The new season of Gomora has been living up to its promise to keep viewers entertained and has kept many locked to their television screens weekdays at 19h30 on Mzansi Magic. We're seeing a continuation of storylines that have captivated fans from the first season and some interesting characters have come to the forefront. The latest being, Sibongile – Teddy's half-sister who came from nowhere.
She made a grand entrance after Don introduced her as Teddy's sister from his previous relationship. This has infuriated Zodwa and brought back old wounds. She can't seem to forgive Don for leaving her while she was pregnant with Teddy for another woman and now that his life has come to a standstill, he wants to come back into her life and complicate her relationship with Bongani.
The character of Sibongile is played by a new kid on the block Nandipha Khubone. Check out some interesting facts about the actress below.
A post shared by Nandipa (@nandi.khubone)
The actress' real name is Nandipha Khubone
Her Real Age
In the drama, she plays a high school teen but she is a bit older in real life. She recently celebrated her 21st birthday. "21 is about to be the greatest chapter yet. Thank you for the wishes," she said on social media.
She Is Family Orientated
Sibongile might be a spoilt brat but Nandipha is much different in real life. She is reserved and loves spending time with her family. She is also very fond of her siblings.
She Is From LA
The actress has spent some time in America sharpening her acting skills. She studied at NYFA, Los Angeles.
Another actor shaking things up in the drama is Israel Zulu. His character, Don Buthelezi, has turned Zodwa's life upside down after being away for 19 years.
Chatting to Daily Sun recently, Zulu opened up about his new role.
"I'll be playing Don. He had a relationship with Zodwa, played by Sannah Mchunu, and they had Teddy. He dumped Zodwa for a rich woman and went to live in mansions. Unfortunately, the woman recently died," he said.
"Now he's down and out as the wife's family took everything and he has returned to Alex. He'll come back with his daughter Sibongile. Don will also be competition for Mam'Sonto, played by Connie Chiume.
"He struggles a lot after returning and ends up getting into hijacking. Soon he starts taking over Sonto's operations," he said, adding that people will love him and his sense of humour. Don is coming to take over but people will love him because he's funny. There will be sadness, sorrow, action and more importantly, drama."

Indications of Alzheimer's disease
The symptoms associated with dementia, irrespective of the type of dementia suffered, are similar which may cause some delay in receiving a definitive diagnosis.
In those small number of cases where diagnosis cannot be confirmed by genetic or psychological testing, Alzheimer's disease may only be confirmed at post mortem. Memory loss, in particular loss of short term memory, is the key symptom intrinsic to all dementias including the dementia associated with Alzheimer's disease. However, while there may be overlap in symptoms between the different dementias, the causes of respective disorders are likely to be different.
Indications of Alzheimer's
Indications of the disease vary from person to person but generally they will include:
an inability to recall names;
a lack of concentration;
a poor sense of time;
difficulty in word finding, and perceiving and understanding the environment.
Emotional changes are commonly observed, such as mood swings and emotional upsets leading to tearfulness or aggressive outbursts.
Such symptoms may increase in severity or additional symptoms may be experienced, such as
disorientation in time and space,
inappropriate behaviour,
false accusations, repetitive questioning and more generally,
an inability to perform routine, everyday tasks.
For those people who become self-neglectful or who wander, there is the need for constant supervision.
Although Alzheimer's disease most commonly occurs in people aged over 65 years, it can affect individuals in their 20's and 30's. Loss of memoryis the symptom most commonly associated with the disease, but this may also be attributed to the normal aging process. The diagnosis may be further missed as there is no set age of onset of Alzheimer's disease or rate of decline, and this is particularly relevant when diagnosing Alzheimer's disease in young people. However, becoming increasingly muddled, losing objects, loss of interest in food, hobbies and friends and, generally withdrawing from the world may be indicators of a more insidious degenerative process.
Alzheimer's disease may be confirmed through a range of different tests undertaken in Memory Clinics.
In some cases, deterioration may be sudden and obvious to the person and to those around them. However, sometimes the loss of cognitive ability may be more gradual. This may cause the person affected to become anxious and secretively worried about their loss of mental sharpness, as a result of which, others may note an increase in irritability and withdrawal from day-to-day events.
Alzheimer's patients may live for up to as many as 15 years post-diagnosis during which time they may experience language difficulties, depression, paranoia, aggressive outbursts, delusions and hallucinations (referred to as psychotic symptoms). While not all individuals will suffer these problems, personality loss and dependency are observed as end stages of the disease. It is therefore important that care and management of the Alzheimer's sufferer is discussed and planned, not only with the individual himself, but also together with the family before the disease has entered its advanced stages.
It is important to note that some symptoms may be associated with other neurological disorders, such as brain tumours, transient ischaemic attacks (TIAs) or mini-strokes; concussion; alcohol-induced amnesia or other factors. As with any illness or disease, symptoms should be promptly and thoroughly investigated.
If you think you, a relative or a friend may be suffering from Alzheimer's disease we recommend that you monitor and record the symptoms experienced and then seek medical advice.

Brno Sports Weekly Report — Zbrojovka Controls Its Fate for Promotion Opportunity
Bruno Zalubil May 15, 2019 Brno Sports Weekly Report — Zbrojovka Controls Its Fate for Promotion Opportunity2019-05-15T10:00:19+00:00 Sport
Zbrojovka fans have one more regular season game on Saturday. They hope for one more and a chance at promotion back to the top league. Photo credit: Bruno Zalubil.
Brno, May 15 (BD) — Second-place Draci host first-place Arrows tonight at 7; Lokomotiva hopes to get past loss when it hosts Dukla Saturday; Brno Cricket Club wins second in a row; Both Sígrs and Alligators play at home this weekend; and the Brno sports results and schedule.
MEN'S FOOTBALL
Zbrojovka Has Control With Two Games Left
For fans not able to attend the FC Zbrojovka game at FC Vítkovice last Saturday, the @Zbrojovka Twitter account proved invaluable — and it provided a nice soundtrack to the game: Ding, Ding, Ding.
The game — a vital one in the fight for promotion — started with a lot of action. Peter Štepanovský of Zbrojovka scrored at 3 minutes; Vitkovice scored at 5 minutes; then Štepanovský and Zbrojovka scored again at 7 minutes. Ding, Ding, Ding.
Eventually the fast-action rollercoaster ride settled and Zbrojovka won, 4-2, and maintained its position in third place in the Fortuna:Narodni Liga.
Zbrojovka (15-6-7, 51 points) has two games left and controls its own fate. Their final regular-season home game is against eighth-place Třinec (10-6-12, 36) on Saturday at 3 p.m. They finish the regular season at second-place Jihlava (16-7-5, 55) on May 25.
If Zbrojovka can maintain at least third place, they will have a chance to advance into the Fortuna:Liga next season, if they can win a home-and-away series against a low-level team from that upper league. Fourth place would mean a second year in the second league.
FC Hradec Králové (14-7-7, 49) is lurking just two points back, hoping for a Zbrojovka slip up.
Štepanovský, who scored both goals in the win over Hradec Králové on national television on May 7, had a run of four goals in a row with the two quick goals on Saturday. He has eight goals during this spring half of the season and 11 overall, which is even with captain Lukáš Magera for the team lead and second best in the league.
Zbrojovaka has 52 goals this season, two behind league leaders SK Dynamo Č. Budějovice (21-3-4, 66).
Draci host Arrows Tonight at 7
Though the weather is not yet baseball-ish, the Czech extraliga is heating up.
Perennial champion Draci Brno are not at their customary top-of-the-standings position. Instead, the Draci (19-4) are a game behind the team that surprised them for the title last fall, Arrows Ostrava (20-3).
Those two teams will meet tonight (Wednesday) at MBS in south Brno. First pitch is 7 p.m. It will be the third time the Draci and Arrows will have met this season; they split the first two games.
Tomorrow (Thursday), Draci travel across town to play Cardion Hroši Brno (10-11, tied for fourth place) at 5 p.m.
Technika Brno (2-19) is last in the standings.
Lokomotiva Needs to Shake Off Tough Loss
FC Lokomotiva-Horni Herspice took a step backwards when they struggled against visiting FC Viktoria Plzeň last Saturday, but their 0-5 loss is not the end of the season.
Lokomotiva is halfway through the Playout bracket of the country's top women's football league. In their first run through other three teams, they have two points from 1-1 ties at FK Dukla Praha and FC Hradec Králové. The 0-5 home loss to Plzeň is their worst of the season, besides games against the dominant Sparta and Slavia teams.
In any case, Lokomotiva has a four-point lead over last-place FC Hradec Králové, which lost 4-0 at Dukla on Saturday, with three games remaining. The last-place team will be relegated to the second league.
The Lokomotiva junior team just won the Czech Cup for its division, so staying in the top league would be an important boost for the future of the organization.
Lokomotiva plays twice more at home: next week against FK Dukla Praha on Saturday at 10:30 a.m. and against FC Hradec Králové on June 1 at 11 a.m.
Brno Cricket Logs Another Win
The Brno Cricket Club won its second match of the T20 season when it beat Vinohrady Cricket Club last Saturday in north Brno.
Brno was 94-4, from 16.3 overs. Rohit Ogale had 29 runs. Vinohrady had gone 93-8 from 20 overs.
The Brno Cricket Club (2-1) is officially at the top of the standings, although it has the same record as Prague CC and Prague Barbarians CC Vandals.
Brno will next play at home on May 25 when it welcomes Prague Barbarians CC Vandals. The match begins at 3 p.m.
Weekend Double-Header for Brno American Football
Both Brno teams will play home games this weekend: the Brno Sígrs host the Ústí nad Labem Blades on Saturday at 3 p.m. and the Brno Alligators will host the Aquaponik Ostrava Steelers on Sunday at 2 p.m.
The Sígrs (2-3) were shutout last weekend at Ostrava, 16-0. The Alligators (0-5) have been outscored by more than a hundred points so far this season.

Black Lightning exits The CW's superhero lineup with a busy, unremarkable finale

Kyle Fowle
After its intimate, personal first season, Black Lightning faced a bit of a conundrum. Where the first season was able to focus mostly on Jefferson's conflicted feelings about donning the Black Lightning costume again, and what his role in vigilante justice should be, the story couldn't stop there. It couldn't be contained. Of course Jefferson would become a superhero again, and therefore the story and this world must build and expand.
In that expansion, something was lost. The first season of Black Lightning worked so well because of the lack of world building. Rather than sending the story out in a bunch of different directions, the show kept things simple, and delivered a season propelled by well thought out character motivations. It didn't reinvent the superhero wheel, but it did offer up a refreshing perspective.
As the world built out and evil governments (both foreign and domestic), undead villains, and mentions of Civil War raised the stakes to something closer to the grandiose, city-destroying ones we're used to when we go to the theater, Black Lightning lost its character-focused touch. The show had to grow out of necessity, sure, but that doesn't mean we can't acknowledge the loss.
The show had its moments across seasons two and three, but the foundation was cracking under the pressure, and the fourth and final season has seen some of the shakiest, and least consequential, storytelling yet. There have been "Moments," ones meant to convey moral dilemma and inner struggle. There have been mysteries and cliffhangers and political intrigue. But none of it has ever really coalesced into something meaningful or impactful.
ReviewsBlack Lightning
"The Book Of Resurrection: Chapter Two: Closure"
That's especially clear throughout the series finale, which is largely made up of endless exposition and not much else. The first half of this episode is nearly all setup and talking, with scene after scene of characters explaining what's happening and what they need to do rather than, you know, actually doing those things. We listen to Lynn dump information about needing to find Tobias but also needing to get to the emitter to get meta powers back all while everyone debates how best to move on now that Jefferson is "dead."
It's rather maddening to watch unfold. I know this show was dealt a tough hand with cancellation (and The CW choosing not to move forward with the Painkiller spin-off), but still, there's just no urgency here. There's no stakes, or at least none that feel more than your average, generic "we need to save our city" type of stuff. Every bit of action here is predictable, and it feels like the show is just going through the motions without really trying to engage us in any way.
It's really a shame, because Black Lightning has had more than its fair share of great moments and story arcs, and it probably deserved more time to tell more stories, but external circumstances doesn't stop the series finale from feeling like a dud. I'm not entirely sure what we're supposed to connect with here? Jennifer coming back is a neat moment, as is the way the show tied Jefferson's killing of Tobias to the very first time he used his powers to kill someone when he was younger, but otherwise this all feels very anticlimactic. The raid to destroy the emitter is executed with little flair, everything involving Lopez and Shakur is a waste of airtime, and keeping your protagonist locked underground in a coffin for most of the episode is certainly a strange choice.
With that said, more strange choices might have been preferable to what this series finale ended up offering. This is one of the tidiest, conflict-free endings to a show I've ever seen. I don't even mind some of the stale elements, like Lynn and Jefferson deciding to get remarried, or the "passing of the torch" moment at the end of the episode, but I wish everything that came before that final family scene was more compelling, more adventurous and complicated, like the show has been in the past.
Ultimately, I think Black Lightning simply got to a point where there wasn't much left to tell in any interesting way. Sure, the show could have kept going—oddly enough, Lala gets the final line of the series, coming back from the dead (again) to laugh at the impaled body of Tobias—but this whole season has been defined by the show struggling to find new ways to capture the energy it used to have. As Jefferson now knows, you have to let go of the past in order to keep moving forward. It's just a shame that while letting go of the past Black Lightning couldn't find another a more meaningful path for itself.

My Writings! – Page 2 – Live Life To The Fullest!
An experience that i had recently really made me think on how corrupted the system is. Who said corruption is when money changes hands? For me corruption is also when you do not provide the necessary value to the work performed by others. At a school function recently, where i presided as the chief guest, the school founder and the other 'dignitaries' spoke at length about how they are paying attention to the kids and their needs. How money is spent is in the favour of the children and the progress that they are making.
Is there really progress as per the investments made? If the system is really spending the amounts cited, why do we not see any significant progress and usually such schools take a back seat when it comes to admissions?
You ask the kids what they want to become when they grow up – the answers were carpenter, cab driver, florist. It is not that these professions are wrong it is just that the vision of the kids is already so limited in terms of what is possible. If you aren't teaching the kids to dream and achieve big, at least let us stop resorting them to mediocrity. Instead of talking about money and painting their image as helpless beneficiaries, the people in power can talk about how kids can aspire – attempt – achieve!
So what was the corruption i saw? The poor kids had spent close to a fortnight in coming up with the performances. All decked up in their special costumes, they were a wonderful sight and the performances that followed were truly awesome. The other chief guests, and the principal, however, thought it opportune to leave just after the initial performance. Was it some really an urgent meeting – certainly not, by the looks of tea/coffee consumed and the sound of laughter from the principal's room. Even i was asked to join them, citing "Let the kids just do their performances, we will come back in the end when it is time for prizes". I refused.
When the performances were going to be over, one of the coordinators went to call them, only to return with the reply "Make the kids repeat their performances, should be another hour. We will be back by then". Appalled by the insensitivity demonstrated, we did what was right – went ahead with the prize & certificate distribution ceremony without the 'dignitaries'!
So, what are we teaching the kids?
Are we walking the talk? No!
Not Crying – Is this really a Sign of Strength!
Not crying – Is this really a symbol of strength?
During one of my sessions, I asked a 22 year old lady, "what is your biggest strength?" She replied that she never cries. On that, I asked her when was the last time she cried, and I got to know that it was some three years back.
I was amused at the misplaced definition of strength!
Men don't cry, this is what is drilled into the minds of common people such that crying becomes synonymous to weakness. People who shed their tears are looked up as if they have shed valour and strength. It's not only boys, but even girls have taken on this highly misplaced notion. The very nature of human when deeply troubled, when faced with a need to let off bottled emotions is to cry. As babies, we wailed our hearts out for milk, for attention, for love, for comfort, for expressing ourselves and for releasing our emotions.
Meditation, exercise, hobbies, they are all said to be great channels for letting go of negativity and negative emotions. But the lightness of heart that one feels after shedding a few tears can never be compared with. Crying for me is a ritual to let go. The emotion I feel is my sacrifice and the tears that I shed are my offering as a mark of respect for an event or a person while kissing them goodbye.
Crying is like bidding a fond farewell to the event or to the person, never to see again.. while cutting off the last of the strings that bond us. I cry at happy endings in movies, I cry after a life changing experience, I cry when i read amazing lines from authors, I cry when I achieve after my hard work, I cry at the love and affection that I get from my dearest, I cry from physical pains. An expression of love, a purge of the unnecessary emotions and a wonderful component of empathy – crying is all this and much more!
Imagine if everyone displayed their emotions instead of bottling it up – there would be no more outbursts, no more hatred and pent-up anger – would make the world a much better place!
Anybody can bottle up their feelings, it takes courage to cry, driven by the strength and will power to let go.
While driving down from the ghat section near Jog falls, the road is narrow such that only one vehicle can pass without the other giving way.
At the wheel was the father, next to him was his wife and their son was sitting on the wife's lap. Despite the narrow road, this guy was continuously honking. If it was an attempt to make us deaf, he would have almost succeeded if we had not given him the way and parked ourselves on the side off-road.
This was the educated illiterate person!
So what are you teaching your kids? That by irritating others and pushing them to the brink, you can have your way!
Let Children live the way we did!
This evening I saw placards in the hands of kids instead of crackers. The placards had the messages like 'Save Earth', 'Don't burst crackers'.
At this rate, the only childhood memory that kids will have is spending time on their phones and tablets!
Not fair – we, the grown-ups have ruined the earth for them and we expect them to take the so called 'corrective steps'. Will all of us stop using our cars, will we stop using leather, will we stop consuming or working for these global brands that are polluting our ground waters – no, right!
Just one day in the year when we get to burst crackers, and it is a no-no citing 'saving the earth'! What about the torture reaped on mother earth on the other 364 days!
Already mithai has been replaced by chocolates, motherly love by so called 'Aaya's' love, lighting lamps replaced by switching on bulbs or candles, rituals replaced by lethargy.
So what is left to take away from them? What experiences are we leaving for our kids? We are literally snatching the essence of childhood from them!
And said, "punch this as hard as you can"!
I cautioned him about wearing a training glove, but he said – Nah! Not required!
Every time I view the Wonderful nature, I get amazed by its beauty!
Every time I admire something in the nature, I realize to protect it, is my responsibility!
Every time I open my arms and close my eyes, I feel something nice!
Every time I see Nature's galore, I ponder there is so much to explore!

This introduction to Christian mindfulness offers a brief explanation of contemporary mindfulness combined with a practical guide to mindfulness as a way of Christian living.
It considers the mindfulness of God and Christ as explored by some of the great Christian thinkers and writers, such as Francis of Assisi, Teresa of Avila, Brother Lawrence and Pierre de Caussade, whose insights are discussed.
It serves as a companion to beginning the practise of Christian mindfulness techniques. Over forty days, examples of mindfulness in the Old and New Testaments are examined, followed by an introduction to classic Christian writings on the techniques of mindful prayer. Each section contains a practical suggestion for incorporating mindfulness practises into everyday life.
Also explored are aspects of mindfulness as they are manifested in the practise of pilgrimage, with suggestions as to how they can be incorporated into a personal physical and spiritual journey.


I've finally released jslint4java 2.0.0. It's now available at code.google.com/p/jslint4java. The main new feature is that it now sports a maven plugin in addition to the ant task.
There is also a breaking change, that's been inherited from JSLint. The meaning of several options has been inverted. Now, the default is to behave strictly, with options turned off. For example, if you want to turn off JSLint's checking of whitespace, you now have to specify --white. Previously, this would enable checking of whitespace. See the release notes for details, and please take care when updating.
I'd love feedback on how well this works.
I have a problem in using a .js file which is in the UTF-8 Encoding format. If i save the same file to ANSI it's works fine.
I have tried the –encoding UTF-8 argument and it doesn't help me.
If i have missed out anything specific, kindly point out to me and help me.
What's the first line of the file? Does it have a BOM?
Really excited about integrating jslint4java into my build, but it looks like I need to wait for jslint4java-2.0.1 since I'm using an older version of maven (2.2.1). Can we expect the 2.0.1 version of the maven plugin to be released in the next few weeks? Thanks!

If this ale is any indication, brewers are backing away from the uber brew offerings of the past. Smooth and balanced best describe Alaskan's Winter Ale. Spruce tips are added to the wort, and you can smell them (along with light citrusy hops) more than taste them. This dark-amber delight is off-dry in style, filled with caramel-laced malt but with ample hop bitterness. A buttery touch of clove on the finish adds interest. A tasty brew? You betcha.
Last year's offering was too sweet for me, making this year's version a very pleasant surprise. Again, balance is the key word. Nice resin- and citrus-laced hops come through on the nose along with a smooth hit of nutmeg. The brew offers a wide range of flavors including toffee, nutmeg, orange zest and cinnamon along with light touches of hazelnut and raisin. It's all balanced by floral hops and the finish is clean and dry. A great choice for the transition from cooler fall to colder winter.
When I asked Matt the Beer Guy what his three favorite winter releases were, he said, "Celebration, Celebration and Celebration." I concur. Year in and year out this is my favorite, more for what it isn't (over-the-top malt) than for anything else. It is a fine ale that just happens to be a seasonal. But if you don't like hops, this one is not for you—they are big and bouncy throughout, playing against bright citrus and soft malt. This one isn't necessarily the best winter brew out there (tastes differ), just my top choice to date.

Q: Docker container killed with exit code 137 continued to increasingly consume disk space one of my docker containers was killed with Exit code 137. So I ran another container of same image and did not prune the older, stopped container. However, it was increasingly consuming disk space as observed in overlay2 directory until docker ran out of disk space. Removing the stopped container solved the issue. What can the reason for this?

A: Each started container occupies some disk space (stored layers and logs).
You can inspect the disk spaced used per container with the following command:
docker ps -s
EDIT: if you run the same image more then once, the disk space is used also once, but for every change/build one or more layers are created and stored on the disk

7. Kingdom of Atismata from Saijaku Muhai no Bahamut
The old empire of Arcadia was destroyed in a coup five years ago, and from there arose the new kingdom of Atismata. The revolt began with internal conflicts, where Lux Arcadia was deceived by his older brother Fugil, not being able to reason with his father, the emperor of Arcadia, about the suffering of the people; but Fugil betrays Lux, killing the emperor and the imperial court, leaving Lux and Airi to carry the debt to the new kingdom of Atismata.
Atismata is currently ruled by the new queen Raffi Atismata, after her brother, Count Atismata, the hero who led the coup against the ancient Arcadia empire, died. Raffi's niece, Lisesharte Atismata, becomes the princess of the new kingdom because Raffi has no children.

The kingdom also has to the south a group of islands called Yuris, where species of blue and green birds inhabit that are trained by means of the walnut stone.
Prince Zen intervened between the inhabitants and Lord / Viscount Becker, owner of Yuris, to consider the birds as a messaging system for the kingdom, making the test of reaching from the castle to the tower of the lake to the west, and when achieving it the birds are put in protection. The kingdom of Clarines is respected by the neighboring kingdoms, that is why the prince of the kingdom of Tamburn, Raj, feared for his life when he learned that the one he poisoned by mistake was Zen.

Design: shopping site for an online accessory seller. Rena the owner wanted a classy, clean, easy to navigate site that showcased her line of hand bags, lingerie, jewelry and essential oils.
Details: Site was built in WordPress with WooCommerce shopping installed. The client is extremely happy with how the website looks and functions in all devices. However, when building website looks aren't everything so I added SEO and Conversion tactics to the site, this involves my vast amount of research, coding, and expertise that I have garnered over the past 15 years.
SECURE: HTTPS: Site is secure, you can tell that from the https at the beginning of the URL – all online stores need this SSL certificate to protect shoppers credit card info. Also, Google is pushing for ALL WEBSITES to have https and is demoting sites without it in its Google search results.
POPUP: I added a Sign-Up popup to the site, so that visitors can sign up for her newsletter. I disabled this popup on mobile devices because as of January, 2017, Google is penalizing websites that show these distracting popups in phones, that are hard to click out of.
Getting visitors to join your tribe/fan base by signing up for emails and following you on social media is extremely important for SEO and to spread the word! Word of mouth marketing is very powerful!
HOST: Site is hosted with SiteGround I use them because their customer service is top rate and they have great rates and fast servers. Google penalizes site that are slow!

Equities: Momentum Continues
Equities 8 minutes to read
Australian Market Strategist
Summary: We ended the year with a bullish bias on equities (not the real economy) based on the recession of risks on the geopolitical front and huge amounts of liquidity being thrown at the market by central banks. Equities have continued to march higher and overnight the S&P 500 closed at another record high.
But what to expect after a year of 30% returns - expensive markets and stretched valuations! Momentum is strong and presents further upside for risk assets throughout Q1 2020.
Further into the year, the key test will then be whether reality is in line with market expectations. Will green shoots actually translate into a return to trend growth, and will the narrative of receding geopolitical risks be maintained. We are sceptical on both fronts.
The prior year's gains have been driven almost exclusively by multiple expansion, and a recovery in earnings is already priced. This leaves the market frothy and somewhat vulnerable to shocks and there are plenty of catalysts for potential drawdown, geopolitical, economic, policy or otherwise. But for long term investors, these headwinds should not deter. With liquidity being pumped and low yields forcing risk seeking behaviour, dip buyers are there on the sidelines ready to step in as valuations correct which lends an underlying support to global markets. Monetary policymakers have already exhibited their willingness to intervene with added stimulus measures in an attempt to extend the cycle, so, for as long as investors feel like central banks have their back and policy rates remain low there will be upside for equities.
Monetary policy remains a powerful determinant of asset prices, and as we progress through the year, continued central bank liquidity injections will lend underlying support to equity markets. Record low interest rates also tempt investors up the risk spectrum and feed into valuation models, justifying higher multiples, and fuelling asset price inflation. A dynamic set to continue throughout the year ahead. Obviously the inability of such policies to produce a self-sustaining revival in growth, without stoking record wealth inequality, social unrest, and global political risk is a problem for another day.
In other news, this week the long awaited Phase 1 trade deal is set to be signed, although no one has seen the text yet! A lot of the positivity has already been priced and so we question how much further markets can rally on trade optimism, its seemingly endless. At any rate attention has shifted to primary drivers being earnings and central banks accommodation anyway. The risks really lie on the downside if the deal is perhaps more watered down than expected, or there is room for China to backtrack on promises easily. Something they have a long history in doing. Considering how difficult it was to get to this phase one deal, nobody should expect a phase two deal any time soon – if ever. Even Trump himself acknowledges phase 2 is unlikely to come before elections. Which means tariffs are likely to remain at current levels, bar the small rollback included in this phase 1 deal.
Will talks breakdown again? The election will be won on a strong economy and Trump sees the stock market as a real time indicator of that, but being tough on China also appeals to not only Trumps base but a bipartisan audience so it's going to be a balancing act. The risk of tariff hikes in election year is reduced, but China have a reputation of failing to deliver on prior promises which is why enforcement was such a big issue during these negotiations. If China do not comply with the agreement set to be signed Wednesday, Trump has free reign to impose additional tariffs. There are some ambitious purchase commitments included in the deal, so there is plenty of scope for failing to meet them.
The deal by no means, means the stand-off is over. A lot of the more deep rooted issues have been left for phase 2 negotiations and whatever deal is signed between the 2 sides there is an ongoing bifurcation as it relates to technology well under way. Many Chinese companies remain blacklisted by the US Commerce department, and these efforts will be ongoing regardless of the present truce. Meanwhile Beijing are removing foreign computer equipment and software from government offices and public institutions and continue to increase self-reliance. On the technology battleground, you can't get more specific sign of disengagement than this.
Yes, the University of Michigan consumer confidence survey slightly undershot expectations. But the US consumer is still relatively strong.

Supplement Labels Spark Controversy for Major Retailers
This entry was posted on February 15, 2015	by	Lightning Labels	.
Retailers in Hot Water Over Supplement Labels Accuracy is an important element of all product labels, but it is especially critical with regard to the packaging of items intended for human consumption, such as food, beverages and nutraceuticals.
It's the last category that has presented some trouble for four big-name retailers: Target, GNC, Walgreens and Walmart. As The New York Times reported, the New York State Attorney General's Office recently sent cease-and-desist letters to the quartet, demanding that they stop selling a number of their dietary supplements. Why? A series of tests conducted by the AG's office revealed that some of the supplements were missing contents listed on their labels, while many also included undeclared allergens.
"Contamination, substitution and falsely labeling herbal products constitute deceptive business practices and, more importantly, present considerable health risks for consumers," the letters stated, as quoted by the news source.
An 'Unbelievably Devastating' Revelation The testing found that Walgreens-brand ginseng pills actually contained only powdered garlic and rice, while Walmart's ginkgo biloba was determined to be primarily composed of powdered radish, houseplants and wheat. To add insult to injury, the label on the latter product claimed the pills were wheat- and gluten-free, effectively reassuring people allergic to wheat and gluten that they were safe to ingest.
Moreover, although Target's ginkgo biloba, valerian root and St. John's wort didn't contain the herbs on their labels, the testing revealed the presence of powdered legumes, a class of known allergens not included on the supplements' lists of ingredients. GNC's pills featured similar unlisted allergens.
"If this data is accurate, then it is an unbelievably devastating indictment of the [nutraceutical] industry," supplement safety expert Dr. Pieter Cohen, an assistant professor at Harvard Medical School, told the Times. "We're talking about products at mainstream retailers like Walmart and Walgreens that are expected to be the absolute highest quality."
Accuracy of Testing Comes Into Question as Retailers Respond As Cohen alluded, some parties have cast doubt on the validity of the results. The news source explained that the testing process involved a form of genetic fingerprinting called DNA bar coding, but it's possible the manufacturing process prevented some of the herbs' DNA from showing up. That being said, this doesn't explain the presence of allergens such as soybeans and peanuts in the products.
According to the Times, the four retailers responded to the findings in the following ways:
Walgreens will remove affected products from its stores across the nation.
Walmart will contact its supplement suppliers and "take appropriate action."
GNC agreed to cooperate with the AG, but defended the quality of its wares.
Target did not comment on the issue.
All companies that manufacture or sell nutraceuticals can learn from this situation, from the smallest business to the largest retailer. Including pertinent, accurate information on stickers and labels can prevent adverse health effects, legal action and damage to brand reputation.

Jorge Oteiza "Iconoclast of sculpture"
Jorge de Oteiza Enbil (Orio, Basque Country, 21 October 1908 – Donostia-San Sebastian, Basque Country, 9 April 2003) was a Basque sculptor. He is considered to be one of the main representatives of the Basque School of Sculpture.
He started his artistic activity in San Sebastian in the '20s, in contact with the young people who developed the artistic vanguard in his city. The first sculptures by Oteiza are strongly influenced by cubism and primitivism.
With the experimentation inherited from constructivism, Oteiza embarked on what he calls his Experimental Proposition (1955), the title with which he presented his work at the Biennial of São Paulo (1957), where he received the grand prize for sculpture. In 1959 he decided to abandon sculpture, as he understood that he had reached his conclusive phase. During those five years of activity Oteiza carried out a transcendental operation, as he placed his work along the way of the European geometrical transcendence, vindicating neoplasticism and Russian constructivism. The recovery of the European geometrical aesthetics and their influence on Basque culture lay the foundations for what is called the Basque School of Sculpture; Eduardo Chillida is its most valued representative in the art market.
During the '60s and '70s Oteiza carried out some research on Basque language and Basque popular practices. In 1963 he published Quousque tandem…! An Essay on the Interpretation of the Basque Soul, in defence of popular Basque culture and its identity, and proposes aesthetics as a science under which knowledge can be subsumed. In 1969, Oteiza founded the School of Deba in order to put these ideas into practice. The critical and theoretical works are also completed with poetry: God Exists to the Northwest (1990) or Itziar, Elegy and other Poems (1991).
Oteiza is an artistic bridge between the period of the vanguards and the post-war generation and had an influence on artistic, cultural and political sectors. He remained distant and critical with the official knowledge and always maintained his iconoclastic position as regards ideology and politics.
In 1992 he donated his legacy to the people of Navarre. After his death, in the spring of 2003, the Jorge Oteiza Foundation opened its doors to the public in the town of Alzuza in Navarre, taking up what used to be his home and workshop.

Stranraer FC are delighted to announce the signing of defender Morgyn Neill.
Former Motherwell youth Morgyn was a rock at the heart of the Blues defence last season in his 14 appearances on loan from Livingston.
Stevie Farrell spoke last week of his admiration of Neill: "I like Morgyn and I like his attitude.
"When you sign a loan player you have got to sign the right type and he is the right type. He genuinely wanted to do well and for Stranraer to succeed."
Farrell wasted no time in securing the 6 foot 2 centre back, who now joins us on a permanent deal.
We'll have more news from the manager tonight (Friday) on his squad for the coming season.


Here, then, are tips that I have come up with to specifically address how to use Facebook to help offer care, support, and prayer for people who are ill or in need. If you think of any more, please feel free to contribute by adding your thoughts in the comments.
Sadly enough, the prayer life of the average Christian is not unlike this report from Onion Radio News. In this report a Christian loan shark prays for the strength to break thumbs. Let's not even mention that a Christian loanshark should be a walking oxymoron, but the earnest prayer of a scoundrel of this sort, well it is as likely to be answered as any other.
Certainly a characterization of prayers that people actually offer (then there are those for the high school football team victory), prayer has become for many a payment in a vending machine. What has happened is that we have begun to have the em-PHA-sis on the wrong sy-LA-ble.
Christianity is about putting God first. We believe God's ways are best, even if they do not meet our own desires. It is not only our duty, but it is an outpouring of the example and action of Christ himself: while we were yet sinners, Christ gave his life for us. God came to us, so God is first.

Support for Zortrax Inkspire and M300 Plus 3D Printers Added in Z-SUITE 2.7.0
Z-SUITE 2.7.0 has added Zortrax Inkspire to our 3D printer range and modified the options to better match resin 3D printing.
Zortrax M300 Plus 3D printer is also supported with the new version of the software and it can 3D print with Z-ULTRAT and Z-SEMIFLEX filaments.
Further changes include improving 3D printing quality and stability as well as working in tabs on MacOSX and the addition of the Preferences option.
Support for Zortrax Inkspire and Zortrax M300 Plus 3D printers has been introduced in the latest version of Z-SUITE along with a number of new features and performance improvements. Moreover it is no longer a beta version for Mac users. Here's a quick overview of all the features that make Z-SUITE 2.7.0 the best Z-SUITE ever.
Z-SUITE for Zortrax Inkspire
Zortrax Inkspire is the first resin 3D printer in our range, so there are a lot of changes we have made in the Z-SUITE software to make it work with this new technology. Once the Inkspire is connected to the Wi-Fi network, it appears in the control panel beside other Zortrax 3D printers. To begin working with this printer, the user has to click on the icon and choose a model he or she would like to 3D print. Because the UV LCD technology powering Zortrax Inkspire is inherently more precise than FDM, there is no need to analyze the model looking for walls too thin to be 3D printed properly. That's why Z-SUITE takes the user straight to print settings.
The print setting are also a little bit different compared to other Zortrax 3D printers. The user can set exposure time for a single layer. The longer the exposure, the harder the model will become after printing. It's also possible to set exposure time for bottom layers. This one is usually longer, because in the Inkspire the build platform is arranged upside down, so the bottom layers have to support the weight of the model. The user can also choose how many layers the printer should treat as bottom layers. Exposure OFF Time allows to choose for how long the printer should let the model rest after each layer has been solidified.
Zortrax Inkspire is made for precision 3D printing, so the entire support section in Z-SUITE has been designed to reduce the supports' footprint on the model and therefore the amount of post-processing required to obtain flawless surfaces. Supports for Zortrax Inkspire can be generated automatically, but more advanced users may wish to edit them by hand.
All supports have a shape of a pillar. SPACING option allows to choose how much space Z-SUITE should leave between them. In PILLAR SIZE, the user can set their diameter and TIP SIZE is there to set the diameter of a tip of each pillar. In some models supports may be grounded in the model which increases stability but results in two points where the support structure touches the model's surface. This can be changed by clicking the ONLY FROM RAFT option. This way Z-SUITE can work solely with supports grounded in the raft. Individual pillars can be added manually with the Add Pillar Support tool. Supports can be added by clicking on the exact spot where the user wish to place them. It's also possible to remove individual pillars. Just mark them and push the delete button to do this. Bear in mind that in the Support editing view, all pillars are displayed without cross supports making them stronger. Cross supports become visible in the Preview mode. The user can choose not to add diagonal supports by turning the Cross Support option off.
To reduce the supports footprint even further, Z-SUITE can set an additional exposure time specifically for support structures. This way they become harder than the rest of the model and therefore thinner. We have also introduced an entirely new engine generating visualizations of 3D models and print previews. Models are now displayed with beautiful shading and can be moved around smoothly. This makes manual supports' editing easier and improves the overall navigation experience.
Z-SUITE for Zortrax M300 Plus
Z-SUITE 2.7.0 also comes with the support for Zortrax M300 Plus FDM 3D printer. All M300 Plus machines can now be managed remotely from the control panel. Additional features include monitoring the ongoing prints through a camera installed inside the M300 Plus printing chamber. Printing profiles for Z-ULTRAT and Z-SEMIFLEX filaments have been added, as the printer can support them unlike the original M300. Settings optimized for third-party flex-type filaments have been added to External Materials section.
Improvements in the latest Z-SUITE don't end at new supported 3D printers. To make the software more intuitive, choosing Print Settings now precede the Support step. This way the Support step can be omitted when it is not necessary for example when supports are generated automatically or when the Shell infill is chosen for the model.
Slicing speed for Zortrax Inventure has been improved by 30% on average. Because the Inventure always prints with soluble support structures we have achieved this performance boost by refining support generation algorithms. Working with Zortrax Inventure is now faster than ever.
Further changes include working in tabs on MacOSX and adding the Preferences option. This option contains different setting preferences for the software, such as language settings, choosing the default printer or the Z-SUITE folder location and enabling or disabling notifications. The update also improves overall printing quality for the following materials: Z-ABS: 0,29, Z-PCABS, Z-ASA Pro (Zortrax M200); Z-ASA Pro (Zortrax M300); Z-ABS: 0,29, Z-PCABS, Z-ASA Pro (Zortrax M200 Plus), and adds a Flex-based filament profile in the External materials settings menu for Zortrax M200 Plus and M300 Plus. Last but not least, we have improved the quality of printing with ABS filaments on 0,29 mm layer height. This is a game-changing improvement especially for our production-focused customers who use this particular layer height for manufacturing operations. Models 3D printed with those specific settings now have way sharper edges, smoother surfaces, and more precise details. Support removal has become easier and it doesn't leave marks on the models anymore.

We are re-launching our drive to become a Rights Respecting School this term. We are very excited about this as we know this approach suits our school extremely well.
Watch this space – Our school cabinet will be keeping us all updated.
The Right Respecting School is an initiative of UNICEF who use the UNConvention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) as their guide. Unicef works with schools in the UK to create safe and inspiring places to learn, where children are respected, their talents are nurtured and they are able to thrive.
At the Leys we are starting our journey to earn a Rights Respecting Schools Award to ensure we embed these values in daily school life to give children the best chance to lead happy, healthy lives and to be responsible, active citizens.
There are four key areas of impact for children at a Rights Respecting school;
1 - Wellbeing
2 - Participation
3 - Relationships
The difference that a Rights Respecting School makes goes beyond the school gates, making a positive impact on the whole community.
Children are healthier and happier
- By promoting the values of respect, dignity and non-discrimination, children's self-esteem and wellbeing is boosted and they are less likely to suffer from stress.
- A child who understands their rights understands how they and others should be treated and their sense of self-worth is strengthened.
Children feel safe
- The Rights Respecting Schools Award gives children a powerful language to use to express themselves and to challenge the way they are treated.
- They are also able to challenge injustices for other children.
- Children and young people are empowered to access information that enables them to make informed decisions about their learning, health and wellbeing.
Children have better relationships
- Both with their teachers and their peers, based on mutual respect and the value of everyone's opinion.
- In a Rights Respecting school children are treated as equals by their fellow pupils and by the adults in the school.
- Children and young people are involved in how the Award is implement in the school but are also involved in strategic decision-making; in decisions about their learning; and in views about their well-being.
Children become active and involved in school life and the wider world
- This builds their confidence to make informed decisions.
- They have a moral framework, based on equality and respect for all that lasts a lifetime, as they grow into engaged, responsible members of society.
- Children and adults develop an ethos and language of rights and respect around the school. Rights and principles of the Convention are used to put moral situations into perspective and consider rights-respecting solutions – this all has a huge impact on relationships and well-being.
- Children and young people get very involved in raising awareness about social justice issues, both at home and abroad.
- They become ambassadors for rights and take part in campaigns and activities to help to bring about change.

The Woodstock Bus
In Search of Light
John Wesley Chisholm
Here's a first peek into the edit suite on the Woodstock Light Bus Project.
It's been two years since we first pitched the idea of a WOODSTOCK LIGHT BUS project to broadcasters at REALSCREEN. Curiosity Stream, Discovery Canada and Autentic Germany all came in to support the project. You'll be able to see the story on those channels this summer ahead of the Woodstock 50th Anniversary.
At the end of films you often see long lists of thanks to people who helped make a project happen. I don't think any project would have a longer list than this one. Every step of the way the path seemed blocked for this most unlikely story. And at every step some person, family, club, or company appeared and said "let us help". Dozens of folks even contributed cash to the restoration, repainting and resurrection Kickstarter (including substantial contributions from the Jimi Hendrix Estate and Alliance Tire) The Kickstarter raised an astonishing $90,000 in just over 30 days.
Our story has been picked up and shared by media around the world.
Dr. Bob, the original artist of the Woodstock Light Bus, believes in magic. When I started this project I believed in effort. After a point though you have to wonder. Either nothing is magic or everything is magic. I'm starting to lean toward the latter.
This week we've wrapped up principal photography on the first part of the Project. It kind of brings us up to the starting line of the road back to Woodstock. We've explored the backstory of Woodstock, VW Buses, and The Light Bus. We visited with the talented Bob Grimm and Trudi Cooper, members of the band LIGHT for whom the bus was originally created. We've searched America for the fate of the original bus. We found a matching 'canvas' bus brought to us by David Brasil. We restored the bus through the astonishing efforts of Skinner Classics, Eastcoast VW Restorations, JC Customs, Wolfsburg West, Greg Urrutia Engines, Wright's Gear Box transmission experts, and Kevin Kilfoy key expert. Dr. Bob and an amazing team of young artists he dubbed The Light Brigade painted the bus. We got it finished and road ready inside and out with help from SWS auto detailing. We traveled east and west. We've started to collect music for the project including an amazingly epic and apt contribution from Alasdair Roberts called the Flyting of Grief and Joy. We unveiled the bus to the sun in California with the help of Volkswagen of America. All along the way we shared the work, the experience, the story, and the joy with the most openhearted people imaginable.
In March we'll work out our plan to journey with the bus back to Woodstock.
We hope you'll join us.

Code sharing is an agreement between two (or three, in one case) carriers, in which one carrier (the operating carrier) allows another carrier (its code-share partner, the marketing carrier) to market and sell seats on some of the operating carrier's flights under the marketing carrier's reservation code. When a proposal of code sharing between two major airlines is initiated, a debate often ensues between the policy markers (e.g., the U.S. Department of Justice). The U.S. Department of Justice hesitates to approve such proposals due to concerns that these agreements may reduce competition and hence cause a loss of consumer welfare given the fact that potential code sharing partners already have high market shares. However, carriers have claimed that passengers benefit from code sharing because it provides more product choices and destinations. This paper lays out the first step and explicitly models these code sharing activities and quantifies their effects on consumers, carriers and social welfare. Our results show that consumers perceive code sharing product as a lower quality product. However, if code sharing creates new products, consumer surplus increases by a large amount. If code sharing does not create new products, consumer surplus reduces due to lower quality. Firms always benefit in the case of code sharing. Thus, the policy makers may need to pay more attention in markets where code sharing would not generate new products. In addition, this paper explicitly models how partner firms share their profits. The profit sharing rule between partners is 92% obtained by operating carrier.
Please briefly describe the main results of your paper. Are there any particular aspects of the data that should be noted?
The main results show the firms' profit sharing rule (8% of profit obtained by the marketing carrier and 92% acquired by the operating carrier from a round-trip ticket). In the case where code sharing creates new products, both consumer benefit and the firm's profit increase. Thus, the social welfare increases. In this case, the Department of Justice may approve such a code sharing agreement. The dataset is from DB1B, a 10% random sample of airline tickets from U.S. reporting carriers in a given quarter for every year. This dataset allows us to identify carriers, airfares and other characteristics for each segment. This makes the identification of parameters easier, since we observe both code-sharing tickets and non-code-sharing tickets in the same market.
How did you become interested in the question of airline code sharing? Why is this topic important?
My thesis advisor, Marc Rysman, from Boston University introduced me to a reduced-form article on airline code sharing when I was a second-year graduate student. I have been interested in this topic since then. I am still interested in airline code sharing and plan on writing more articles about it. This topic is important because it motivates one's thinking on collusive behaviors between players. Empirical IO method plays an important role in understanding issues, such as airline code sharing, in antitrust topics.
How does this paper build upon and differ from prior literature on code sharing among airlines?
This paper builds on previous literature. For example, Ito and Lee (2004) examines prices of code sharing tickets. Gayle (2012) investigates whether code sharing eliminates double marginalization. This paper particularly models code sharing into consumer utility function and firm's marginal cost. This allows us to estimate the consumer's direct utility from code sharing tickets and the firm's cost reduction by code sharing. In addition, we model a profit-sharing rule, which is new to the literature.
What are some of the policy implications that arise from this work?
The policy implication is that the policy makers should be cautious on approvals of code sharing agreement in markets where no new products are created.
Code sharing between a major airline and a regional airline has not been paid enough attention. Future research is needed, for example, to investigate how this type of route/network extension affects consumers' utility.
