Boutique, award-winner festival, Festival no.6 is now only a few week away and this year's line-up is pretty amazing if I say so myself! In 2016 Portmeirion will play host to the likes of Hot Chip, Bastille and Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds just to name a few. No.6 will also be a foodies paradise with amazing food stalls and banquets prepared by some of the finest chefs. Ahead of the event, I have prepared a guide to some of the best acts set out to play this year. Keep reading for more details.
Blossoms is a band from Greater Manchester and all its members were in other bands before forming. As a band the five boys have been busy recording and touring in order to build their fan base. These boys aren't reinventing the wheel but what they do is a really good pop-rock sound.
Unless you have been living under a rock you will have heard of Blossoms, a band that has been hotly tipped by almost any publication this year. The critics were right as the band has succeeded in gaining more and more fame in 2016.
When asked about their influences the answers are surprising at times with the band quoting the likes of Arctic Monkeys, Abba and Oasis. When asked about those, singer Tom Ogden says that like other Manchester band's, "We're working-class, five lads just doing it because we love doing it".
Ogden and drummer Joe Donovan have been best mates ever since a school trip to Alton Towers aged 13 and were model pupils attending school 100% of the time. The rest of the band joined as the years went by and finally the band was formed and named after a local pub The Blossoms. So far this year Blossoms have played The Great Escape, Glastonbury and still to go Reading and Leeds festival, Electric Picnic, which would seem enough but the band is topping it off with a mammoth tour which will start in September and finish in December!
Festival no.6 takes place in Wales between 1st and 4th September.

Millburn seniors can take one of these sitting down
Chair yoga, game day and Tai Chi are among the upcoming offerings for senior citizens in Millburn.
Yoga classes and a game day are among next month's offerings for senior citizens in Millburn.
Millburn Senior Citizens Coordinator Jaimee Hawkins has announced the slate of upcoming offerings for the beginning of 2018.
Chair yoga is a 12-week exercise program offering easy-to-do poses, including breath control, simple meditation, and the adoption of specific bodily postures used for health and relaxation. No prior knowledge of yoga is necessary.
Classes are held Wednesdays from 11 a.m. to noon starting on Jan. 17 in the Bauer Community Center in Taylor Park. Registration is mandatory. There is a $64 fee for the 12-week session.
Game on:Youths check one another out at Millburn library
Biz:Millburn business group OKs 2018 officers, legal funds
Tai Chi is a gentle six-week exercise program suitable for most people. It has been shown to improve balance and reduce stress. Sun style Tai Chi is a series of gentle, graceful movements linked together in a continuous, smooth-flowing sequence.
Each session consists of warm-up energy exercises, called qigong, to loosen joints and improve energy circulation.
The Sun style Tai Chi class, taught by an Arthritis Foundation-certified instructor, will be held in the Bauer Community Center in Taylor Park on Tuesdays from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. starting on Jan. 9. There is a $27 fee for the six-week session.
Tai Chi Chih will be offered in a 12-week session to senior citizens on Thursdays starting on Jan. 25 at 10:30 a.m. Tai Chi Chih helps by circulating and balancing the essential inner energy. Known to its practitioners as "the effort of no effort," Tai Chi Chih differs from the recognized Tai Chi styles as it is not a martial art, but is based on similar principles.
It includes standalone gentle flowing movements performed in repetition that make up a meditative form of exercise to which practitioners attribute physical, personal and spiritual health benefits. There is a $54 fee for the 12-week session.
Registration forms for the above programs are available at the Customer Service Department in Millburn Town Hall, 375 Millburn Ave., the Bauer Community Center in Taylor Park, or on the Millburn Township website, twp.millburn.nj.us/seniordocuments.
Game day
On Friday, Jan. 19, the Office of the Senior Citizen Coordinator will host a "Senior Game Day" from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in the Bauer Community Center in Taylor Park. The event will include billiards, ping-pong and air hockey.
Other tables will be set up with games such as checkers, chess, and cards. In addition, representatives from the Millburn Health Department will be available from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. for free blood pressure screenings.
There is no fee or registration necessary.
For more information, contact Hawkins at 973-564-7091 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Today (04-February-2016) an magnitude 3,1 earthquake took place in south Tjörnes Fracture Zone. I don't know if this earthquake was felt in nearby village of Kópasker.
The earthquake swarm on Tjörnes Fracture Zone, the green star is the magnitude 3,1 earthquake. Copyright of this image belongs to Iceland Met Office.
This earthquake swarm has now been going on for almost a month now and there doesn't seems to be any sign of this earthquake swarm stopping any time soon. The activity drops at times, but always continues, even at low levels. Activity did increase after the magnitude 3,1 earthquake, but it has since dropped again into the same low it was before. I do expect this earthquake activity to continue.

Daily Social Media Posting Checklist
- May 3, 2013
- Social Media
If you are anything like me, you need to have a structure or a schedule that you follow and stick to every day, otherwise I tend to go off down a million different rabbit holes. I'm a SEEKER…always seeking new things, new information, new ideas…I can't help it! So, since I typically have an unrealistic number of things to accomplish each day, I have to set up checklists and schedules for myself to keep me on track, especially when it comes to social media, which can really be a time-sucker. Here's a schedule I whipped up for anyone that manages social media for their business to help you get into a routine. Just remember the number "3" to keep it simple. This will prevent you from getting off track. I also recommend doing ALL of this from a single social media management dashboard. This is VERY important! There are several of them out there, including Hootsuite, Sendible, Shoutlet and others.)
These tasks are divided between general daily tasks you should aim for and specific tasks per major social network.
- Review status updates maximum 3 times per day (15 minutes at a time)
- Ask 3 questions – in separate social networks
- Answer at least 3 questions, whether directed to you or in general
- Comment on or reply to at least three status updates
- Add at least 3 new contacts or follow new people
- Add at least 3 status updates of your own
- Schedule at least 3 tweets, retweets, or links to share (WEEKLY)
- Reply to at least 3 people (DAILY)
- Follow at least 3 new people (DAILY)
- Post at least 3 status updates (WEEKLY – schedule ahead)
- Comment on and "like" at least 3 status updates (DAILY)
- Share at least 3 images (can share other people's, doesn't have to always be yours)
- Comment on posts in at least 3 groups (WEEKLY)
- Add 3 new contacts (WEEKLY)
- Add at least 3 new status updates of your own (general or in groups)
- Post at least 3 updates (WEEKLY)
- Comment on and/or +1 at least 3 other people's updates (DAILY)
- Add at least 3 new people to your circles (WEEKLY)
- Pin at least 3 new images or videos to your boards (WEEKLY)
- Repin at least 3 pins from others (DAILY)
- Comment on and "like" at least pins from others (DAILY)

12 Best Finger Vibrators To Pack Into Your Overnight Now
They're the easiest way to turn up sex (or a solo sesh).
If there's any one sex toy that's entirely underrated, it's the finger vibrator.
I'll start with the obvious: The finger vibrator—which is a little motorized vibe that slips directly onto one finger or between two of them—is super discreet and affordable (akin to its even prettier cousin, the lipstick vibrator). It makes touching yourself during sex incredibly easy (thank G, for all those ladies who need some clitoral stimulation to orgasm), and it's basically foolproof to use.
"It extends your finger and gives it the vibration, so the vibrator becomes an extension of your body," says Laurie Mintz, PhD, a therapist, professor of human sexuality at the University of Florida, author of Becoming Cliterate. Because of this, a finger vibrator is a great option for toy novices—it's more natural-feeling for those who've traditionally used just their hands during masturbation (or sex) but want to level up the sensation, Mintz explains.
Now, when you're shopping around for the finger vibrator, don't just pick the first one you see. Sorta like picking out a diamond ring, you want to choose one that suits you best. It's mostly up to personal preference, but ideally you want one made with high-grade, body-safe silicone material, says Mintz. You may even like a waterproof version for some hydro-infused play in the shower, she adds.
So ready to go...sexy ring shopping? One of these 12 best finger vibrators might strike your fancy.
It's no coincidence that this finger vibrator is shaped kind of like a rocket. Its 12 modes—which are almost unheard of for a finger vibrator, Mintz says—will get you ready for blastoff. All women prefer different speeds, she adds, and this vibrator can serve you tempo à la carte.
Even between 10 different vibration modes, this finger vibe stays pretty quiet, wherever you choose to cart it. It's meant to fit between your index and middle fingers for experimenting during solo play or adding extra clitoral stimulation during sex with a partner.
The product tagline is "Show bad sex the finger," and this is exactly what this toy will do. All you do is slip it onto your middle finger (ha) and play with the buttons on the side to program it between five intensity levels.
Make foreplay a choose-your-own-adventure game: You can use the vibe with the tether for more stability over your two fingers, or you can go for it with just the main mini part instead. Then, you can flip-flop between the pointy and squishy sides of the toy, depending on how you're feeling. Options!
Here's a basic solo-play ring that's a solid bargain ($7, are you kidding?!), and it'll take up hardly any space in your purse (perfect for weekends at their place). The battery lasts for 30 minutes, which should be more than enough time for you.
The GLUVR is a toy that's meant to work double time. It fits like a glove over your thumb and index fingers so that you can go for your clit and G-spot in one shot (how smart!). Plus, it's completely waterproof in case you want to get experimental and try it in a shower or bathtub.
Frisky Fingers keeps it simple but with an edge: The toy slides onto one finger for easy play, while its raised nubs add some additional friction to boost stimulation. It's also a great budget option, cashing in at just $11.
No, this is not a mini kettlebell! Simply slip multiple fingers through the handle, rest the main part of the vibe in your palm, then switch between seven different pulsation modes until you get yours.
Yup, this one's designed to look like a tongue, and its super-soft silicone texture mimics it, too. However, unlike your partner's mouth, the Pyxis has extra ridges to add intensity. Plus, the motor is surprisingly quiet for a vibrator. Just cup it around your fingertip, and go to town.
Think of this as your travel-bag vibrator (and it's just as important to remember as those mini toothpaste tubes). It's especially designed to take down-there play for you and your partner (yep, I'm talking hand jobs, people) to the next level, and it's shower-safe, too.
This contraption gives you two fingers to play with, and you can take those two fingers wherever your imagination takes you. You can even use one pulsating tip on your partner during sex while you use the other on yourself.
It may look like an innocent little bunny, but this rabbit can accomplish much naughtier things. The tail fits between your middle and index fingers, while the nose and ears are designed to go to work down below. It fluctuates between nine patterns and three speeds so you can have it exactly your way.

The Japanese word for KitKat, "Kitto Katto" sounds like the Japanese expression meaning good luck (or literal translation, surely win) "Kitto Katsu". Because of this, the candy has become a popular treat for students, especially before and around the time of exams. The candy maker Nestle has taken advantage of their popularity by creating dozens of unique KitKat flavors in Japan. There have been more than 300 limited-edition seasonal and regional flavors of KitKat produced in Japan since 2000, and I have to say, some of them might be a little too unique. Let's look at a few.
Because who doesn't want their dinner in the form of a candy bar!
Now. This could either taste like cherry or a tree.
Soybeans are good for you… So would this be considered eating healthy?
Time to get your Halloween on!
Why drink it, when you can eat it!
Mmmm… bean paste candy…
A fruity explosion in your mouth!
These crazy KitKats are far different than the original chocolate covered wafer that most people are used to. What flavor would you like to try, or what is your favorite flavor of KitKat? Comment below!
Thanks for reading! ~ Angie Maru

The Flyers will start today's game against the Penguins a bit more shorthanded than usual.
Courtesy of CSNPhilly.com, the Flyers will be without defenseman Andreas Lilja and forward Maxime Talbot as they both left yesterday's game against Boston with separate injuries. Lilja has an upper-body affliction while Talbot hurt his shoulder after fighting Johnny Boychuk.
In Lilja's place, the Flyers called up youngster Brandon Manning. Having to deal with Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin won't make life easy for the youngster at all. Jody Shelley takes Talbot's spot in the lineup to give them a bit more toughness.

Can social media shutdowns work?
When news broke that six sites, including churches, hotels and housing complexes, had been bombed on Easter Sunday, the Sri Lankan government acted swiftly.
Following the terrorist attacks, which had killed more than 300 people as of this publication, government officials blocked several social media sites in an attempt to stop the potential spread of misinformation. The New York Times reported that the ban included Facebook, WhatsApp, YouTube, Instagram, Snapchat and Viber.
While extraordinary, the unilateral decision to block social media platforms during national crises is not a new tactic in Southeast Asia.
In October, Wired wrote about how turning off the internet had become a strategy favored by the Indian government to slow the spread of misinformation that could lead to violence. Last year's shutdowns, which came after dozens of civilians were killed in lynch mobs following the spread of rumors on WhatsApp, have cost the country billions of dollars and are more frequent than in any other country, according to Freedom House.
Sri Lanka has borrowed that strategy from India. The former country shut down the internet for two days last March when misinformation about communal riots spread on social media, resulting in violence targeting the Muslim minority. Two people died, Freedom House reported.
In her New York Times column this week, Kara Swisher said her first thought about the Sri Lanka shutdown was "good," though later she acknowledged that it wouldn't work in the end. Meanwhile, observers at outlets like The Verge, BuzzFeed and Wired wrote that the ban is a serious overreach of government power that could have ramifications for civil liberties in Sri Lanka.
"If the current U.S. government blocked all access to social networks after a terrorist attack, we would rail against the move as an authoritarian outrage," Casey Newton wrote in his newsletter for The Verge on Monday. "When other countries do it, we ought to be just as suspicious."
There's ample evidence to back up Newton and others' concerns about the use of internet shutdowns. Exhibit A is how governments around the world have co-opted fears about misinformation to legislate against the mainstream media.
And does shutting off social media platforms or the internet altogether even slow the spread of misinformation in the first place? Not really.
"The first day, it was effective as very little came out from Sri Lanka. But even despite the ban (I am not sure if it's still in place) there is lots of disinformation being shared," Uzair Hasan Rizvi, a fact-checker for the Agence France-Presse, said in a message. "Some of them are even trying to incite anti-Muslim sentiments by sharing old videos claiming it to be after the attacks. This could have serious repercussions."
On Wednesday, AFP debunked a bogus photo, shared thousands of times on Facebook, that claimed to show the youngest victim of Sunday's attacks. Rizvi said he's working on four more fact checks that debunk social media misinformation about the attacks — and he expects to keep finding bogus claims over the next several days in spite of the ban.
BuzzFeed News also reported that the social media ban in Sri Lanka probably had little effect on the overall spread of misinformation following last weekend's terror attacks. Reporter Jane Lytvynenko spoke to a Sri Lankan researcher who found that past bans were quickly circumvented by Facebook users who would use virtual private networks (VPNs).
Then there's the fact that, once the government shuts down social media platforms, it's not only misinformers who are affected. The reach of work from fact-checkers and journalists — which rely on the platforms to reach their audiences — could tank, too. That means valuable fact checks and context about a developing breaking news story are lost.
From what he can tell, Rizvi said he hasn't seen the Sri Lankan social media ban affect AFP's engagement numbers in any meaningful way. But the possibility is still there — and in the future, fact-checkers with a less global reach could see their work buried while misinformation continues to circumvent the defense mechanisms of governments and the platforms.
. . . technology
- In its latest monthly report on the big social media platforms, the European Union called on Facebook, Google and Twitter to do more to fight misinformation ahead of next month's parliamentary election.
- Relatedly, Twitter is encouraging users to flag misinformation in the EU and Indian elections as part of its efforts to head off threats to electoral integrity. Here's The Washington Post's take, and here'sTwitter's own blog post on the move.
- Last week, Facebook added Science Feedback and The Daily Caller's Check Your Fact to its fact-checking program. The addition of the latter outlet caused backlash from liberal media commentators online, pointing out that its parent organization frequently publishes hyperpartisan right-wing content. Here's howthe IFCN responded.
. . . politics
- NBC News wrote about how a network of more than 5,000 bots amplified false claims that the Mueller report was a media hoax aimed at tarnishing the reputation of President Donald Trump. So much for Twitter's efforts to limit the influence of automated accounts.
- The advocacy group Avaaz alerted Facebook to three far-right networks that were publishing "inauthentic behavior" aimed at spreading divisive content ahead of Spain's elections this Sunday.TechCrunch quoted Christoph Schott, campaign director at Avaaz, as saying Facebook did a great job in removing the pages, but "these networks are likely just the tip of the disinformation iceberg — and if Facebook doesn't scale up, such operations could sink democracy across the continent."
- Singapore's anti-misinformation bill will likely become law in the second half of this year, Bloomberg reported. The Agence France-Presse reported that nearly 100 academics have expressed concern over the legislation, saying it could threaten academic freedom in the city.
. . . the future of news
- Remember Alexios, the former co-author of this newsletter? Yeah, we don't either — but Wired wrote about the project that he's working on with Claire Wardle at TED. Its mission: "to bring the power of crowdsourcing to the fight against misinformation online."
- NewsGuard has expanded its site credibility ranking system to the United Kingdom. For more context on the project, and what it hopes to accomplish, read this excellent Slate piece from January.
- Several social media companies have deplatformed anti-vaccine conspiracy theories for the threat they pose to public health.Should libraries do the same?
Each week, we analyze five of the top-performing fact checks on Facebook to see how their reach compared to the hoaxes they debunked. Read more about this week's numbers, and how out-of-context news content spreads misinformation on social media, here.
- Liputan 6: "TV Abroad Has Reported 'Prabowo Subianto The Next President'?" (Fact: 67.9K engagements // Fake: 18K engagements)
- PolitiFact: "No, there was not a man 'dressed in Muslim garb' walking in a Notre Dame tower during the fire" (Fact: 5.7K engagements // Fake: 1.4K engagements)
- Les Décodeurs: "No, Emmanuel Macron and Edouard Philippe were not 'laughing in front of Notre Dame'" (Fact: 3K engagements // Fake: 9.1K engagements)
- Agência Lupa: "It is false that Ciro Gomes is no longer Minister of Finance 'for incompetence'" (Fact: 1.4K engagements // Fake: 1.8K engagements)
- India Today Fact Check: "Fact Check: How Rahul Gandhi's translator gave armour to opponents" (Fact: 792 engagements // Fake: 22 engagements)
We liked PolitiFact's piece detailing eight instances in which last week's report from Special Counsel Robert Mueller showed President Trump or White House officials had spread false or misleading claims.
The Mueller report was a treasure trove for fact-checkers. They checked the report against what President Trump has said in past tweets and in person. They came up with some new angles.
They used it to confirm that certain conspiracy theories, were, in fact, just that (to wit: the Seth Rich murder). They checked it against the "dossier." And they used it to help the public understand what was, and wasn't, consistent with what the president has said about obstruction of justice. A good example here is Factcheck.org's explainer.
To be sure, the report was itself the subject of hoaxes and misinformation circulated in the days after its release, as BuzzFeed reported.
But mostly it was a catalyst of good journalism, and (Poynter-owned) PolitiFact's day-after rundown was among the most impressive.
What we liked: Within 24 hours of the report's release, PolitiFact's Miriam Valverde had compiled several examples showing the ways in which the report contradicted prominent Trump tweets or statements from his aides.We know falsehoods are not unusual in this White House, but this piece didn't try to be comprehensive. It very straightforwardly presented eight examples in which the White House officials or Trump himself simply gave out false information.
In Turkey, major TV stations keep airing bogus photos and videoswithout fact-checking them. Meanwhile, says Foreign Policy: Russia has won the information war in Turkey.
Bloomberg profiled Boom Live's fact-checking team, which has been busy debunking hoaxes about the Indian election.
A new conference about misinformation will be held in London this year. And it's accepting paper submissions.
Meghan Markle has been the subject of online conspiracy theories over her pregnancy, among other things, The Daily Beast reported, quoting one correspondent who covers the royals as being surprised by "the amount of bile and vitriol thrown her way."
Factcheck.org won a 2019 "Webby" award in the news and politics category.
BuzzFeed News has a new video series aimed at debunking misinformation on YouTube and other social media platforms.
Twitter is hiring a senior policy researcher to "to increase the health of the public conversation, the integrity of information and customer trust."
The Conversation wrote about why misinformation is so insidious for the human mind.
Weeks after fakery plagued its presidential election, misinformationis threatening to worsen ethnic divisions in Nigeria.
- Voice of America wrote about Taiwanese lawmakers' attempts to pass an anti-misinformation law — and how it could affect the mainstream media.

Is Ontario's widely welcomed new accountability and transparency act being nibbled to death by ducks? That's what Progressive Conservative House Leader Steve Clark would have us believe.
He blew the whistle after Premier Kathleen Wynne's government passed a regulation excluding police boards from examination by the provincial ombudsman's office.
Clark is right. At a time when fallout from police abuses at the G20 summit meeting in 2010 are still being felt and the debate about "carding" still rages, more oversight of police would have been most welcome.
The government never actually promised that police boards would be included under the act. But they should be.
Ombudsman André Marin clearly thinks they should. He wrote an opinion piece in the Star last year noting that Ontario was decades behind other provinces in giving its ombudsman jurisdiction over municipalities, universities, school boards — and police.
Treasury Board President Deb Matthews disagrees. In defending the regulation that excludes police boards from the ombudsman's purview, she said oversight by the Ontario Civilian Police Commission is enough.
Matthews doesn't make a persuasive case. It's more likely that the government is bowing to pressure from the many police services boards that requested exemption from the act.
Further, what other public bodies will ask for exemptions? The legislation was passed only in December and already the government is watering down its potential with its regulation to exclude police boards.
Significantly, the government's move is a far cry from the spirit of comments made by both Wynne and Matthews when the legislation was introduced, supporting oversight and accountability of public boards. "An important part of my job will be leading the government's efforts in strengthening accountability and opening up all levels of government, including our agencies and the board public sector," Matthews said at the time.
Indeed, when the legislation was first tabled it was hailed as a breath of fresh air that promised more open, accountable and accessible government. In addition to giving Marin's office oversight of municipalities, universities and school boards, it improved reporting requirements for lobbyists and addressed conflicts of interest and increased fines for violations. It forced MPPs to post their expenses online.
In short, the legislation accomplished much to ensure more transparency and accountability from our government and public bodies.
Now the government has excluded police boards without offering a convincing explanation. It should reverse the regulation it just adopted and include police boards under the act.

Zimbabwe's largest beverages maker, Delta Corporation, registered a 114 percent growth in revenue for the first quarter to June 2021, in inflation adjusted terms, on volumes recovery driven by relaxed Covid-19 restrictions.
The manufacturer of leading brands like Castle lager, Zambezi lager, Pilsener, Coca Cola and Chibuku (scud/super) in Zimbabwe, said on a historical basis, total revenue was 391 percent better than prior year.
But Delta noted that the resurgence of Covid-19 infections driven by virulent and transmissible mutations had resulted in the re-imposition of various levels of lockdowns and restrictions on business activities.
In what Delta felt may once again negatively impact the recovering volumes, the group said the fresh restrictions affect business activities, particularly those related to trading or consumption of alcoholic beverages.
Delta attributed the first quarter volume recovery to a low base the group was coming from following relaxation of restrictions imposed by the Government to contain Covid-19, which weighed down prior year volumes.
Company secretary Alex Makamure said in a first quarter trading update that prior volumes were significantly curtailed by hard lockdowns imposed by the Government in light of the deadly pandemic.
"Group revenue grew by 114 percent for the quarter in inflation adjusted terms and by 391 percent in historical cost terms. This reflects the volume recovery across all beverage categories off a low prior year base," he said.
Makamure said the historical cost figures for the 2022 first quarter performance reflected lower and less frequent price increases in line with a more stable exchange rate as well as lower inflation in Zimbabwe.
Lager beer volume for the quarter grew by 139 percent compared to the prior year. The volume is trending up, benefiting from competitive pricing, consistent product supply and injection of new returnable glass.
In Zimbabwe, the sorghum beer volume grew by 106 percent from last year. But there were some constraints in the supply of key packaging materials due to poor availability of and logistical challenges on resins on world markets.
"Some key trade channels such as bars and beer halls remained inaccessible under the prevailing COVID-19 regulations. The category is benefiting from the improved agricultural output and better access to rural markets," Makamure said.
The volume at Natbrew Zambia declined by 29 percent for the quarter, which reflected increased competition from illegal bulk beer and the restricted access to some trade channels.
However, Delta noted signs of recovery in the Zambian operation, as the business expands its product offering.
United National Breweries South Africa recorded a steely recovery, registering a promising volume growth of 361 percent over prior year. The business was largely closed in 2020 due to the ban on alcohol sales.
"The recovery (in the South African operation) has been curtailed due to the re-imposition of alcohol ban at the end of June 2021 in response to the third wave of Covid-19 infections," Makamure noted.
Sparkling beverages grew by 205 percent on the prior comparative and continued to recover market share, largely due to consistent product supply, increased social and economic activities driving consumption.
African Distillers Limited (Afdis) volume growth of 47 percent as the unit expands the route to market model to access more channels. Market supply was affected by the shortages of key imported ingredients.
At Schweppes beverages volume grew by 44 percent for the quarter on the back of improved product supply and recovery of market share in the juice drinks, as supply of juice concentrates continued to improve.
The roll out of vaccines provides hope that countries across the world will attain herd immunity national level, which will allow a return to normal levels of social and economic activity.
"There are many uncertainties that make it difficult to fully estimate the full impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the financial health of the Company and Group entities," Makamure said.
In the outlook, he said businesses in Zimbabwe will benefit from the improved agricultural output and better access to foreign currency while mass vaccinations will allow a return to reduced Covid-19 restrictions and improved business.
"Further to this, it is hoped that the monetary authorities implement their stated intentions for the auction exchange rate to reflect macro-economic developments following pronouncements made in the recent monetary policy," Makamure said.
He said nascent recovery in the Zimbabwe economy was negatively impacted by the dent in confidence in the use of foreign currency for domestic transactions arising from the policy interventions under Statutory Instrument 127 of 2021.
Delta believes there are pricing disparities arising from the wide margins between the official and market exchange rates.
The company said Zimbabwe has recorded growth in consumer disposable incomes, due to higher economic activity, driven by infrastructure spending, growth in agricultural output and increased mining activity.
In South Africa, Delta said the level of economic activity had increased in line with the easing of lockdown restrictions with output showing strong signs that things were inching up.
In Zambia, the economy experienced resurgent inflation and currency depreciation ahead of the general election scheduled for 12 August 2021. But consumer demand in that market remains constrained.

As it has been mentioned earlier the show made it's debut in 1998, and the inaugural edition of the show was hosted by the Compaq Center of Houston, Texas. Thomas & Mack Center got the privilege to host the event for the highest number of team as the Las Vegas, Nevada based side hosted both the 3rd and the 10th edition of the program. The 12th and so far the last edition took place on June 17, 2012 and Izod Center of East Rutherford, New Jersey was the venue of the show on that occasion. The main event of the show featured John Cena and The Big Show as the duo took on each other in a Steel Cage Match, which ended with a John Cena victory and as a result, John Laurinaitis was fired. It was actually Cena's 3rd main event appearance in the No Way Out. Previously "The Champ" teamed up with Shawn Michaels to take on Batista and The Undertaker in the main event of the 7th edition of the show and he also appeared in an Elimination Chamber match which was the main event of the 11th edition.
"WWE No Way Out" was a professional wrestling pay-per-view event produced by WWE. The event was created in the 1998 and started it's journey on February 15 of the very same year as an "In Your House" event. The show was actually named as the "No Way Out of Texas" on that occasion. But after a year gap, in the year 2000, the event was finally named as the No Way Out and was transformed as an annual PPV event. The show used to occupy the February month slot of the WWE PPV events. The authority arranged the event 12 times. In the very first decade of the 21st century the show was held every year between 2000-2009. After consecutive 10 editions in 10 years, the show was replaced by WWE Elimination Chamber in 2010. The name was revived for the June 2012 pay-per-view event and so far it has been the last edition of the show.

In the Shadow of the Cross
By Allen Webster
We are largely left in the dark concerning His early years. At what point He knew who He was, we do not know, but it must have been early. Mary pondered the things concerning His remarkable birth and early days in her heart (Luke 2:19) and, without doubt, shared them with Him (cf. Luke 2:40). By the age twelve He was "about his father's business" (Luke 12:49).
He grew up reading the prophecies about Himself. He saw His sacrifice implied (Genesis 4:3-5), prophesied (Genesis 22:8), typified (Exodus 12:5) and personified (Isaiah 53:7). On earth, He was identified by John (John 1:29) and verified by the apostles (Acts 8:30-35). Presently He is glorified in heaven (Revelation 5:12-13).
What was it like to grow up in the shadow of the cross? He was not isolated or sheltered from events that depicted His own future.

Dwelling is not just a family in a fine house, it is a community in a fine place.—Mindy Thompson Fullilove1
Kelleher et al2 described Nationwide Children's Hospital's use of the medical model to present a case of the surrounding neighborhood, Southern Orchards, as a patient suffering from a "syndrome" comprised of concentrated poverty, housing instability, racial segregation, environmental toxins, violence, property crimes, and poorly performing schools. The patient is suffering from a diagnosis called "community trauma," the etiology of which is structural violence: the harm that individuals, families, and communities experience from inequitable economic and social structures, social institutions, relations of power, privilege, and inequality that prevent them from meeting their basic needs.3,4
After completing a detailed neighborhood diagnostic assessment using multiple sources of data, the authors conclude that this syndrome was driven primarily by a lack of housing stability, created and sustained by an ongoing housing crisis and exacerbated by the subprime mortgage collapse of 2008. The treatment plan included a multifaceted strategy aimed at stabilizing the housing market and improving the built environment. These interventions included home repair programs, home ownership programs, home construction, career development, and rental agency development. The hospital acted as the lender and financier of housing interventions, community-based organizations provided the grassroots community connections to residents living in the neighborhood, and the Mayor's Office of Economic Development facilitated a range of financial mechanisms to support these efforts.
The metaphor of the neighborhood as the patient is a novel approach and is accessible to clinicians and health care administrators. This case example illustrates how health care systems, in concert with community and civic partners, can function as anchor institutions to effect structural changes that may have positive impacts on population health. We find their approach to be highly commendable. Following the model advanced by Pinderhughes et al,3 we offer Homes for Health the following suggestions for next steps and areas for concentrated focus that may increase their return on investment:
The physical and built environment: Although much of the focus of this initiative has been on rehabilitating houses, creating spaces for positive interactions among neighbors that are reflective of the community culture, public spaces for play and improving the surrounding built environment in ways that are appealing to residents are important strategies for stimulating community pride and cohesiveness;
The economic environment: Use a multisectoral approach to address job readiness and job training that go beyond nonskilled labor and temporary stipend-earning jobs. Partnering with local community colleges, technical colleges, and universities to prepare a diverse workforce that is able to earn livable wages as well as training and including previously incarcerated members of the community will foster and sustain economic skills, capacity, and growth for Southern Orchards;
The sociocultural environment: Strengthen social relationships between neighbors and institutions by staying involved in community events and fostering additional collaborations that can shift and strengthen the relationship and trust between residents of the community and the institutions embedded within it. Creating intentional opportunities for residents of different income mixes to mingle and build the community is an important strategy to prevent income silos; and
Fostering residents' political power through civic engagement is another strategy for enhancing residents' sense of place. Voter registration, voter engagement, and political empowerment offer residents a locus of control into how their community evolves and changes and provide a conduit through which policies and systems that impact the neighborhood and its residents may be engaged.
Finally, it is imperative to recognize that the condition of this "patient" is a result of its social history of dispossession and trauma, the result of which has been the systematic displacement of many of its long-term residents. Over the last decade, this community has endured a structural dismemberment of community residents, who were forced to leave their homes. And as innovative and well-intended as the treatment plan is, it is equally important to recognize that this initiative is a redevelopment program built on that displacement. Therefore, we strongly urge those in this collaborative to think strategically about ways of finding those who have been displaced and testing strategies that reestablish connections with them so that they may benefit from these efforts, efforts that demonstrate a shift from redevelopment to rebuilding. In doing so, Southern Orchards may enjoy a restored sense of community, cultural identity, and history that goes a long way in promoting social justice to all Southern Orchards residents.
The Homes for Health initiative is an innovative and focused policy intervention designed to disrupt upstream environmental and economic mechanisms that perpetuate health inequalities, and it is part of a coherent strategy to improve and promote population health while reducing health care costs and mitigating poor health outcomes. We wish this collaborative well and look forward to hearing more about its progress.

Road safety talks about careless drivers
Speaking on behalf of Deputy Minister of Works and Transport, Kilus Nguvauva, the chairperson of the Erongo Regional Council, Hafeni Ndemula said that an investigation by the High Level Committee of Ministers in the causes of road crashes established that Khomas, Otjozondjupa, Oshana and Erongo Regions account for the majority of road crashes.
He said million of dollars are lost in compensating or treating road crash victims, money that could have been put to better use.
"As Namibia aspires to become industrialised by 2030, every dollar should be put to the realisation of this noble goal. In many sectors all over the world, there is a growing recognition that cross-sectoral partnerships between business, government, faith and civil society organisations offer the possibility of more innovative and sustainable solutions to most developmental issues such as death and injury on the road as a consequence of rapid motorisation," he said.
Nguvauva further urged members of the road safety fraternity to enter into agreements with each other to ensure that resources geared towards road safety are well spend and duplication of effort is eliminated.
"There is an urgent need to better our performance through heightened synergy and smart partnerships between public and private institutions that in turn will lead to reduced fatality and injury rates in Namibia," he said.
The Governor of Erongo Region, Hon, Cleophas Mutjaviukua said there is a fundamental understanding that road traffic crashes and the resultant injuries have both social and economic cost implications to any nation.
"From this understanding it can be deduced that road crash injuries are a major social equity issue that calls for equal protection of all road users including non-motorised road users, hence the move towards a system that should account for the vulnerability of the human body. We must therefore endeavour as stakeholders to work together over the next few years to improve our road safety record in Namibia," he said.
George Simataa, Chairperson of the National Road Safety Council said he is worried that accidents and victims are increasing each year, with Africa and the rest of the developing world accounting for more than 80% of the total world road accident fatalities.
He said, it has been proven that more than 95% of road accidents are as a result of human error. Generally, the loss of lives and injuries result from not adhering to traffic rules and carelessness among road users.

Two months after being shot in the head, a Detroit high school student surprised his classmates by walking across the stage during his graduation ceremony.
SEE ALSO: Kenya Moore Gets Booted Out Of Mansion For Nonpayment?
Fox 2 News reports that Balaal Hollings was senior class president, student government president, homecoming king and a football star at Northwestern High School before trying to break up a fight at a house party on April 6. Hollings' attempt at being peacemaker ended with him being shot in the head. He would not return to finish his senior year.
But Hollings earned had enough credits to earn his diploma and decided to attend the ceremony. His recovery is remarkable, given that doctors did not expect him to walk or speak again. His classmates certainly were not expecting to see him anytime soon–especially at graduation.
"They don't know I'm coming," Hollings told Fox 2 this week as he got out of a car outside the Millenium Centre in Southfield, Mich. "They think I'm dilapidated."
He proved them wrong when he walked the stage, evoking tears, cheers and screams from the audience before addressing them.

Though the shooting resulted in Hollings losing his football scholarship, he was presented a $50,000 scholarship at the ceremony. The former star athlete hoped to play in the NFL, but said God has another plan for him. "I'm going to take pre-law or criminal justice," he said.
Speaking of justice, Hollings is not upset at the man who ended his sports career.
"People always ask me what would you say if you met the person, face-to-face, who shot you? And I would tell them, 'I love you, and I forgive you,'" he said.

Uber, however, takes a different approach, according to senior data scientist Henry Lin: the car-service company keeps its data team completely separate from the product management side, he said, so that they can pursue whatever research projects or experiments they think might help make the service more efficient. And the data science team reports directly to CEO Travis Kalanick, he said.
The fact that data is important to the running of most businesses, particularly technological ones, is now taken for granted, but how do you integrate the collection and understanding of that data into your company so that it makes a difference? Three fast-growing web companies — Uber, Airbnb and LinkedIn(s LNKD) — talked about the different ways they do this at Gigaom's Structure Data conference in New York on Thursday.
Riley Newman, the head of the data science group at Airbnb (which is rumored to be raising a new round of financing that could value the company at $10 billion, according to the Wall Street Journal) said that from his perspective "data is the lifeblood of our business — we think of it as the customer's voice. It's them telling us what works and what doesn't work, so we always start with the data."
Newman said that Airbnb approaches…

Liberty Harley-Davidson/Buell and many other sponsors put together one of the coolest shows I've been to. A lot of cars and even more motorcycles. People were out in droves even though it was overcast and drizzling. It made for better photos anyway because it gave everything a soft lighting effect. Seeing downtown Rahway blocked off for this event was impressive. More places need to have events like this to bring communities together for something special. No outdoor event is complete without Romeo's Oriental BBQ and I consumed no less than three bbq kabobs.

Chinese internet giant Baidu has quietly released an optical character recognition (OCR) API that developers can use to convert image-based text into machine-encoded text.
Demand for data has led to an increase in the popularity of OCR APIs as companies seek to turn unstructured information, like images with text, into structured information that they can analyze.
Baidu's OCR API offers developers 5,000 free API requests per month for images up to 300 kilobytes in size. The current languages supported are Chinese, English, Japanese and Korean. Documentation for the OCR API is available in Chinese only. To use the API, a Baidu developer account, which is free, is required.
Already, there are two open source projects that help developers take advantage of Baidu's free offering. One uses Node.js and the other is implemented as a Visual Studio C# project. The latter has documentation in English, which could help English-speaking developers who are not able to access Baidu's Chinese documentation.
Baidu's OCR API is in beta. Given this and its usage limits, it might not yet be suitable for production use. Developers with commercial OCR needs can turn to a growing number of cloud OCR API solutions from companies like ABBY and Accusoft.

Investing Daily Article of the Week
by Brian O'Connell
This year has been a trying time for coal industry companies, starting with the fallout from President Obama's re-election and ending with dim predictions for coal's future prospects.
The Dow Jones US Coal Index (DJI: DJUSCL) had already fallen from a year long high of $250 in January 2012 to $138 by October 2013. But a look inside the numbers reveals that coal, as an investment, has fairly stabilized throughout the chaos of 2013.
Since July 2012, when the index slid to a low of $135, the decline has abated, although investors haven't exactly seen significant growth in that time period. But solid coal plays still exist; below we examine our favorite coal stock now.
About 175 US coal plants have already closed, and by 2020 another 100-150 more should be shuttered, as the Obama administration continues to squeeze coal companies with stringent environmental regulations.
But the president has other problems these days, and the coal lobby has done a good job of pushing back and limiting the damage. Moreover, high demand persists for coal overseas, especially versus natural gas.
In a white paper on the topic, the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) points to three key reasons why coal tops natural gas, especially in Europe:
Abundant supply: The availability of low-priced natural gas in the United States has made coal a less competitive fuel for domestic power generation. As a result, favorably priced US exports of coal have been an attractive alternative to natural gas for Europeans.
Electric power sector changes: Following the Fukushima disaster in 2011, Germany retired eight nuclear power reactors, which were replaced with a combination of increased output from renewable sources as well as coal for power generation.
Environmental initiatives: Since coal produces more carbon per unit of heat than natural gas, coal is more affected by a high carbon price. The price of carbon in Europe is currently very low because of sluggish economic activity on the Continent, so many consumers are opting for coal over natural gas. A significant increase in the price of carbon would promote more natural gas consumption and less coal consumption.
But as the EIA attests, with alarming volatility in the US because of government efforts to clamp down on coal production, investors can benefit from increased exports overseas.
Don't forget, the US remains second in the world in coal production. Demand from a presumably healthier economy should provide coal a short-term boost. According to the EIA, US coal exports rose by about 17 percent in 2012, and the agency has recently upped its coal export forecast for 2013.
Another recent trend that could boost stocks is a bullish research note from Goldman Sachs in early October.
Goldman analysts Neil Mehta and Vinit Joshi issued buy ratings on a handful of coal stocks, and said that if you look at coal as a "sum of the parts" issue, there's money to be made.
This from Mehta and Joshi:
"The coal sector continues to face challenges including coal plant retirements, high net debt levels and commodity prices below historical averages. But we see some reasons for optimism, including the bottoming of met coal prices, YTD underperformance versus the S&P 500 of 44 percent and some strong company-specific ideas."
Two companies the Goldman analysts both like are Consol Energy (NYSE: CNX) and SunCoke Energy (NYSE: SXC).
I like both, but Consol has the larger upside. The stock is trading in the $35 range, and should climb another 25 percent to the $45-per-share range, based on good growth prospects, and a recent $3.5 billion divestment of five of its West Virginia coal plants.
The strategy is to shift some of its coal resources over to natural gas, which it sees as growing by 30 percent over the next two years, in terms of production. But Consol isn't abandoning coal; it's opening a new doorway to profits while consolidating its coal production resources that are turning a good profit.
The firm earns royalties on any future production coming out of the sale of its five West Virginia plants to Murray Energy.
Consol is also well positioned to keep exporting coal to high-demand regions such as China and India, which have added significantly to company revenues in recent years.
As always, there are some caveats.
With coal stocks largely buried, you can pick off a few points by buying in at serious lows, which seem artificially depressed, given the high global demand for cheap power sources. But most coal stocks aren't seeing big gains.
Also, watch natural gas prices-if those prices remain low, don't expect too much upward movement in most coal stocks.
Power plants and transportation companies are increasingly shifting their financial resources to natural gas, which has been trading at 10-year lows. Coal providers send 90 percent of their production to power plants, mostly due to affordability reasons. That may sustain itself for a while, but if the Obama White House gets its way, those power plants, which are heavily regulated by Uncle Sam, won't be so reliant on coal by 2016, when Obama leaves office.
That said, on a stock-by-stock basis (especially Consol), there is still plenty of money to be made in coal. You just have to brush off the dust to find a diamond.
