My co-workers and I recently attended the New York Accessories/ENK Show at the Javits Center in NYC. What an amazing experience and what a great time we had discovering new brands and new products to carry @ LBD! To start, this particular buying trip focused on just what the name suggests: Accessories. Scarves, jewelry, handbags are the core of this event but it is also a great way to meet with clothing vendors who work on a smaller scale.
We then made our way to the handbag area. After perusing aisle after aisle of handbags, we agreed unanimously that the perfect accompaniment to the styles at Little Black Dress was the handbags from Big Buddha. With prices below $100 for the large "carry everything you could possibly need and then some" Grayson hobo we are sure Big Buddha will be a big hit with LBD shoppers.
We also spent a little time ordering new styles from some of the favorite designers we already have in house: Tart Collection, Lucky Brand, KUT From The Kloth, Tyler Boe and Julie Brown and Brighton to drop just a few names.

Q: immutability of a class when an instance variable present as arraylist I have a class which is immutable
Suppose I have a getter method for a member variable of type ArrayList. In that case when I get a reference to that variable, I can add or remove an element from it. In that case immutability seems to get violated.
Can anyone explain this concept in details?

A: You shouldn't provide variable of type ArrayList. Provide just List and make sure the getter does one of the next:

*

*returns a copy of your list

*or returns unmodifiable list

or both.

A: You are indeed right. Immutability is violated.
To make a class immutable, you need to make sure that all of its getters return safe copies of any class whose state could otherwise change.

A: if you create a new instance of that changed object of type X, then instance of X would be considered as immutable. It is easier to understand if you consider your ArrayList. YOu've methods to alter this list. Each altering method make a copy of this list and add/removes/updates on the new copy and return back.

Q: Holonomy of H^{n} I am trying to show that $Hol_{p}(H^{n})=SO(n)$. I know that Iso$_{p}=SO(n)$. From here can I conclude that $Hol_{p}(H^{n})=SO(n)$? For $S^{2}$ if we have two vectors $u,v$ at north-pole $N$ then let $\gamma , \sigma $ be geodesics from $N$ with velocity $u,v$ and intersect the equator at $p,q$. Then if we parallelly  translate $u$ along $\gamma$, then along equator and then along $\sigma$ we get $v$. A similar argument works for $S^{n}$. Is there a similar argument for $H^n$?
Thank you in advance.

A: Start by looking at the case $n=2$. Then, by considering holonomies along various geodesic triangles with one vertex at $p$, you see that every rotation about $p$ is realized (this is very similar to the sphere case: You use the fact that each nondegenerate triangle has nonzero angle deficit). Therefore, the holonomy group of $H^2$ is $SO(2)$. Now, use this fact for the general $n$ to conclude that any rotation about a codimension 2 subspace is in the holonomy group. Lastly, use the fact that $SO(n)$ is generated by rotations of the above type (normal form of orthogonal transformations).


This month he has focused on the how exercise is beneficial with tips how to stick to exercise as a consistent goal in your life.
Welcome to the Core Essentials to Health column. Last month's column covered psychological stress and this month's column focuses on my favourite, physical wellbeing.
Very simple levels such as 20 minutes of active exercise daily can make you 50% less likely to have diabetes, 30% less chance of heart disease and 30% less likely to suffer from depression or dementia. So obviously even low levels of exercise not only helps us physically but also mentally. Sticking to long term exercise is a problem that I see in my patients regularly. You need goals that are achievable for you and then enjoy fulfilling them. Goals can be as simple as walking the dog daily or tough as running a marathon, it must fit around your current lifestyle so you can plan it at the beginning of the week and execute it by the end. You goal can be integrated into your current schedule like walking your children to school or even going to the gym in your lunch hour. The key aspect is to then celebrate your goal! Tell people about your achievement and then set a new goal. My wife ran the Brighton Marathon but after race day, her running stopped. So now she has set another goal of a 12 week fitness plan and is enjoying executing her new goals. Don't make excuses, remember the satisfaction after going to the gym, walking to dog or swimming and make that feeling a priority in your life.
Combined exercise, psychological happiness and nutrition can help you to be healthier and happier. Next month you can learn simple easy methods to introduce new and fun healthy eating to your lifestyle.

Congressional hearing reveals US intelligence agencies shielded Flight 253 bomber
February 13, 2010 admin News 3
By Alex Lantier
A January 27 hearing of the House Committee on Homeland Security established that US intelligence agencies stopped the State Department from revoking the US visa of Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab. The Nigerian student, whom US officials suspected of being affiliated with the Yemeni terrorist group Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, attempted to set off a bomb on Northwest Flight 253 into Detroit on Christmas Day. Revocation of Abdulmutallab's visa would have prevented him from boarding the airplane.
The hearing was reported in a brief article posted January 27 on the web site of the Detroit News, headlined, "Terror Suspect Kept Visa to Avoid Tipping Off Larger Investigation."
The revelation that US intelligence agencies made a deliberate decision to allow Abdulmutallab to board the commercial flight, without any special airport screening, has been buried in the media. As of this writing, nearly a week after the hearing, the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post and Los Angeles Times have published no articles on the subject. Nor have the broadcast or cable media reported on it.
This is despite—or perhaps more accurately, because of—the fact that this information exposes the official government story of the near-disaster to be a lie.
President Obama, who has joined with top US intelligence, FBI and Homeland Security officials to insist that Abdulmutallab was inadvertently allowed to board the plane carrying explosives because of a failure to "connect the dots," has from the start been deceiving the American people. The official line strained credulity from the outset, given reports of multiple advance warnings that the Nigerian student was linked to terrorists in Yemen who were planning attacks on the US.
As was widely reported within hours of the failed bombing attempt, Abdulmutallab's father—a former Nigerian minister and prominent banker—went to the US embassy in Abuja in November to warn that his son was involved with radical Islamists in Yemen and had broken off contact with his family. The family said they had given US officials extensive information about their son in the expectation that they would "find and return him home."
In his prepared statement to the House Committee on Homeland Security on January 27, State Department Under-Secretary for Management Patrick Kennedy said: "In the case of Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, on the day following his father's November 19 visit to the Embassy, we sent a cable to the Washington intelligence and law enforcement community through proper channels that 'Information at post suggests [Farouk] may be involved in Yemeni-based extremists.'"
Kennedy confirmed that all US intelligence agencies received warnings that Abdulmutallab was training with terrorists in Yemen. "At the same time, the Consular Section entered Abdulmutallab into the Consular Lookout and Support System database known as CLASS… The CLASS entry resulted in a lookout using the correct spelling that was shared automatically with the primary lookout system used by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and accessible to other agencies."
Under questioning by the committee chairman, Rep. Bennie Thompson, Kennedy explained why the State Department might not revoke the US visa of a suspected terrorist: "We will revoke the visa of any individual who is a threat to the United States, but we do take one preliminary step. We ask our law enforcement and intelligence community partners, 'Do you have eyes on this person and do you want us to let this person proceed under your surveillance so that you may potentially break a larger plot?'"
He added: "And one of the members [of the intelligence community]—and we'd be glad to give you that out of [open session]—in private—said, 'Please, do not revoke this visa. We have eyes on this person. We are following this person who has the visa for the purpose of trying to roll up an entire network, not just stop one person.'" And confirmed that Abdulmutallab's case was one in which US intelligence officials had interceded to block a visa revocation.
In prepared remarks at the same hearing, National Counterterrorism Center Director Michael Leiter stated: "Within the intelligence community we had strategic intelligence that Al Qa'ida in the Arabian Peninsula [AQAP—the terrorist group in Yemen with which Abdulmutallab was in contact] had the intention of taking action against the United States prior to the failed attack on December 25th, but we did not direct more resources against AQAP, nor insist that watch-listing criteria be adjusted prior to the event." He added that US intelligence analysts "did not push [Abdulmutallab] onto the terrorist watch-list."
This inaction came despite the fact that US intelligence agencies were well aware of the threat posed by AQAP. According to Leiter: "The Intelligence Community highlighted the growing threat to US and Western interests in the region posed by AQAP, whose precursor elements attacked our embassy in [the Yemeni capital] Sana'a [in September 2008]. Our analysis focused on AQAP's plans to strike US targets in Yemen, but it also noted—increasingly in the fall of 2009—the possibility of targeting the United States."
Amazingly, the US government did not declare AQAP a terrorist group until January 19, 2010, even though it was referred to by that name in 2009.
State Department spokesman Philip Crowley stated that declaring AQAP a terrorist group would "prohibit provision of material support and arms to AQAP and also include immigration-related restrictions that will help stem the flow of finances to AQAP." Thus, for nearly a month after the attempted bombing, US officials were not required to implement a range of measures against AQAP, including "an asset freeze, travel ban, and arms embargo," according to Crowley.
At the January 27 hearing, Leiter said that there had been "multiple" points of failure in the US government's response to warnings of the impending attack. However, all three government officials testifying—Kennedy, Leiter and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Deputy Secretary Jane Lute—said no disciplinary action would be taken.
There are a number of possible explanations for the decision to allow Abdulmutallab to board Northwest Flight 253. One could be that the US intelligence did not want to alert Al Qaeda that it was watching Abdulmutallab. Such reasoning may not hold water as the Congressmen noted during the hearing, US Customs and Border Protection had prepared to interrogate Abdulmutallab upon arrival in Detroit. His name was on the Terrorist Identities Data Mart Environment database.
The Abdulmutallab episode was used as a pretext for expanding US military operations in Yemen, adding further security restrictions at airports, and expanding the "no-fly" passenger list and other databases by agencies unaccountable to the American people.
Obama gave a December 28 internet and radio address in which he described Abdulmutallab as an "isolated extremist." He also declared: "A full investigation has been launched into this attempted act of terrorism, and we will not rest until we find all who were involved and hold them accountable… We will continue to use every element of our national power to disrupt, to dismantle and defeat the violent extremists who threaten us."

Didn't even bother going to the pub to watch it. Saving the energy for the big match Saturday, or Sunday
Yes, I won't be going to the Pub for this one either, I can't be drinking as it is a 5am start for the Final and the kick off for my game at 9am,

Sadly from experience, beer and football don't mix.
One of my ships arranged a match against a college team in Florida. Held our own in the 1st half, but at half time we had a case of beer for refreshment while they had oranges. Huh!
Second half got cancelled with they reached double figures and we needed more beer.
Fortunately, the match kicks-off at Noon on the West Coast, so will enjoy lunch and a few pints of a pleasant, hoppy IPA.🍺
I remember when our team had to play the Dutch Navy at a Dutch festival in Sydney, they were out for Australia's Bicentennial celebrations (1988) and it was to be an Exhibition match as the Dutch Queen was there.
We were not sure what to expect, really good players and get hammered or vica versa. Well it was a tough game and despite the tightness of the contest, we were ahead 2-0 at half time. They then proceeded to drink as many Heinekens as possible in the scheduled 15 minute break. Ten minutes into the second half ( 3 more goals and no opposition) we stopped the game, mixed the sides so that we could have some fun as well as an exhibition game. It was much more even and a hell of a lot of fun.
We were all presented medals by the then Dutch Queen and everyone had more Heineken.

A Welsh friend who lives in Normandy & played for the local rugby club arranged a weekend trip for the club to Caerphilly, with a saturday morning match against the Caerphilly team, then all off to Cardiff to watch Wales vs France in the afternoon. I rented two minibuses and met them off the ferry at Southampton on the friday morning, and we drove to Caerphilly.
When we arrived, they were invited to a shindig at Caerphilly rugby club on the friday evening, held in their honour. They weren't keen to attend because they wanted to be fighting fit for the morning's match, but it would have been very impolite not to attend so they decided to go along just for a couple of hours. At the shindig they were introduced to the Caerphilly players, who plied them with beer. Since the Welsh players were themselves also drinking heavily, everyone got in the spirit of the thing and a long and drunken evening was enjoyed by all.
Next morning the French gingerly trotted out onto the pitch, and didn't recognise a single face in the Caerphilly team - they'd been entertained the previous evening by Caerphilly's B team, when the First team were tucked up in bed..
Devious lot, the Welsh
Needless to say the French were heavily beaten that morning. And the French national team were beaten in the afternoon.
Another boozy evening on the saturday night before returning to France on the sunday.
Despite the defeats they all rated the trip as one of their most-enjoyable.

Reported in this evening's paper, tickets passed to spurs fans for a staggering £25K
Madness!

Wow, I wonder if there is anyone who would pay that.
Kick-off in just over an hour. Heading out to the pub shortly to claim our reserved seats, or else standing room only, Wearing a red shirt, rather than the customary Ranger's blue.😀🍺
Read this morning a plane load of Spurs fans had a bird strike, rendering the plane unuseable. Hope they find a spare aircraft and don't miss the match.
A shame for them especially now but I am Happy and glad it is over now with a 6th Champions league title for Liverpool. I think they deserved something out of this season after being such a solid performance all season in the Premiership and this league.
Getting 97 points in the EPL and not winning, they certainly deserved CL # 6.🙂
Great start to the match and brilliant result, but in my opinion Spurs played the better football. The game plan/tactics got the result, but not the best game to watch. Liverpool full backs hardly attacked and way too many long balls.
Great to see Milner come on as a sub, added a bit of grit to the midfield.

I wouldn't even pay 25K to watch Rangers beat ...tic.
With all the tickets given to sponsors, etc for CL finals, the lack of atmosphere just isn't worth it. 😞 Attended too many matches before seated stadiums with 100,000+ fans, with some real atmosphere. Just as happy watching on telly these days.

Agreed, after the Semi finals from both sides, it was always going to be hard to live up to.
Lucky you could get it televised. I had the laptop live streaming,.

We couldn't get the match on TV without subscribing to the DAZN streaming service. Since they only had UEFA matches, I refused to pay them $25/mo for the season just completed. Next season they have UEFA & EPL, so I'll get a subscription in August.
One of our local pubs has a subscription, but being live streaming it wasn't the smoothest picture. Still prefer the quality of broadcast TV, whether by sat or cable.
Yes, sadly I didn't want to have to drive to get to see it on TV, with Hindsight, I think I made the right decision.
Tend to agree, as the quality was similar to watching matches on the laptop
I watched it on TV, high-definition.
The quality was awful.
Not the picture quality, which was fine - but the quality of the football, which was dire
But I don't suppose the Liverpool fans cared too much about that.
I cared a little.
Devastated.
Not a result I think we deserved. To go behind from an incident after 30 seconds where a player deliberately kicks at a player's outstretched arm (and only hit cos it bounced of his chest) is a bitter pill. It did hit his arm.... But just look where that "pass" was heading.....
And in the reverse of last season, the keeper saved you.
Football victories are often marginal and luck plays a huge part... Often too much.
Without wishing to sound bitter... Congrats to the European Champions..... But I can't help thinking we deserved better. That said, teams both clubs knocked out will be saying the same thing.
Not sure missing out on the PL qualified as a reason Liverpool deserve this cup, but there ya go!

Are Spurs still at White Hart Lane? Saw them there as a kid.
2 minutes ago, NSWP said:
That ground has been demolished, but the new stadium is at the same location and dwarfs the old ground. Costing in excess of £1Bn it is the best stadium in the UK. Only United can boast more seating and no club can boast better facilities which will catapult the club into a new level.

They cam close this year, hope they can do better next year but not to the expense of Liverpool's premiership and championship double.😋

Mic - I have researched numerous options to get the football & other UK programs. I am currently in the process of checking out Gold IPTV & Blue Sky IPTV. Virtually similar programming, with Sky Sports & BT Sports. As we have a Smart TV, I can load Blue Sky directly without any hardware or VPN.
Might be worth checking if it is available in Australia.
cheers, will check it out.

Last year I joined the October writing challenge to write for the 31 days of the month. I chose Kate Motaung's "Five Minute Writing" version since I love Five Minute Friday. Quite honestly, it was exhausting to try to write every day. I skipped a few. I amended a couple of the given topics. I concluded that it was too much for me and that I'm more of an occasional, write-as-I'm-inspired kind of blogger.
But then I met Lauren in the spring through our church, and IRL [in real life] friendship has also become writing/blogging camaraderie. Last week we were chatting about blogging, and she told me that she was joining in again this year and that she's asked for a few guest posts to supplement her writing. I began thinking that maybe I could try it after all. It could be a good way to jumpstart myself back into regularly blogging, which I've neglected the past few months of finishing up my book manuscript. I also thought it would be more do-able if I started with a topic I've written a lot about personally but have not blogged a ton about – being a parent to 5-year-old fraternal twin daughters.
I hope you will join me as I do a sweeping view of the past five years of highs and lows twice amplified. I may even introduce a few of my fellow twin-mom-warriors to you along the way.


http://www.suicidepreventionlifeline.org to chat with someone 24 hours a day.
I've historically believed that so long as someone's actions don't directly harm others, then to each their own.
Theoretically, I've applied this belief system to life and death. I strongly support physician-assisted suicide and Right to Die legislation. I've always believed that labeling suicide as a crime is silly.
Philosophically, I support the right for people to choose death. If you are in intolerable pain and suffering, isn't the most ethical thing to allow you to relieve that hurt?
And then my friend committed suicide. My young, healthy, smart, loved friend killed himself.
And this week, so did Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain. Talented, accomplished, wealthy, loved people.
As when Sean died, I've realized how suicide can appear as a very selfish act. Why would someone do such a thing? Didn't they think about their family? Children? Friends? Didn't they know they were loved??
Questions like this–questions I once asked myself and have since cringed at every time a suicide happens–suggest that suicide is a completely rational decision. These types of questions don't take into account brain chemistry or understand the altered state of mind that many who take their own lives are living with at the time of their deaths.
Suicide is the tenth leading cause of death in the U.S. according to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. And the majority of people who kill themselves–90%–have a recognizable and treatable psychiatric condition such as depression or PTSD at the time of their death. Suicide does not have to be the answer to ending emotional turmoil.
Death in the age of social media is an interesting proposition.
I remember looking at my friend's Facebook shortly after his passing, the macabre first-person mechanism his family used to communicate about funeral arrangements. So many people said things like: If I had only known… Why didn't he call me… I would have been there in a second… I, basically an acquaintance at that point, even wondered: What if I had just sent him a message… would it have made a difference?
I don't know the answer. I have no idea what drove him to it. All I do know is that in addition to being sad that Sean was gone, I also felt angry… It didn't have to end that way.
Now, in light of Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain's deaths just a few days apart, I'm seeing the same comments across social media. I'm feeling similarly confounded, but ultimately more compassionate. We just don't know the suffering of others.
If you are contemplating suicide, please reach out. Please know that people love you–even if it doesn't feel like it right now. Please know that there is help available. Please know that you WILL be missed. Please know that you–YOU–matter.
If you are in crisis, please reach out, please call someone, no matter the hour. Your life is worth it.
Adapted from an April 15, 2012 post.
*When initially writing this post, I recognized that I was separating physical and emotional pain, believing that for terminal, incurable physical ailments, suicide seems the most compassionate answer, but that emotional issues in an otherwise healthy person do not constitute enough cause for killing oneself. There is a reason I am not a moral authority on anything!


This should give you a basic introduction to metal spray technologies. I have posted several references to safety issues when working with metal sprays and related technologies.
In essence, Metal Spraying involves the melting of a raw material in wire or powder form, before propelling the atomised material towards the workpiece at high velocity to create a coating.
Arc Spray - In the Arcspray process, the raw material in the form of a pair of metallic wires is melted by means of an electric arc. The molten material is atomised by compressed air and propelled towards the workpiece.
Flame Spray - In the Flamespray process, the raw material in the form of a single wire, cord or powder, is melted in an oxygen-fuel gas flame. This molten material is atomised by a cone of compressed air and propelled towards the workpiece.
Plasma Spray - When Plasmaspraying, the plasma is created by an electric arc burning within the nozzle of a plasma gun. The arc gas is formed into a plasma jet as it emerges from the gun nozzle. Powder particles are injected into this jet where they melt and then strike the surface at high velocity to produce a strongly adherent coating. Almost any material can be sprayed including metals, ceramics and plastics. The workpiece remains cool because the plasma is localised at the gun.
HVOF - Liquid fuel and oxygen are fed via a pre-mixing system and at high pressure into a combustion chamber where they burn to produce a hot, high pressure gas stream. This is expanded through a laval type nozzle increasing the gas velocity to around 1,500 m/sec and the pressure to slightly above atmospheric. At this stage the powder can easily be injected into the gas stream.
Metalizing Current State of the Art - Metalizing" is a term applied to pure metal sprayed coats (not paint) as opposed to other methods of applying metallic coatings such as hot dip galvanizing or electroplating. Metalizing equipment is mobile, appropriate for many complex shapes and not limited by size. Metalizing may be used alone or in combination with other coating systems, and drastically increases the adhesion of topcoats when they are applied over metalized coatings. A wide variety of materials can be safely and effectively metalized including: metal, concrete, glass, plastic, fiberglass, wood, paper, and cloth.
Metal Spraying of Zinc and Aluminum in the United Kingdom -A wide range of industries in the United Kingdom have used zinc and aluminum spraying for the corrosion protection of either mass produced articles or individual structures. Those reported include many which can still be seen as case histories demonstrating the long life possible. Zinc spraying of plastics, impregnated asbestos, and non-metallic substrates (such as paper in electrical capacitors) is widely used to provide electrical conductivity or electromagnetic screening properties of reflective surfaces. Meanwhile, zinc or tin-zinc spraying is used in the production of moulds and mould tools for the plastics industry.
Nickel-base spray-and-fuse coatings, although developed over fifty years ago, are still specified by many of our customers because they are reliable, inexpensive, and they perform very well in service. These coatings are a special alloy of nickel, chromium, silicon, boron, and carbon. Their major attribute, in addition to their excellent resistance to galling and abrasive wear, is that their melting point is only about two thousand degrees Fahrenheit. This means that they can be sprayed onto a steel component (which melts at about twenty seven hundred degrees Fahrenheit) , and then subsequently fused, or melted, without melting the base metal.
The plasma spray process was developed in the 1950's as an off-shoot of the rocket industry. The process was developed to enable aerospace engineers to spray-form non-metallic nose cones. The plasma spray gun is basically a welding torch into which spray powder is introduced. The expansion of the inert gases passing through the gun accelerates the spray powder toward the target. The arc temperature of the plasma torch approaches 30,000 degrees Kelvin, which is sufficient to soften even the most high-melting materials. This process is used to apply high-melting materials such as chromium oxide, aluminum oxide, and titanium oxide.
Thermal Spray Metal Coatings - Mr. B. Fitzsimons B.Sc.
Scientists at Los Alamos National Laborator, Los Alamos, N.M. have adapted a metal forming technology with origins in the Cold War for a new application in the art world.
Big, metal yard sculptures comprise a growing trend among sculptors and their enthusiasts. But corrosion-free metals such as stainless steel are difficult for sculptors to cast or machine. Electroplating the corrosion-free metal over the sculpture produces a coating too thin for sculptors to polish or shape. So sculptors are often stuck using inferior metals throughout the piece. "Not anymore," says Hollis. "The old way involved making a mold and pouring molten bronze into the mold. What we're able to do is apply different metals on the outside of the piece."
Related Article - Los Alamos researchers, Kendall Hollis and Richard Castro, are adapting industrial technology for spraying molten metals to [sculpture]. Hollis and Castro earlier this year contacted sculptor Tom Bollinger, who was managing a local art foundry and is now based in Arizona. The three have formed a business called Scintilla Artworks to commercialize the sculpture spraying technique and develop metal spray technology specific for the needs of the art community.
Spray - atomized materials and Metal Matrix Composites Al - based The manufacturing company, PEAK in Germany, concentrates on the material refinement of aluminium based spray - atomized materials suitable for forging processes. The optimization of characteristics are mainly aimed at the introduction of alloy elements (particle strengthening), the fabrication of homogeneous structure or the intensification of the alloy contents. In addition materials are produced that were formerly either impossible or difficult to cast.
ABSTRACT: Metalworking is the constructive sculptural application of various technologic processes for producing art from ferrous and nonferrous metals. Self-employed artists and their workplaces are not protected by governmental agencies. We describe the techniques involved in metalworking processes and discuss the physical trauma and medical syndromes associated with each process, as well as safety, prevention, and treatment aspects of the basic syndromes.

Three-dimensional printing is a process by which bulk parts can be built up by repeatedly applying binder to a thin layer of powder using an ink-jet printing technology. The process has been well developed for making parts from ceramic materials, using traditional combinations of ceramic powders and binders. We are doing research to apply this technology to the production of metal alloy parts of high hardness and toughness, for applications where hardenable die steels are conventionally used. We are developing systems in which hardenable steel powders are printed to produce green porous green bodies.
Manufacturing Technology Facility (MTF) - The MTF focuses on advanced materials engineering and processing, integrated product and process design, and prototype production. Major emphasis is placed on net-shape forming, solid freeform fabrication, automated machining, and joining processes.
The goal of this program is to provide an environmentally and economically acceptable coating process to replace currently used hard chromium electroplating processes. The spray casting process utilizes pressure-controlled atomization to apply liquid metal droplets that form a coating on the desired substrate.

We had the opportunity recently, to talk to Dr. David Atherton, who is a member of Pampers Parenting Panel and a paediatric dermatologist at Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital. He gave us a really great insight into some of the most common skin complaints in children, their causes and cures.
Birthmarks are a common occurrence in babies; some appear immediately after birth while others may develop in the first few weeks of life. Two common types of birth marks are port wine stains and hemangioma.
Port wine stains are present at birth, and can range in colour from light pink to dark pink/purple. They can appear anywhere on the body, but tend to be prevalent on the face or head. The lighter birthmarks may fade with time but they can also remain and even become darker over time. Depending on where they appear, there may be medical implications to consider, for example if they occur on the eye lid, a child's sight may be affected. It is always best to seek medical advice about what treatment is best for port wine stains. In the past many medical professionals recommended a wait and see approach, although in recent times more and more doctors have advocated early detection and treatment as the best approach. In certain cases, laser treatment has been known to be successful; however your doctor will be able to offer advice about the best course of treatment.
Hemangiomas are abnormal lumps made up of blood vessels which are in fact benign tumours, which develop in the first few weeks of life. They can often grow for up to 6 months and can in some cases shrink away. It is incredibly important to get these seen by a medical professional so they can decide what treatment is necessary. In many cases they don't pose any major problems and can be treated very effectively with drugs. However, in other cases they may cause medical complications – depending on the size and location on the body, surgery to have them removed may be required. The key to treating these birthmarks is early detection and treatment. The drug treatments that are available are extremely effective at controlling growth, but early treatment is essential for optimum results.
Dr Atherton discussed his findings on eczema with us as it is another skin condition that is prevalent in Ireland. With about 20% of children suffering from eczema at one time or another, he feels it is at it's peak, and while there is no definite known cause, it is firmly believed to be genetic, with cases re-occurring in families, however, what the genetic pre-disposition is has not yet been defined.
It is also believed that a person's immune system has a large part to play. All genes control the quality of the surface layer of the skin which produces a flexible varnish like covering – and for most of us, it does a great job, but if the layer is not functioning correctly, the living cells which are located immediately underneath the surface become too exposed and the problem can therefore be exacerbated by air. The skin is like a frontier organ, and when the living cells are exposed to air, they cannot stand to be dried out and it is this drying which causes the eczema.
There have been suggestions that the use of soap and detergents have impacted on the increased cases of eczema over the years, and Dr Atherton suggests that this could be relevant to those that are pre-disposed to the condition. He believes that the use of soaps and detergents on babies should be avoided – and that nothing more than water should be used for bathing and washing their clothing.
Currently there is a strong belief that food allergies are the cause of eczema, but Dr Atherton is inclined to disagree, stating that there have been many findings on the contrary. He says that he always queried the food allergy references, as many children who were instructed to adhere to milk avoidance rarely benefited. He believes these trials are a waste of time, when it is clear that eczema is to do with skin fragility and a sensitivity that is inherited. He states that it is known (albeit not yet widely accepted) that food is not the cause of eczema; however, children who have eczema are prone to developing allergies. The most common situation is that baby has eczema and the first time they have egg, they vomit and/or experience facial swelling. This is an entirely different reaction and is not the cause of eczema but rather a complication which arises from it. If a child doesn't have eczema it is unlikely they will have the reaction.
In cases where children who suffer from eczema go on a foreign holiday to a warmer climate, their eczema has improved with the hot and humid air, without a dietary restriction. It's clear that warmer humid air is kind to the skin, and this can be seen with babies who suffer from eczema, skin in the nappy area tends to be the least affected as the air inside the nappy is humid. Dr Atherton believes that the proof of there being no connection is evident when a child's eczema recovers while they are in a hot country for any period of time, without adhering to any diet restrictions.
There are very effective treatments available for eczema, one of which is, without doubt the most effective – however, is not necessarily possible for most people, as it involves moving to a hot climate.
Dr Atherton also suggests that the use of a humidifier at home would be beneficial in serious cases. He also asserts that water hardness can be very bad for the skin and that if you are in an affected area you should use a water softener.
It is possible for children to grow out of eczema, but it should never be ignored. Lots of adults have it and in many cases they still have it in adulthood because it wasn't dealt with properly during childhood. A common false belief is that any treatment is just a temporary fix, and as such is a waste of time. Dr Atherton firmly believes this is not the case, explaining that any period where you keep eczema at bay for a long period you are effectively helping the skin to repair itself, and prevent a downhill spiral during childhood, and allow you as an adult to naturally develop a better functionality of the skin overall.
The right treatments are moisturisers combined with a steroid to combat the inflammation. The combined treatment is absolutely essential for treating the problem and when the condition is under control, continued moisturising is necessary to give the outside layer of the skin the support it lacks and to prevent eczema returning. And steroids can be used very safely today, although as with all treatments you will need to consult with your G.P. There are anti-inflammatory treatments that don't contain steroids although they are expensive and they don't always work. However, this non-steroid treatment is effective for the facial area – which is useful as using topical steroids on this area is a common concern.
Nappy rashes are the cause of many a sleepless night (and day) for mums, although Dr Atherton explained that it used to be a much larger cause for complaint, but has improved significantly with the dawn of the disposable nappy. And although the first iteration of the disposable nappy didn't quite work at preventing the rashes, since then, there have been many significant improvements. However, regular nappy changing is still the best method of preventing nappy rash. You need to avoid a soiled nappy staying in contact with the skin for very long. The nappies will go a long way to absorbing the liquid in poo so they can reduce the contact with skin but still regular changes are necessary. The problem with poo is that it contains digestive enzymes that once unleashed on the skin begin to digest the skin, especially liquid poo, which is likely to distress and damage the skin.
Weaning and teething are obviously times that nappy rash seems to flare up, and rather than there being anything too scientific to explain this, it is simply that it is a time of real stress for babies, and Dr Atherton believes that the skin is very susceptible to stress.
There are countless creams on the market that work well on nappy rash – but it differs for each baby, and can often be a case of trial and error to find the one that works for your baby.
As a general rule of thumb on bath time, Dr Atherton advises that using any kind of baby washing product is not advisable. 'Skin friendly' from a manufacturer's point of view generally means they are not as bad as other products. Anything that has detergent in it is not suitable for baby's delicate skin. The official advice is to wash babies in plain old water and to avoid baths every day. If you want to use something when you bath your baby you should use a simple cream cetraben or epidermal cream which you can use like soap and shampoo.

Mishawaka pipe bomb suspect charged in federal court
Posted: Feb 15, 2018 11:16 AM EST
SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- An Elkhart man was arrested on federal charges for allegedly throwing two pipe bombs out his vehicle window while in Mishawaka, causing road and business closures.
Investigators say Jacob Ryan Underwood, 22, was charged with possession of a firearm, namely a destructive device, which is not registered to him.
He is accused of taking two pipe bombs and tossing them out his vehicle window at Grape Road and Indian Ridge Boulevard in Mishawaka on January 29.
Investigators received information Underwood claimed he made the pipe bomb located in January in Elkhart and that he claimed ownership of a pipe bomb found in a mailbox in Marshall County, according to the criminal complaint.
While executing a search warrant at Underwood's home, police found several rounds of ammunition, a shotgun, black electrical tape, and a large garbage can that appeared to have been damaged by an explosive device.
Underwood allegedly admitted to helping create one pipe bomb and watching two other pipe bombs being made.
He admitted to taking two of the pipe bombs and throwing them out the window in Mishawaka on January 29, although he could not remember the exact date, according to the criminal complaint.
Underwood denied any involvement with the pipe bombs located in Marshall County.
"Destructive devices, such as pipe bombs, are not only illegal, but present an imminent danger to life and property. The US Attorney's Office will continue to aggressively prosecute those who possess and attempt to detonate devices like these," US Attorney Thomas L. Kirsch II said.

Police and medics warn that getting nitrous oxide from corner shops is like 'buying a loaf of bread'
Friday 25 November 2022, 4:33pm
Nitrous oxide canisters can be bought in shops
The West Midlands' Police and Crime Commissioner says 'not enough' arrests have been made over people misusing nitrous oxide.
Just four arrests have been made in the region, while the number of young people being admitted to hospital has risen.
In some cases, recreational use of the gas has led to permanent disability. and has been described as a matter of 'serious concern' by Simon Foster.
The issue was raised by neurologist Dr David Nicholl, who called for more to be done to tackle the issue. It was at a meeting of the Commissioner's monthly Strategic Policing and Crime Board.
The issue was also debated in Parliament on Thursday (24th November), after reports that some youngsters had been left seriously ill, following misuse of nitrous oxide.

West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner Simon Foster said:
'I am grateful to Dr David Nicholl for highlighting this important issue. The reported increase in the admissions of patients to hospitals in the West Midlands, as a consequence of the misuse of Nitrous Oxide for recreational purposes, is a matter of serious concern.
'I note in particular that in some cases, misuse is leading to permanent neurological disability. In addition to that, there are also the dangers that arise due to people driving, whilst under the influence of Nitrous Oxide and anti-social behaviour.
'I am giving consideration as to what further action I can take to prevent and tackle the misuse of Nitrous Oxide including, calling on the government to strengthen the regulatory regime and as the Senior Responsible Owner in the recently formed West Midlands Combatting Drugs and Alcohol Partnership, ensuring that the misuse of Nitrous Oxide is addressed in the Strategic Needs Assessment, that is currently being prepared'.
He went to say 'In addition to that, I would urge West Midlands Police to give further consideration as to what can be done to prevent and tackle this issue and in particular to work with partner agencies, such as Public Health and Trading Standards, to make sure it is less readily available to young people.
'I am also calling on retailers immediately, to accept their responsibility to comply with the law relating to the sale of Nitrous Oxide and exercise all due care and attention, in relation to who they are selling it to and the circumstances in which it is being sold and purchased'.
Nitrous oxide is increasingly bought in large canisters Credit: PA
Dr Nicholl said: 'Myself and my colleagues across the West Midlands are concerned at the sizeable number of admissions to hospital as a consequence of Nitrous Oxide abuse.
'This was a neurological rarity pre-pandemic, we began to see a large increase in 2020, and things have further deteriorated this year, with an increasing use of large Nitrous Oxide cylinders.
'Neurologists in every hospital in our region are now seeing patients presenting with this avoidable neurological harm.
'Although most patients will recover, some are left with life-changing neurological injuries, and are unlikely to walk again fully normally. We agree with the British Compressed Gas Association that this material should be more tightly regulated.
'It should not be available in an unregulated manner from corner shops as easy to purchase as "buying a loaf of bread". We hope that by raising this, it will lead to greater focus both as public health issue, in terms of education, but also to take action against criminal suppliers.
'Clearly four arrests in a region of our size is not enough to clamp down on this, we are however keen to work with any other agencies to try and reduce the level of harm to the people of the West Midlands."

AmSafe Bridport's history and heritage can be traced to the 9th Century when Bridport was established as a fortified Burg by King Alfred. The climate and geology surrounding the town of Bridport proved ideal for the growth of hemp and flax and this created the foundation for an industry which thrives (albeit in a different guise) over a thousand years later. There is evidence in the Doomsday Book that the town prospered well into the 11th century. Even King John ordered "Bridport ropes and cables" presumably for the English raid on King Phillip of Spain's fleet in 1211. The town was already renowned for its production of ropes, cables and hawsers by the 13th century.
The evidence that Bridport had gained a reputation for producing high quality hemp ropes and yarns is borne out in the granting of its first charter in 1253 by Henry III. The 14th century saw the emergence of hemp merchants who established the industry even further – in particular William Bume whose goods were valued at £9 which included sailcloth, rope, girth webs flax and hemp – the same textiles being used centuries later.
It has been the industry's ability to adapt to change that, together with the presence of good transport links, has allowed it to survive to the present day.
When the Royal dockyard took over production in the 17th century Bridport soon filled the gap by making lines and nets for the nascent Newfoundland fishery. These soon became the dominant products and were exported all over the world. During this time sailcloth gradually expanded in importance and by the end of the 18th century Bridport and South Somerset were suiting all the revenue boats, packets and Smacks of Great Britain, as well as exporting canvas to the American navy; sails for the Royal Navy came later!
The industry served this market until the depression of the latter part of the 19th century when it turned to producing nets for the rapidly developing sports of tennis, cricket and football. The end of the 19th century saw the industry re-enter the production of nets for the military.
gap in the market which a number of firms stepped in to fill, leading to the formation of a dozen or so firms.
Through a combination of exceptional internal growth, a few select strategic acquisitions and strides in our capabilities and product development, we have become a world leader in safer, more efficient airframe restraints & barrier solutions, cargo handling & movement solutions and RPG protection for armoured vehicles.
By 1999 the company is largely focused on products for commercial & defence aviation and is sold to the Marmon Group.

It was a broadly bullish month for world equity markets, with net monthly changes ranging from +2.8% (France), +1.3% (USA - Dow), +1.0% (Germany), -1.6% (UK), to -2.1% (China). Mid term outlook remains bullish, with most markets set for another 10-15% of upside by year end.
The mighty Dow climbed 277pts (1.3%), settling at 20940. Underlying MACD (green bar histogram) cycle ticked higher for a sixth consecutive month. The key 10MA will be close to the psy' level of 20k in May.
Best guess: broad upside to new historic highs (>21169) in May, or certainly by mid June - when the Fed are set to raise rates again. A year end close near 23k appears a very realistic target, which would equate to the sp'2650/700 zone.
Equity bears have nothing to tout unless a break and monthly close under the key 10MA.
The economic powerhouse of the EU - Germany, climbed for a fifth consecutive month, settling +1.0% at 12438. There was a decisive break above the April 2015 high, with a notable new historic high of 12486. The 13000s appear a realistic target this summer. The only issue is whether an acceleration in the upward trend to the 14000s by year end.
The BoJ fueled Nikkei saw some choppy price action, with an intra low of 18224, but settling +1.5% at 19196. The monthly candle is pretty bullish, with a very spiky floor, indicative of further upside. First big target is the 20k threshold, and then the June 2015 high of 20952. A year end close in the 21000s appears a valid target, as the global QE printing presses continue to spin.
The Chinese equity market was the big laggard in April, with a net decline of -2.1% to 3154. Despite a weak close, this was still above the key 10MA, with price action having been choppy since the Nov'2016 high of 3301. Equity bulls need to see some price action >3300 to offer the 3500s, where the upper bollinger will act as strong resistance. Any monthly closes >3600 will offer a powerful surge to challenge the June 2015 high of 5178, and right now, that is a massive 64% higher.
The Brazilian market saw a choppy month, settling moderately higher, +0.6% to 65403. The April close was notably above the key 10MA, and the monthly candle was somewhat spiky, suggestive of further upside. Having already broken above massive multi-year resistance, first big target remains the May 2008 high of 73920, and that looks viable before year end. As ever, Brazilian equities will be particularly dependent upon commodity prices.
It was a month of chop for Russian equities, with the RTSI settling net higher by 0.4% to 1119. Price structure since the Jan' high of 1194 is arguably a bull flag, which will be provisionally confirmed with any price action in the 1200s. Any break into the 1200s will offer grander upside to the 1500/1700 zone. The Russian market will be greatly swayed by oil/gas prices.
The UK equity market saw a choppy month, leaning weak into end month, settling -1.6% at 7203. The surprise announcement of an election (June 8th'), is a temporary cloud over the market. The result is not an issue though, with the current ruling conservative party set to massively increase their control of the nation, who will then hold power into 2022.
The 7k threshold - once multi-decade resistance, is now core support. Considering other world markets, the FTSE'100 should be able to hold 7k, and push to new historic highs, whether in May, or shortly after the election. The 8000s look highly probable before year end. Talk of 'FTSE 10k' is valid.
March saw a provisional break above multi-year declining trend/resistance, with the French market seeing a decisive breakout, +2.8% to 5267. Its notable that the intra high of 5296 broke the April 2015 high. Next upside target is the June'07 high of 6168, which does appear highly probable before year end.
As for the election - round'2, May 7th, it would seem Macron will win against Le Pen. Its increasingly difficult to see Le Pen seizing 1 in 2 of the French electorate. Even if there is a Le Pen victory, the equity outcome would arguably be much like the Trump event. Any initial weakness would be quickly reversed.
Keep in mind the ECB printers are still spinning, as Draghi is extremely reluctant to tighten monetary policy. French equities are certainly benefiting from the new money, much of which is inevitably going to find a home within equities.
Spanish equities continue to power upward, with the IBEX climbing for a third consecutive month, +2.4% to 10715. First big target remains the 12k threshold, which is another 12% higher. Any monthly closes >12k will offer 15/16k, before the rally that began in July 2012 from 5905, has a realistic chance to conclude..
The Australian market climbed for a third consecutive month, +0.7% to 5947. Its notable that the April 2015 high of 5963 was briefly broken, with an intra high of 5983. A monthly close >6K will offer a straight run to challenge the Nov'07 high of 6873.
All world equity markets remain within mid/long term upward trends.
The German market was especially strong in April, seeing a new historic high.
The breakouts in the French and Australian markets are extremely important, and have very bullish implications for other markets.
Most markets look set to have a basic 10/15% of upside before year end.
FOMC announcement @ 2pm. No change in policy is expected. There may be some chatter about reducing the balance sheet later this year. There will NOT be a press' conf'.
F - monthly jobs, consumer credit.
*there are a truckload of Fed officials set to appear on Friday, notably Fischer and Bullard - speaking at a monetary policy conf' in Stanford.
If you value my work, you can support me via a monthly subscription. For $20pcm, you will get access to my continuing intraday posts, which total 220/240 a month. Or you could buy one share of AMZN in about 4-5 years time.
US equity indexes closed broadly weak, sp -4pts at 2384. The two leaders - Trans/R2K, settled lower by -1.0% and -1.2% respectively. VIX settled +4.4% at 10.82. Near term outlook offers renewed upside into the sp'2400s, as corp' earnings and econ-data continue to come in 'reasonable'.
It was a day of moderate chop for US equities, leaning on the weaker side. Its notable that the Nasdaq comp' managed yet another new historic high. The two leaders did close sig' lower, but they do tend to move twice the amount that the headline indexes do.
Market volatility floored in the low 10s in the morning, and increased into the afternoon. A brief foray to VIX 12 seems probable next Monday.. if sp'2374. The low teens look out of range until next Thurs/Friday.
The sp'500 settled net higher by 21pts (0.9%) to 2384. Most notable this month, new historic highs for the Nasdaq comp' and R2K. The sp' settled 5.8% above the key 10MA. At next Monday's May 1st open, that will jump into the 2270s, and will be around the 2300 threshold in June.
This market is no fun ride for those still bearish.
*the weekend post will appear Sat' 12pm EST, and will detail the World monthly indexes.... and it remains my most important post each month.
US equity indexes closed moderately mixed, sp -1pt at 2387. The two leaders - Trans/R2K, settled -0.9% and +0.6% respectively. VIX settled +0.8% at 10.85. Near term outlook offers continued upward grind, as the equity bears are being systematically short-stopped with new historic highs.
It was a pretty choppy day, arguably as the market was mostly just consolidating the past two days of gains. It was notable that the Nasdaq comp' (6040) and the R2K (1425) both broke new historic highs.
Volatility remains extremely subdued, as the US equity market is set to end the month on a positive note. The key VIX 20 threshold looks out of range until at least Sept.
With two trading days left of the month, all US equity indexes are set for at least moderate net monthly gains.
Most notable, the 10MA - currently at 2246. At next Monday's open it will be in the 2270s, and as of June 1st... around the 2300 threshold.
Equity bears have NOTHING to tout unless a break AND monthly settlement under the 10MA. I recognise some of you like the 13MA.. or something similar. In the scheme of things, it makes little difference. For now, the mid term bullish trend remains comfortably intact.
US equity indexes closed broadly higher for a second consecutive day, sp +14pts at 2388. The two leaders - Trans/R2K, settled -0.4% and +0.9% respectively. VIX settled -0.7% at 10.76. With the Nasdaq and R2K at new historic highs, the sp', dow, and others.. are set to follow.
It was another day for the equity bulls, with new historic highs for the Nasdaq comp' (6036), and the R2K (1415).
For the sp'500, the closing hour break above big resistance of 2380/90 was very significant, and offers a monthly close around the 2400 threshold.
Volatility was itself choppy, and notably saw a new cycle low of 10.22. The key 20 threshold looks out of range for some months.
Blustery... cold.... sleet/snow/hail.... its not summer yet.
US equity indexes closed significantly higher, sp +25pts at 2374. The two leaders - Trans/R2K, settled higher by 1.6% and 1.3% respectively. VIX settled -25.9% at 10.84. Near term outlook offers a few days of consolidation chop, but as things are, US equities are now set for net monthly gains.
With the market believing that 'President Macron' is a sure thing (Sun' May 7th), most world markets jumped significantly higher. Today saw the sp'500 approach big resistance of 2380/90. Regardless of any near term consolidation/chop, it does look like we'll see most indexes settle net higher for April.
With the election uncertainty out of the way, volatility collapsed, with a somewhat incredible daily close in the VIX 10s. Does anyone really think the key 20 threshold is viable any time soon?
I recognise some (perhaps many) of you don't much care, but the implications for other markets - including the US are undeniable.
The German DAX broke a new historic high today, the door is now open to 14/15k.
The French market naturally saw the most powerful of gains... breaking the 2015 high.
A push to the 6000s is now on the menu, whether by year end or early 2018, it really makes no difference.
It was a bullish week for US equity indexes, with net weekly gains ranging from 2.9% (Trans), 1.8% (Nasdaq comp'), to 0.5% (Dow). Near term outlook offers chop into end month, with a more viable break to new historic highs in the sp'2400s, after the French election is out of the way.
Despite some moderate Friday weakness, the sp' managed a net weekly gain of 19pts (0.8%), to 2348 - just over 2% below the March 1st historic high of 2400. Underlying MACD (blue bar histogram) ticked lower for a seventh consecutive week. The key 10MA remains short term resistance around 2359.
Its notable that core rising support in early May will be around 2260, and will rise to 2300 in early June.
Best guess: an attempt to clear resistance of 2380/90 (but failing) into end April. A break into the 2400s appears far more viable after round two of the French election (May 7th). A June rate hike would help inspire upside to the sp'2425/50 zone. The 2500s look a stretch before Aug/Sept. The year end target of 2683 remains on track.
Equity bears have nothing to tout unless a break of rising trend, and arguably (at minimum) a hit of the lower weekly bollinger, which is currently at 2225, and rising.
The tech settled net higher by a rather significant 1.8% to 5910. Indeed, the Nasdaq was just 10pts shy of breaking a new historic high. Upper weekly bollinger is offering the 6060s, the 6100s appear a valid target for May/June.
The mighty Dow was the laggard this week, managing a gain of just 0.5% to 20547. Things will turn short term bullish with a break >20800. A push to the 21250/500 zone appears viable by late June. First big support is the 20k threshold, and this will intersect rising support in early June. The Oct'2016 low of 17883 looks an awful long way down.
The master index settled net higher by 0.6% to 11389. Price structure since late Feb' is arguably just a big bull flag. Bulls need a break above 11500 to provisionally confirm. Things only turn bearish with a break below rising trend, which in mid June will be around 11400.
The second market leader - R2K, had a very bullish week, settling +2.6% at 1379. There was a fractional break of short term declining trend. Things turn decisively more bullish with a break >1400, and then the recent historic high of 1414. Its notable that the upper and lower bollingers are now very tight. A big move is probable. Cyclically, the R2K is on the very low side, and another up wave is likely to begin.
The 'old leader' - Trans, is leading the way back upward, with a powerful net gain of 259pts (2.9%) to 9133. A break above the weekly 10MA in the 9200s next week would be rather bullish, and offer a run toward the upper bollinger in the 9500s. A grander move to 10k is on the menu... so long as the fed raise rates this June/July. Things only turn bearish if the March low of 8798 is taken out. Even then, that is still a long way above the Oct'2016 low of 7885.
All US equity indexes remain near historic highs.
The Nasdaq remains the strongest index, with the Transports still trailing.
The mid term upward trend from early 2016 remains intact.
Round one of the French Presidential election is Sun' April 23rd. The result should be known before the US market opens on Monday. A 'definitive winner' is extremely unlikely, and instead, a second round for the leading two candidates will be held Sun' May 7'th.
Depending on the final pairing, its quite possible the market will be able to fathom who will become President. So... the Monday open could be rather dynamic.
*Market consensus is expecting Q1 growth of 1.1%, which is indeed weak, but that has typically been the case for the first quarter.
**there are just three fed officials scheduled. Neither of the trio are likely important, and it remains clear there will be no policy change at the next FOMC of May 3rd.
*the next post on this page will likely appear Monday at 7pm EST.
US equity indexes closed moderately mixed, sp -7pts at 2348. The two leaders - Trans/R2K, settled +0.1% and -0.3% respectively. VIX settled +3.4% at 14.63. Near term outlook is uncertain, and will be highly dependent on round one of the French elections this Sunday. Regardless of any near term geo-political scares, another big push to new historic highs remains due.
It was a rather natural opex, with the market makers almost managing an optimal close around sp'2350/ SPY 235.00.
Volatility did lean a little higher, which is not surprising with the French election this Sunday. The key 20 threshold still looks out of range though, even if Le Pen is one of the top two candidates.
US equity indexes closed broadly higher, sp +17pts at 2355. The two leaders - Trans/R2K, settled higher by 1.7% and 1.2% respectively. VIX settled -5.2% at 14.15. Near term outlook threatens a little weakness, with the market primed to settle opex/weekend around 2350.
The moderate swings continue, with today seeing the market managing some broad upside. A minor gap of 2353/57 was filled, Mr Market washed out the sp'2360 short-stops, before some cooling into the close.. partly due to what appears to be another Paris terror attack.
*Notably, the Nasdaq comp' is a mere 10pts from breaking a new historic high (5936). The 6000s are clearly within range before end month.
Market volatility remains naturally subdued... with the VIX back in the low 14s. The 13s are clearly viable tomorrow, but the 12s look out of range, as we have the uncertainly of round one of the French election this Sunday.
US equity indexes closed moderately mixed, sp -6pts at 2342 (intra low 2334). The two leaders - Trans/R2K, settled -0.6% and u/c respectively. VIX settled -1.6% at 14.42. Near term outlook offers another moderate wave higher to the sp'2350/60s. Broadly, a push to new historic highs in the 2400s now looks out of range until early May.
US equities opened moderately weak, partly weighed by a (moderate) earnings miss from GS, but more so, the news of a UK election. An opening reversal failed to hold in early morning, with another wave lower to sp'2334. From there, a rather standard (if choppy) latter day recovery.
Volatility was itself choppy, and with a moderate equity recovery in the afternoon, even turned negative into the close.
Seriously, its a very shrewd political move. The main opposition party 'Labour' (the UK version of the democrats), is deeply fractured, and are trailing in the polls by around 20pts.
May* is seizing the opportunity to greatly increase her parliamentary majority, and safely 'bank' a further five years of power to summer 2022. Unlike the French elections, there is near zero doubt on the outcome of the June 8th UK election.
Naturally - even though the result is clear, the UK equity/capital market will be somewhat clouded until the election is out of the way.
Last year's break above 7k was massively decisive.That is now core support, and should hold into the June election. If you backwards extrapolate, you have to start from 10k before the next major decline can begin, and that is clearly not viable any time before late spring 2018.
If you believe that, you should also recognise there are indirect implications for the US market.
*I'm not suggesting May is on the level of a Sith Lord, but her voting pattern across the last decade is pretty dark sided.
