Why Jack Ma's Reappearance Isn't Enough To Calm Alibaba Investors
Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (NYSE: BABA) co-founder Jack Ma reappeared in public view on Wednesday sending the company's shares soaring 5.5% in New York but concerns persist about the Chinese company's frayed relationship with its government.Investors are seeking more reassurance on the regulatory environment surrounding the e-commerce giant. Here's what they are saying:Just Appearing Is Not Enough: William Huston, founder of Bay Street Capital Holdings, a California-based investment advisory firm said, "We all know that just because he showed up ... doesn't necessarily explain what is going on." Huston's firm has reduced its position in Alibaba from 8% of the portfolio to less than 1%, reported Reuters. See Also: Alibaba Shoots Up 8.5% As Jack Ma Makes First Public Appearance In Months"When you don't know what to do in an evolving situation like this you can't use traditional securities analytics to reach decisions. We are standing aside and watching," said David Kotok, chief investment officer at Florida's Cumberland Advisors.Jack Ma's Value: Investors also place value on the leadership that Ma provided to the Chinese conglomerate. Houston said, "One of our top criteria is leadership and we were investing in Alibaba because I really respect Jack Ma as a leader."Alibaba Still In Hot Water: The reappearance of the company's founder does not mean Alibaba is in the clear."Alibaba is not out of the doghouse, but at least it's clear that the current anti-monopoly drive is not about punishing Jack Ma," said Zhang Fushen, Senior Analyst at Shanghai PD Fortune Asset Management, Al Jazeera reported.See Also: The Ant Financial IPO Is Xi Jinping's Latest Battle With Big BusinessBrock Silver, managing director at Kaiyuan Capital, a Hong Kong-based private-equity fund noted that while Ma's reappearance is a sign that his relationship with China's regulatory authorities has stabilized, it doesn't imply that "Ma's corporate empire is free from worry," Singapore's Straits Times newspaper reported."[Ma's] reappearance can only be a good thing. But it's unhelpful to speculate on the viability of an Ant Group listing at this point," said Wei Wei Chua, portfolio manager at Mirae Asset Global Investments Hong Kong, as per Straits Times. The investor was referring to the suspended mega IPO of Alibaba's fintech arm which fell through in November.Price Action: Alibaba shares closed 5.5% higher at $265.49 on Wednesday and gained 0.1% in the after-hours session in New York.Photo courtesy: World Economic Forum via WikimediaSee more from Benzinga * Click here for options trades from Benzinga * Alibaba Shoots Up 8.5% As Jack Ma Makes First Public Appearance In Months * PayPal Becomes First Foreign Company To Fully Own A Payments Platform In China(C) 2021 Benzinga.com.

(Bloomberg) -- Ant Group Co.'s valuation may be cut further under new measures proposed by China to curb market concentration in its online payments market, according to new estimates from Bloomberg Intelligence.Jack Ma's fintech giant may be worth less than 700 billion yuan ($108 billion) under the draft proposals, which could reduce the value of Ant's Alipay service by half, according to senior analyst Francis Chan. Earlier this month, Chan lowered his Ant valuation to less than 1 trillion yuan, from about 1.44 trillion yuan."Ant Group's valuation may plunge further if its payment unit is forced to break up due to potential anti-trust probes by China's central bank," Chan wrote in a research note.The revised estimate for Ant is a far cry from valuations that ran as high as $320 billion before the company was forced to scrap its record initial public offering in November. China's crackdown forced Ma's firm to withdraw the $35 billion IPO just days before its planned listing in Hong Kong and Shanghai.China's central bank said on Wednesday that any non-bank payment company with half the market share for online transactions, or two entities with a combined two-thirds share could be subject to antitrust probes.If a monopoly is confirmed, the central bank can suggest the cabinet impose restrictive measures including breaking up the entity by its business type. Firms already with payment licenses would have a one-year grace period to comply with the new rules, the central bank said.Alipay, with about 1 billion users, controls 55% of the mobile payments market. A break up could reduce its 600 billion yuan valuation in half, Chan said, adding it's questionable whether Ant can relaunch its IPO this year.Alibaba Group Holding Ltd., which holds a stake in Ant, fell 2.5% in Hong Kong after rallying 8.5% on Wednesday after Ma emerged in public for the first time since China began clamping down on his businesses, ending several months of speculation over his whereabouts.For more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2021 Bloomberg L.P.

U.S. Marine Corps, Bell AH-1Z Viper: Fatal accident occurred March 30, 2019 in Yuma, Arizona
Yuma, Arizona • Two Marine pilots have died in a helicopter crash during a training mission in southwestern Arizona, U.S. Marine Corps officials said Sunday.
The AH-1Z Viper crashed Saturday night while the pilots were conducting a training mission as part of a weapons and tactical instructor course, according to the Marine Corps. The cause of the crash is under investigation.
Capt. Gabriel Adibe, a Marine Corps spokesman, said the helicopter crashed on the vast Marine Corps Air Station Yuma training grounds but no additional information was immediately available.
The names of the pilots who died have not been released pending notification of their families.
The station is located about 2 miles (3.2 kilometers) from Yuma and the 1,300-square-mile (3,367-square-kilometer) training ground is one of the world's largest military installations.
There have been several fatal crashes involving Marine Corps aircraft near Yuma over the years.
In 1996, a Marine electronic-warfare plane went down during a training mission on a gunnery range near the Gila Mountains, about 40 miles (64 kilometers) east of the Yuma station, killing all four people aboard. The crew was from the Marine base at Cherry Point, North Carolina, and was training at Yuma.
Two Marine pilots, a crew chief and a Navy corpsman died in a 2007 crash of a search-and-rescue helicopter near the Colorado River during a training mission. The crew members were attached to a headquarters squadron of Marine Corps Air Station in Yuma.
In 2012, seven Marines were killed when an AH-1W Super Cobra attack helicopter and a UH-1Y Huey utility helicopter collided in midair during a training exercise in a remote area of the Yuma training grounds. The crash site was in the Chocolate Mountains on the California side of the range.

Calabasas, Los Angeles County, California
Officials determined unidentified remains found amid an old plane wreck in hilly terrain outside Calabasas were animal remains, not human as early reports suggested.
Lt. Jennifer Seetoo, of the Los Angeles County sheriff's station in Malibu/Lost Hills, said the coroner identified the remains as belonging to an animal. The remains and the wreckage were discovered by hikers Sunday afternoon.
The wreckage was found in a ravine near a hiking trail about a mile and a half north of Highway 101 and the Liberty Canyon Road exit, officials said. The site is in unincorporated terrain generally north and west of the Calabasas landfill.
Seetoo said the plane wreckage was "very old" and that the National Transportation Safety Board was investigating.
"It was not a recent crash," she said.
Federal Aviation Administration records show the plane was destroyed in 1991, a sheriff's sergeant said Monday.
A representative from the National Transportation Safety Board said that the agency hadn't launched a formal investigation but was in the process of gathering information.

The private pilot stated that, during approach to the airport, the weather observation system reported variable winds of 4 to 6 knots, which was less than forecast. While on short final approach for landing to runway 21, the pilot experienced "strong updrafts from unusual landforms," and when the airplane landed about halfway down the runway, he experienced "strong gusts causing swerving." The airplane was departing the side of the runway when the pilot chose to abort the landing by applying full engine power. The airplane was unable to outclimb the rising terrain off the side of the runway and subsequently impacted the ground and a fence.
Postaccident examination of the airplane revealed no anomalies that would have precluded normal operation. A review of recorded weather information showed winds consistently from 220° at 23 to 32 knots, which would have resulted in a crosswind component of between 2 and 6 knots. The strong updrafts the pilot experienced would have been consistent with mechanical turbulence, which could have been confirmed by wind indications from the airport windsock(s).
The pilot's failure to maintain airplane control during landing and during the subsequent aborted landing attempt in crosswind conditions.
Performance/control parameters - Not attained/maintained (Cause)
On May 11, 2018, at 0827 central daylight time (CDT), an experimental amateur-built Whittman RV6 airplane, N833DW, impacted terrain during an aborted landing on runway 21 at Hutchinson County Airport (BGD), Borger, Texas. The airplane was destroyed by impact forces. The private pilot sustained serious injuries. The airplane was registered to and operated by the pilot under the provisions of Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 as a personal flight. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan was filed for the cross country flight. The flight departed from H A Clark Memorial Field Airport, Williams, Arizona, at 0830 mountain standard time (MST) and was destined to BGD.
The pilot stated the BGD automated surface observing system (ASOS) was reporting a variable wind of 4-6 knots, which was less than forecast. During a visual approach to runway 21 (3,897 feet by 100 feet, dry asphalt), the pilot stated that he flew an upwind pattern entry and on short final, experienced "strong updrafts from unusual landforms". The pilot landed the tailwheel equipped airplane on runway 21, near the intersection of runway 17/35 (about 1,650 feet down runway 21), and "experienced strong wind gusts causing swerving". The pilot said that as "conditions deteriorated," he decided to abort the landing and applied full engine power while the airplane was departing the runway at about a 20° angle toward the right. The airplane began to climb over rising terrain off the side of the runway. The landing gear dragged through heavy brush/weeds, which reduced the airplane's acceleration. The pilot attempted to fly the airplane under approaching powerlines due to a lack of airspeed needed for a climb. The airplane then impacted the ground and a chain link fence.
Airport Facility Directory information for BGD showed the installation of three windsocks at the airport. The windsocks were located between the approach end of runways 17 and 35 and between runways 3 and 35.
BGD ASOS recorded the following wind information:
At 0551 CDT: wind - 220° at 17 knots, gust - 28 knots
At 0751 CDT: wind - 220° at 17 knots, gust – 26 knots
The calculated crosswind component on runway 21 with a wind from 220° at 14 knots was 2 knots and winds from 220° at 32 knots was 6 knots.
The airplane did not have and was not required to have a published maximum demonstrated crosswind velocity capability due to its classification as an experimental airplane A flight instructor, who provided flight instruction in RV-6 airplanes, stated that a comfortable crosswind velocity for a pilot with average skill would be about 15 knots, and a skilled pilot could land the airplane with a 20-25 knot crosswind. He said the RV6 was capable of landing in 20-25 knot crosswinds.
According to a Federal Aviation Administrator (FAA) inspector from the Lubbock Flight Standards District Office, there were no witnesses to the accident. The UNICOM operator at the time did not realize the airplane was landing because he did not hear the pilot make radio calls on UNICOM. The operator first learned of the accident through 911, which was looking for the airplane.
Post-accident examination of the airplane by the FAA inspector revealed no mechanical anomalies that would have precluded normal airplane operation. The inspector stated that the wing flaps were in the fully extended position of 40 °.
The Airplane Flying Handbook (FAA-H-8083-3B), Chapter 8, Approaches and Landings, stated in part:
"…a review of accident statistics indicates that over 45 percent of all general aviation accidents occur during the approach and landing phases of a flight. A closer look shows that the cause of over 90 percent of those cases was pilot related and loss of control was also a major contributing factor in 33 percent of the cases."
Chapter 8, Approaches and Landings stated that stabilized descent angle is controlled throughout the approach so that the airplane lands in the center of the first third of the runway and if a landing cannot be made on the first third of the runway, or the airplane drifts sideways, execute a go-around.

Whirlpool has announced that it is working on an Apple Watch app that will let you control its products from the smartwatch.
The move would see users able to change the settings and keep an eye on the likes of their oven, washing machine or dryer straight from the app, with this representing the first move by the company to merge the connected worlds of the smart home and wearables.
According to CNET, Whirlpool will be giving Watch users the ability check the temperature of their oven and change settings during use, change the type of wash cycle when a washing machine is in use, check if a cycle has started on a dryer and see how much time remains on a cycle.
As the company shows off the app this week at CES, it's also indicated that it will be available to download later this year and help you take remote control of more than 20 smart home appliances.
Interestingly, Whirlpool's range of appliances already syncs up with Google Assistant and Alexa, so branching out to Apple's side of the fence is a savvy move, and one we can only assume will also include HomePod when it finally sees a release.
This also isn't the first integration between smart home and wearable platforms we've seen over the past week. Amazon recently announced it will be launching the Alexa Mobile Accessory Kit later this year, which will essentially allow manufacturers to add Alexa into products such as smartwatches, hearables and fitness trackers more easily.
We fully expect to see plenty more integration and crossover like this throughout 2018.


Except for wheat contracts, CBOT futures closed lower today with pressure stemming from a stronger US Dollar and a lack of bullish fundamentals. Soybean futures have closed lower 5 of the last 6 days, with March Soybeans 30 cents lower than the January 18th HIGH. As the soybean export market moves to South America, added market pressure could appear. USDA reported Gulf Export basis softened for soybeans and firmed up for corn and wheat. Wheat futures closed higher on strong wheat export sales.
Cattle futures closed sharply lower, especially in Feeder Cattle, as traders reduced positions ahead of Friday's Cattle on Feed Report and next week's Cattle report which reports the annual inventory. The selloff occurred even as the cash cattle market held steady at $122/cwt and boxed beef values rose. Choice ended up 1.75 at 193.00; Select up 0.58 at 189.74. The midday quotes were 192.61 Choice and 190.31 Select. Yesterday, the Fed Cattle Exchange sold 2729 head at an average $121.98/cwt.
Lean Hog futures started the day higher but sold off with the cattle futures market around 11 am CT to close sharply lower near the late-day lows. The nearby February LH contract actually charted a bearish Key Reversal (see Chart here). This follows yesterday's huge rally based off a friendly (for pork) Cold Storage report (see below). The cash hog market was near steady and pork values climbed thanks to the Belly cut. FOB Plant Pork closed up .41 at 82.81, compared to 83.10 at midday.
Frozen pork supplies closed out 2016 down 8 percent from levels in November, and down 13 percent from the year earlier, according to USDA's Cold Storage report, published by the National Agricultural Statistics Service. Stocks of pork bellies were down 4 percent from November and down 67 percent from the year earlier.
Compared to last week steer calves under 700 lbs sold 2.00 to 5.00 higher and heifer calves under 700 lbs sold 3.00 to 7.00 higher with good demand. Good quality featherweight calves under 400 lbs sold 5.00 to 10.00 higher with very good demand. Yearling steers sold firm with good demand. Quality was good through attractive. Yearling steers traded firm with good demand. Slaughter cows and slaughter bulls sold steady with moderate demand.
Milk production in the 23 major States during December totaled 16.8 billion pounds, up 2.4 percent from December 2015. November revised production at 16.1 billion pounds, was up 2.8 percent from November 2015.
Production per cow in the 23 major States averaged 1,931 pounds for December, 35 pounds above December 2015. This is the highest production per cow for the month of December since the 23 State series began in 2003.
For 2016 as a whole, food-at-home prices were down 1.3% from 2015 levels, the first annual decline in supermarket prices since 1967, according to ERS.


In February 2018, South Africa's new president Cyril Ramaphosa made land expropriation a key pillar of his policy platform after taking over from ousted PM Jacob Zuma.
This was followed by the South African parliament's passage, by an overwhelming majority of 241 to 83 votes, of a motion to begin the process of amending the country's Constitution to allow for the confiscation of white-owned land without compensation.
In June 2018, Julius Malema made a barely-concealed threat of white genocide in an interview with TRT World News.
H/t TrailDust's "White Genocide Looming in South Africa".
Section 24 of the Act requires that any person who seeks to renew a license must do so 90 days before its expiry date. Section 28 stipulates that if a firearm license has been cancelled' the firearm must be disposed of or forfeited to the state. A 60-day time frame is placed on its disposal, which is to be done through a dealer.
The Constitutional Court's ruling means that South African gun owners who fail to renew their firearms licenses must hand in their firearms to the nearest police station, where authorities will then presumably destroy them.
The history of gun confiscation is one of repeated cases of tyranny.
From countries such as Cuba to the Soviet Union, aspiring demagogues have used gun confiscation to disarm the populace. Logically, an unarmed populace will put up little resistance against their tyrannical acts.
The economy of South Africa is the second largest (after Nigeria) and one of the most industrialized in Africa, due in large part to mining. Though mining's contribution to the national GDP has fallen from 21% in 1970 to 6% in post-apartheid 2011, it still represents almost 60% of the country's exports.
The new Mining Charter will require racial quotas in the form of minimum percentages of Black ownership of shares, Black supply of mining goods, and Black employees.
A new mining right must have a minimum of 30% Black Persons' shareholding, with the 30% shareholding to be apportioned between employees, communities and entrepreneurs in a specific manner.
A minimum 8% shareholding is allocated to mine communities, to be held through a trust.
A minimum 14% shareholding must be to black entrepreneurs.
Holder of a mining rights must pay 1% of its annual turnover to the 30% black persons' shareholding prior to, and over and above any distributions made by a Holder to its shareholders. This 1% payment is always subject to the solvency and liquidity test as provided for in the Companies Act but is not negotiable under any other terms.
The Charter requires 70% procurement of mining goods and 80% procurement of services from BEE entities (Black empowered entities); it also requires that analysis of 100% of mineral samples be done by South African based companies. This is mandatory and in place no matter how incompetent or expensive these protected companies services may be.
At board level, a minimum of 50% black representation, 25% of which must be both female and black.
A holder must invest 5% of the leviable amount on essential skills development.
This mining charter will eventually lead to South Africa becoming a mining backwater, a shadow of its former glory.
Even the average village idiot could tell you that the South African mining industry is going to follow a slow and painful decline with the "irony" that the very people that the mining charter is purportedly going to "empower" will be those worst affected, along with all the businesses surrounding this industry and, in turn, those businesses surrounding the mining service businesses. In short, the whole of South Africa.

I would advise white gun owners in South Africa never to surrender their weapons. I would advise whites who do not own guns to buy them and plenty of ammo. When the 'authorities' come to confiscate the weapons or the spear chuckers come to kill you, send as many of them to HELL as possible.
My heart goes out to the white farmers there. I was looking up South Africa on Gab and saw some truly horrifying photographs that I wish I could unsee.
The situation is dire, and of course the msm is keeping us in the dark.
Malema is a very, very dangerous man.
It is rooted in ignorance and a desire for wildness. I read that the confiscation (property) act had been "suspended" temporarily. It seems that it didn't go over well even with the Odorists.
Anyone living there unarmed is insane. I wouldn't live there if you paid me. That's why people have to install those gas-powered flame throwers on their cars to keep the locals away at intersections. The rhinos are a minor problem.
The great nation of South Africa will be right beside Venezuela and Zimbabwe (Rhodesia) as examples of what happens when marxists take over. There's no major racism in Venezuela, but the driving force of Zimbabwe and South Africa is not racism, but marxist provocateurs using race issues.
The (((IMF))) has placed themselves on-board with the genocide of White South Africans. We have many enemies but the most dangerous is the one we aren't allowed to notice, let alone name (in case they get upset).

When it comes to hair care that aims to make you colour last longer I'm very rarely impressed or even notice a difference in the longevity of my colour by many hair care brands, so when I finally found something that ticks both of these boxes I wanted to tell everyone I know- that's when having a blog comes in handy! Colour Minded from Bumble & bumble* has been my new go to shampoo and conditioner when wanting to lock in my colour so that I can wait a little longer between hairdresser appointments. The Colour Minded Shampoo and Conditioner are both sulphate free and aim to cleanse and clean your hair without stripping any of your colour or shine. The range contains an original colour preserving complex that prevents your colour from fading or washed out.
Similar to the Surf Foam Wash range I find that the Colour Minded gives my hair a good amount of volume and texture without weighing it down- you could say it's a Surf Foam Wash version for coloured hair. The great thing I find about Bumble & bumble shampoos is although they're quite pricey they foam up really well so you only need a small amount per wash so last quite a while and they smell pretty incredible too. I don't think I'll be able to afford these every time they run out but they're definitely worth a splurge every now and then as I really have noticed a difference when I use these compared to other high end shampoo's.


The season lends itself to the wonderful warm tones that add so much to a fall wedding.
Fall weddings are no doubt beautiful but there are some things to keep in mind. There are holidays like Labor Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving and school activities. You don't have to give up the idea of having your wedding in fall just plan carefully. No matter how early you send out save-the-dates, some people may have holiday plans.
You can't have a more glorious time of year than fall. Even though the days are crisp but pleasantly warm, the night can become very cool. In your invitations you should remind your guests to bring some sort of wrap if they are to be outside. It would really be better to have your wedding in the daytime of it's going to be outside.
By all means don't let these things keep you from having your nuptials in autumn. You wouldn't want to miss the opportunity to have a gorgeous wedding with so many breathtaking photos.
Of course you can always serve the holiday traditional meal like turkey, dressing, green beans and sweet potatoes.
You could also serve Cornish hens, pumpkin soup, mashed potatoes, Brussels sprouts, beets and apple cider.
These are suggestions for typical fall fare, of course you can serve anything that suits your taste.
If your wedding is to be outdoors you may want to make sure there are portable heaters or fire pits for chilly nights. Make sure you, your attendants and guests are dressed appropriately.
Color adds so much to the overall look of your Fall wedding cake. But you don't have to go full-blown with autumn hues. A few touches of fall color or just enough to match your bouquet would be nice.
Explore the Internet and bridal magazines for inspiration. Fall's aromas and pigments should get your senses buzzing with ideas.
Even though these are classic fall colors…you can pick anything that suits your fancy.
When choosing a cake, consider having an autumn theme. After all, fall wedding cakes call for the seasons distinct flavors and designs.
You can decorate a fall wedding cake with a variety of items. When deciding on your design, talk to your baker about these decorations because he or she may use gum paste, molded chocolate, fondant, sugar or the real thing. They can show you what the different mediums will look like on your cake.

Q: Java Mission Control (JMC) 6.0 does not show hot methods when examining a JFR flight recording After using the Java Flight Recording functionality on a running application, Java's JMC could be used to examine the resulting JFR file to show hot methods, and a percentage of CPU time spent in each method. This was very useful for profiling applications and identifying bottlenecks.
Here is an example of what was previously possible in older versions of JMC:

This screen seems to be missing in JMC 6.0 that is bundled with Java 10. Here is an example of what I see in the Java 10 bundled JMC 6.0:

There seems to be a rudimentary count of method calls, but no Percentage CPU time is listed. There don't appear to be options to add the missing column.
Is there a way to show hot method %CPU time, or has this functionality been removed from JMC 6.0 in JDK10?

A: The percentage column is not cpu time, but percentage of the total number of method samples.
The same info is displayed as the backdrop in the Count column in JMC 6.0, and I believe if you hover over the column to get the tooltip there might be a percentage number.
I know you are not the first person to miss the percentage column, there is an enhancement request in the JMC Jira for this: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JMC-5721

A: At time of writing JMC 7.1.2 still doesn't give the chance to see the percentage CPU time. I've found great help read jfr files with VisualVM  -> Sampler -> Display -> CPU

Q: Using generate_series with Rails ActiveRecord I'm having a difficult time rewriting pure SQL query for generate_series with Rails ORM.
First, to explain what I'm going for.
My mission is to extract sum(total) of invoices from date interval user chooses by each month. Easy.
So, If users choose 2019 year, the result is something like:
Month | total_sum
2       500
3       600
5       700

Problem is, the result is only with months that exist in invoices.
To fix that, I want to fill gaps with generate_series, SQL function for months that are missing.
I came up with SQL that is something like this:
WITH
range_values AS (
  SELECT date_trunc('month', date_start) as minval,
         date_trunc('month', date_end) as maxval
  FROM transactions),

months_range AS (
  SELECT generate_series(minval, maxval, '1 month'::interval) as month
  FROM range_values
),

monthly_sum AS (
  SELECT date_trunc('month', payment_date) AS month,
         SUM(total)   AS total
  FROM transactions
  GROUP BY month
)

SELECT date_part('month', months_range.month),
        coalesce(monthly_sum.total, 0) AS total
FROM months_range
LEFT JOIN monthly_sum ON months_range.month = monthly_sum.month;

The result is what I expect, but I want to chain this method with an existing relation.
I'm came up with:
@relation.joins("LEFT JOIN generate_series(TIMESTAMP '1-1-2018', TIMESTAMP '1-1-2021', interval '1 month') AS series ON transactions.payment_date = series")
.group("series")
.select("series, sum(transactions.total)"`)

Rails generated query:
SELECT series, sum(transactions.total)
FROM transactions
LEFT JOIN generate_series(TIMESTAMP '1-1-2018', TIMESTAMP '1-1-2021', interval '1 month') AS series ON transactions.payment_date = series
GROUP BY series

Result in rails is:
#<ActiveRecord::Relation [#<Transaction id: nil>]>

#
NOTE: I'am expecting something like Array of [{"series" => 'x', "total" => 'y'},{#...},#...] NOT Transaction objects
If I run this generated SQL in pgadmin, the result is:
series | sum
null     5881

Using:

*

*Rails 5.2

*Postgresql 9.1

EDIT
What I got for now, but not getting results yet:
  def group_total_by_months
   @relation.joins("RIGHT JOIN generate_series(TIMESTAMP '1-1-2018', TIMESTAMP '1-1-2020', interval '1 month') AS series
                     ON date_trunc('month', transactions.payment_date) = series")
            .group("series")
            .select("series, sum(transactions.total) AS total")
  end

result:
#<ActiveRecord::AssociationRelation [#<Transaction id: nil, total: 0.61173e3>, #<Transaction id: nil, total: 0.364446e4>, #<Transaction id: nil, total: 0.1625e4>]>

The result is correct for 3 months, but missing the date series.
to_sql:
   SELECT series AS payment_date, sum(transactions.total) AS total FROM
 \"transactions\"
 RIGHT JOIN generate_series(TIMESTAMP '1-1-2018', TIMESTAMP '1-1-2020',
          interval '1 month') AS series ON date_trunc('month',
          transactions.payment_date) = series
WHERE \"transactions\".\"account_id\" = 1
GROUP BY series

What I want to achieve:
WITH filteret_transactions AS (
    SELECT * FROM transactions WHERE transactions.account_id = 1
)

 SELECT series AS payment_date, sum(filteret_transactions.total) AS total
    FROM  filteret_transactions
  RIGHT JOIN generate_series(TIMESTAMP '1-1-2018', TIMESTAMP '1-1-2020', interval '1 month') AS series
  ON date_trunc('month', filteret_transactions.payment_date) = series GROUP BY series

A: I think the following should work for you
def sums_by_month_range(date1,date2,relates_to, date_column: :payment_date, sum_column: :total)
  relation_table = Arel::Table.new(:relation)
  relation = Arel::Nodes::As.new(relation_table, relates_to.arel)
  month_range_table = Arel::Table.new(:month_range)
  month_range = Arel::Nodes::As.new(month_range_table,
    Arel::SelectManager.new.project(
      Arel::Nodes::NamedFunction.new('date_part',[Arel.sql("'month'"),Arel::Attribute.new(Arel::Table.new(:series),'month')]).as('month')
    ).distinct.from(
     Arel::Nodes::NamedFunction.new('generate_series',[Arel.sql("date '#{date1.strftime('%Y-%m-%d')}'"),Arel.sql("date '#{date2.strftime('%Y-%m-%d')}'"),Arel.sql("'1 month'::interval")]).as('series(month)').to_sql
    )
  )
  ActiveRecord::Base.connection.exec_query(
    month_range_table.project(
      month_range_table[:month],
      relation_table[sum_column].sum.as('total')
    ).with(month_range, relation).join(relation_table, Arel::Nodes::OuterJoin).on(
      Arel::Nodes::NamedFunction.new('date_trunc',[Arel.sql("'month'"),relation_table[date_column]]).eq(month_range_table[:month])
    ).group(month_range_table[:month]).to_sql
  ).to_hash
end

to recreate your second example this can be called as:
sums_by_month(Date.new(2018,1,1),Date.new(2021,1,1), @relation)

This will return an Array of Hash as [{'month' => x, 'total' => y}] you can modify as you see fit. The query will look like
WITH month_range AS  (
  SELECT DISTINCT
    date_part('month', [series].[month]) AS month
  FROM
    generate_series(date '2018-01-01', date '2019-01-01', '1 month'::interval) AS series(month)
), relation AS (
  [WHATEVER AR QUERY OBJECT YOU PASS IN]
)
SELECT
   month_range.month,
   SUM(relation.total) AS total
FROM
   month_range
   LEFT OUTER JOIN relation ON date_trunc('month', relation.payment_date) = month_range.month
GROUP BY
   month_range.month

TL;DR
This will reproduce your exact query (Example 1 in post)
transaction_table = Transaction.arel_table
range_values_table = Arel::Table.new(:range_values)
range_values = Arel::Nodes::As.new(range_values_table,
  transaction_table.project(

  ).group(Arel::Nodes::NamedFunction.new('date_trunc',[Arel.sql("'month'"),transaction_table[:payment_date]])))

query = month_range_table.project(
  Arel::Nodes::NamedFunction.new('date_part',[Arel.sql("'month'"),month_range_table[:month]]).as('month'),

Is it viable for a general server yet? i.e: One that runs a few game servers, lighttpd, etc. Or is it still tricky as hell to set up without screwing up the point of it?
It's been a while since I've tried to mess with it. Even on RHEL5 installs, I end up either throwing it in permissive mode or disabling it entirely since the bundled reference policy screws up the ability to have Samba work with Active Directory. I never did try anything with targeted policy mode on gentoo so maybe it would be useful to secure isolated stovepipes on an install.
Maybe one day I'll have a requirement to do something with multi-level security (not common need to know) and will have the charge numbers at work to take a good long look at it again.
It's basically a kernel level sandbox and extremely useful and highly configurable as compared to AppArmour and GRsecurity (as from what I heard).
It's the top choice for best levels of security for all applications, either it be Desktop or any kind of server.
It's not tricky... just a level up from the regular Linux permissions Make sure you follow the Gentoo Hardened SELinux handbook though, it's not just a matter of enabling a few options in the Linux kernel. I'm also writing a tutorial series to learn SELinux in a step-by-step manner.


Scholars frequently cite early nineteenth-century cases to ascertain the original meaning of the Free Exercise Clause. Previous studies, however, have ignored crucial trends in those decisions, thus leading to mistaken emphasis on the denial of religious accommodation claims. This Note argues that prevailing theological views, skepticism of courtroom declarations of religious belief, and contemporary notions of judicial deference better explain nineteenth-century cases than does a wholesale rejection of judicially enforceable religious exemptions. This novel approach clarifies previously unexplained tensions in early free exercise opinions. It also suggests that the Supreme Court's holding in Employment Division v. Smith is inconsistent with many nineteenth-century decisions, notwithstanding Justice Scalia's claim to the contrary in his concurrence in City of Boerne v. Flores. Moreover, past studies have failed to appreciate the enormous midcentury shift in constitutional meaning in response to Mormon polygamy and widespread Catholic immigration. This transformation leaves originalism incapable of providing a consistent account of the Free Exercise Clause.


Early in the morning on November 5 Alejandro Magana was killed in an accident on the Famoso-Porterville Highway. Magana was a passenger in a Ford F-350 driven by Roberto Camacho when Camacho crossed the center line into oncoming traffic and hit a Ford F-150. The accident happened near Peterson Road in Kern County. Camacho was taken to Kern Medical Center with moderate injuries. However, Magana was not wearing a seat belt and suffered fatal injuries. The driver of the F-150, Luis Raul Nunez, was also taken to Kern Medical Center with major injuries.

Advanced Placement (AP) is a program created by the College Board, which offers college-level curricula and examinations to high school students. Our school offers a selection of AP courses available for qualifying students to take in various subjects.
The AP Biology course allows students cultivate their understanding of biology through inquiry-based investigations as they explore the following topics: evolution, cellular processes — energy and communication, genetics, information transfer, ecology, and interactions. This course requires that 25 percent of the instructional time will be spent in hands-on laboratory work, with an emphasis on inquirybased investigations that provide students with opportunities to apply the science practices.
The AP Environmental Science course is designed to be the equivalent of a one-semester, introductory college course in environmental science, through which students engage with the scientific principles, concepts, and methodologies required to understand the interrelationships of the natural world. The course requires that students identify and analyze natural and human-made environmental problems, evaluate the relative risks associated with these problems, and examine alternative solutions for resolving or preventing them. Environmental Science is interdisciplinary, embracing topics from geology, biology, environmental studies, environmental science, chemistry, and geography.
The AP Psychology course introduces students to the systematic and scientific study of human behavior and mental processes. While considering the psychologists and studies that have shaped the field, students explore and apply psychological theories, key concepts, and phenomena associated with such topics as the biological bases of behavior, sensation and perception, learning and cognition, motivation, developmental psychology, testing and individual differences, treatment of abnormal behavior, and social psychology. Throughout the course, students employ psychological research methods, including ethical considerations, as they use the scientific method, evaluate claims and evidence, and effectively communicate ideas.


I found Andrew about thirteen years ago down in Miami. Nowadays we live on a boat in Fort Lauderdale, but I'm originally from Miami. Andrew, as far as I know, has always lived in Fort Lauderdale.
I was six months old and I wanted to go out and see the world. I wasn't getting any younger and the lure of the road was calling to me. So, one day when no one was looking, I just took off. At first, I had a grand time. I'd sniff my way up one street and then down the next. I met up with a few other dogs, chased a few cars, and thought to myself, This is the life. But after a day or so, I started to get hungry and, unlike the home I had left, the humans I ran into had no desire to feed me. I did get into a few garbage cans, but the pickings were kinda slim.
On my third day of freedom, I'm running down the street and a white pickup truck stops and this guy gets out and talks to me. I forget exactly what he said, but it was something along the line of buying me a hamburger. Naturally, I jumped into the truck and off we went. Right about now, you are all thinking that the human was Andrew. Well, you are all wrong. The guy's name was Don.
He took me to a McDonalds and bought me two hamburgers. Then we went to his house and I stayed with him. I had tired of being on the road. It was nice to be fed every day, and to be loved wasn't bad either. The only downside was that Don kept calling me George.
Now this is where Andrew comes into the picture. About three times a week, Andrew would drive down to Miami to do some business. Don was a friend of his, and they'd get together for lunch whenever they could. A week after I found Don, he took me to breakfast where we met up with Andrew. Andrew and I were introduced and the three of us had drive-thru McMuffins.
While we were eating, Don said, "I can't take care of George anymore. I'm going to take him to the Humane Society this morning." He was? That came as news to me! I thought he liked me. But as you will shortly see, there were bigger things happening here—cosmic things.
Andrew spoke up. "Look, I live almost across the street from the Fort Lauderdale Humane Society. I'll take the dog in for you and save you a trip." So I was put in Andrew's car and away we went.
It's about a twenty-minute ride from where we left Don to the Humane Society.
As we exited the highway, Andrew turned to me and said, "It looks like I'm stuck with you. I just can't drop you off to be put in a cage." I figured that's what he would do, because I gave him a few licks during the ride up, and I tried to look both pitiful and cute at the same time. That ain't easy, you try it sometime.
When we got to the boat, Andrew told me that he once had a dog named George, so I would need a new name. Hey, I don't care what you call me; just don't call me late for dinner! At first, he said he was going to name me Don, but then he changed it to Danny. My full name is Daniel J. Daniels.
Now here is where things get a little weird. A week later, Don was dead. I don't know if he knew he was going to die, or if some cosmic force had him turn me over to Andrew because he was destined to die. Whatever it was, here I am living on a boat with my human. He's not really a bad sort, although it was a chore to get him trained just right. But it's been worth it. Every morning after I take him for a walk, he gives me a treat. What dog could ask for anything more?
Hello, my name is Danny. Some people, well, most people, call me a dog. But I am a person just like everyone else. I may be only two feet tall and have four legs (and some fur), but I'm a person nonetheless. Just ask my roommate Andrew.
Andrew and I live together on a boat. It's cozy as long as it's just the two of us. However, sometimes he brings home a female and then I have to sleep out on the deck. It just ain't fair.
The other day I was taking Andrew for his walk, and two females came up to us. Of course, they spoke to me first. "What a cute little fella," the blonde-haired female said. At that, I just had to wag my tail. Then the one with the red hair bent down and rubbed my head. Boy, do I love it when females rub me!
Anyway, what I'm getting at is that those two would have been very happy to come back to the boat with me. And maybe we could have had something to eat (I like turkey slices) and then one of them—or both—could have scratched my tummy (I like that too).
And you know what? Next time I might just bring them back to the boat, and then Andrew will have to sleep out on the deck while the two girls and I eat turkey slices and scratch each other's tummies.

Shazam Encore Hits BlackBerry App World Offering Premium Features
Bla1ze
The music identification program that is Shazam has been available for a while now. But, their latest premium offering, Shazam Encore is a new addtion to their line up. When it was announced I was kind of left wondering what exactly was in Encore that was not available in the other versions. The free version allows for look up, purchasing and sharing music but the premium version, Encore adds a whole lot more.
Premium Features:
Learn more about the music: Read track and album reviews, artist biographies and (starting in North America initially) view song lyrics, plus find other music available from the same artist.
Options to find similar music: Discover other music similar to the track you like, to enhance your music collection and knowledge.
Find out what's hot and popular: Access to Shazam music charts generated by millions of other users in your country.
Music search capabilities: Enabling you to easily find music by artist, album or track from a database with over 8 million songs.
That's quite a few additions to an already great app. Do they justify the $4.99 price point? Guess that depends on the user. But for myself, I can't really see me paying the cost for the additional options so I will stick with the free limited version that is also available in BlackBerry App World.

Michael D. Barber | Michael D. Barber & Associates, P.C.
Michael's training as both a prosecutor and defense attorney gives him the ability to interpret what the other side is considering and thinking in regards to a clients case.
Working for his family law firm in Dunwoody, Georgia familiarized Michael with Debt Collection, Contracts and Agreements, Family Law and Real Estate. Making a foray into criminal law with the City of Atlanta Municipal Court led to his criminal experience including traffic, DUI and drug-related cases.
Michael was invited by other county prosecutors to be a guest instructor for DUI courses at both the Georgia Public Safety and Training Center and county locations. He also had the opportunity to design and teach a class at the Atlanta Police Department Training Center, and assisted in redesigning the current DUI court system with the City of Atlanta Municipal Court.
His training at the Georgia Public Safety and Training Center (GPSTC, the same training center where State Troopers receive their training and where all police officers supplement their training) helped Michael learn what both the police and State Troopers learn to make their DUI cases.
After returning to defense work, Michael continues to help those in need. His range of skills goes from defending the unjustly accused to representing major lending corporations. His Real Estate expertise involves not just contract, lease and eviction problems but also evaluating map and plat documents as well as closing issues. He has had the opportunity to operate in Family Law as both a plaintiff and defense attorney, as well as working on Child Legitimation and adoption cases.
I was arrested for DUI and open container. Micheal Barber and Brandon Rosenbloom worked together to have my charges reduced to reckless driving. I am thankful for their time, knowledge and the outcome of my case.

Q: Previously adding restrictions Okay, being completely honest, i don't know how more to make it clearer, this question has been deleted 3 times, maybe people don't actually read what i say at the beginning, which said perfectly what i wanted. Anyways, for the fourth time, i want to ADD RESTRICTIONS TO THIS LIST OF LAWS, they are all different laws, and if you don't ever know what a restriction is, it means i want to add for which cases the laws listed ACTUALLY WORK, because for example log(-2) does not work. I actually found a nice answer before which suggested this, i made a little change.
For all $x\in (0,\infty)$
$$\log(x^n)=n\cdot \log(x)$$ For all $x, y\in (0,\infty)$ $$\log(x\cdot y)=\log(x)+\log(y)$$ $$\log(\frac{x}{y})=\log(x)-\log(y)$$ For all $x\in (0,\infty)$. For all $b\in (-\infty, \infty)$, for all $c\in (0,\infty)\setminus \{1\}$
$$\log_c(x)=b\implies x=c^b$$ For all $x,a \in (0,\infty)$ For all $b,c\in (0,\infty)\setminus\{1\}$ $$\log_b(a)=\frac{\log_c(a)}{\log_c(b)}$$ $$\log_c(b)=\frac{1}{\log_b(c)}$$ $$\log_e(x)=\ln(x)$$ $$e^{\ln(x)}=x$$ So just for confirming, is everything what i wrote above correct?

A: That looks good to me. (And I suppose your previous questions were closed because there's not much to do other than link to a page of identities, like here: https://mathworld.wolfram.com/Logarithm.html)
One thing I might do is generalize your (currently) last identity
$$\huge b^{\log_{b}\left(x\right)}=x$$
