It's Throwback Thursday with The Verve! VBS Mutual Bank Issues and the US has cheese identity crisis. I'm Barry "The Beef Dumas" and this is your morning market scoop!
VBS Bank, the "Honey Pot"
Looting was the name of the game at VBS Mutual Bank, as a forensic report by SARB recommended that over 50 people be charged and be held liable in civil proceedings. The forensic report found that the perpetrators looted almost R2 billion.
Some prominent figures are mentioned, one of which is Brian Shivambu and you guested it right Floyd Shivambu's brother. Brian is one of the recipients who got "gratuitous payments "totalling R16.14 million.
It is also reported that former CEO of VBS Mutual Bank, Andile Ramavhunga admits to knowing that part of the 2% commission being paid to middlemen would be used to bribe municipal officials to illegally deposit taxpayer money with the bank.
The big picture – In March this year the Reserve Bank placed VBS Mutual Bank under curatorship after a severe liquidity crisis. The SARB deputy governor appointed a forensic team of investigators to establish exactly what precipitated the failure. The music is over for some key figures but the question remains, how deep does the rabbit hole of corruption go?
Economic and political stability is one of the key factors that rating agencies look at and if we can curb corruption we might just start to grow as a country.
Nothing better than Mac with CHEESE, right??
The American cheese culture is at a cross road, the once famous product devoured by Baby boomer sand the love object of Gen X'ers like myself is coming to an end?
American food outlets are abandoning the iconic staple for more fancier cheeses, as wellness is at the top of the "food chain" with millennials.
Looking at the manufacturing landscape, the number of chees factories in the U.S have increased by 40%. But the growth is from small speciality cheesemakers and not mass-producing factories.
The big picture – Millennials are dictating and directing the way the world is moving forward, whether it be for the good or bad or ugly.
Your dreams of having mac and CHEESE well into the future might be at an end if all this madness continues.
Remember, placing stops to close can diminish your losses better than a wide stop! But will lead to more frequent (smaller) losses.

Markdown is a very popular plain text markup format, but the Python community uses an alternative called reST.
Markdown usage is pretty ubiquitous; it's used by many blogs, and sites like Reddit, GitLab, GitHub, StackOverflow, etc. The Python project uses reST, and has the Sphinx doc processing tool generate their html docs, as do many other Python-based projects.
This somewhat opinionated document (I prefer Markdown to reST) compares some syntax differences between Markdown (in particular, Pandoc's Markdown) and reST syntax. Please note that, anywhere I say "Markdown" below, if there's any ambiguity, I specifically mean the "Pandoc Markdown" flavor. Gruber's original Markdown lacks a number of the modern niceties which Pandoc-Markdown tastefully provides.
The characters chosen to underline the reST H3 and H4 headings are mostly arbitrary; different people use different ones. When working on large documents, personally I prefer Markdown style — it's easier to visually discern the main sections and subsections without getting distracted by lower subsections.
Markdown allows you to use "# H1 #" and "## H2 ##" (and even just "# H1" & "## H2"), but I find those somewhat less readable than what's shown above.
ReST requires two backticks around inline code, which gets tiresome to type. It also requires a double colon (either ending the preceding paragraph, or else as shown above) for code blocks.
With Pandoc-markdown delimited blocks, you can use the triple-tilde or the triple-backtick. Since delimited blocks don't need to be indented, they can save time when copying/pasting code from source files to documents.
and my understanding is that docutils can do that as well, though I wasn't able to get it working with docutils (version 0.8.1).
Please find [a link to the site](http://example.com/).
Also useful is [this site], as you may have heard.
Please find `a link to the site <http://example.com>`_.

Personally, I regularly forget the reST link syntax.
Also, reST automatically converts things that look like urls to links (see the last line above), but it's smart about not including trailing punctuation in the linked-to url (at least, for the cases I tried). That said, bare urls with trailing punctuation look a bit weird to me. Regardless, I prefer the Markdown style of always putting angle brackets around urls so that (A) they stand out better, and (B) there's no ambiguity about what's included in the url.
seems to go on and on.
I think a major win for Pandoc-Markdown here is that, when dealing with any kind of list, list content (not the marker, but the text itself) can always start in at a multiple of 4 spaces/cols. Code is the same, but with no list marker. It's simple and consistent, is easy to remember, looks good, and makes formatting deeply nested lists easy.
With reST, the blockquote content looks to me like it might be a code block — I have to check if there's a preceeding double-colon to be sure.
Also, both markup formats support a "grid table" syntax as well.
One minor footnote [^1] to be aware of.
math: $a^2 = b^2 + c^2$.
One minor footnote _ to be aware of.
.. : footnote text goes here.
To insert raw html, there's a ".. raw:: html"
so: :math:`a^2 = b^2 + c^2`.
It's nice that reST has its own comment syntax, though I can't say that it stands out very much from the rest of the document's content.
reST supports autonumbering of footnotes, if you'd prefer to just write them with a number sign (like autonumbered enumerated lists).
For details on reST's raw html directive, see the reST docs.
or maybe put them into a table, or a definition list.
with Pandoc-markdown you can force a newline by ending a line with a backslash (note that both reST and Pandoc-Markdown support line blocks).
reST has "option lists" for listing options and args you might pass to a command-line program.
And of course there's other sundry differences between them that you can read about in their respective documentation pages. In this article, I'm trying to sum up the major differences that you'll notice when using them on a regular basis.
For multi-chapter documents, ReST has Sphinx. For processing multi-chapter possibly-nested Pandoc-Markdown docs, I cobbled together my own tool called Rippledoc.
My 2¢: Pandoc-Markdown is easier on the eyes, easier to remember, and even easier to type.

Oh, dear. I am such a terrible manager of my time. You would have thought that College Success Skills class would have cured me of that. But no. Today is supposed to be my big catch-up day with writing my novel, reading, writing in my journal, doing a little sewing, and possibly even decorating my bare aluminum Christmas tree that stands in the corner. But no. I have been distracted all morning, mostly by the Internet. It's just so tempting, when I'm writing my story. That little Internet Explorer button is right there, and it's so easy to click it, just to check Blogger or search for the meaning of a name, I tell myself. An hour later, I somehow find myself drooling over journals on Etsy. How did that happen? It's a mystery.
Seriously, though, the creativity of other people amazes me, inspires me, and makes me feel like a loser (sometimes all at once). Bookbinding? How awesome would that be? There are so many beautiful journals on Etsy that it makes me want to sit down and fill mine up with a lot of nonsense, just so I have to order another one. There are lovely handbound vintage style journals, and most of them aren't that expensive. The first thing I bought with some of my graduation money this summer was a new journal: a leather one with sheet music on it, handmade in Italy (it came from the Barnes and Noble website). It is beautiful, and it smells wonderful, but it cost $35, and I've recently discovered that I could have gotten a one-of-a-kind handmade on on Etsy for less than that.
Look at this one. How awesome is that? A journal made out of an album cover...with a record for a divider...and clips so that you can add or remove pages. That is one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Counting shipping, it would still be less than $30. And you can add pages, so basically you could use it until it fell apart.
I can see now that I'm going to get nothing accomplished today. Except those 400 words I wrote in my story this morning.
I'm so thankful that my class was canceled this morning. Our community college had a lockdown. Someone saw three guys, one with a gun and another with a baseball bat. I'm still not exactly sure what happened, but the police were called. Nobody at the school was hurt, and the lockdown has been lifted. I'm so glad that I wasn't there...it would have been really scary. And I would have been arriving there just after the lockdown was enforced, so it would have been chaotic, I'm sure. I couldn't have gotten to class anyway and probably would have had to just drive back home.
"Dancing with the Stars" was awesome this week. Probably one of the best weeks ever. On Monday night, the dances were awesome, especially the Latin round where they had to dance with a theme of a certain decade: 60's through the future. Derek and Joanna's futuristic dance was one of the weirdest dances I've ever seen, but it was amazing. And I just love Mya and Dmitri. And Michael Buble sang my two favorite songs of his on there last night: "Haven't Met You Yet" and "Feelin' Good." It was so lovely.
Switchfoot's new CD "Hello Hurricane" came out yesterday, and JesusFreakHideout's reviews are really good for it. I'm such a dummy...I was in the Christian bookstore (both of them in our town) yesterday, but only looked at the books. I didn't even go into the CD section, because I thought that CD wasn't being released until the end of November. So now I have to stop by there tomorrow after class and pick it up. The sample clips sound very interesting!
Why is writing a story so much harder than writing in a blog? I'm off...to try and do something productive with my day.

The Tudor Black Bay is one of the most successful and popular collections from the Genevan watch manufacturer. Harmonious retro designs and precise technology characterize this line. Top models are made of bronze and contain in-house movements.
The Tudor Black Bay from the Heritage retro watch collection is one of the Swiss luxury watch manufacturer's flagship models. The Genevan company introduced the Black Bay diving watch in 2012 and continues to expand the line with new models. The vintage look is inspired by historic Tudor Submariner models, which is why new models are characterized by domed crystal and a large crown with no protector. The so-called "snowflake hands" with squared ends are another distinctive feature of this series. Tudor has been outfitting almost every Black Bay model with in-house movements since 2016. These movements have an impressive 70-hour power reserve and a certificate from the Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC).
One of the highlights is the Black Bay Chrono, which was presented at Baselworld in 2017. This column-wheel chronograph with an in-house movement is a certified chronometer and can run for almost three days when fully wound. The bronze Black Bay Bronze and the bicolor Black Bay S&G in stainless steel and yellow gold are both in line with current trends. Those who like to change their watch's band will enjoy the additional textile strap that is a part of every complete Black Bay set.
How much does a Tudor Black Bay cost?
Prices for a new Tudor Black Bay range from around 1,900 to 6,500 euros. At the top end of this price range are models such as the Black Bay Bronze, which Tudor launched exclusively for the watch and jewelry company Bucherer. The Black Bay 36, on the other hand, sits at the lower end of the price range. This retro watch has a polished bezel that is reminiscent of the Rolex Explorer and thus is not a diving watch. The ETA caliber 2824 ticks inside this sports watch. The 41-mm variant is only slightly more expensive and is powered by the same movement.
There are numerous current versions of the retro diving watch Tudor Black Bay. The first model came to market in 2012 and has a red bezel. The Black Bay Blue with a blue bezel appeared two years later, followed by the long-desired Black Bay Black with a black bezel in 2015. The year 2016 saw the release of the Bronze with an aluminum bronze case and the Dark with a stainless steel case and bracelet both coated in black. Since 2017, a bicolor version, the Black Bay S&G, and the Black Bay Steel with a stainless steel bezel have been released. Each variant comes with a stainless steel or leather band. You can change your band at any time thanks to the additional textile strap delivered with every watch.
You can find a pre-owned Tudor Black Bay with a leather strap for as little as 2,200 euros; new models start around 2,400 euros. Set aside another 200 euros for a variant with a stainless steel bracelet in mint condition. One of the newer models with the in-house movement MT5602 without a date display costs about 2,600 euros. If you would like a watch with a date display, you should consider the Black Bay Steel or the bicolor S&G model. The latter costs around 2,800 euros for a new watch with a distressed leather armband, while the price for a model with a bicolor stainless steel and gold bracelet is around 3,700 euros. A new Steel with a stainless steel bezel comes in at 2,600 euros with a leather strap or 2,900 euros with a stainless steel bracelet.
The bronze and all-black versions of the Tudor Black Bay line are among its most trendy models. The Genevan manufacturer uses the PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) process to layer the stainless steel case and bracelet of the Black Bay Dark in black. Its appearance is both sporty and restrained at the same time. This timepiece costs around 3,400 euros with a metal bracelet and around 3,200 with a leather strap.
Tudor's bronze watch is available as a standard model with a brown leather strap and an additional dual-colored textile strap. The 43-mm aluminum bronze case is completely satin-brushed. Over time this material will develop a distinctive patina, bringing to mind historic diving equipment and ship parts. You can purchase a Black Bay Bronze for a little as 3,200 euros.
A highlight within this series is the Tudor Black Bay Chrono, an automatic chronograph with two subdials and a date display. The manufacturer launched this watch with stopwatch functionality in 2017 and equipped it with the caliber MT5813, which has a 70-hour power reserve. The chronograph operates using a column wheel, which is seen as being higher end and more prestigious than the alternative cam actuated chronograph. The latter is used in the widespread Valjoux 7750, among others. The MT5813 is based on the Breitling B01 that is used in current versions of the Navitimer. In return, Tudor provides Breitling with their own in-house automatic movement MT5612 with three hands. Furthermore, the Rolex daughter company modifies the B01 by using their own winding rotor to wind the movement when worn as well as a silicon balance spring for more precise timekeeping.
Thanks to the screw-down crown, pushers, and case back, the Tudor Black Bay Chrono is water resistant to 200 m (20 bar). The manufacturer chose to make the inscription of the water resistance red in the style of historic diving watches. A tachymeter scale on the fixed bezel can be used to measure speed. You can measure periods of time up to 45 minutes using the subdial at 3 o'clock. That being said, the snowflake hour hand obscures part of this display when it's between 2 and 4 o'clock. The small seconds dial sits at 9 o'clock, while the date is at 6.
Like other models from the Heritage Black Bay series, the chronograph is available with a stainless steel or leather band and comes with an additional textile strap. The version with brown leather costs around 3,600 euros, and the one with a riveted stainless steel bracelet costs around 3,900 euros. For comparison: you would have to pay at least 5,000 euros for a mint-condition Navitimer 01 that uses the same base caliber.
Those on the lookout for a more elegant sports watch should take a closer look at the Tudor Black Bay 41 or 36. As their names imply, these two models differ in their case sizes. They feel a bit more formal than the diving watches and chronographs due to their polished, fixed bezel. Thanks to a water resistance of 150 m (15 bar), you can keep the Black Bay 41 or 36 on while swimming. The caliber 2824 ticks away inside these watches rather than an in-house movement. This movement has a power reserve of 38 hours. As for the band, you once again have the choice between stainless steel and numerous leather bands. You can get a 36-mm model in mint condition for less than 2,000, regardless of the band. The 41-mm version costs only slightly more at around 2,200 euros.
How can I know if my Tudor Black Bay has an in-house movement?
If you want to know if an in-house movement is ticking inside your favorite Tudor Black Bay , take a look at the dial. Models with in-house movements have the inscription "Chronometer officially certified" above the 6 o'clock position and below the water resistance. Watches from before 2016 feature the inscription "Rotor Self-Winding" instead. It's easy if you have a Black Bay S&G, Steel, Chrono, Dark, or Bronze since these variants have always been made with in-house movements.

The center will hold
By Frank J. Tipler
Things fall apart; the center cannot hold;
Are full of passionate intensity.
So wrote William Butler Yeats in 1919, in reaction to World War I and the 1918–1919 flu pandemic — a far worse time than this.
Yeats was wrong: the Center of human civilization held then, is holding now, and always will hold.
What is the Center of human civilization? Mathematics, and all that follows from mathematics. Mathematics is certain!
Let me dismiss a quibble: Kurt Gödel is said to have undermined mathematics with his Incompleteness Theorems. What nonsense! The Gödel theorems are only valid mathematical theorems, not revelations from God. Gödel correctly showed that a particular method of proving the mathematical consistency of arithmetic would not work, not that proving consistency is impossible. Gödel himself outlined a consistency proof based on the Theory of Types, and Gerhard Gentzen gave another valid proof based on transfinite induction. The interested reader can consult Wikipedia for details, but the bottom line is this: mathematics is as certain as it has always been thought to be.
What follows from the certainty of mathematics?
In 1948, the great British mathematical physicist Sir Edmund Whittaker (FRS, Copley Medal) proved in his book Space and Spirit that St. Thomas Aquinas's five proofs for the existence of God — Aquinas' Five Ways — are valid when translated into modern physics (Aquinas based his formulation on Aristotelian physics).
Let me give only one of the modern proofs, the updated Second Way, or the Argument to the First Cause. (Aquinas got this proof from Moses Maimonides: see Guide for the Perplexed.)
The modern version needs only two assumptions: (1) time exists (Aquinas tacitly assumed this), and (2) the Second Law of Thermodynamics, which says the entropy of the universe always increases.
These two assumptions, both firmly established by physics, imply that the universe is not complete in itself. Time, physics tells us, is like a line. If this line were curved into a circle, then the universe would be complete in itself. But time cannot be cyclic, because entropy must always increase. If time were cyclic, the entropy at some time point in the future would have to return to the same value it had in the past, contradicting the fact that it always increases.
So if we look at any sequences of causes into the past, either there is a finite sequence of causes beginning with a First Cause that has no prior cause, or else the sequence is infinite. In this case, the set of the infinite sequence of causes defines a First Cause (the technical mathematical expression is "the set defines the completion of the sequence").
In either case, a First Cause exists, and, in Aquinas's words, the First Cause "all persons call God."
Inevitability, Whittaker's proof will be rediscovered — mathematics always wins. So future society will acknowledge the existence of God, just as it acknowledges the fact the Earth is a planet, established by Aristarchus, forgotten during the Dark Ages, but rediscovered by Copernicus. Under God, morality will return.
Yeats should have remembered an earlier poet, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow:
God is not dead, nor doth He sleep.
The wrong shall fail,
The right prevail
Frank J. Tipler is Professor of Mathematical Physics at Tulane University. He is the author of numerous technical papers, mainly in cosmology and general relativity, and the books The Anthropic Cosmological Principle (co-author), The Physics of Immortality, and The Physics of Christianity.

Q: Dimension of the symmetric\alternating k-tensor over an $n$-dimensional vector space. I want to solve this question:
Suppose $V$ is a vector of dimension $n$ over a field $F$ of characteristic not equal to 2. Calculate dim $Sym^{k}(V)$(the symmetric k tensor ).
I know that $(Sym^k(V))^*,$ where $*$ denotes the dual is isomorphic to the homogeneous polynomial of degree $k$ in $n$-variables $F[x_1, \dots, x_n]_k$. and I know that in case of $F[x_1, x_2]_k$ its dimension is $k+1$ but I do not know how to generalize its dimension when we have $n$-variables. Could someone clarify this to me please?
Also, how can I calculate dim of $\wedge^k(V)$ (skew symmetric forms)

A: For Symmetric tensors you can look at this answer . I'll provide an outline for alternating tensors as I cannot find a proper link right now
Given a basis $\{e_{1},...,e_{n}\}$ of $V$.
Define $\{E^{1},...,E^{n}\}$ the dual basis corresponding to $\{e_{1},...,e_{n}\}$.
for a multi-index $(i_{1},...,i_{k})= I$ such that $1\leq i_{j}\leq n$ for all $j=1,2,...,k$.
Define $$E^{I}(v_{1},...,v_{n})=\begin{vmatrix} E^{i_{1}}(v_{1})& E^{i_{2}}(v_{1})&\cdots& E^{i_{k}}(v_{1}) \\ \vdots&\vdots&\cdots & \vdots \\ E^{i_{1}}(v_{k})&E^{i_{2}}(v_{k})&\cdots &E^{i_{k}}(v_{k})\end{vmatrix}$$
Then you can prove that $\{E^{I}:i_{1}<i_{2}<...<i_{k}\}$ forms a basis for alternating forms .
That is you can express any alternating form as $$\sum^{\text{increasing}}_{I}c_{I}E^{I}$$ . That is you are summing over all increasing multi-indices.
And that the above set is linearly independent.
The cardinality is precisely $\dbinom{n}{k}$ as there are precisely $\dbinom{n}{k}$ many ways to pick and arrange $k$ numbers out of $n$ and arrange in increasing order.
For more details(complete proof) see John M Lee's introduction to smooth manifolds chapter 14.

Q: H2O cluster uneven distribution of performance usage I set up a cluster with a 4 core (2GHz) and a 16 core (1.8GHz) virtual machine. The creation and connection to the cluster works without problems. But now I want to do some deep learning on the cluster, where I see an uneven distribution for the performance usage of those two virtual machines. The one with 4 cores is always at 100% CPU usage while the 16 core machine is idle most of the time.
Do I have to make additional configuration during the cluster generation? Because it is odd for me that the stronger machine of the two is idle while the weaker one does all the work.
Best regards,
Markus

A: Two things to keep in mind here.

*

*Your data needs to be large enough to take advantage of data parallelism. In particular, the number of chunks per column needs to be large enough for all the cores to have work to do.  See this answer for more details:  H2O not working on parallel

*H2O-3 assumes your nodes are symmetric.  It doesn't try to load balance work across the cluster based on capability of the nodes.  Faster nodes will finish their work first and wait idle for the slower nodes to catch up.  (You can see this same effect if you have two symmetric nodes but one of them is busy running another process.)
Asymmetry is a bigger problem for memory (where smaller nodes can run out of memory and fail entirely) than it is for CPU (where some nodes are just waiting around).  So always make sure to start each H2O node with the same value of -Xmx.
You can limit the number of cores H2O uses with the -nthreads option.  So you can try giving each of your two nodes -nthreads 4 and see if they behave more symmetrically with each using roughly four cores.  In the case you describe, that would mean the smaller machine is roughly 100% utilized and the larger machine is roughly 25% utilized.  (But since the two machines probably have different chips, the cores are probably not identical and won't balance perfectly, which is OK.)
[I'm ignoring the virtualization aspect completely, but CPU shares could also come into the picture depending on the configuration of your hypervisor.]

Flashback 15 to 20 years ago.
In 1988- Chuck Robb- a popular former Governor of VA gets elected to the US Senate by a landslide margin. Robb's popularity declines due to scandal- he wins re-election in 1994 with less than 50% of the popular vote in a 3 way race against Ollie North and Marshall Coleman.
In 1993- George Allen-(R) wins the VA Governors race over Mary Sue Terry by a landslide margin. Allen-R won the 2000 VA US Senate Race unseating Chuck Robb-D. Allen loose his Senate Seat in 2006 due to Macaca.

The newly-elected national leadership of the ANC Youth League has been requested to consider taking legal action against the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) for allegedly stealing the league's economic programme.
The request was made on Sunday afternoon by the KwaZulu-Natal provincial secretary of the league, Thanduxolo Sabelo. He was speaking during a presentation of resolutions to the league's national leadership at its national conference held at the Gallagher Estate conference centre in Midrand.
He said the EFF stole the "economic freedom in our lifetime" programme from the league. "Our programme has been hijacked," Sabelo said.
North West MEC for Local Government and Human Settlements Collen Maine was elected new president of the league at the conference, which started on Friday.
The position of deputy president went to ANCYL Mpumalanga chairperson Desmond Moela. KwaZulu-Natal regional secretary Njabulo Nzuza become the sectretary-general, while Thandi Moraka from Limpopo got the nod to become deputy secretary-general.
The position of treasurer-general went to Reggie Nkabinde, an ANCYL leader from Gauteng.
The three-day gathering was expected to end later on Sunday.


More than 250 delegates from six continents are in Lafayette with music-related questions on their minds. What if artists weren't starving? Can cities offer affordable housing for their music makers? How can music make cities fairer?
These subjects and more will be probed at the Music Cities Convention, set for Thursday and Friday at the Acadiana Center for the Arts in downtown Lafayette. This international conference, which has been held in Germany, Ireland and Australia, is making its third appearance in the United States. Washington, D.C., and Memphis have been previous American host cities.
Delegates from music, government, education and other specialties will discuss ways that cities like Lafayette, known as music hubs, can improve the quality of life for artists and residents. Lafayette Mayor-President Joel Robideaux is looking forward to meeting with representatives from other cities and the music industry.
"Not every city has the ability to go down this path, to build a cultural economy with strategic investments," said Robideaux. "We're blessed that it exists already.
Kate Durio, an assistant to the mayor and CREATE, the Culture, Recreation, Entertainment Arts, Tourism and Economy initiative, said ideas and practices used by other cities could be implemented here in a variety of ways.
Besides Durio, other local panelists include Anya Burgess of SOLA Violins, Johnathan Williams of Quality of Life Services and Ryan Cazares of the Musical Instrument Library.
National and international speakers include Al Bell, former chairman and owner of Stax Records; music producer Pena Schmidt of Brazil; Laura Simpson, co-founder and CEO of Side Door of Canada; and Greg DeShields, executive director of PHLDiversity, a division of the Philadelphia Convention and Visitors Bureau, Tourism and Hospitality.
Lt. Gov. Billy Nungesser will give an address, "Music, Tourism, Louisiana and Growth." Lil Nate and the Zydeco Big Timers perform during Thursday's lunch break.
Ben Berthelot, president of the Lafayette Convention and Visitors Commission, will be on hand to welcome guests. Berthelot and his team attended previous conventions and were instrumental in bringing the conference to Lafayette.
He said the CREATE initiative gave the city an advantage.
"They thought it was a model that others can use," said Berthelot. "I think that tipped us in the right direction, as far as getting the conference. It certainly was a community-wide effort.
"CREATE has been very involved in helping the programming and ensuring that we put our best foot forward with a great first impression. The dialogue that's going to take place will help us to move forward.


This sandwich makes an ideal pre-exercise meal due to its high content of carbohydrate and protein (from the egg). The protein helps lower the GI of the meal, which will produce longer-lasting energy. The watercress is rich in iron and folic acid, important for healthy red blood cells and oxygen delivery around the body. Low fat mayonnaise is a good source of monounsaturated fats, which aids aerobic metabolism during exercise.
Bring a large pan of water to the boil. Lower in the egg and cook for 5 - 6min for medium-boiled.
Remove the egg from the pan with a large spoon, peel and place in a bowl with the mayonnaise, watercress, mustard and freshly ground black pepper. Mash with a fork.
Meanwhile, toast the Focaccia on both sides under a hot grill, then spread with butter (optional). Place 1 heaped teaspoon of the egg mixture on each toast round and finish with freshly ground black pepper.

[. . .] 482). Stress therefore must be considered a critical factor with regard to police violence and use of excessive force.
Gallup poll conducted in March of 1991 suggested that 20% of citizens knew someone who had been "mistreated" or abused by police" and estimates of excessive force from observational studies "range from 1.05 to 5.1% of citizen contacts" (Alpert & Smith, 1994, p. 482). Other studies suggest that excessive force may be used more frequently. The aim of this study will be in part to examine to what extent use of excessive force is problematic.
Some studies suggest that police are out of control and use excessive force in unnecessary situations (Maier, 2000, p. 10). There is a large body of research to support this opinion. The survey conducted will in part measure public opinion regarding this issue.
The total number of excessive police reactions noted in the media in the last 14 years surpasses the records set by previous violent riots during the 60s (Hale & Ross, 2000, p. 2).
There is much evidence to suggests that acts of police violence and excessive force are often similar, but the consequences are often different; according to some researchers "when police engage in violence it is uncertain whether individuals, groups and institutions remain passive or press for changes in the system" (Hale & Ross, 2000, p. 2). At best, one may conclude at present there is little known about the variety of responses to incidents of police use of force and the actual number of instances where excessive force may be used.
The preliminary literature review suggests that excessive use of force by police agencies is very much an issue in modern society. The goal of this study will be to examine the outcome, impacts and implications of such violence for the future.

UDP Decision Is More Supreme Than Mine-Lawyer Darboe
By Kebba Ansu Manneh	 On Nov 7, 2019 1,378
Ousainou Darboe
Ousainou Darboe, leader of the United Democratic Party (UDP), has disclosed that decisions reached by the party supersedes his personal stance as far as national issues are concerned. Arguing that if the party takes the decision for President Barrow to adhere to the three year promise and step down in December, he has no power to overrule that decision made by the UDP.
Darboe made this statement at a press conference hosted by the United Democratic Party (UDP) where the party called on President Adama Barrow to surrender the affairs of the country as agreed by Coalition 2016 Stakeholders.
Coalition 2016 is composed of eight opposition political parties including one independent candidate. The creation of the coalition led to the defeat of President Yahya Jammeh in the 2016 presidential election, bringing an end to Jammeh's 22 year rule.
"This is the first time UDP as a party is making a statement on this issue and the party's decision is more supreme than my personal decision. It took three days for the party to arrive at this decision because there were a lot of debate among us (executives) before we arrived at this decision and in any case, I, Ousainou Darboe cannot overrule the decision of the party", Darboe explained.
According to Darboe, his personal views may differ from the statement made by the party, adding that this is the first time UDP has come out to make a statement to call on President Barrow to respect the will of the people as agreed by the Coalition 2016.
Opposition Coalition 2016 that ended the 22-year-rule of Yahya Jammeh
The UDP party leader revealed at the press conference that when he proposed Dr. Isatou Touray as an individual to nominate as the party's flag-bearer it was President Barrow himself who first challenged his decision, questioning whether it was only Ousainou who can make a decision in UDP.
"President Barrow's questioning of whether I am the only one to make decisions shows that, I, Ousainou Darboe cannot dictate the party on the selection of a Presidential flag-bearer. I cannot dictate the party and I cannot dictate the party to adopt my position at all," Darboe emphatically stated.
Darboe said the pending question that needs to be addressed is whether President Barrow will step-down by December and organize a fresh election as agreed by the Coalition 2016 Stakeholders, adding that UDP as a party is urging President Barrow to respect this agreement.
"Let me say that one character of a good leader is adhering, respecting and promises you made are fulfilled. For me any leader that does not respect his promises to the people is deceitful and I don't think Gambia wants any leader that is deceitful, I think Gambia wants leaders that will respect and fulfill promises that they made irrespective of what the consequences are," Darboe.
Darboe (left) and Barrow in the good old days before their feud
Darboe said UDP may consider it necessary to change their current position if President Adama Barrow supposedly called for a national dialogue. Adding that if there is a national dialogue and reasonable suggestions comes in a responsible manner UDP may take part in the discourse.
Further responding to questions, the UDP party leader said the impact of a political party can only be felt when it is in power, promising that when UDP comes into power it will deliver the "New Gambia" that was promised.
He made references to the quality of leadership demonstrated by currently elected UDP mayors and chairmen across the country, an indication that a UDP elected President will do what is expected of him or her from Gambians.

Tony Ibeneme says 1 year ago
If truly lawyer Darboe is a lawyer and knows the supremacy of a country's constitution over and above any other agreements of any group then he should back out again MR. Darboe and his men should know that it was not only the UDP that voted president Barrow into office but the majority of the Gambian people therefore no one has the right to tell democratically elected president of a country to step down! What arrogance. This is a slap to the constitution of this great nation! Let us be very careful because things like this brings about war in a nation.

Strange, everything doesn't quite seem so simple anymore.
You tell Ander, Diavlous Knight, "How the hell do you do 100 damage with a sabre DSL?"
Ander tells you, "I eat my wheaties."
That bit there is your hint. It looks like you're not even wearing armour.
I had runes, truesilver shield and terrais form up, which = something like 20% armor and 40% resist.
Well, something wasn't going right. Out of a possible 100 damage he did 96. That's 4% resist. You probably did something wrong.
He's a Dwarf, was he berserking?
Yeah.. no. He's Athletic, so strength probably wouldn't be a HUGE factor (attributes come AFTER raw is calculated.. for some reason). Judging by the context you'd already been taking hits - sensitivity, maybe? Even with stoneskin+runes+terrais you're not even going to clear 40% resist, and shields count as armor so you're getting a few points at most out of that. Sensitivity would easily push it that high, but so might 16 strength.
That's my resists in Terrais form with runes and artifact shield.
Yeah, probably sensitivity after doing a little number crunching and testing. I forgot just how bad the strength conversion on DSL is (really, really bad).
So bad, that if it were less bad, I'd go out and grab some level 3 Strength gauntlets (cause dems cheap now!) and enjoy some Claymore loving!

Xbox One SDK Update allows developers more eSRAM Control.
The recomended PC specs for Dying Light have already been released on Steam and we know that the Game will run at 1080p at 30 FPS on both the Xbox One and the PS4.
Techland, the developer behind Dying Light has said that the reason they were able to run both the PS4 and Xbox One versions at the same framerates and resolution is because they have been able to utilise the eSRAM in the Xbox One more effectively. This additional eSRAM control, and the performance gains that have come with it, is due to Decembers Xbox One SDK Update.
With more control over the Xbox One's eSRAM the performance gap between the Xbox One and the PS4 has became narrower, that being said the PS4's extra performance comes in the form of additional GPU cores and faster GDDR5 memory instead of using eSRAM, which requires much more work to properly utilise.
Larger Developers will have the time and the expertise to properly Utilise the Xbox One's eSRAM, but smaller less experienced developers will still see the PS4 as a much stronger console. With continued improvement to the Xbox One the performance gap with the PS4 is getting narrower and narrower, the question now is will Sony have a response to this?
Join the discussion on the Xbox One's SDK Update on the OC3D Forums.
No amount black magic voodoo will EVER make up for 50% less shader power compared to the PS4. The XB1 will hit 1% better performance with DX12 and another 1% with this SRAM update to counter the negative effect of slow DDR3.
All this is meaningless anyway as BOTH console are already completely obsolete. If in 2015 you can't run DX11 code at 1080P with all the bells and whistles maxed out (drawing distance, level of details, anti aliasing etc...) at a steady 60FPS, then as a gaming device, you are worthless. DX11 API was lauched in 2008, ***7 YEARS AGO***.
I have to agree with Ramon on this one, gaming consoles have become so obsolete its a shame that they under perform so massively compared to PC.
People do not want to splash out anything higher than 400GBP on a console so in a way console companies are forced to work around this set back by providing perhaps not even second grade hardware.
Console companies definitely need to rethink their business model for the coming generations, they may have gotten away with it by the skin of their teeth this time but next time I think they may not be so lucky.
"Techland, the developer behind Dying Light has said that the reason they were able to run both the PS4 and Xbox One versions at the same framerates and resolution is because they have been able to utilise the eSRAM in the Xbox One more effectively. This additional eSRAM control, and the performance gains that have come with it, is due to Decembers Xbox One SDK Update."
Did you not read the article? That's pretty impressive i must say. Made up for 50% performance did it not? DDR3 will always be a factor when it comes down to how much raw data needs to be tossed around, that i won't disagree with. Still however means that the eSRAM can now be used to greater lengths to help aide in serious data restricted moments. Key word here is moments though since there is only 32MB of it. Hard to contend with 5GB of GDDR5 at all times.
