection is removed from them, and the Lord is with us; do not fear them.” (14:8-9). But the people were not to be convinced and verse 10 says “Then all the congregation said to stone [Joshua & Caleb] with stones.” Even though the Israelites knew God’s plan was to take them into an abundant, life giving land, they refused to take that last step of faith and believe that God would again defeat their enemies (as he had done so many times in the last 40 years).
That being said, it’s time to examine where you are in the fight against the giants. Do you still need to pray for wisdom or is it time to take that step of faith and watch God fight for you? Do not fear! Get your sword and shield ready and with God in the lead, charge head first into the giants that need defeated in your life! The victory will come and when it does will you share it in the comments below? We all need the reminder and encouragement that God is still defeating giants to this day!
