Cardiff having the better game so far in creating chances in front of goal to try and win this game against Bristol City. Bristol City haven’t really caused Cardiff City any problems, hopefully Bristol City will change this around in the second half and see out a win to keep themselves in the play-off places.

Ah yes an OT. Which fits the following just fine:

reported Sunday (Feb 25), paving the way for Xi Jinping to remain as head of state after 2023.

The announcement, carried by state news agency Xinhua, gave few details. It said the proposal had been made by the party's Central Committee, the largest of its elite ruling bodies. The proposal also covers the vice president position.

"The Communist Party of China Central Committee proposed to remove the expression that the President and Vice-President of the People's Republic of China 'shall serve no more than two consecutive terms' from the country's Constitution," Xinhua said.

The Central Committee also proposed inserting "Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era" into the constitution, Xinhua said in a separate report, referring to Xi's guiding political thought that is already in the arguably more important Communist Party constitution.

Xi, 64, is currently required by the country's constitution to step down as president after two five-year terms. Nearing the end of his first term, he will be formally elected to a second at the annual meeting of China's largely rubber-stamp parliament opening on Mar 5.

There is no limit on his tenure as the party and military chief, though a maximum 10-year term is the norm. He began his second term as head of the party and military in October at the end of a once-every-five-years party congress.

Revenue is up! Profit is up! The iPhone X is the best-selling iPhone every week it is out there! Apple is… safe? Hiding behind that story are numbers familiar to those who know their smartphone history and the answer is no, Apple is not safe, but neither is it in a terminal position. The question is, will Tim Cook react in time?

The numbers come from Gartner, which has been tracking smartphone sales since 2004. For the calendar year of 2017, Apple sold 214.9 million smartphones. For calendar year 2016, 216 million smartphones. That’s a drop of 1.1 million smartphones. If you go back to 2015, the slide is even more pronounced, with 225.8 million sales. Since 2015, iPhone sales have steadily fallen.

Cardiff 1-0 up thanks to a goal from Zohore, automatic race is surely over now.

[Ramsmanifique]

Cardiff won 1-0 so that’s the automatic places out the window as they now go 7 points clear of us now, we just got to stay in the play-offs.

One costly mistake by Bristol helped seal Cardiff the 3 points. Derby have got it all to do now in trying to stay in the play-offs.
