It was a great privilege to be invited to perform at the 2015 ClarinetFest in Madrid, Spain. I spent a week of July in this beautiful city, meeting some amazing clarinetists and friends, playing great music, and enjoying plenty of sightseeing. My recital featured two American works for clarinet and piano: Leonard Bernstein's Clarinet Sonata and Peter Lieuwen's new work, Bright River (2014), with this performance being the official European Premiere. I was thrilled to be joined by my friend Sasha from London.
I was also delighted that Peter (the composer) flew all the way with his wonderful wife attended our concert with his nephew who happened to be living in Madrid. It was the first time Peter heard Bright River being performed. I am looking forward to see him again during my residency at Texas A&M University in College Station, TN in September where I will perform this work again.
Post recital dinner at a local restaurant, where I had a kangaroo burger!
Due to a last-minute absence by a clarinetist in KoMo Clarinet Quartet, I was invited to fill in the spot for their concert at the end of the week. I not only got to play some fun music, but was very fortunate to become good friends with Useon, Geonju and Maxine, all wonderful musicians and people!
Among many other things I got to do in Madrid, the visit to Muso Prado singularly stands out. The museum houses some of the greatest works that are familiar to us. I was more impressed by its unique organization and distinct taste of the Spanish monarchs who curated the selections throughout past many centuries.
I and Grace wanted to visit Two Ten Jack since we first spotted it few months ago (we were then with the Larchmere String Quartet and having lunch with them at nearby vegan restaurant Wild Cow just after performing at WPLN Classical 90.1). It was quite good, and we plan to come back!
Our evening at Nan Thai Fine Dining was much for satisfying. The place looked fantastic and had complimentary valet parking. The menu was sleek and easy to navigate. Most importantly, the food tasted really good and very reasonably priced.
It is remarkable how time flies so fast. For us, it was a perfect place for us to reminisce our past two years of high-paced but extremely fulfilling life together. Our choices: Pla Muk Thod (crispy calamari) for appetizer; Grace ordered a special pork dish (the best choice of all), I got a chicken Panang curry, and we both got Singha. We would certainly come back here and recommend the place to anyone who happen to pass by Atlanta for some delicious Thai food.


aus Atlanta, dem tiefen Süden der USA sein.
Erstmals, wird sie in Deutschland, mit ihrer Originalband, dass aktuelle Grammy nominierte Album "Debris" vorstellen. Malone die in Amerika mit US Größen wie Sheryl Crow, Lucinda Williams und Bonnie Raitt verglichen wird, spielt exclusiv, nur diese eine Show, auf dem Schöppinger Blues Festival.
Michelle Malone has been making hard-edged albums that combine blues, folk, rock, and country music for more than 20 years, but still remains criminally underrated as an artist. With a few exceptions, Debris is a blues-rock outing delivered with her trademark gritty vocals, solid guitar work, and a handpicked band that includes guitarist Peter Stroud (Sheryl Crow), keyboard player Tony Reyes (Gwen Stefani), longtime collaborator Phil Skipper on bass, and Dave Anthony (Butch Walker, Ike) on drums. Nick DiDia (Bruce Springsteen, the Black Crowes, Train) produces with a light hand to keep the sound raw and dirty.
"Marked" sounds like a Rolling Stones outtake and likens breaking up to a car crash or drive-by shooting; Malone's vulnerable vocal underscores the song's desolate feel. "Feather in a Hurricane" is tougher, with noisy slide guitar complementing Malone's snarky delivery. "Restraining Order Blues" bounces in on a Bo Diddley beat; Malone recites all the damage she's done to her ex's property and possessions with a cynical smirk in her voice and celebrates her acting out, even as she's cuffed and put into a police car. "Weed and Wine" recalls the happier days of a relationship behind a sadder but wiser beat and a wistful organ that sounds like the whistling of a far off freight train promising rescue and redemption. "Chattahoochee Boogaloo" is a tough bluesy country song about wild girls sneaking out of the bedroom windows on summer nights to explore the mysteries of womanhood, marked by stinging slide guitar and Malone's crooning vocal. Malone breaks the frame with "14th Street and Mars" an R&B ballad with a '60s flavor and an outstanding vocal, and "Candle for the Lonely," a lament delivered with acoustic guitar and subtle melancholy country piano from Reyes.
Armed with a bottleneck slide, blues harmonica, and her signature soul-filled vocals, Michelle Malone was born in the Deep South and grew up listening to her mother sing in the church choir every Sunday. When it came time to craft her own sound, she took those religious roots, blended in enough rock, folk, and blues to satisfy. The result is, Debris, a high-spirited stripped down blend of rootsy acoustic slide, gritty electric blues and explosive vocals that harkens back to the lost recordings of Bonnie Raitt, Lucinda Williams and The Rolling Stones.
Debris, Michelle's 10th release, is easily one of her most revealing and emotional discs. Helping her capture the mood is producer Nick Di Dia (Nick has been Brendon O'Brien's engineer for 15 years, and has worked on recordings by Springsteen, Pearl Jam, Train, Matthew Sweet). Says Malone, "Nick is brilliant, and we found that we work very well together. He was able to translate the live grit of "Feather In A Hurricane" and "Undertow" and in the next breath illustrate his sensitivity and finesse on "14th Street and Mars" and "Debris". He let the songs take us where they wanted to go.
Malone found herself tackling some serious subject matter while at the same time making that spirited soul-shaking music that she loves. She says, "I have to play these songs every night, so I need them to be fun – I want to have a good time, too." If one line could capture the sentiment of Debris it would be, "Don't you think it's time to let your childhood go?" Michelle expounds, "Debris is basically a breakup record about a relationship that had me in a state of arrested development for over a decade. I wrote about the anger, the heartbreak, the humor, and the relief I finally found in the end." Joining Malone in the studio were long time friend and heavy hitter Peter Stroud on guitar (Sheryl Crow), Phil Skipper on bass (Tinsley Ellis, Drag the River), Tony Reyes on keys (Dallas Austin, Gwen Stefani), and Dave Anthony on drums (Ike, Butch Walker).
The names of Michelle Malone's ten albums serve as an autobiography; New Experience, Relentless, For You Not Them, Redemption Dream, Beneath the Devil Moon, Home Grown, Hello Out There, Stompin' Ground, and last year's critically acclaimed Sugarfoot. She has been on dozens of "Best Of" lists and won many awards throughout her career including 4 time best album (Atlanta magazine), 2 time best acoustic guitarist (Creative Loafing, IAC), Best Blues Guitarist (IAC.com), and 5 time female vocalist of the year (Creative Loafing).
Living a paraphrased line by one of her inspirations, Tina Turner, Michelle has never done anything nice and easy. She bit the major label lure and despite promises broken, indulgences extended and excesses expected, Michelle continued creating solid songs, introspective, energetic and impressive forays into bluesy rock as well as tasty pop nuggets. This wealth of material has enabled Malone, to tour and record for over 20 years, averaging over 200 days a year on the road. Michelle's live show is not to be missed—she can make the biggest venues seem as cozy as a campfire, and an intimate venue feel like the center of the universe. She's shared stages with blues legends Albert King, Charlie Musselwhite, Johnny Winter, Little Feat, Lurrie Bell, ZZ Top, Robert Cray, Keb Mo, Tinsley Ellis, Marsha Ball and Chris Whitley as well as Indigo Girls, John Mayer, Steve Earle, K.T. Tunstall, Shawn Colvin, Jackson Browne and Joan Osborne.

Stocks making the biggest moves in the premarket: Disney, DoorDash, Snowflake, Fisker & more
May 14, 2021 May 28, 2021 by admin 0 Comments
Take a look at some of the biggest movers in the premarket:
Walt Disney (DIS) – Disney shares dropped 3.9% in premarket trading after growth figures for the Disney+ streaming service fell short of Wall Street predictions. Disney reported better-than-expected profit for the first quarter, but revenue was short of analysts' forecasts.
DoorDash (DASH) – DoorDash surged 8.2% in the premarket after first-quarter revenue came in above analysts' forecasts, and the food delivery service raised its annual forecast for order value. First-quarter results got a boost from stimulus checks, although the company said those same checks were responsible for drivers working fewer hours.
Snowflake (SNOW) – The cloud computing company was upgraded to "buy" from "neutral" at Goldman Sachs, which notes the Snowflake's strong competitive position, as well as a drop from recent highs that is much larger than its peers have experienced. Snowflake jumped 5.7% in premarket trading.
Airbnb (ABNB) – Airbnb posted a first-quarter loss, but it also reported better-than-expected revenue as well a 52% jump in gross bookings as more Americans received Covid-19 vaccinations and travel restrictions eased.
Coinbase (COIN) – Coinbase reported record profit during the first quarter, as the cryptocurrency exchange benefited from a significant rally in bitcoin and other digital currencies. Coinbase shares rose 2.3% in premarket action.
Kansas City Southern (KSU) – The U.S.-based rail operator accepted Canadian National Railway's (CNI) $33.6 billion takeover bid, casting aside the $29 billion deal it had previously agreed to with Canadian Pacific Railway (CP). Canadian Pacific has five business days to make a counter-offer for Kansas City Southern. Canadian National added 2.9% in premarket trading, while Canadian Pacific rose 1.6%.
Tyson Foods (TSN) – The beef and poultry producer sold its pet treats business to General Mills (GIS) for $1.2 billion. The sale includes the Nudges, Top Chews and True Chews brands as well as an Iowa production facility.
General Electric (GE) – Citi reinstated coverage of GE with a "buy" rating, based on a "sum of the parts" valuation and better execution across GE's portfolio of businesses. GE shares added 1.1% in premarket trading.
Aurora Cannabis (ACB) – Aurora Cannabis tumbled 8.7% in premarket action after it reported lower-than-expected fiscal third-quarter revenue, hit by pandemic-related restrictions in Canada. Separately, the cannabis producer announced a move in its U.S. stock listing to Nasdaq from the New York Stock Exchange, citing lower costs.
Fisker (FSR) – Fisker soared 14.5% in premarket trading after the electric car maker signed a deal with contract manufacturer Foxconn to co-develop electric vehicles. Plans include opening a new U.S. manufacturing plant in 2023, although a location has not yet been finalized.
Poly (PLT) – Poly tumbled 19.5% in the premarket after the maker of audio and video products issued a weaker than expected outlook. The company formerly known as Plantronics said it expected the global semiconductor shortage to negatively impact its supply chain. It did, however, report better-than-expected profit and revenue for its latest quarter.
Unity Software (U) – The 3D content creation platform company rose 3.2% in the premarket after Oppenheimer upgraded the stock to "outperform" from "perform." Oppenheimer said the current price is an attractive entry point given Unity's growth prospects.

We are in the midst of a love affair with Indian food. It's getting pretty serious. Soupy lentil dishes, fragrant rice pilafs, vegetable curries...each meal we make surprises me with its richness and complexity. I'm learning that plain yogurt is a necessity in any number of Indian recipes and chopped cilantro isn't nearly as strong (read: awful) as I remember. If we make it through a week without an Indian-spiced main course, I'm disappointed. And, if Doug isn't careful, I'm going to make him build me a tandoor oven.
The cookbook that has been our guide - Neelam Batra's 1,000 Indian Recipes - is out of place on my cookbook shelf, namely because there is not a single photograph inside. But, the recipes themselves, with their directives involving warm spices and brightly colored legumes, are just as enticing as photographs of the same. I'm poring over the head notes of each recipe, trying to build a culinary map of the regions of India. It's a delicious journey.
We've been making good use of our creative provisions, but what I'm enjoying about Batra's cookbook is that she acknowledges the American cook who might not have access to a range of specialized Indian ingredients. The basic supplies of an Indian pantry - cumin, coriander, turmeric, rice, lentils, hot chile peppers, ginger - go a long way.
And if you have those, there is no reason not to make the vegetarian dinner below. The cauliflower dish is simple and well-spiced (be careful with the chile peppers!) and hearty. The rice is dry in that distinct Indian manner and has a rich nuttiness from the ghee. And, the yogurt raita entirely steals the show. I never expected to enjoy a cool, tangy side to my piping hot, belly-warming food. It was my gateway drug.
This is quick to make and responds well to substitutions. I didn't have fresh ginger and found ground ginger to work well. I skipped the mango powder and garam masala and didn't find the dish lacking. And, the original recipe calls for peas, but since that would have caused a small mutiny in my household, I skipped them altogether.
Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat and cook the green chile peppers, stirring, about 1 minute. Add the cumin seeds and fresh ginger (if using); they should sizzle upon contact with the hot oil. Quickly add the coriander, ground cumin, turmeric, and ground ginger (if using). Then, mix in the potatoes and cauliflower. Add the water gradually while stirring. (The original recipe calls for only 2 tbsps of water, but I found more water to work better. See what works best for you.) Cover the pan and cook, over high heat the first 2-3 minutes, and then over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are soft, 20 to 25 minutes. During the last five minutes, mix in the cilantro and mango powder. Transfer to a serving dish, sprinkle the garam masala on top, and serve.
If you don't have, can't find, or choose to forgo the ghee, I think any oil with a higher smoke point (i.e. not olive oil) would work well here.
In a medium bowl, soak the rice in the water about 30 minutes. Heat the ghee (or oil) in a large saucepan over medium-high heat and add the cumin seeds and black pepper; they should sizzle upon contact with the hot oil. Quickly add the rice with the water it was soaking in. Mix in the salt and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to the lowest setting, cover the pan, and cook until the rice is done, 10-15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let the rice rest, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter, garnish with cilantro, and serve.


At the age of nine — after seeing a TV show about beatniks — Alan Webster proudly announced to his father "When I grow up, I'm going to be a beatnik artist". He then received his first lecture on getting an education and not becoming a lazy bum upon reaching adulthood. Alan has succeeded in his life long quest of being an artist, and no one has yet called him a lazy bum — at least not to his face!
In high school art class Alan focused on jewelry making and bronze casting, which lead to majoring in silversmithing, sculpture and ceramics in college. It was while studying sculpture that he was introduced to mold making. After graduating with a BFA in design, Alan went into business as a studio potter for ten years and also worked in a sculpture foundry for seven. He then started Heartland Art Bronze, a successful art foundry which he operated for 17 years before selling in 2003. Since then he has focused on making sculpture molds, doing business as Sidekicks Precision Molds.
Alan likes to describe lifecasting as "three-dimensional photography." His partnership in ELS is part of a natural progression, combining his remarkable talents and skills as a sculptor, photographer and master mold maker.
Doug DuBois has relentlessly pursued creative projects since he was 5 years old, when he was inspired to build a wooden Batcopter in his father's workshop after watching a Batman episode. This turned out to be auspicious event, as it marked the beginning of not only a lifelong career in various creative shops, but also a lifelong passion for aviation. Building and flying radio-controlled airplanes as a teen turned into building and flying full-size aircraft as an adult. He also began building stringed musical instruments in his teens. Doug's self-learned design and fabrication skills led him to careers in industrial design, engineering and manufacturing, with highlights in the aerospace, pipe organ and pharmaceutical industries. He is considered a master craftsman by his peers and former employers.
Doug is inspired by the beauty of the human body, and is pleased to be engaged in a process that artistically captures its sensual shapes and forms. His eye for detail and practical experiences in a wide range of creative disciplines provide a nice complement to Alan's extensive sculptural background.
Doug's web site www.questiongravity.com is based on his personal propensity for committing aviation. He notes that lifecasting provides another way to "question gravity," and encourages everyone to preserve their form in a lifecast before gravity begins to have its way with it!
Laura Ramberg is a well-known Lawrence-area sculptor and art teacher. She is also the mother of five and a midwife, making her imminently qualified to assist with the creation of a pregnancy casting or "belly mask." She is also available to help custom-decorate your lifecasting or belly mask in a creative manner. We are happy to make Laura available for any clients who would be more comfortable having a female artist during their bodymolding session.

2-Methylbuttersäure ist eine chemische Verbindung aus der Gruppe der Carbonsäuren, genauer der Pentansäuren.

Isomere
2-Methylbuttersäure kommt in zwei stereoisomeren Formen vor.

Vorkommen
(R)-2-Methylbuttersäure kommt natürlich in Kakaobohnen, (S)-2-Methylbuttersäure in vielen Früchten wie Äpfeln und Aprikosen vor. Der Ethylester wird in Ananas und Orangen gefunden.

Gewinnung und Darstellung
Beide Enantiomere der 2-Methylbuttersäure können durch asymmetrische Hydrierung von Tiglinsäure mittels eines Ru-BINAP-Katalysators gewonnen werden.

Eigenschaften
2-Methylbuttersäure ist eine wenig flüchtige, farblose Flüssigkeit mit charakteristischem Geruch, die wenig löslich in Wasser ist. Der Geruch unterscheidet sich bei den beiden Formen deutlich. So hat (S)-2-Methylbuttersäure einen angenehm süßen, fruchtigen Geruch. Wohingegen (R)-2-Methylbuttersäure einen durchdringenden käsig, schweißigen Geruch besitzt. 2-Methylbuttersäure war das Produkt der ersten enantioselektiven Synthese, als der deutsche Chemiker Willy Marckwald 1905 in Berlin Ethylmethylmalonsäure mit der chiralen Base Brucin erhitzte und ein optisch aktives Produktgemisch erhielt.

Dubbel Vuurijzer (double Briquet), struck in Bruges under Mary of Burgundy, Duchess of Brabant, Limburg and Countess of Artois, Flanders, Holland, Hainaut, Zeeland and Zutphen.
Obverse: Two lions rampant combatant, fire-steel (briquet) above.
Reverse: Shield of Burgundy over floriated cross.
Mary of Burgundy (1457-1482), Duchess of Brabant, Limburg, Lothier, Luxemburg and Guelders and Countess of Flanders, Artois, Charolais, Hainaut, Holland, Zeeland and Zutphen (1477-1482).
Mary was the only daughter of Charles the Bold and granddaughter of Philip the Good. As the heiress to the vast and wealthy Burgundian domains in France and the Low Countries she was often referred to as "Mary the Rich". Mary ascended upon her father's death in the Battle of Nancy on January 5 1477. On 16 August 1477 she married Archduke Maximilian of Austria. To entice the Low Countries into providing support against the French King, Brabant was granted its 'Joyous Entry' and Holland and Zeeland their 'Great Privilege".
In 1482 she died after a fall during a hunt. Her son succeeded her as Philip IV of Burgundy (Philips de Schone / Philip the Handsome) under the guardianship of his father.


No, the only thing in the case link is names and dates and that it was about a structured settlement.
I do remember reading somewhere else about Freddie Gray receiving some kind of settlement and not needing money yesterday, but I don't know if I can find it again or how reliable that info was.
You hate in others what you see in yourself. Now, where did I read that?
Found the article I remembered that mentioned his settlement checks.
The lawsuit was about lead paint.
American Blacks have lost all the ground that had gained over the past 60 years.
No detail on what the settlement was for though, but he was receiving money from a settlement.
Well, good for him, I'd say.
See my edit above. I read too fast. The settlement was over lead paint, not spinal injury. Not that particular lawsuit anyway.
So, does the "rumor" still have the same weight as when we first read about it?
Police officials said Friday that they were in the midst of a "massive, meticulous" probe of the incident, and they appeared to be focusing on one segment of Gray's 30-minute trip in a police transport van. They said Gray, who was handcuffed and eventually put in leg irons, was never seat-belted, a violation of policy. Gray had made several pleas for medical attention, police said, and officers should have called for an ambulance immediately after his arrest.
Has it occurred to anyone that we are trying to make reason of insanity?
I do agree that if someone requests medical help, that should be provided... even in handcuffs. If nothing is found wrong, then it saves a malfeasance claim later.
Let's not assume that the lead paint settlement (pretty easily verified) and the car accident must be mutually exclusive; both could be true.
Here's a good summary of the car accident story that's pretty balanced and un-sensational.
So he didn't call 877 CASH NOW?
Part of "meticulous investigation" should focus on whether the officers had prior contact with officials of the victim's insurance company before their encounter with the victim.
No, not all cops are bad. I personally have friends who are cops.
Ok Fret! Good for you for finding this!
It does say though in that article: It must be noted however, that none of this is factually confirmed and we should research further.
Now that I look closer at that article, it is a copy from the same link on the OP and a twitter with the same stuff from the same link... Nothing new... just going viral I expect.
it's best not to do stuff that gets a cop's adrenaline and and testosterone pumping.
At 46, I still remember the broken bones I got twice from riding wrecking my bike as a kid. I broke my jaw hitting a car and broke both bones in my left arm clean through on a bad jump landing. Nothing between you and the pavement when you are on a bike.
and, i doubt that those cops would have done all that work peddling their bicycles unless the had Probable Cause.
if this stuff was true, i'd think it'd be leaked right away to prevent this crap from going on.
today's cops need body/dash cams and release info right away, because monkeys cannot wait for investigations before they fling their poo.

The American artist Michael Heizer is credited with inventing 'Earth art' or Land art' with his friend Walter De Maria after a series of trips to the American desert in the early 1960s.
Heizer would go on to redefine sculpture and its relationship to drawing in terms of scale, mass, gesture, and process. This drawing is a rare example of the artist's commitment to traditional modes of art making and its relationship to his unique sculptural practice. This work was presented by the Art Fund through Art Fund International and it complements and opens up a set of concerns explored in works by Robert Smithson, also presented to mima through the AFi scheme.

The film was released on December 16, 1994. "Dumb and Dumber" received generally positive reviews from critics and was a commercial success.

What is the Bitcoin halving and will it affect its price?
The Bitcoin halving is arguably one of the most important events in the cryptocurrency's evolution and historically drives its price
You may have heard talk of the Bitcoin halving, or 'the halvening' as it's sometimes called. But if you're wondering what it is and why it's so important, keep on reading below.
The unpredictable nature of Bitcoin
Bitcoin is a hugely unpredictable asset. Just as the entire community was preparing for a bearish trend last week, the world's number one cryptocurrency proved the naysayers wrong.
The astounding lurch in price appears to have been due to a culmination of factors led mainly by the Chinese President Xi Jinping's endorsement of blockchain technology.
BTC is certainly influenced by macro factors, but it's not always possible to predict whether they will affect its price.
Take Bakkt, for example. Its long-awaited and highly-celebrated launch was meant to be the catalyst for massive investment from institutions, but its first month saw Bitcoin futures contracts being traded in the single digits over 24 hours. Rather than be the starting gun for the next Bitcoin bull run, Bakkt appeared to have been the false start. Until now.
∙ Today's volume so far: 1131 BTC
∙ Last traded price: $8,622.50
∙ Trading day progress: 54% (if this continues: 100% equals to 2095 BTC)
— Bakkt Volume Bot (@BakktBot) October 25, 2019
Bakkt's record-breaking trading day occurred right after the announcement of its new regulated options contract. It also coincided with Bitcoin's highest intraday gain since 2011 with a 42% price bounce.
But let's be honest, no one knows for sure whether Bakkt's record day had any impact on the bull run, or whether it was the CME futures expiration dates, China, or the S&P all-time high.
In such a nascent industry, it's very hard to find events that have a predictable effect on Bitcoin's price. However, the Bitcoin halving has historically sent the price of BTC into the stratosphere.
The Bitcoin halving
Coming up in May 2020, many people in the industry expect the Bitcoin halving to have a major impact on the asset's value. So, what exactly is it and why could it drive the price?
The Bitcoin halving (sometimes referred to as 'the halvening') is an event programmed into Bitcoin's code. It happens after every 210,000 blocks have been mined (approximately every four years) and the block reward paid out to miners for keeping the network secure is cut in half.
When Bitcoin began in 2009, the block reward was 50 BTC. Currently, after two halvings in 2012 and 2016, the block reward stands at 12.5 BTC. The next Bitcoin halving in May will reduce the reward to 6.25 BTC.
Why does this matter and how could it affect the price? Because the Bitcoin halving has so far shown a perfect track record for ascending its price.
Bitcoin's capped supply and why it matters
As you may know, one of Bitcoin's most important features is that it has a fixed supply of 21 million Bitcoins. This means that once they have all been mined, no more can ever be created. This makes it scarce by nature with a deflationary effect over time.
This is in stark contrast to fiat currency, which can be (and is regularly) printed at will, diluting its value for its holders.
If Bitcoin did not have a capped supply, its purchasing power would be slowly eroded over time, as is the case with fiat currencies. By restricting the supply, Bitcoin owners will never have to deal with this problem, which makes it and other cryptocurrencies a good store of value.
The Bitcoin halvening and in-built scarcity also increase Bitcoin's stock-to-flow ratio. The stock-to-flow ratio of a commodity is the amount of the asset held in reserves divided by the amount produced every year. The higher the stock-to-flow ratio, the reduced annual inflation on the asset. Commodities like gold have a very high stock-to-flow ratio as they are scarce, which means that less is produced over time.
Currently, Bitcoin has a considerably lower stock-to-flow ratio than gold. However, the Bitcoin halving increases the asset's stock-to-flow ratio over time, which makes it increasingly powerful and valuable. This is also the reason that Bitcoin is often compared to gold or referred to as "digital gold". Many people, including Bitcoin Quant investor Plan B, are convinced that Bitcoin's stock-to-flow ratio will increase over time and that its price will also rise.
#bitcoin price and stock-to-flow are cointegrated.
Only prediction I take from S2F model is that btc price will be >$100k before Dec 2021 (I did not calculate the exact time, but if btc is <$100k around that time, it becomes non-stationary). BTW a prediction is not a guarantee! pic.twitter.com/zbCiwCiqWG
— PlanB (@100trillionUSD) September 21, 2019
It appears to be inevitable that over the coming years, we will see Bitcoin's stock-to-flow ratio increase.
Previous Bitcoin halving events
If we take a look at the past to predict the future, the Bitcoin halving of 2012 happened when the price of BTC was around $11. Over the following year, it would reach a peak of over $1,100.
This translates into an astonishing price increase of 10,218%.
The next Bitcoin halving was in 2016 when Bitcoin was trading consistently sideways between $500 and $800. This time around, the price didn't immediately go up. For the first few months, in fact, nothing happened. However, at the end of 2016, the Bitcoin bull market began when the price broke $800 and ended in an all-time high in December 2017 at almost $20,000.
The upcoming Bitcoin halving in 2020
So, of course, the question on everybody's lips is whether the upcoming Bitcoin halving in 2020 will have the same effect on Bitcoin's price. Many people believe that it will – including John McAfee, who has doubled his price prediction now to $2 million by the end of 2020.
If you look at the last two halvings as evidence, it certainly seems possible that the upcoming halving could propel Bitcoin's price significantly.
However, it pays to remember that it's literally impossible to predict how any asset will react in the future.
It's highly unlikely that the bullish McAfee will be right with his $2 million BTC prediction. But, judging by past performance, it's also not impossible that we could see a significant run not too far on the horizon.

EXCLUDING the cash crop of oil palm, Malaysia's agriculture sector has not excited investors and large corporations. For the longest time, the sector has been dominated by smallholders and hardly has there been any listed company involved in say large scale vegetable farming.
But some changes are happening.
For one, the topic of food security has hogged the limelight, egged on by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Consumers have felt rising prices of staples such as vegetables and meat. The supply chain disruption has impacted the import and export of food products.
This in turn, has thrown up opportunities for some.
One group involved in livestock farming has expressed an intention to inject their assets into a listed company looking for a new business, says an investment banker.
"They think the time is right, considering all the focus on food security these days, " says the banker.
The agriculture industry must embrace technology such as IoT, AI and big data for future food security. (Agroz Indoor Vertical Farm)
In another development, large palm oil groups are venturing into agriculture-related businesses, from dairy farming to pineapple and coconut cultivation.
They are planning to do this on a large-scale and as a means to diversify income streams.
Last March, one of the country's largest oil palm players IOI Corp Bhd said it had a five-year plan to plant other crops on some of its land.
The other crops are coconut, durian and pineapple, with the idea of using up to 4% of its land, which works out to around 6,000 ha of land in Malaysia.
The idea is to reduce its dependence on oil palm, while at the same time improving its soil conservation and increasing land output.
Presently, IOI has 177,000 ha of oil palm and only 1,100 ha of rubber and coconut planted areas across its 96 estates.
Another oil palm major diversifying into agriculture is United Plantations Bhd which has gone into banana and coconut plantations as part of its diversification efforts.
FGV Holdings Bhd is also going big into pineapple cultivation. Interestingly FGV is also venturing into dairy farming, a move that has taken some investors by surprise.
Aside from increasing the profitability of its plantation hectarage, FGV says it is tapping into the booming demand for fresh milk and dairy products both in Malaysia and Asean.
Malaysia's fresh milk industry is mainly an import market. According to the Veterinary Services Department, the deficit level for fresh milk has almost doubled from 13.3 million litres in 2014 to 26.1 million litres in 2020.
Other listed companies such as Fraser & Neave Holdings Bhd and Rhone Ma Holdings Bhd have also diversified into the fresh milk and dairy industry to tap into growing demand.
Moving forward: The agriculture industry must embrace technology such as IoT, AI and big data for future food security. — Agroz Indoor Vertical Farm
Then, there is The Holstein Milk Co, which owns the Farm Fresh brand. Holstein, which was founded in 2007 with just 60 cows, now has 3,500 cows in its two farms in Johor and Pahang, according to its website. Its products of milk and yoghurt are sold in supermarkets across Asean. It counts Dymon Asia Private Equity and Khazanah Nasional Bhd as its shareholders and media reports have indicated last year that the company is seeking a listing on Bursa Malaysia.
Another well-publicised agriculture venture by corporations is the cultivation of durians, largely for the China export market.
Besides hearing anecdotal stories of businessmen and even some foreign parties buying up durian plantations or starting one organically, one big news was the venture by Royal Pahang Durian.
Topping that story must surely be the entry of former CIMB Group Holdings Bhd chairman Datuk Seri Nazir Razak's investment worth RM18mil in a durian plantation business by acquiring some shares in PLS Plantations Bhd in the latter's placement exercise that took place early this year. PLS said the fund raising was to set up a durian business hub and to expand its existing durian plantation businesses through the cultivation and planting of more durians at the group's existing plantation land and at other third parties' land.
The news came as a surprise especially with Nazir's background in the banking industry.
Listed agriculture companies
Aside from the oil palm plantation players that are mainly run by government-linked companies (GLCs) and large public listed companies, there are only 15-20 companies out of 900 companies listed on Bursa Malaysia in the agriculture sector.
Many of these companies are in the business of poultry and egg production such as Leong Hup International Bhd , QL Resources Bhd , Lay Hong Bhd and CAB Cakaran Corp Bhd .
This sub-sector is rich in case studies for progressive business models within the agriculture industry, which have expanded beyond the small-scale family farms.
For example, Leong Hup has come a long way from the days of rearing chickens in the family's backyard in Muar, Johor back in the 1960s to become the largest poultry producer in Malaysia today.
Leong Hup was established in 1978 and since then has gone through several mergers and acquisitions to become one of the most diversified poultry players both in Malaysia and in the region.
The group has expanded its reach into Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam and Philippine markets.
But why can't local businesses involved in fisheries, vegetable and fruit farming as well as the livestock industry grow to a similar size?
One reason is the huge profitability of oil palm cultivation has made the other crops less attractive.
Land issues are a big problem. Astramina Advisory managing director Wong Muh Rong explains: "Many in the food farming industry are cultivating their products on either government land or on short-term leases from landowners. They can't seem to get funding due to the lack of collateral".
Adding to the complication is that land issues are managed at the respective state levels, which is a challenge for entrepreneurs to secure sizable plots. As a result, aside from palm oil and rubber plantations, there are hardly any other large-scale plantations in the country, not even for durians, says Wong.
"Malaysia lags behind countries like Thailand and Vietnam in the agriculture sector, " she adds.
Sunway University professor of economics Yeah Kim Leng concurs. "Oil palm is a proven success of Malaysia taking on large scale plantation activities, achieving constant improvement in yields and efficiency due to big investment by the private sector.
"But the country has not been successful in food agriculture. The government needs to incentivise the private sector to look into other crops to enhance research and development (R&D) and better management practices to increase yield and productivity, " he says.
Yeah says the poultry industry had also done well due to private sector investments in building up capacity.
He reckons Malaysia has yet to tap into its full potential in fisheries and cattle farming.
"With food imports continuing to grow especially with the change in consumer appetites, the country needs to ensure its staples are sufficient for food security, " he says.
A size problem in Malaysian farms
The challenges among food farmers in Malaysia had been highlighted by two former leading Malaysian politicians.
In January last year, former Finance Minister Tun Daim Zainuddin pointed out in a commentary that the local agriculture sector is too convoluted owing to bureaucracy, a problem which has held back many aspiring young farmers. He pointed out only a few are able to break these barriers with their experience and contacts.
Meanwhile, former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad wants Malaysia to look into mixed crops on a large scale especially in vegetable and fruit farming to reduce the country's dependency on food imports. Malaysia imported almost RM50bil worth of food in 2019. In a recent blog, he highlighted that "there is something wrong with agriculture in Malaysia" and that "even after independence, we still have locals owning small, uneconomic landholdings."
He points out the country has not made attempts to correct the situation despite knowing that smallholdings cannot be efficient or economical.Mahathir suggests amalgamating the smallholdings to have big enough estates for mixed farming projects that would bring bigger benefits and earnings.
"This proposal should be given a try. This project will not only secure our supply of vegetables but would save a lot of foreign exchange, " he says.Another problem is cost. Many entrepreneurs are not willing to put in the kind of investments needed to become successful exporters of food crops.Datuk Tom Chow Chin Kiat, founder and executive director of Agrofresh International Group Sdn Bhd, has made such investments but done so in Cambodia, where land is cheap.He is an exporter of a Cavandish variety of bananas. In 2013, he set up a company in Malaysia and tied up with Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) to engage in R&D and to set up a set of standard operating procedures (SOPs) for farms to engage in contract farming for bananas. But he says, "Many are not willing to invest in the SOPs. To export, you need packaging facilities and can only use certified materials or pesticides. Otherwise you will run foul of the export standards".
Innovation and technology adoption is also lacking among local growers and farmers, as is an eco-system that helps create a value chain of products related to the farms.
Other challenges that farmers face include labour issues, weather uncertainties and the supply of water and fertiliser.
While demand for food is growing from an increasing world population, farmers are facing bigger challenges to produce bigger output with land restriction.
According to Agroz Group Sdn Bhd founder Gerard Lim Kim Meng, technological adoption and digitalisation have been lagging in the agriculture industry due to lack of awareness and the
government's initiatives.
Internet of Things (IoT), big data analytics and other emerging technologies could further increase yields and efficiency across crop cultivation to livestock farming especially for small scale players, he says.
"With technology, farmers could increase their yield and you don't really need additional land to be profitable. At the same time, it could address labour issues and attract more young generations to get into the industry, " he says.
However, Lim says there is not enough awareness in the agriculture industry on technological investment that makes it difficult for companies and farmers to raise capital.
He points out that the government allocation for the agriculture industry is still traditional, focusing on subsidies for seeds, fertilizers and pesticides.
"We need more incentives to modernise the industry, " he adds.
Agroz Farm is a commercial large scale and industrial-grade indoor vertical farm, which aims to address the issue of Food Safety, Food Security and Sustainability in Malaysia.
Sunway Group chief innovation officer and Sunway iLabs Director Matt van Leeuwen says the imbalance in Malaysia's food import presents a good opportunity for entrepreneurs to build innovations that address food security, safety, and resilience of the food supply chain.
"There has not been a clearer wake-up call to revive and strengthen our agriculture sector than now.
"Clean, safe and sustainable food production has a direct correlation to a nation's economic growth and the population's well being and we hope that both public and private sectors, including the consumers, will step up to play a role to strengthen food security in Malaysia.
"It can't be stressed enough that this should happen in a sustainable and environmentally friendly way so that our next generation can also benefit from it, " he says.
Malaysian agriculture is at a crossroads. The whole sector needs rethinking and change especially with the increasing food prices globally that could benefit both the business owners and consumers in the long run.

A framework that provides instructional leaders and staff with a core set of criteria for what a high-quality curriculum entails. This guide includes annotated samples and exemplars from districts around the country. It also provides actionable recommendations for developing, implementing, and continuously improving upon a district curriculum, ensuring that it reflects shared instructional beliefs and common, high expectations for all students.
A set of indicators districts might use to track their progress on implementation of college- and career-readiness standards.
The purpose of this booklet is to help school districts across the country get ready for the new PARCC and SBAC assessments in English language arts. The booklet will briefly summarize important features of both major common core assessments—PARCC and SBAC—outline major challenges that school districts will need to attend to when planning for these assessments, and present proposals and recommendations to school districts to help them in the planning process.
The Council of the Great City Schools surveyed the progress urban public school districts are making in implementing the CCSS. This report presents the results from this third-year survey.
This document is designed as a self-assessment tool for districts to gauge their progress in implementing college- and career-readiness standards. While we hope that the document is useful to a wide range of staff throughout the district, the tool was primarily designed to help central office leaders and staff assess implementation at a systems level.
n this report, the Council analyzes student performance on 2013 released NAEP items that reflect the content and rigor of the common core standards, explores how and where classroom instruction may have fallen short of preparing students to succeed at such tasks, and discusses what changes to curriculum and instruction might help districts advance student achievement.

Q: Can not calling get() on pathos apipe() result lead to excessive memory usage? If you use a pathos ThreadPool and call apipe() a large number of times, but never call get() on the result, does this possibly lead to pathos internally accumulating state (and thus using up memory)?

A: Without details on the version of python, pathos, etc you are interested in... I can give you a general answer. Calling apipe from a ThreadPool instance generates a ApplyResult object.  Calling get() on the instance of an ApplyResult object will return the result corresponding to the inputs to apipe being evaluated.  So, what happens before you call get? The exact details depend on the version of python and pathos, but generally, when you call apipe, an ApplyResult instance is generated, and the evaluation of the inputs to apipe are dispatched to a new thread. The ApplyResult instance has a pointer either back to the pool, to a queue, or to some other object that will 'receive the result' when get is called. The evaluated result produced in the new thread is stored in memory until get is called... or until the object that holds the result is deallocated from memory (however that happens).  This memory storage most likely happens in an object in the threading module... but it may be elsewhere, depending on the version of python, pathos, etc.  Were you to delete the appropriate object, and dealloc it from memory, then you'd never need to call get to release the memory.  However, the short answer is "likely yes", not calling get will fill up your memory unless the result, the return object, and/or other objects with pointer refs to the result are deleted.

So far, we created a custom business object "Bonus Plan" with a simple data structure and application UI. This business object is there to save employee specific rules for bonus entitlement.
Example: Bonus plan gets an ID automatically and is checked for consistent data.
Thanks for this serie of Blogs!
When I go to Custom Business Object and go to Fields and Logic I cannot find any section with "Determination Logic".
for logic implementations it's essential that the custom business object is in status "Published" and a possible draft version (for a change after last publish) was already published again as well.
As you do not get the Determination and Validation section at all, I assume you missed to publish the very first version of your custom business object.
you have to check "Determination and Validation" (below "Name in Plural"). To be able to do this, you have to "Edit Draft" before. Afterwards you have to publish again and then you will finally be able to do implementations.
I am very sorry, that this essential step seems to have gone lost in the blog.
I will update it next.
I keep getting the error "Class YY9_DAMK_B4C9A49833AF1930BEA8A could not be saved" when I try to save the Implementation. Could you please let me know when does this error occur?
Is it related to the user authorization? OR any other syntax error? I can although see that the class mentioned in the error message is already created at the backend.
please excuse the late reply, I was sick last week.
Sorry, but I cannot provide support on the shown topics, please open a ticket to BC-SRV-APS-EXT-BO in case your issue still persists. As the message is quite generic I fear it can have many reasons. I would exclude a syntax error as this should be marked in the editor already.
Great blog and examples here. Can you recommend the best guide for covering the scripting language used here?

Florida Softball Prepares For Diamond 9 Tournament
Jake Winderman February 19, 2016	Gators Softball, Gators Sports 571 Views
Florida Softball (6-0) has been dominant to start the season, opening up undefeated, and outscoring opponents by a margin of 54-1. The Gators are coming off of a doubleheader sweep vs. Jacksonville, in which the pitching duo of Aleshia Ocasio and Kelly Barnhill combined for 16 strikeouts and only one hit allowed. Florida head coach Tim Walton described the Gators' stellar pitching performance and defense as a whole.
On Friday, Florida will kick off the Diamond 9 Citrus Classic with match-ups against UAB at 3:30 p.m., followed by a game vs. Stephen F. Austin at 5:45 p.m. While the Gators' offense is only averaging nine runs per game, their defense and pitching has been stellar. The team's one run allowed through the first six games is their best start to the season since 2009. in which they allowed one run in their first eight games. Florida pitcher Aleshia Ocasio credited the team's defense for their strong start thus far and previewed the team's upcoming tournament in her home area of Orlando.
Outfielder Taylor Lorenz has been stellar to start the season, batting .533 in 15 at-bats. Lorenz has driven in nine runs thus far off of eight hits and two doubles. The rookie is one of only three players currently batting above .500. While Lorenz has shown success as a freshman, senior Taylore Fuller has been one of the leaders of the team this year, batting .538 through the first six games, with five RBI's. Fuller was a member of both of the Gators' back-to-back national championship teams.
The matchup between UAB and Florida will be the first time the two teams have met since 2012. Junior JoJo Fallen leads the Blazers' bats, hitting .438 with a .526 on-base percentage. Madison Hir is the team's leading pitcher, with a 2.47 ERA in just over 11 games. The Blazers are 3-13 all time in the Diamond 9 Citrus Classic.

If you aren't familiar with Pitti Uomo, it's the little brother to Milan Men's Fashion Week and takes place in Florence. Held bi-annually, most of the attendees opt for three-piece suits, but with guest designers invited seasonally, it also brings the fashion pack with it.
That much was apparent to observers – including our faithful documenter Yu Fujiwara, who recently photographed attendees on the streets during the AW18 show season. "Despite the recent genderless movement, Pitti Uomo feels very macho in a way, but at the same time with a 'boys will be boys' sort of charming-ness as well," he says.
Fujiwara – always withdrawn from any sort of spectacle – gave no time to potential Pitti peacocks, instead capturing the true essence of the event and going beyond the main venue to capture the city itself. What did he find? Alongside some dapper gentlemen and those with a love of streetwear, some local authority officials. Oh – and plenty of curious locals too.
Head to the gallery above for the full selection.


Dysentery (flux or bloody flux) broadly refers to gastrointestinal disorders characterized by inflammation of the intestines, especially the colon.
Dysentery is most often caused by Shigella species (Shiga bacillus, is the most virulent of the four serogroups of shigella) or Entamoeba histolytica (amoebic dysentery). The first one is associated with environmental conditions where poor sanitation is prevalent, while amoebic dysentery is most commonly found in tropical areas.
The signs and symptoms of dysentery usually last five to seven days but the course of the illness varies among individuals, as do symptoms.
Exposed individuals may experience either mild, severe, or even no symptoms at all.
Dysentery is commonly spread among humans through contaminated food and water. Animals can also be infected and spread the disease to humans.
Untreated dysentery can lead to severe dehydration and may be life-threatening.
In order to determine if a patient has dysentery, stool and blood samples must be provided for laboratory testing.

An investigation of the performance of a ribbon and small planar magnetic transducer, made for use in air, as an underwater acoustic velocity sensor
16Sep_Kwon_Honorato.pdf (8.906Mb)
Kwon, YoungWoo
Honorato, Javier
Kapolka, Daphne
Baker, Steven R.
The use of vector sensors in sonar receiving array applications is an area of active investigation by the U.S. Navy. A vector sensor combines the outputs of a monopolar (pressure) sensor co-located with one or more orthogonal dipolar (velocity or, more commonly, pressure-gradient) sensors to achieve a modest (5–6 dB) amount of directivity at a single point. The directivity of an array formed using such sensors is also modestly improved by the same amount. More importantly, though, the azimuthal angle ambiguity that occurs in the beam pattern of a line array of point pressure sensors is removed by employing vector sensors instead. This thesis describes an investigation into the underwater use of a pressure-gradient transducer technology that has been employed in airborne acoustic applications for many years (mostly as a source), but, to our knowledge, has heretofore never been employed under water. The devices examined include planar-magnetic and true ribbon transducers. The planar-magnetic transducer is very closely related to what was developed first (i.e., the true magnetic ribbon transducer). The same as an ordinary magnetic loudspeaker or microphone, both the planar-magnetic and true ribbon transducers employ a mutually orthogonal electrical conductor, magnetic field, and axis of motion of a diaphragm. We present the results of measurements made both in air and water of the transmitting and receiving responses of a planar-magnetic and a true ribbon transducer. We also present a procedure for the free-field reciprocity calibration of a pressure-gradient transducer.

It just doesn't get much worse than "Prizefighters." I remember when GTR introduced this song during their only tour, I disliked it then and this version is worse. Take one guitar hero, several members of his old band, and add a great vocalist – how could it miss? Feedback 86 is a collection of leftovers reportedly penned for the ill-fated second GTR album. When I first read of an album featuring Steve with vocalist Chris Thompson (Manfred Mann, Mike Oldfield) and Nick Magnus on keys I figured this should be pretty good. The result? Bad songs, really bad lyrics, drum machines and Bonnie Tyler. You'll be lucky if you can last through "Cassandra" (wasn't this on the American version of Guitar Noir?) with its monotonous riff and repetition of the word "Cassandra." Steve has had two good ones with Guitar Noir and Darktown — we really didn't need this dose of radio friendly rock. Truthfully this is easily as bad as Open Your Eyes by Yes. Feedback 86 misses so bad it would be pointless to carry on, for me it only means Till We Have Faces is no longer the worst Hackett album.

On Saturday 15th July 2017, two of our residents, one of whom is a member of The Oxford Welsh Male Voice Choir, visited the Morriston Tabernacle (known as the Nonconformist Cathedral of Wales). The event was a joint concert with the Morriston Rugby Football Club Male Voice Choir. Afterwards everyone enjoyed a lovely buffet generously laid on by the hosts and we returned home safely at 1.30 am on the Sunday morning.


In this study, a new perspective has been introduced that how leadership can help influencing customers in an intelligent manner through behavioral sense making. Behavioral sense making can be utilized by leaders while sensing behavior and emotions of customers in a game designing organization. As compared to other organizations where role of leadership is only limited and restricted to service climate and any substantial efforts are neither made to maintain a contact between leadership behavior and customer's behavior. In many other financial organizations, role of general manager is only limited to enhance the service climate and to motivate employees so that they can enhance customer satisfaction. However, in gaming industry where leaders have involved themselves in scriptwriting, story-writing, production, and direction of games so they develop a frontline behavioral relation with customers through these activities. Therefore, it is important to present a different behavioral based knowledge managed leadership model for such organizations.
