LAST WEEK I asked: will the liberalization of sugar trading be good for the industry and the consumers?
But there is no response whether it will also be good for the consumers. The government simply reiterates its plan – liberalize the industry. Without saying so, common sense tells us that high prices of sugar are bad for the consumers because they have to carry the brunt of the high cost of a basic food, not just directly ingested but as necessary ingredients to other food products that millions of Filipinos consume each day – from babies to adults. Even the diabetic tries to take some.
I believe that the government had given its answer to the above question and is sticking to it: liberalization is good for the consumers and since there are more consumers than producers, it follows that the government will take the side of the consumers. A low sugar price in the market reduces the inflation rate – the only indications that economic bureaucrats look at each day to project the future. Sugar is an indicator in determining the nation's inflation rate.
Sans therefore the intervention of President Duterte, the plan for liberalization of the sugar industry as with rice is a matter of time. Not even Congress can stop it, much less politicians.
Politicians, especially those running in the elections, will understandably proclaim their support for the producers when they speak in a place like Negros, where there are many people involved in the industry, but will be singing a different tune when confronted in other provinces where there are no producers and lots of businesses that complain about the high cost of sugar. Consumers do know that imported sugar is cheaper and will be happy with liberalization and angry at politicians advocating sugar import controls.
There is no way the Philippines can compete with other large sugar producing countries like Thailand, Australia and now India. The other day world raw sugar price is P16.45 per kilo; ours is P29.50 – give and take a few cents. Is it fair to force the consumers to pay so high a price? The answer is obvious.
In effect, the consumers subsidize the Philippine sugar industry. Is that fair? Again, the answer is obvious.
But here is a seeming anomaly. The American consumers pay P62 per kilo for raw sugar. Similarly then the American consumers subsidize the American sugar industry, more than we do for the producers.
Now, we export sugar to the US at P1,273.68, the price paid to the producers. That is P25.47 per kilo. Thus we also subsidize the Americans. This is done through force by the Sugar Regulatory Administration that sets aside a portion of our sugar for the US market although our entire production is lower than our consumption. If all our sugar were sold here, the producers will have a little bit better price. So why is SRA forcing the producers to sell to a low priced market and deprive the producers a few more pesos? Does that make sense?
The government economic managers are intent to open up importation. The reality of world prices against ours makes our sugar based products for export less competitive without hope of ever competing. We are no longer the biggest dollar earners. Food producers are a rising exporters, dollar earners.
Liberalization should begin with SRA to not force the producers to sell to the US but to the local market even if it gave just a few more pesos. Sure, I understand our international commitment, but the US will understand, it can buy (soon) from Cuba and other cheaper markets. The SRA commitment should first be the Filipino producers.
Of course I understand that without SRA having to allocate or regulate, it has no more reason for being. But as I said, SRA as presently constituted and mandated is already redundant and must be changed.


» How Much Water Should You Drink Every Day?
On a daily basis, the human body loses water, even when you're not purposely working up a sweat. The amount, of course, varies depending on your activity levels and climatic conditions. The body is however tuned to tell you whether you need to replenish your water reservoir. Your breath, skin, and muscles may be telling you that your body is running low on water. Moreover, your body depends on water to survive. Every cell, tissue, and organ in your body needs water to work correctly. For example, your body uses water to maintain its temperature, remove waste, and lubricate joints.
There is no replacement for water. Drinking sodas or coffee can exacerbate dehydration. Worse yet, sodas, processed fruit juices, and other sweetened beverages are primary sources of fructose, which will only deteriorate your health and worsen the situation.


I don't have much information about cavetown other than what it says on his Bandcamp page. It's one guy named Robin and he says "I make music 4 fun in my spare time and sometimes post it here!! hope u enjoy my stuff :) ." It's almost as endearing, warm and innocent as the music itself. In a lot of ways it gives me the same feeling I get when I listen to Youth Lagoon although the music is quite different. Robin sounds hopelessly young but he owns it with his delivery and the clever lyrics he sings. The songs on his album Gd vibes are mostly centered around guitar and vocals but he does implement electronic elements on occasion to create some variation.
When I got to the end of the album I thought about Conor Oberst and Bright Eyes. Bright Eyes made melancholy music with philosophical lyrics but Oberst never had much of an endearing naivety that he embraced. He got mad about and tried to explain it like a second year philosophy major but I never felt much of an endearing acceptance of ignorance. I feel the acceptance of ignorance on Gd vibes. It's in his voice and it goes a long way since most of us no matter what age don't have it all figured out.

Q: Can we specify the ordering of records to be fetched by Debezium Postgres Kafka connect I am using debezium Postgres connector to publish messages on Kafka.
Messages in Postgres are not in ordered as per primary key. But I want to publish messages as per the primary key order.
Whenever I need to recreate Kafka to publish messages from starting,
I am manually executing clustering command on Postgres table to arrange the rows in order.
But I want to avoid this manual step.
Is there any way to configure it in Debezium?

Carnival Cruise Director Matt Mitcham's Next Challenge
Over the past few years, Carnival Cruise Line's Matt Mitcham has become the kind of cruise director people literally plan their vacations around.
"It's surreal," he admits, adding that it's also an honor. "I know how valuable vacation time is to people, so to have someone book a cruise because I'm there is the best feeling in the world. I take it seriously and I try to deliver every time!"
Mitcham's winning smile and personality have made him a favorite with Carnival passengers!
His Next Big Challenge
Having served on a variety of ships over the past 12 years, Mitcham says that experience has helped him figure out exactly what works for him. "I don't sing, I don't dance," he laughs. "I try to be as genuine, as real, and as personal, as I can be. I think that works for me. It's gotten me this far, so I'm going to keep doing it!"
In fact, it's worked so well that next year, he'll be taking over as cruise director on the ship that's had people buzzing since it was first announced, the Carnival Mardi Gras. The fact that this will be not only the line's newest but biggest ship, is a challenge that Mitcham is definitely ready to meet.
"I don't change how I am or how I operate," based on ship size he says. "But with a bigger ship, like Vista or Mardi Gras, I have more guests. So I need to make sure that I get out there that little bit more in order to interact with all of them."
Mitcham says that ideally, he has an opportunity to interact with every passenger on board. (Photo by Tyler Kaufman/Getty Images for Carnival Cruises)
That's an objective he takes very seriously. "The worst thing you can say to me at the end of the cruise is, 'Oh, you're my cruise director?'" he admits. "If you don't know who I am by day four, then I'm not doing what I need to do. Well, either that or you're spending all your time in the casino, in which case, good luck! But my whole mission is for you to know who I am."
So You Want To Be A Cruise Director?
Mitcham realizes that "not everybody needs a cruise director. Every family has one. There's always someone who plans the entire cruise. I'm just kind of there to assist with it!"
One thing that has really assisted him in getting to know guests is social media."It's super helpful," says the active user of sites like Facebook and Instagram. "I can impact a group before they even board the ship.
For example, we had a group sailing on a recent cruise. I'd already 'met' 500 guests through their Facebook group before they even got on board. I'm able to post videos, get them excited, and they already know who I am before they get on the ship."
If it sounds like Mitcham is having a blast, that's because he is. So what does he tell young people who might want to pursue a similar path? "Drop out of high school now," he deadpans before adding with a laugh, "No! Don't do that, child! Stay in high school! Honestly, go to college and do your sporting first!"
As exciting as his job is, it's not something to be taken on too soon. "I get some 19-year-old kids asking, and I don't believe anybody is ready to be away from their mother at that point," he suggests. "This job is super addictive. So I would say go to school first, mature yourself. Then come out and see us at 22, and you can honestly make the best career."
Lest you think he's simply a corporate cheerleader, the enthusiastic employee insists, "I'm not just saying Carnival is fantastic because I work for them. They have great benefits, they really do care for their crew and take care of them."

Another benefit he's found since joining Carnival is one the company can't necessarily guarantee: love. But that's what he's found in girlfriend Chloe Giguere.
"She's a Playlist Productions performer," says Mitcham, his face lighting up. "She was in the inaugural cast on Carnival Vista, and I was the cruise director. She chased me down… no, truth be told, I chased her down!"
That was three years ago, and things have been — forgive the pun — smooth sailing ever since. Currently serving as the Carnival Vista's cruise director, Mitcham is already eagerly anticipating his next assignment.
When asked which of Mardi Gras' themed "zones" he's most excited about, he answers without hesitation. "I'm big on the Lido area. Did you see the roller coaster and the waterslides?"
The two-story tiki bar on board Mardi Gras will give Mitcham an additional entertainment space! (Rendering via Carnival Cruise Line)
The two-story Tiki Bar which will anchor the Lido zone has also made quite the impression on Mitcham, who'll be joined on Mardi Gras by entertainment director Hugo Hidalgo.
"It's funny, because, for the deck parties, I run around and try to interact with as many people as possible," he says. "I saw that tiki bar and thought, "Oh my, now I've got to go up another flight of stairs!" But that's gonna be a huge attraction! The people-watching from up there will be amazing. And on New Year's Eve? That's gonna be the go-to spot, right there!"
Have you had an opportunity to cruise with Matt Mitcham yet? Will you be joining him at some point after Carnival Mardi Gras launches?

In the Alaska court system, court proceedings and court files are open to the public, with certain limited exceptions such as Child In Need of Aid proceedings. This can present a challenge to parties to a divorce action who may not want their finances to be a matter of public record. The court system does protect the parties' Social Security numbers to a limited extent. Here are a few tips to discuss with your divorce attorney to protect your finances from becoming part of your court file.
• Personal tax returns. Where child support is an issue, you will be required to file your tax returns and wage information with the court. You should request your attorney to black out the Social Security numbers on the tax returns.
• Personal financial and investment account statements. Your attorney or the opposing attorney may want to use personal bank statements, investment statements, and other financial data such as loan applications, mortgage statements, or credit card statements as trial exhibits. You should request your attorney to remove bank account numbers, except for the last four digits, and social security numbers on any trial exhibits. You and your attorney should check your spouse's trial exhibits to make sure that they have also removed bank account numbers and social security numbers.
• Settlement agreements. If you and your spouse negotiate a property and/or custody settlement agreement, one of the attorneys will reduce the terms of the agreement to writing. The agreement will be filed in court for approval by the judge assigned to your case. To protect your financial information, the agreement should include a description of the asset or liability and it should indicate how each item has been allocated in the property division. It should not include values or account numbers. Since the judge will need to know how the parties arrived at their property division, the settlement agreement should state the parties have attached a property table in an envelope marked "Confidential." This property table should show the values the parties used to arrive at their property division so that the judge has sufficient information to approve the settlement agreement. But if the agreement is clear that the table is confidential, then only the judge will have access to the table, which will not become part of your court file.
Since every case is unique, you should discuss any concerns you have about protecting your financial data with your attorney.

I'm doing a little blog swap with Steph from Made in Mogotes! You can head over to her blog to read a little bit about me that you didn't know! Thanks for stopping by Steph. You have an awesome and inspiring story!
My name is Steph. I'm from New York. I love to travel and learn about other cultures, so when I finished university, I went to live in London for 4 years. I met my Colombian boyfriend there and when he invited me back to live in his rural Colombian village, I packed my bags and lived there for the last 6 months. While I was there, I met a bunch of women who have an amazing talent making handbags and accessories from a plant called fique (in the pineapple family). They have very limited access to internet, don't speak English and live an hour from the next town so they didn't have an outlet to sell their work. So I decided to set up Made in Mogotes (www.madeinmogotes.etsy.com), a business to help them share their talents and show their work abroad. I'm back in New York now for a few months to help spread the word and switch to a business visa.
What was the best moment of your day today?
Well, I only woke up a few hours ago so not too much has happened. I went to Canada last weekend to see one of my best friends and she gave me a whole bunch of crumpets to take back with me. When I was living in London, those were one of my favorite things to eat for breakfast. So the best moment of my day so far was probably enjoying a crumpet when I woke up.
Traveling to new countries, long train rides, wrapping my hands around a hot cup of delicious tea on a winter morning, the smell of used book shops, photographing fascinating people, shopping for dresses in London markets, mulled wine, reading a book I can't put down, interviewing people, the front porch at my parents' house, chocolate sheet cake, walking around with my camera and finding an amazing piece of street art around the corner, Moroccan tagines, getting an article published, spending time with friends and family.

A STUDENT had her lip bitten off by her ex-boyfriend - because he wanted to "leave his mark on her".
A year later, Kayla Hayes spoke out out about her ordeal, sharing photos of her horrific injuries.
She broke up with him after almost a year, because he treated her like "property".
A few weeks later, she met up with him so that he could "right his wrongs" before joining the Navy - but he became violent when she refused to get back with him.
Kayla, now 19, said: "I met him down the street, he had flowers and cards, one about getting back together.
"After reading the cards, he asked: 'Don't you have anything to say?' and I told him I was not there to get back with him.
"He told me to get out, so I did, and he threw everything at the back of my head. Once I got back into my car, my leg was shaking so uncontrollably that I couldn't move.
"I saw him draw a breath and try to kiss me, as I pulled away he clenched down.
"I remember him latching onto me and my body being in shock, I didn't feel any pain apart from the tear and I started screaming.
"He then dragged me by the hair and slammed the door in my face and drove off. It was crazy."
While she's "relieved" he's in prison, Kayla has been left with permanent scarring.
She continued: "My surgeon had to cut all around my face and cheeks to bring the two sides of my lip together because it was torn off completely.
"I find myself insecure over the scars, it's very hard as a young woman especially, but I can define my scars or have them define me, they show my story and what I have overcome.
"A piece of me died after the attack, at times I feel a great deal of sadness but now when I think about that day, I know I'm a stronger person today."
"I have been told Seth did it intentionally and wanted to leave his mark on me for my next boyfriend.
"Seth was very controlling and treated me like property not a girlfriend, he was very manipulative."
Happily, she's now found love with Blake, a friend who's supported her since she was in hospital.
Kayla said: "He is amazing, he would hold me even when I was covered in stitches and told me I was beautiful. He picked up the broken pieces.
"He played a humongous part in my recovery and picked me up on my hardest days.
"He showed me that not all guys are like my ex and that there are good people out there."
Kayla is fundraising to pay off her medical bills and future treatment, as well as return to school.
She was forced to withdraw from college - where she was studying to become a dental hygienist - and as a result, lost a scholarship.
She now hopes to focus her studies on domestic violence-related issues.

The Spotted Owlet is a small owl commonly found in Pakistan and Southeast Asia. A common resident of open habitats including farmland and human habitation, it has adapted to living in cities. They roost in small groups in the hollows of trees or in cavities in rocks or buildings. It nests in a hole in a tree or building, laying 3–5 eggs.
The Spotted Owlet is small (21 cm) and stocky. The upperparts are grey-brown, heavily spotted with white. The underparts are white, streaked with brown. The facial disc is pale and the iris is yellow. There is a white neckband and supercilium. Sexes are similar. The flight is deeply undulating. The nominate form is darker than the paler forms such as indica of drier regions.
In Pakistan they have been found to take mostly insect prey. This species is nocturnal but is sometimes seen in the day. When disturbed from their daytime site, they bob their head and stare at intruders. It can often be located by the small birds that mob it while it is perched in a tree. It hunts a variety of insects and small vertebrates.

Halt in major events in Baguio City quashed
He may have cancelled the opening parade of this year's Baguio Flower Festival and postponed the holding of the Cordillera regional athletic meet but this does not mean that all major activities and events in the city have to be stopped.
Mayor Benjamin Magalong on Wednesday has rejected calls for the cancellation of the holding of night market along Harrison Road as a measure to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV). He said shutting down all areas where the public congregate will only create a false sense of panic.
"Kapag ipinatigil natin 'yung night market, ipasara na rin ang mga supermarket. Isara na rin lahat. We cannot be hostage to the (novel) coronavirus scare," Magalong said.
On the same day, the Public Information Division of the City Mayor's Office belied the statement issued by the Department of National Defense citing that in accordance with Magalong's order of a "lockdown" in Baguio, the Philippine Military Academy alumni homecoming has been reset.
"Baguio City is not on lockdown. Only the postponement of government-sponsored events that would attract large crowds in the next three weeks was announced as a preventive measure against the 2019 novel coronavirus," the statement reads.
The mayor said he does not have to go to the extent of cancelling all crowd-drawing activities for the local government of Baguio has in place a surveillance system, Barangay Emergency Response Team, strategic, and mitigating measures to act on any eventuality.
He said his decision last week to cancel the flowerfest opening parade, Session Road closure, and postponement of the Caraa is a proactive measure meant to protect the public. The mayor said this is the reason why he did not yet make any announcement regarding the holding of the streetdancing and floral float parades scheduled Feb. 29 and March 1.
Magalong said he will issue his succeeding directives based on the recommendation of the Department of Health, the City Health Services Offices, and experts in the medical field.
The mayor said he is aware those in the business sector are complaining about the downside of his cancellation of some big events in the city, but he stood by his decision that it is better to be proactive.
"It is better to overreact, kaysa naman magsisi sa huli. The decision is not based on political undertones. It's prudent and the need of the time," Magalong said.
Following the mayor's announcement, the Philippine Military Academy has, for the meantime, stopped the entry of tourists.
In Benguet and in Kalinga, some local chief executives have also issued directives suspending tourism-related activities in their localities.
Atok Mayor Raymundo Sarac suspended tourism activities in the municipality, beginning Feb. 6.
Aside from the suspension, Tinglayan, Kalinga Mayor Sacrament Gumilab also created the municipal novel coronavirus task force.
In Abra, Gov. Joy Bernos also created a TF that will be in charge of handling cases related to the 2019-nCoV. – Rimaliza A. Opiña

First, rather than arranging their text around the traditional grand theories of personality, Larsen and Buss have instead used a framework of six important domains of knowledge about personality functioning: the dispositional domain, the biological domain, the intrapsychic domain, the cognitive-experiential domain, the societal and cultural domain, and the adjustment domain. Progress in the field of personality psychology in the last 20 years has continued to reinforce the fact that these domains of knowledge best represent the state of affairs in personality psychology. In addition to the major organizing themes (the six domains), Personality Psychology 7e also differs from other personality texts in the importance placed on culture, gender, and biology, areas of personality that have shown substantial growth in recent years.

Jota takes super sub to new level in Wolves win
By Nicholas MendolaDec 12, 2019, 6:35 PM EST
Sometimes the phrase "game changer" is used a bit too loosely, but there's no debating Diogo Jota fit the bill to a 't' on Thursday.
Wolves scored four times in 11 minutes, three coming courtesy Jota, as the Premier League side buried Besiktas 4-0 in Europa League play on Thursday.
Jota entered in the 56th minute, scored in the 57th, and completed his hat trick in the 68th.
[ MORE: Who can Wolves draw in UEL? ]
Nuno Espirito Santo's men had already clinched a place in the knockout rounds before the match day, and finish one point below Braga in Group K.
Jota has five goals in five days after scoring twice against Brighton on Sunday. The 23-year-old had an up-and-down season to start but has been mostly good over the past half-dozen games.
He has 37 goals in 107 matches with Wolves, including nine in all competitions this season. He scored nine times last season after a 17-goal campaign in the Championship.
Leander Dendoncker had Wolves' other goal, with the day's assists going to Oskar Buur, Joao Moutinho, and Pedro Neto.

WATCH: USMNT winger Boyd opens Besiktas account in Europa League

By Nicholas MendolaNov 7, 2019, 4:04 PM EST
Besiktas' Europa League campaign was on life support, and a USMNT winger picked up the paddles.
Tyler Boyd has his first goal with his new club, drawing level with Braga in Portugal with a tight move and smooth finish.
[ MORE: Americans Abroad ]
Boyd, 24, had been an unused sub in four of Besiktas' last five matches, and his lone start was the side's 2-1 loss to Braga at home in Turkey.
Handed another chance away from home, Boyd is on the board. Besiktas has since given the lead back to Braga ahead of a huge second half.
Boyd was recalled to the USMNT by Gregg Berhalter earlier Thursday.
Tyler Boyd's cruyff level is 💯

Three players (and a tactic) under the microscope for USMNT
Photo by VI Images via Getty Images
By Nicholas MendolaOct 8, 2019, 3:53 PM EDT
It's becoming pretty clear that what the public wants to see from the United States men's national team is not necessarily in lockstep with what Gregg Berhalter wants to see from the squad (aside from obviously goals and wins, which have both been in short supply).
He made this pretty clear last month, for better or for worse, when he defended his side's myriad errors in playing out of the back against Mexico. He'd made it clear over a longer period of time, too, with the continued call-ups for a certain subset of players who have been poor for club and/or country.
[ MORE: Schweinsteiger retiring ]
That happens with a lot of managers, and we still love Berhalter's ability to squeeze something good out of lesser materials as he did with the Columbus Crew. While we admit to not being particular high on the manager's squad selection, he shouldn't have problems over the course of the two month's CONCACAF Nations League matches with Canada and Cuba.
If he does, well, we're going to be having a different conversation. And to be frank, that didn't seem like anything worth worrying about just a few short months ago. Berhalter had been overrun by Tata Martino and Mexico in the Gold Cup Final, but honestly did a decent job in marshaling his men toward a result (Jozy Altidore atypically missed a big chance to score on the night).
Everyone's allowed to make mistakes, but last month's remarkably poor performance against Mexico rolling into a match versus Uruguay's B-Team which was rescued by an increasingly impressive winger named Jordan Morris ('Member him?).
But Cuba and Canada present two very different challenges for the United States over the next eight days. Cuba is the type of side the U.S. should boss 95 percent of the time, with bad fortunate possibly contributing to the occasional draw.
The attackers are going to be under pressure to produce this month, due to the fact that they, well, won't be likely to face
Cuba has only one player on its roster playing outside of the Caribbean and Central America, and that's USL striker Luis Paradela (who just came to Reno with the notable status as the first Cuban to play in the U.S. without defecting).
Canada presents a big threat to the U.S. back line, but its defenders should not be a match for a Christian Pulisic-led attack.
This is a week for the attackers.
Disclaimer: You won't see us putting Christian Pulisic on this list for numerous reasons despite his status as an on-again, off-again lineup member for Chelsea. There is no doubting his acumen as a USMNT player and little reason to expect he'll be anything but fantastic against these CONCACAF foes. If for whatever reason he isn't a freed being against Cuba, or is rested, the chance to out-duel fellow CONCACAF phenom Alphonso Davies would be something he'd embrace even if he was going 90 on a religious basis for Frank Lampard.
1. Josh Sargent — Jozy Altidore's latest injury has expedited the need for another CONCACAF killer, perhaps a new one. With Timothy Weah also injured, Sargent is the one.
Make no mistake about it: These games are not even in the ball park of "make or break" for the 19-year-old, who has started Werder Bremen's last three Bundesliga matches. Bremen coach Florian Kohfeldt has opted for five different formations this season, deploying Sargent as a right wing four times and center forward twice.
But a strong showing or two could conceivably cement Sargent's status as the top striker in the program. Playing at a high level with Christian Pulisic amongst others would also help, because chemistry will be key in World Cup qualifying and Sargent can make a statement with his boss under pressure and both Altidore and Weah on the sidelines.
Sargent should have every opportunity to feature against Cuba and Canada, and we may see Berhalter put the teen in the lineup against Cuba on Friday and let his performance determine whether he keeps his place or sees Gyasi Zardes return to the fold against Canada.
2. Corey Baird — The Real Salt Lake man would be on the fringes of the national team picture under a lot of coaches, but Berhalter has liked what he's seen from the 23-year-old. Baird started Berhalter's first USMNT friendlies and is still in the fold. He's come into club form heading into the last two international breaks, and is now called up for the fourth separate camp.
He's gotta find a goal or standout cameo at the minimum, especially considering the players (Altidore, Weah) who will soon return to the fold. Baird has a goal and an assist from the left wing over his past two RSL matches as the club snapped out of its doldrums ahead of the playoffs.
3. Tyler Boyd — What a year it's been for the one-time New Zealand striker, who took a loan to Turkey with both hands and earned a permanent transfer for a Champions League club and a new international registry.
Boyd is having fits and starts with Besiktas, and it's fair to say that's also been the case for the USMNT. He scored a pair of goals on his Gold Cup debut against Grenada, but was kept on the bench for the semifinals and final.
We're not going to pretend that we see every Besiktas match, but the metrics for Boyd's early performances have not been good. To be fair, no one had been playing that well for the 12th place side before they beat first place Alanyaspor at the weekend. The bad news is that Boyd was stapled to the bench, as he was three days prior when Besiktas lost to Wolves in the Europa League.
Like Christian Pulisic at Chelsea, this camp can be a welcome chance for Boyd to unleash his tools. Cuba is a bit easier to break down than Wolves or Trabzonspor.
BONUS. Playing out of the back — Gregg Berhalter bristled when asked about his side's poor play against the Mexican press and his stubbornness in sticking with the attack all the way through a brutal loss to a rival.
If his men can't do it against Cuba, forget about it.
This is going to be an under-the-radar test for Berhalter, who has continuously opted to use a mauler of a center back (Aaron Long) who is a heck of a tackler but lacking in the passing department. With Matt Miazga back in the fold and the chance to pair him with either Tim Ream or Miles Robinson, behind Michael Bradley, what will Berhalter choose and how well will it work?

USMNT's Boyd signs with Besiktas
By Daniel KarellJul 15, 2019, 4:11 PM EDT
Add another American to the list of players who will be playing in UEFA competitions this fall.
Turkish giant Besiktas announced on Monday that it had signed winger Tyler Boyd to a four-year contract in a transfer from Portuguese side Vitoria Guimaraes. Boyd has had a pretty impressive last six months, from scoring six goals in 14 games with Ankaragücü in the Turkish Superlig on loan, to scoring goals and making the Gold Cup roster for the U.S. Men's National Team.
[READ: Transfer Rumor Roundup]
Beşiktaşımıza Hoş Geldin Tyler Boyd 🦅 Welcome to Beşiktaş @Tyler__Boyd 💪 pic.twitter.com/zxCdpPE1aS
— Beşiktaş JK (@Besiktas) July 15, 2019
The New Zealand-born pacey winger completed a one-time switch to play for the USMNT in May, and he went on to score a brace in the USMNT's Gold Cup opener against Guyana. While Boyd made five appearances for the U.S. this summer, he was left on the bench as the U.S. bowed out to Mexico, suddenly appearing out of Berhalter's plans as quickly as he entered them.
Regardless, this is a great move for Boyd, assuming he can get some first team minutes. It's a big step up from Ankaragücü to play for Besiktas, which not only includes the heated Istanbul derbies against Fenerbahce and Galatasaray, but next season will also include at least six matches in the UEFA Europa League. By finishing third in the Turkish league, Besiktas earned a place direct in the Europa League group stage.
Of course, like we saw this summer with the USMNT, Boyd has to break into a more talented group of players and earn minutes, both for league and European matches. If he's not playing much, it's possible we won't see much of him with the national team, as Jordan Morris gets regular playing time as well as others in that position like Timothy Weah, Corey Baird and possibly Kenny Saief, now that he's back with Anderlecht.
Boyd is undoubtedly a talented player. Hopefully, this move up in stature and pressure can help the 24-year-old take his game to a new level.

Fulham brings revitalized Babel back to the Premier League
Photo by Dean Mouhtaropoulos/Getty Images
Ryan Babel is back in the Premier League, at least for the next few months, after spending the better of the decade away from English football.
The ex-Liverpool winger, 32, will wear the white of Fulham for the rest of the season, heading to Craven Cottage from Besiktas for the rest of his contract.
[ MORE: Morata to Atleti? ]
The deal runs through the season, which has seen Babel score six goals in 19 matches.
From FulhamFC.com:
"My first impressions are good and I'm very excited. I definitely have faith that Fulham can stay up. That's one of the reasons that I'm here, to try and help that to happen. I'm ready to go, I'm excited and I can't wait."
Capped 54 times by the Netherlands, Babel has traveled a lot since leaving Liverpool in 2011. He made stops at Hoffenheim, Ajax, Kasimpasa, Al Ain, and Deportivo la Coruna before heading to Besiktas in 2017.
He scored a career-best 15 goals in all competitions for Besiktas last season, his top campaign since bagging 10 for Liverpool in 2007-08.

We have extensive expertise in designing, manufacturing and assembling mechanical, electrical and hydraulic functionality for a variety of products. We have our own in house experts in this field who consider the mechanical, electrical and hydraulic aspects from the outset of a project so they can be fully integrated into the design.
Integrating the mechanical, electrical and hydraulic features of a product into the design from the outset potentially avoids costly alterations at a later stage in the project. We provide project management throughout the development of a product, from initial design and manufacture to assembly on site and final commissioning.
We have worked on a broad range of projects that have incorporated mechanical, electrical and hydraulic solutions including the Cambridgeshire Guided Busway track laying gantry crane, lifts for double deck lorries and Cathedral Green Swing Bridge in Derby.
We offer our mechanical, electrical and hydraulic services as part of our complete fabrication and manufacturing service. We provide a convenient 'one stop shop' in engineering services, saving our customers time, effort and money.
For more information regarding our mechanical, electrical and hydraulic services, please contact us on 0114 248 3711 or email us.
