Market Watch: Who To Buy and Who To Sell: Derrick Rose and More
by Matthew Bellerose
The first week is in the books! We have learned the Stephen Curry can't be stopped, Kobe Bryant refuses to go away, and the Pistons hate their bench. There is no reason to over-react to your struggling stars. In fact, it may be a good idea to trade for one of these slow-starters. There are also some bright bulbs that are shining brighter than expected that you might want to get off your hands while they're still hot.
BUY LOW
Gordon Hayward SF Utah Jazz
Hayward is off to a very slow start this season, which bodes well for all of those looking to help out an owner over-reacting to some of their slow-starters. He is the focal point of the Jazz offense, especially without Dante Exum, so ball will always run through his hands. Last year he averaged over 19 points, 4 assists and almost 5 rebounds and a steal and a half per game. This year he is only at 12 points and under 4 rebounds and 3 assists so far while averaging the same amount of minutes. There is a high expectation for him to return to form, especially after starting off the season completely on the road. Listen to some smooth Jazz and watch Hayward's smooth stroke as he fills the box score each night.
Chandler Parsons SF Dallas Mavericks
Parsons is making his way back from surgery, but in a new look Mavs offense, there is room to improve. There is no longer Monta Ellis stealing shot attempts, and Wesley Matthews is also coming off of an injury, so Parsons will be the go to guy behind Dirk. He will not provide an immediate boost as he is still on a minute count, but once the reins come off it is all upside from there. He won't be a great all around category producer, but 5 rebounds 4 assists and a steal are not out of the question along with the upside of 20 points per game and a few 3's.
Jabari Parker PF Milwaukee Bucks
The Bucks have the opportunity to surprise a lot of teams in the league with their surprising young talent. This week will be the last opportunity to buy low on Parker as he will be returning to action. The Bucks have plenty of young talent but their issue is that neither Giannis Antetokounmpo nor Michael Carter-Williams are the best shooters, but both are great play-makers. Greg Monroe will draw in the big defenders leaving Parker to do a lot of the offensive damage. Last year in his short term he put up decent steal numbers which will only boost his value. Buy him if you still can and watch him rack up huge numbers, and the Bucks slowly creep up the standings.
SELL HIGH
Kevin Martin SG/SF Minnesota Timberwolves
Martin is currently averaging over 28 minutes a game and over 20 points a game. The issues here are that he is coming off the bench behind Andrew Wiggins and Tayshaun Prince, while also sharing time with LaVine and Muhammad. He is the elder in the group and in a rebuilding offense; they will slowly lower his production. His total production is basically only points as he provides no help in any of the other categories. Look for an owner buying points and try to get a multi-category producer in return. There is no room for upside in a crowded rotation that is looking to get their young stars the ball, and lower the minutes of the veterans as the season progresses.
Isaiah Thomas PG Boston Celtics
Oh the dreaded GBC (that's guard by committee) that destroys fantasy value. The Celtics are the anti-Pistons this year as every man in their deep rotation gets a good shot of playing time. Thomas is currently the front man, and while he is indeed their best scoring option, his playing time will limit his production. He can definitely rack up 6 or more assists per game, but he will not be able to consistently put up 20 points a game coming off the bench in a GBC. He is also averaging a very solid 2 steals a game to start this season, but has only ever averaged more than one once in his career. Don't be too willing to sell here, but if you need all-around production try to go on a journey for Goran Dragic or Kemba Walker who are both off to relatively slow starts.
Derrick Rose PG Chicago Bulls
Do you remember the year 2011 when Derrick Rose became the youngest player ever to win the MVP award? I know that I don't. Sell the name while you still have a chance. A former MVP has now put up three straight games in single digit points. D-Rose is looking like he should be in the D-League. The past three years he has not played more than 51 games in a season, and he doesn't really enjoy playing much defense either. Yes he still has the ability to drive and score and put up a handful of points an assists but he is shooting a solid 0% from 3 to start off the season, the touch might be lost. To put this in perspective through 5 games his total number of steals, blocks, rebounds, and 3's made, is only 2 more than his number of turnovers. Rose has found a new love for the good ole pastry and has forgotten how to pad the stats, which is what we fantasy owners love. Especially if you are in a league that counts against turnovers, sell him now if there is still a chance and see what he can bring in return.

Abrus Adanson
Fam. pl. 2: 327, 511 (1763).
LEGUMINOSAE
x = 10, 11, 12; Abrus fruticulosus: n = 12, 24, 2n = 22, Abrus precatorius: n = 11, 2n = 22
Major Taxa and Synonyms
Major species Abrus fruticulosus Wight & Arn., Abrus precatorius L.
Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines: saga.
There are 4-20 species in Abrus, the number depending on how a species is defined. The genus is distributed pantropically, with 2 species in South-East Asia including the whole of Malesia.
An extract of roots and leaves is used in traditional medicine to treat cough, hoarseness, digestive disorders such as gastralgia, and aphtha; it is also used as a diuretic. The seeds of Abrus precatorius have also played an important role in the treatment of conjunctivitis in various parts of the world. Macerating 3-5 seeds in 1 l water and applying drops of the liquid to the eye produces an inflammation of the conjunctiva, which used to be considered a cure for granular conjunctivitis. This practice has been abandoned because it appeared to be dangerous and uncontrollable. Although extremely toxic, the seeds have been used against malaria and dysentery, in conjunction with other drugs. In India, Abrus precatorius has a considerable reputation in the Ayurvedic, homeopathic, Unani and allopathic systems of medicine. The seed is one of the components of an oil applied to expel worms and against itching and skin diseases. It is also used to prepare an aphrodisiac and for a paste to remove piles, as an antidote when poisoned, and to treat glandular swellings and ulcers. It is used to induce abortion. Extracts from the seeds are used in Africa for the treatment of urinary schistosomiasis.
Leaves and roots have been used in various countries to sweeten foods. The leaves of Abrus fruticulosus are employed to sweeten traditional medicines used in central Thailand. The attractively coloured seeds of Abrus precatorius are often used as objects of art, ornaments or mascots; they are used as beads in rosaries and necklaces. They have also been used in soldering jewellery; when macerated in water they become mucous, and this sticky substance was mixed with solder to distribute it evenly and as a temporary cement prior to heating. In the Philippines, powdered seeds made into a paste have been used to poison darts and arrows. The stems have been used to tie together materials in harbour works. Abrus precatorius is often cultivated in Java as an ornamental.
Although Abrus precatorius is sometimes cultivated for its medicinal uses or for the sweetening properties of the leaves, there are no statistics on production.
Abrus precatorius seeds are extremely poisonous. They contain a toxic lectin fraction, usually called abrin, which is a complex mixture of toxic abrins and relatively non-toxic Abrus agglutinins. There are several methods for isolating the different toxins and agglutinins. However, there are so many isomorphs of the toxins (glycoproteins) that a number of subfractions (e.g. abrins A, B, C, D or abrins a, b or abrins I, II, III - all with slightly different characteristics) can be isolated, depending on the procedure used. Very little information is available on relations between the toxins isolated by the different methods; a gross relationship has been established on the basis of subunit compositions and sepharose 4B binding. From this, it can be concluded that abrin III probably corresponds to abrin C, and abrin I might resemble abrin A.
Typically, 100 g of seed kernels yield approximately 120 mg of abrin I, 150 mg of abrin II and 240 mg of abrin III. All abrins are glycoproteins (Mr 63 000-67 000), composed of 2 polypeptide chains (A and B chains) linked through a single disulphide bond. The smaller A chain inhibits protein synthesis at nanomolar concentrations, and causes cell death. It is an N-glycosidase which inactivates eucaryotic ribosomes by cleaving the N-glycoside link of the residue at A4324 of 28S-rRNA. It does not directly affect protein synthesis under the same conditions. Because of its ribosome-inactivating properties, studies of its biological activity have mainly focused on its potential as an immunotoxin in cancer therapy. It has been shown to be more toxic to tumour cells than to normal cells, and to provide therapeutic protection against Ehrlich ascites tumour and fibrosarcoma in mice and Yoshida sarcoma in rats, and to have an inhibitory effect in mice with solid human tumours. The larger B chain of the abrins is a galactose-specific lectin that binds to galactose-containing receptors on the cell plasma membrane. Abrus agglutinin is a tetramer with Mr 134 900. It can be separated on DEAE-Sephacel into 2 fractions (APA-I, -II) that have several isomorphs. It is non-toxic to animal cells, but it is a potent haemagglutinator. When tested on mouse spleen cells, abrin was demonstrated to be a potent lymphocyte mitogen. Fresh preparations from the seeds of Abrus precatorius are extraordinarily toxic, but are not mitogenic. However, after being stored for several months at 4°C it seems that such preparations are relatively non-toxic and are effective mitogens. The lectins from the seeds have blastogenic properties on human blood lymphocytes in vitro.
Abrin is one of the two most toxic substances of plant origin known (the other being ricin from the seeds of Ricinus communis L.). The LD50 value of abrin in mice is as low as 20 µg/kg (intra peritoneal) for the purified substance, and goats fed with a daily amount of 1 g/kg body weight of the seeds die within a few days. The symptoms are loss of appetite, bloody diarrhoea, dyspnoea, dehydration, loss of condition and recumbency caused by fatty change and necrosis of hepatocytes and renal convoluted tubules, pulmonary haemorrhage, oedema and emphysema, and erosions of the abomasal and intestinal epithelium. Intoxication of dogs resulted in death after 15-40 hours. When non-lethal doses of abrin were given to mice and dogs, the symptoms were reversible. The animals recovered, apparently completely, in 1-3 weeks. In addition to its toxic effect, the aqueous seed extract also has antigenic, abortive and teratogenic properties. Human poisoning is characterized by a latent period of several hours to days, followed by severe gastro-enteritis with erosion, necrosis of the liver, kidneys, spleen and lymphatic tract. After ingestion of seeds, for instance by children, immediate emesis is essential; less than one seed can be fatal when it is thoroughly masticated and the tough seed-coat has been damaged. Seeds swallowed whole with intact testa remain innocuous. The toxins are heat-stable to incubation at 60°C for 30 minutes; at 80°C, however, most of the toxicity is lost within 30 minutes.
Abrus seeds are also a rich source of alkaloids, among which abrin (N-methyl-L-tryptophan), hypaphorine, N,N-dimethyl tryptophan methylester, precatorine, choline and trigonelline. The insecticidal properties of seed extracts are attributed to the alkaloids (rotenoids), with hypaphorine being the most effective. The alkaloids reduce the fecundity of female mites and also deter feeding. The seeds contain an indole fraction that inhibits the growth of several plant species, e.g. of germinating lettuce. The active component of this fraction differs from the indole alkaloids abrine and hypaphorine, and has been determined as N,N-dimethyl tryptophan.
A methanol extract of the seeds furthermore showed a concentration-related inhibitory effect on the motility of human spermatozoa, and reduced sperm viability; this offers prospects for application as a human contraceptive. Seed extracts also fully inhibit germination of spores of the fungi Botrytis cinerea and Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. An almost 100% inhibition of tobacco mosaic virus was found on Capsicum pepper plants in vitro.
The roots and leaves of Abrus precatorius are known to contain constituents that have anti-inflammatory, anti-tumour, antitoxic, antitussive, anti-thrombotic and antibiotic properties. Phytochemical investigations of the herb and roots have revealed the presence of a series of isoflavanquinones: abruquinones A, B and C from the herb, and abruquinones A, B, D, E and F from the roots. Abruquinones A, B and D were found to exhibit remarkable inhibitory effects on platelet aggregation. The IC50 of abruquinones A and B for the inhibition of the platelet aggregation induced by arachidonic acid and collagen were less than 5µg/ml, whereas that of abruquinone D was less then 10µg/ml for the aggregation induced by arachidonic acid. Abruquinones A, B, D and F also showed strong anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic effects: superoxide formation was inhibited at a dose of less than 0.3 µg/ml, and the release of both 'BETA'-glucuronidase and lysozyme from rat neutrophils and of both 'BETA'-glucuronidase and histamine from mast cells were inhibited at a dose of less than 1 µg/ml. All these effects were measured in vitro.
The roots are also known to have antioestrogenic activity. Tests with laboratory animals (hamsters) infected with Schistosoma haematobium seemed to confirm the activity against urinary schistosomiasis. After oral application of a root extract of Abrus precatorius both the egg count and worm load were significantly reduced when compared to the controls.
The powdered drug from the leaves of Abrus fruticulosus used in Thailand is pale green and has a sweet taste. The sweet constituents of the leaves (of Abrus precatorius and Abrus fruticulosus) have been characterized as the cycloartane glycosides abrusosides A, B, C and D. Their aglucone, obtained by acid hydrolysis has been identified as abrusogenin. Abrusosides exhibit sweetness potencies in the range of 3-100 times greater than sugar (2% sucrose solution). In preliminary safety tests they were found to be non-toxic for rodents and were non-mutagenic. The yield of abrusosides A-D from Abrus fruticulosus leaves (0.33%) is slightly lower than from Abrus precatorius leaves (0.39%), but the concentration of abrusoside B, the sweetest compound, is higher in Abrus fruticulosus (0.08% versus 0.03% in Abrus precatorius).
The ethanol extract of the leaves has been found to inhibit acetylcholine-induced contractions of preparations of toad rectus abdominis and rat phrenic nerve-diaphragm muscle. The effects were concentration-dependent and reversible. Furthermore there were no effects on direct electrical stimulation of the rat diaphragm. Thus the ethanol extract is similar to d-tubocurarine with respect to its pattern of neuromuscular blockade. Leaves and roots have been reported to contain some abrin.
As already mentioned, the toxicity of abrin is parallelled by ricin from Ricinus communis, which has similar properties. Other vegetable proteins with pharmacological potential that are broadly comparable with abrin are found in the Cucurbitaceae genera Luffa, Momordica and Trichosanthes. They also have abortifacient and antitumour properties.
The roots of true liquorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra L.) contain the sweetener glycyrrhizine, which is used worldwide on a much larger scale than the sweetening substances in Abrus leaves or roots. It has similar medicinal properties to the abrusosides (e.g. anti-inflammatory and antitussive properties) and is used to cure coughs, bronchitis and gastralgia.
Woody subshrubs or lianas up to 6(-9) m long, stems often reaching 1.5 cm in diameter, often slender-branched. Leaves alternate, paripinnate with opposite leaflets, the rachis projecting beyond the last pair of leaflets; stipules small, usually persistent. Inflorescence axillary or terminal, pseudoracemose with the flowers in clusters on short reduced wart-like branchlets often arranged unilaterally on the rachis. Flowers sessile or subsessile, bisexual, 5-merous; calyx tube almost toothless or with 5 short teeth, the upper pair partly joined; corolla papilionaceous, much longer than the calyx, white, yellow, pink to dark purple, standard ovate-orbicular with a short claw and notched at the apex, wings oblong-falcate with long claws, keel longer than wings; stamens 9, filaments joined into a tube but free in upper part, staminal tube at the base adnate to the standard; ovary superior, subsessile, pubescent, 1-loculate, with numerous ovules, style curved, usually persistent, stigma capitate. Fruit an oblong to linear pod, flattened or inflated, beaked, pubescent, dehiscent, (1-)3-12-seeded, more or less septate between the seeds. Seeds subglobose, ovoid to ellipsoid, sometimes compressed, usually shiny. Seedling with epigeal germination; hypocotyl elongated.
The swollen wart-like branchlets of the inflorescence of Abrus precatorius are visited by ants.
Abrus is usually considered to have an isolated position within the subfamily Papilionoideae and placed in a separate tribe Abreae. It is characterized by the combination of woody stems with a tendency to twine, paripinnate leaves, pseudoracemes and 9 stamens. Some taxonomists adhere to a wide species concept, resulting in the acceptance of only 4 species worldwide. Others prefer a more narrow species concept and accept up to 20 species. Abrus fruticulosus is an extremely polymorphic and widely distributed species, which is sometimes considered as a complex of several separate species.
Abrus occurs rather frequently in grasslands, cropped land (also as a weed), thickets, edges of rain forest and gallery forest, up to 1500 m altitude.
The seed weight of Abrus precatorius averages 150-410 mg. When untreated, the germination rate is about 40% in 18 days. After seeds have been soaked in concentrated H2SO4 for 3 hours at 30°C the germination is about 85% in 10 days. Mechanical scarification results in a germination rate of 97%. Seed can be sown directly in the field or in a nursery. When sown directly in the field, 40 kg/ha is needed to obtain 40 000-50 000 plants. 2-3 seeds are planted per hole. Plants from seed sown in a nursery are planted into the field at 25 cm x 60 cm when 3-4 months old. Young plants should preferably be shaded by trees. In Indonesia, Gliricidia sepium (Jacq.) Kunth ex Walp. and Leucaena leucocephala (Lamk) de Wit are commonly used as shade trees. Propagation by cuttings is easy. Abrus precatorius can be raised in sole cropping or as a cover crop e.g. in rubber plantations in Peninsular Malaysia.
Ribosome-inactivating proteins and agglutinins have been isolated from callus and cell suspension cultures established from seed explants of Abrus precatorius. Biosynthesis of these lectins is positively correlated with the growth of the cultures. The lectins can be purified from the culture, and their electrophoretic mobility and biological activity are comparable with those of the lectins purified from the seeds. The cultures can be maintained on revised Murashige and Skoog medium. The rotenoid content of leaves, stems and seeds is, however, greater than in tissue cultures. Small amounts of tephrosin and deguelin can be found in the tissue culture.
Farmyard manure can be given early at 10-15 t/ha. Plants 2-3 months old can be fertilized with 150 kg urea + 150 kg triplesuperphosphate + 50-100 kg KCl per ha. Experiments with planting Abrus precatorius without support gave a higher yield of leaves (14.5%) and facilitated harvesting.
The most serious disease of Abrus precatorius in Indonesia is Rhizoctonia solani, a fungus that causes stem rot. Witches broom disease caused by a mycoplasma-like organism has been reported on Abrus precatorius in Taiwan.
The first harvest can be obtained when Abrus precatorius plants are 6-8 months old. Plants are cut 25-30 cm above the ground; 4-6 harvests per year can be expected.
When harvested 4-6 times per year, a total of 4.7 t/ha of fresh leaves and twigs per year is obtained, which is equivalent to 0.6-1 t of dry leaves. Roots are harvested when plants are 30-36 months old, yielding 2.5-3.5 t of fresh roots per ha.
Both Malesian Abrus species have large areas of distribution and often inhabit anthropogenic localities. They do not seem to be at risk of genetic erosion. In India, the populations of Abrus precatorius have been gradually depleted because of the extensive use in local medicine. No germplasm collections are known to exist, except in botanical gardens. In Indonesia, living plant material is available at the Research Institute for Spices and Medicinal Plants, Bogor and the Research Institute for Medicinal Plants at Tawangmangu.
Extensive research has been carried out on Abrus precatorius to elucidate the chemical composition, structure and properties of the seed constituents and to a lesser extent of those in the leaves and roots. It appears that certain constituents exhibit anti-cancer and anti-leukaemia effects. Moreover, they may influence fertility as well, whereas the toxic properties may be applicable as effective insecticide. In short, Abrus shows promise.

In the past couple of years, Himachal has become a popular weekend getaway for most people living in the north side. So, you will find the Himachal cities crowded during the weekends which has, frankly, reduced the charm of this place.
Every week, there are so many people visiting Shimla, Kasol, etc. that now it feels more like a normal town than an exotic hill station. But there are a few places where you can still enjoy the nature without worrying about crowds or commercialism. And one such place is Tirthan Valley.
The best part about Tirthan Valley is that they promote eco-tourism. In fact, all the locals here are quite aware or the tourism opportunity but opt for a better approach in order to save their valley being turned into another Kasol or Shimla.
So, if you are someone who would like a pristine and untouched place to visit and is a responsible traveler then you can head to Tirthan Valley. And one of the best places here for a completely amazing experience is the Sunshine Himalayan Cottage.
Sunshine Himalayan Cottage is a homestay located in Gushaini village, just beside the Tirthan River and is the best way to experience Himachali culture.
So, you can relax by dipping your legs in the river pools and admire the surrounding mountains. And if you are adventurous then you can go off on a short hike to a nearby waterfall or village and learn more about this beautiful valley.
Started by the Sood brothers, Ankit and Pankaj, Sunshine Himalayan Cottage is a beautiful concept where you get to experience the Himachali culture in its full glory. Also, since they practice eco-tourism here, you can see its effects on the construction of this homestay and the living here as well.
This homestay consists of 5 rooms and 1 tree house, each with an amazing view and ambiance. All the rooms here are spacious and beautifully lit so you would love to relax here and the soothing river sound will lull you to sleep in just a couple of minutes.
Built using traditional Mud Architecture, Sood brothers ensured that the homestay was built using bamboo, stone, and mud. And they recycled a lot of unused wood and stones as well which is why this is such an eco-friendly cottage.
That's not all though, they also do rainwater harvesting, organic farming, etc. and teach other locals to follow the same process as well. In fact, one of their rooms also has an actual tree integrated in the architecture as they didn't want to be reckless towards the environment. So, truly, this is one of the most eco-friendly homestays that I have ever stayed in.
And they always make sure that their guests also follow eco-tourism and don't throw plastics while sightseeing or trekking. In all, if you are looking for a place to stay to relax while being surrounded by nature then Sunshine Himalayan Cottage is the best place to visit. You can also learn their eco-friendly ways and implement them in your home to be more environment friendly.
Each of their rooms comes with a balcony, river view, 1 king-sized bed, sofa bed, and a lot of basic ammenities and services. The rooms have a hardwood floor which makes it warm and comfortable to walk on and the rooms are nicely lit and cozy.
The price for all their rooms is fixed at 6,500 INR for a room which can sleep 2 people.
If you want free breakfast with your room then you have to pay 7,000 INR per room.
One of the best things about this homestay is that they serve you authentic Himachali cuisine which are delicious and completely amazing.
They get the vegetables from their organic farms and catch their own fishes from the river to prepare fresh and delectable meal every time. So, here you will get a chance to taste a few Himachali delicacies like Siddus, Meetha Chawal, Khatta Sabzi, etc.
And each of this dish is prepared with so much care and precision that you would fall in love with their food. Also, the Rhododendron sharbat is another highlight as they prepare it from the local rhododendron flowers that are found here.
In the evening, you can also ask for some snacks and they will serve you with a delicious cup of tea along with some hot popcorns.
Frankly, there is no single best time to visit this place as you get to experience something new in every season. However, it would be good to avoid the monsoon season as there are chances of landslides and the river flow increases.
But apart from that, you can come here during winter, summer, and spring season to enjoy the mountain views. In the winter months, it will get really cold here so pack properly and if you are lucky then you might be able to experience snow around here as well.
It is quite easy to reach this place if you know the route well. And there are a couple of modes that you can try to reach this homestay.
By Air: The nearest airport to Tirthan Valley is the Kullu Manali Airport. So, you can get a flight here and then take a cab to this place as it is just 60 km from the airport.
By Bus: You will get several buses till Aut from Chandigarh, Delhi, etc. which will cost anywhere between 450 - 1500 INR. After getting down at the Aut tunnel, you can take a taxi to the homestay which will cost about 400-500 per person.
Another option would be to go to the Aut bus stand and then take a bus to Banjar and get down at Gushaini on the way. Then you can take a taxi to the homestay or walk till it. Ideally, it will take you 2 hours to reach from Aut to Gushaini in a bus.
By Car: If you have your own car then it is the best because it will be easier and more convenient for you to reach the homestay. You will first need to reach Aut tunnel and then take the right from here.
After that you will reach the Larji T-point, take a right from here. You will reach Sai Ropa from where you need to take a U-turn towards Gushaini village. It should take you about 1 hour to reach from Aut to Gushaini in the car.
There are a couple of villages near the homestay which are built using traditional Himachali architecture. So, you can take a walk to these villages and learn more about how the local Himachali people live here.
A famous UNESCO Heritage Site, Great Himalayan National Park is known for its diverse flora and fauna. So, you can either plan for a multi-day trek to this park with an experienced guide.
Or you can simply go for a short hike till the gate of GHNP and observe the gorgeous scenery on the way. You will also get a couple of waterfalls on the way which will make this trek really exciting and refreshing for you.
Another popular waterfall in Tirthan Valley which you cannot miss out on is the Chhoii Waterfall. This waterfall is located near the homestay and is just a 1-hour hike to the waterfall. Since this waterfall is slightly hidden from the view, not many people know about it and it is often secluded.
So, you can plan a picnic here and spend a couple of hours getting drenched in the cold yet clear water here.
Another exciting thing to do in Tirthan Valley would be to camp beside the Tirthan River. There are a few campsites near the homestay so if you ask the owner, they will arrange it for you, at an additional cost.
So, you can enjoy a bonfire and some late night talks near the river and enjoy a riverside camping experience.

The D100 Family
M-SPACE Nominated for Best RPG 2016 in Sweden
m-space
By clarence
March 25, 2017 in Mythras
Fenix, the big RPG magazine here in Scandinavia, runs a poll every year to celebrate the best Swedish RPG products. For 2016, M-SPACE is nominated in several classes, for example Best Cover, Best Illustrator (Jadrien Cousens) and Best Rules! The winners are announced at GothCon, the largest convention here, on April 9.
The poll is in Swedish, but if you want to vote anyway, here's the link:

I can make a quick translation if you need. Just let me know.
The Swedish RPG business is experiencing something of a golden age at the moment. Several games has become international bestsellers (Mutant: Year zero, Tales from the Loop and Trudvang, just to mention a few), and there are a handful of small companies doing very fine products. But there's also a rich undergrowth of indie writers making excellent games, and the poll has a very impressive line-up.

Wow congratulations for the nomination!
BTW, I would certainly be interested in knowing a bit more about the RPG scene in Sweden, as well as getting to know (briefly) what are all those other roleplaying games about.
I know about Mutant: Year Zero and Tales from the Loop (and, of course M-Space), but what about the others?
Read my Runeblog about RuneQuest and Glorantha at: http://elruneblog.blogspot.com.es/
I don't know very much about them, but here are a few more details:
This is a sci-fi game from the makers of Mutant: Year Zero, with rules being very similar. The main idea is something like One Thousand and One Nights in space. This is version 2, available in both English and Swedish. Quite good, I believe.
This is a reprint of the BRP classic from 1984 and the game that dominated the Swedish RPG scene for decades. Essentially it's the fantasy part of Chaosium's Worlds of Wonder with a few additions here and there. Unfortunately not available in English. The closest you can get is Trudvang Chronicles, the latest version of Drakar ooh Demoner with a hugely successful crowdfunding campaign last autumn. The artwork is amazing. Gritty Nordic feel to it.
The fourth version of a very popular western RPG, from the makers of Fenix RPG magazine. An English translation is planned for later this year. For a thorough presentation, see this thread at RPG.net: https://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?799029-Western-the-RPG
Hjältarnas Tid
A distant relative to BRP, targeted at new/young players. Written by one of Sweden's most well-known RPG writers, Krister Sundelin. The game is quite similar to his Järn RPG that he released a couple of years ago; I did an interview with Krister here at BRP Central some time ago about Järn.
Fantasy!
A slim game with a dice pool mechanic that's quite popular here. One of the first games here in Sweden to pick up the old school gaming concept, I believe. It's also the only contemporary RPG to be released in a pocket book version (reminding me of my old Dragon Warriors books…). English translation in the works.
Oktoberlandet
My favourite at the moment. A FATE-based steampunk game taking place in Russia. No translation available, but I think it really deserves a bigger audience. Character sheets look a lot like the cover artwork - I love it, but some claim they get severe headaches from it.
Symbaroum
Beautiful and conceptually rich fantasy RPG that I know very little about, but it's one of the big games here. Very successful. The makers are former BRP post-apocalypse writers. Available in English.
Polaris and Rotsystem
I wish I knew more about these two. Very ambitious indie games. Both are on my reading list.

And the winners are ... ?
Yeah - for those of us that are Swedish language challenged... Did M-Space win? I hope so!
Unfortunately M-SPACE didn't win any of the categories. None of the small publishers stood much of a chance against the international bestsellers.
Thanks for all your support! Let's aim for a better success next year : )


Chores can cause a lot of conflict in a relationship, especially if one person feels they're doing more than their share.
Many couples are addressing this problem with a simple tool: a digital spreadsheet.
A spreadsheet (or a task-management app) can make it easier to divide chores so that it's convenient for both partners.
The goal isn't to achieve a 50/50 split, but for both partners to be happy.
In a recent interview with The Cut, Japanese lifestyle guru Marie Kondo dished on how she and her husband divide household labour.
Kondo is the author of multiple bestselling books on organisation – in the 2014 "The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up," she invites readers to get rid of all their possessions except those that "spark joy" in their bodies.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Kondo applies similar rigour to organisation in her marriage. She told The Cut that when she and her husband got married (they now have two daughters), they discussed "the kind of home life we wanted and what it would take to achieve that." Then they put all that on a shared Google spreadsheet.
To be sure, Kondo's general approach to organisation veers toward the extreme. But using a shared document to keep track of who's responsible for what around the house is relatively common among modern couples.
In her 2017 book "Drop the Ball," Tiffany Dufu mentions MEL, i.e. the Management Excel List she shares with her husband. The list helped them negotiate (and renegotiate) who was best equipped to do which tasks. For example, if one of them knew they'd be travelling or bogged down at work, the other would take care of school drop-offs.
Today's couples are hardly the first faced with figuring out how to divvy up chores and parenting tasks. But digital technology has arguably made the process easier.
A 2017 article in The Guardian highlights how couples are using task-management apps (like Trello, Wunderlist, or Evernote) to streamline their joint lives. The article notes that these apps make it easier to share the "mental load," and not just the tasks themselves.
In other words, since both partners have a to-do list with a recurring item called "pick up milk," it's no longer one person's responsibility to remember every single week to buy more milk.
All that said, the way you approach your spreadsheet or task-management app matters a lot. The goal shouldn't be for each person to do exactly 50% of the tasks on the list. Instead, it's about each person feeling happy with what they're currently doing – even if the split winds up looking more like 70/30.
Lori Gottlieb, a popular couples therapist, is quoted saying as much in Jo Piazza's 2017 book "How to Be Married." According to Gottlieb, too many couples insist on treating marital teamwork like work teamwork.
Kondo, for example, said her husband is a good cook, so he's in charge of the cooking while she's in charge of the cleaning. "My husband will do breakfast and I'll put the dishes in the dishwasher, put things away, set and clear the table," she said.
Still, the best part about using a spreadsheet to divide household tasks isn't necessarily the accountability piece. A Harvard PhD student in sociology told The Guardian that keeping shared lists online allows couples to save in-person time for talking about the really meaningful stuff – not logistics.
That is to say, it gives you a chance to remember why you love each other – which, I'm guessing, isn't how well you scrub the kitchen floor.


If you read the previous post about the Boyce College and Kentucky Christian University game, you know Bulldog #10 Jorge Saucedo went down early in the game. We were not at a good angle but were able to capture these photographs as Jorge's ankle met the ball and the gloves of the KCU Goalkeeper in mid-air.
I spoke with Jorge after the game. He said, "I heard it pop in like three different places. I don't think it's broke, but I don't know what I did for sure." Upon asking Jorge if he would be okay for Mondays game, he said, "I don't know. I knew once it happened that I wasn't going to be going back in today."

S&P 500: Where next?
S&P 500 analysis. Check out what Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon says about the index. Find out how higher interest rates affect indices.
Since the World Health Organization (WHO) declared a global pandemic on March 11th 2020 the S&P 500 index grew by over 70%. At face value this exponential rise created a mismatch between economic growth and market sentiment. This is further evidenced by the U.S CPI data which came in at 7.5%, largest increase since 1982. Fear of collapse is affecting investment decisions and further upside potential is actively scrutinized by investment professionals.
S&P 500 Daily Chart
What does Goldman Sachs say about the S&P 500?
In a recent podcast, Goldman Sachs Chairman and CEO David Solomon discussed the market valuation at large. Whilst he confirms overvaluation on the basis of earnings data and implementation of policies aimed at targeting inflation pointing to further downside, he also suggested that growth stocks have experienced reasonable correction. Since then, we are continuing to see further decline in the S&P 500 index, and the answer could lay nowhere other than in the geopolitical tensions between US and Russia over Ukraine invasion. Safe haven assets are gaining more traction as investors await Putin's actions, with the price of gold spiking by over 5% across February.
Is the potential invasion of Ukraine really the reason behind the recent moves of the S&P 500?
Analysts mostly agree that the effects of geopolitical tensions on the market are relatively short-lived. Paul Shatz, the president of Heritage Capital, claims that the decline we are seeing is hardly a result of Ukraine-Russia tension and is purely led by Fed promise of interest rate hikes and central bank's balance sheet reduction. Accordingly, we may begin seeing recoveries in the S&P 500 towards the end of 2022/ early 2023, with the market establishing a consolidating structure prior to another bull run. Furthermore, the mini V shape spikes historically suggest that we are not yet approaching a bottom of the market's decline.
How do interest rate hikes affect indices?
Speculations, over how many rate hikes we are yet to see, appear futile. If the market begins to show signs of aggressive downward momentum it might prove difficult for the Fed to hike further. Sharp increases could also inhibit economic growth in general. In fact, Clissold and Thanh Nguyen, NDR's senior quantitative analyst, found that historically the speed of rate hikes determines what happens to the market, with S&P 500 showing an average of 10.5% growth following a slow-tightening cycle versus a fall of 2.7% following a fast-tightening cycle. NDR expectation of 4 or more rate hikes over 2022 and speculation of kick-starting with a 50 basis points hike suggest we are approaching a fast-tightening cycle.
So what to do when fear of a market crash is looming around the corner? Investing in commodities could be the answer as they are structurally different from traditional assets. More on this in the next article.

As companies aim to appeal to Generation Z and sculpt unique products, authentic brand stories, and desirable work places, they are realizing the task is often easier said than done. Pepsi fumbled a multi-million-dollar ad campaign with Kendall Jenner, Under Armour's stock cut in half over the last 2 years, and GoPro has hit growing pains with selling cameras to a generation of smart phone addicts.
What makes Gen Z so difficult is that they grew up on social media and have processed millions of posts, tweets, images, and videos; so, they understand when campaigns and products are trying too hard. In this situation, companies seek an outside perspective and one of the top sources for this help, is George Beall.
Beall has helped a variety of Fortune 500 companies with pivots on their brand images and Gen Z oriented campaigns. He is known for saying, "everything is downstream from culture" and so approaches his campaigns with an aim of helping brands inspire relevance and a "cool factor." Citing the luxury streetwear brand, Supreme, as a perfect example of a powerful brand, he notes that brands need to identify a common lifestyle for their product and then keep demand higher than supply.
In order to best keep track of the prevailing trends and where they are headed, as well as get the best awareness for what companies are up to, Beall starts everyday with breakfast, coffee, and at least an hour scrolling over his various social media feeds. He tracks fashion, art, influencers, technology, entrepreneurship, and a variety of other sectors so as to keep a solid awareness of the many facets of Generation Z.
Throughout this data collection process, Beall pays particular attention not just to what he sees and reads, but what he feels. "Most brand failures check all of the boxes for what needs to be done, but just are not doing it correctly," Beall comments. He described the Pepsi campaign as perfectly aware that they needed to use influencers, such as Kendall Jenner, and draw upon the social good aspect of Gen Z, but did so in a manner that felt contrived.
Whenever he sees terrifically good or horrendously bad campaigns and products he breaks down what he is seeing, what thoughts and emotions it is inspiring in him, and how they could be done better in future. Doing this consistently allows for Beall to have an in-depth awareness of execution and how culture affects success.
While a full-time student at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, Beall manages to attend his classes, take care of his clients and side projects, keep up with trends, and still have a social life. In addition to being a student and consultant, Beall is an active angel investor and manages his own stock portfolio.
"We are seeing a generation that was struck hard by the Great Recession and in turn knows how to hustle," Beall describes the shift in work patterns. He states that young kids were told from an early age they needed to work and save up for "extras," and have transitioned that into their views of work.
Each generation is dubbed either: Artist, Hero, Prophet, or Nomad. Notably, Millennials are "Heroes," known for growing up energetic and transitioning this into over-confidence. Gen Z on the other hand is an "Artist" generation, where a prominent crisis throws complexity onto their early lives that they transition into pluralism and awareness.
Embodying this "artistic" disposition, Beall dedicates his free time towards following fashion and music releases, as well as enjoying contemporary art and movies. His aesthetic is an intriguing blend of iconographic streetwear and posh country club attire to unify his various interests and backgrounds into a style distinct to him.
With the prominence of social media, Beall notes how young people are increasingly aware of what everyone is wearing and buying. Before, you had to show up on the same day of school for people to know you owned the same shirt as someone, but now closets can be compared with a simple scroll on Instagram. Gen Z, more than any other cohort, wants to better capture their self-expression through some form of artistry.
Though Beall took time off from school to pursue an entrepreneurial venture, he is a strong proponent of education and specifically higher education. Beyond this he continually tries to expand his skill-sets by reading up on real estate, art, manufacturing, and anything else he stumbles upon. With even a brief conversation on any subject matter he will likely have insightful commentary to add from his wide-range of education in and out of the classroom.
"Millennials often get a bad rap for being over-energetic and under-qualified, but Gen Z loves to learn." Beall states one of the best ways for companies to attract better Gen Z recruits and overall young engagement, is to help further one of their passions. He suggests that if a company's target demographic is interested in fashion, they ought to sponsor an educational series on design, manufacturing, and retailing of garments.
Furthermore, it is clear from Beall and his anecdotes of his Gen Z friends, that whereas companies traditionally targeted applicants for traditional corporate skill sets, Gen Z has much more to offer. Previously, companies were hiring the best people with Excel or the best number crunchers, but now they have access job applicants with a variety of niche experiences and knowledge. Young people would be wise to further hone these skills and employers would be wise to target this knowledge in recruitment.
Gen Z approaches life in a manner different than any generation before it. With a mixture of struggle during the complex years of the Great Recession and the digital opportunities of social media, today's young people bring a pair of fresh eyes filled with passion. Older generations are already taking swings to simplify Generation Z, but for Gen Z, the value is in the nuanced details.
Whether you work in the soda, fashion, automotive, or home goods industry, it is hard to deny Gen Z's massive exposure to culture and its effect on their consumer habits. As companies continue to struggle to build brand engagement with Gen Z, chances are as you scroll through your newsfeed more of the campaigns you see will be crafted by young consultants, like George Beall.


This book identifies the core competencies shared by expert therapists and helps clinicians - especially those providing brief dynamic/interpersonal therapy - to develop and apply them in their own work. Rather than being a cookbook of particular techniques, the book richly describes therapists' mental processes and moment-to-moment actions as they engage in effective therapeutic inquiry and improvise to help patients achieve their goals. The author integrates the psychotherapy and cognitive science literatures to provide a unique understanding of therapist expertise. Featuring many illustrative examples, the book offers fresh insights into how learning and interpersonal skills can be enhanced for both therapist and client.


Going for a dental check up is never the thing we are always looking up to. An appointment with a dental pro will not quite be at the top of our list of priorities for an honor. We may only wonder why all the fear with the dentists among most of us. The most probable reason for this is the nature of our upbringing where the dentists were a fear factor in our childhood circles.
In as much as it is a good practice to have a regular service from a dentist of our good knowledge and whom we have trusted for some time, it is also wise to check and confirm that our dentists is indeed offering us the best of quality services. If you happen to notice that your dentist is somewhat compromising on quality then why take any more time and resources in deals with them, seize the earliest opportunity and find a better practitioner.
However the question most of us may be asking is how we can find a good dentist. Normally, people will first run to the yellow pages and the local dental societies. Granted, these sources are as good as they can get to be but are surely not the best alternatives simply for the reasons that they will not get you a qualified opinion on the services, basing them on a thorough evaluation of the services that they offer and as such not being quite qualitative though they may be so quantitative anyway. For this reason, we give some of these hints to help you out with the search of the right dentists to take care of your dental health within your very locale.
The best service from a dentist can be found from the dental schools which may be around your locale. You will as such stay quite safe in your search for the dentists within a dental school around your neighborhood for these will quite get you the most of quality dental treatments out of their expertise and skills. This should not cause you much grey hairs for the only thing you will need to do is to call in school and enquire about the names of the members of the practicing class to have an appointment with them.
The other tip is to check into hospitals and health care centers within your locality as well with the dental units. The dentists at these facilities will be able to surely get you the very best of advice on what you can do and even give you recommendations for the services you want with your dental problems.

Are gym memberships worth it?
As the weather warms up, many of us start thinking about getting fit for summer.
Gyms are the most obvious ways to get into shape, but they can be expensive.
So, it's best to find one with a deal that suits your lifestyle and budget.
"With a gym, you have to be committed and regular to get results," fitness expert Lizzy Williamson told Today.
There are budget deals which can be as cheap as $15 per week, Williamson says.
"You've got those including Curves that are $15 a week, Anytime Fitness which is $17 a week and Fitness First, which is about $26 per week," Williamson says.
"So, it might not cost too much money, but you want to know whether you're going to stick to it, otherwise it ends up being a waste of money."
The above deals do involve being locked in to a 12-month contract, Williamson warns.
"F45 might be $66 [per week] but it's a clear winner when it comes to fees. It offers something that's becoming quite popular, which is your non-committal membership.
"There are no contracts, no cancellation fees, no joining fees, or hidden fees. There's also those like Jetts or Plus Fitness, which are lower cost and have no contract."
But if you're someone who prefers the comfort of home and might want to visit a gym occasionally, many do offer single visit prices.
"With Anytime Fitness you can spend $10 to $20 on a class, F45 $25 to $35, and they're great options if you want a class or session every now and then."
For those gym junkies who want the best of what's on offer Virgin Active is for you, Williamson says.
"It's expensive at $35 a week but you do get bang for your buck. There are 200 to 300 exercise classes, group fitness classes a week at some of their places. They also pride themselves on this end to end customer experience.
"You go in the shower, there are two shower heads. They have GHD hair straighteners and Dyson hair drivers and boutique studios.
"F45 have trainers on the floor and have a nutrition portal – meal plans and shopping lists."
Williamson urges anyone considering joining a gym to check the company's cancellation policy.
"Gyms can be great for that accountability and motivation but you want to know what you are in for if you want to get out of it.
"They vary studio to studio. For example, Virgin active is around a $200 cancellation fee or your remaining membership.
"Most of these places do waiver these fees when it comes to sickness and relocation."
Her advice: read the fine print before signing anything.

Thorburn's diagrams
9 December 2014 gs
The bere line – rhymes with hairline
Thomas Thorburn used diagrams to get a point across: for example, diagrams in the form of squares to represent large numbers of things. If the reader was no good with figures, then they might get a better idea by comparing two squares of different size to see which was larger and which smaller, and by how much.
His "Diagrams, Agricultural Statistics of Scotland for 1854" was based on agricultural census data collated by the Highland Society and gives areas grown with various crops and output in total bushels of grain and in bushels of grain per acre, including those for barley and bere.

Bere (or bigg) and barley are clearly distinguished in the pages of Diagrams as different crops.
The agricultural census in Diagrams tells us much about bere and barley in the 1850s.
Bere was grown mostly in the north and west, but occurred in most agricultural census regions. Farmers throughout Scotland would have been familiar with it.
The area in Scotland sown with bere was just less than 10% or one-tenth that sown with barley.
Yields of barley and bere, when expressed in modern units were both 1.5-2.0 tonnes per hectare (t/ha), compared to present national average yields of 5-6 t/ha for spring barley.
In Scotland as a whole, bere yields were a bit less than those of barley (about 80% or 90% depending on how yield was calculated), but where they were both grown in the same area, as in some northern and north-eastern regions, their yields were similar.
Bere has now almost disappeared as a commercial crop, whereas barley is the most widely grown corn in Scotland, going mainly to malting and animal feed.
Where was bere grown in the 1850s?
The area grown with bere in 1854 was about 9% of the area of barley. So in the whole of Scotland, just over ten times more barley was grown than bere. And while most bere was grown in the north and north-east, in places such as Aberdeen, Orkney and Shetland and Caithness, it was grown in a small area in many other places, including areas such as Haddington which are considered to be high-yielding. (The names Aberdeen, Orkney and Shetland, Haddington, refer to census areas.)
Here are some figures. The area grown with bere in census regions was, at the top end, Aberdeen 5322 ac, Orkney and Shetland 2922 ac, Caithness 2710 ac, Argyll 1888 ac; and at the bottom end, Perth 502 ac, Haddington 40 ac and Roxburgh 6 ac. The abbreviation 'ac' refers to acre, which is about 40% of the hectare, the present metric unit (1 acre = 0.4047 hectare; a hectare can be visualised as a square of 100 m by 100 m).
For barley, the figures at the top end were Fife 27,938 ac, Forfar 25,222 ac, Perth 23, 710 ac, Berwick 16,576 ac; while figures in the north and west were Orkney and Shetland 149 ac, Caithness 265 ac and Bute 389 ac.
What did it yield
Thorburn gives yield in bushels per acre, bushels being a measure of dry volume, used for grain, and acre being a unit of area widely used until recently, and still used locally. He gives the total bushels produced in each census region (from which bushels per acre can be calculated by dividing bushels by the area of the region) and in a separate diagram, he gives bushels per acre for each region. The two estimates are not always the same, so here we use Thorburn's bushels per acre figures rather than our calculated figures.
Using standard conversion factors and our estimate of 1 bushel of bere = 21.8 kilograms (see Light on bushel), the national average yield of bere was 1.77 t/ha (tonnes per hectare) and of barley 1.93 t/h, so the yield of bere was just more than 90% (nine tenths) of the yield of barley.
The yields vary between regions, but where both barley and bere are grown together, especially in the north and west, the yields are not that different. In Caithness, for example, barley is 36.0 bushels per acre and bere 36.5 bushels per acre.
In Diagrams as it appears online, there is no description of the methods by which the census was conducted. It is presumed the Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland did the work and handed the information to Thorburn who constructed his diagrams.
The yields of crops would have been difficult to measure consistently in the field or on the farm. Harvested grain differs in water-content depending on the weather, the locality and the variety of the crop. And grain also will differ in how 'clean' it is , how free of the bits and pieces of plant material that may be harvested with it. Today, yields reported in the annual census are given to a stated water content; so if the actual content measured in the combine harvester or in the grain store differs from this stated content, then the mass has to be corrected to allow comparison of near-dry mass between fields, farms and regions. No indication is given in Thorburn of how the dryness and cleanliness of the grain were standardised across regions.
The way the bushel was measured also probably varied. Perhaps some farms used a standard bushel measure (e.g. a barrel or basket) whereas others might have used a container, such as a cart, that they knew held a given number of bushels.
And then the areas sown with the crops were stated very precisely, sometime to several hundred thousand acres and three quarters. But were all fields measured so precisely? What if crops were grown in strips or parts of fields – was the area grown with each strip or part measured? It is difficult today to measure accurately the area of all fields in Scotland sown with a particular crop – and that is with all the official demands to record what was grown where and when.
Despite these uncertainties, the census was a major achievement. It must have taxed the Highland Society's officials and local organisers. And they probably did have a very good appreciation of areas and outputs. But in some regions they appear to have come up against difficulties that were too great – for example, the yield of bere in Orkney and Shetland is omitted from Thorburn, despite much bere being grown there.

The second album from singer/songwriter Louisa Allen moves her into rarefied UK pop air. It's a supremely confident set full of fevered melodrama, delicious despair and, crucially for her chances of superstardom, euphoric choruses. All I Need also shows off a dynamic, versatile performer. Pared back on "If You Leave Me Now" and "Scar" she's ethereal, "Cruel" sees her skillfully navigate a spry R&B beat and the hymnal "Better Love" unleashes her full vocal force. But it's "Body Talk"—powered by dreamy '80s synths and tailor made for summer festivals—that really underlines Foxes' maturing appeal.

Aston Villa in 'first place' to make Euro 2020 star their sixth summer signing
Date:20th August 2021 at 5:30pm
Written by: Oscar Johnson
Few clubs have been busier than Aston Villa this summer, with high profile outgoings and numerous incomings at the club and almost a fortnight to go for yet more drama to unfold.
Club captain Jack Grealish departed his boyhood club to join Manchester City earlier this month, becoming the most expensive British player in history in doing so.
However, Villa appeared to have already moved to replace their talisman, with Emi Buendia, Leon Bailey and Danny Ings joining defensive pair Ashley Young and Axel Tuanzebe through the door at Villa Park.
Having spent almost £100 million on players this summer alone, many people thought that Villa's spending spree had finished.
However, it now appears that the Villans are in pole position to secure yet another impressive signing.
Damsgaard's spectacular free-kick gave Denmark the lead in their Euro 2020 semi-final against England.
According to Italian outlet Calciomercato, the club, along with fellow Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur, are in 'first place' to sign Danish midfielder Mikel Damsgaard.
The report suggests that the Sampdoria winger is being chased by a host of Europe's top clubs, including AC Milan and Juventus, but that the Premier League duo are first in the queue for the Dane's signature.
Damsgaard, 21, impressed at Euro 2020, most notably scoring against England in the semi-finals, and speculation surrounding his future has since increased.
The Italian outlet also suggests that the player's future will 'be decided in the last days of the transfer window'.
Damsgaard's emergence as a possible target may surprise some, with Villa already boasting Anwar El Ghazi, Bailey and Bertrand Traore as wingers, while Buendia and Ollie Watkins are also capable of playing out wide.

Q: How to grok bounded wildcards in Java? In the wikipedia article about co- and contravariance there is an example use case and then an explanatory sentence describing what the type declaration means. I find this extremely useful. After reading the explanation a few times, I feel that I understand what it says.
<T extends Comparable<? super T>> T max(Collection<T> coll);

The bounded wildcard ? super T conveys the information that max calls only contravariant methods from the Comparable interface.

Can somebody explain in a similar language, what the type declaration on the of the andThen() function in the java.util.function.Consumer @FunctionalInterface means:
public interface Consumer<T> {
    void accept(T t);
    default Consumer<T> andThen(Consumer<? super T> after) {

e.g.

The bounded wildcard ? super T conveys the information that andThen .... ?

And I have a secondary question: How can I find out myself, what such a type declaration means? E.g. in first example above from the java.util.Collections util class: How are the type bounds of a class - T - able to convey information about what the methods of T are doing? Can anybody point me to the relevant paragraphs in the Java language specification for this?

A: Possible answer to the first question:
public interface Consumer<T> {
    void accept(T t);
    default Consumer<T> andThen(Consumer<? super T> after) {

The bounded wildcard ? super T conveys the information that andThen takes Consumers of T or supertypes of T, aka. contravariant Consumers, as arguments.

Possible answer to the secondary question: https://stackoverflow.com/a/2501513
Basically - completely independent of generics (!) - method return return types are inherently "covariant" (assumed to be "producers") in the Java language. If overriding a method in a child class, you can always declare a more specific return type.
Method arguments are of course also "covariant" - you can only pass more specific objects than the method signature specifies. But on subclasses, although the method is technically not overriden for non-parametric arguments - adhering to the Liskov_substitution_principle - it often makes sense to declare "contravariant" argument types in child classes, which - if the name and other arguments are equal - "overloads" the methods in the parent class. "Static" (reference-type-governed) method dispatch will then ensure that the (less specific) child method is called wins. Method arguments are assumed to be "consumed" and then PECS applies. Anyhow, for generic parameters, bridge methods are generated and it is all a bit more hairy. But we will get there.

Gowran preview: get the inside track on the big races
The 2023 Goffs Thyestes Chase: enjoy every moment live on Racing TV!
Owner-trainer Barry Connell believes "all the boxes are ticked" for Espanito Bello ahead of his bid for glory in the Goffs Thyestes Chase at Gowran Park.
The nine-year-old has mixed it between fences and hurdles over the past couple of years, but it is over the larger obstacles where he has shown his best form – notably finishing second to Coko Beach in a Grade Two novice chase in 2021 before finishing down the field in the Irish Grand National.
Last time out he was fifth in a two-mile-six-furlong hurdle race, meaning Thursday's contest represents a return to fences as well as a step back up in trip to three miles and a furlong.
Espanito Bello is likely to be suited by the soft going at Gowran and with confidence seemingly high, he has attracted significant support ahead of Thursday's €100,000 feature.

"He's in good form. He had a very good novice season and was second in a Grade Two, but he's been lightly raced since so he's come down the handicap ratings," said Connell.
"He's in good form and we expect a big run from him on Thursday.
"Soft ground is what he wants, he needs heavy ground, even. He has a nice weight and I think all of the boxes are ticked there, so we're looking forward to a big run."
Owner-trainer-breeder Robert Murphy has a leading contender in Darrens Hope – a nine-year-old last seen landing the Grade Two Florida Pearl Novice Chase by a head from Minella Crooner.
With that victory registered in November, Murphy's mare has enjoyed a freshening-up period ahead of her Thyestes bid off a weight of 10st 6lb, with Danny Mullins retaining the ride.
Darrens Hope after winning the Florida Pearl
"She's good, we jumped her on Tuesday and she jumped grand. She's in good form, I can say that," said Murphy.
"She's had a good gap, we don't run her too often because she's getting on a small bit. We wouldn't want to run her too often and she needed her break, but she's grand now.
"She's back up to three miles and the soft ground should suit her as well.
"We've a good jockey on board, we'd like to see her get her nose in front and we're hopeful."
Gordon Elliott's nine-strong team includes two of the market principals in Pencilfulloflead and Escaria Ten – the latter a good quality stayer owned by the McNeill Family.
Escaria Ten during the Grand National
The nine-year-old finished eighth in last year's Thyestes Chase on what was his seasonal reappearance before missing out in the Bobbyjo Chase by just a nose, after which he came home ninth in the Grand National at Aintree.
He got the current campaign under way in a Listed Thurles Chase on December 1 and was far from disgraced in finishing a two-length second to Joseph O'Brien's Darasso.
The Welsh Grand National was vetoed in favour of another Thyestes tilt, despite the fact Escaria Ten will carry top weight of 11st 12lb in the hands of Adrian Heskin.
"He hopefully has a nice chance, he's had his prep race this year," said Iain Turner, racing manager to the owners.
"He ran well at Thurles and everything has gone fine, it's just going to be very difficult carrying top weight. It's not often you wish Willie (Mullins) had one in the race, but I really wish he had Franco De Port in there as it would have kept the weights down 6lb!
"He goes there with a good chance. It will be difficult carrying that weight but there's not much we can do about it.
"With him the softer the ground, the better. Last year we went for his first run of the season and he needed it, he's had his run this time and then it was a choice between the Welsh National and the Thyestes. We've made the decision and fingers crossed it all goes well.
"Max (McNeill, owner) is in the final few days of his winter holiday and is flying straight to Ireland from sunnier climes for his first ever trip to Gowran, let's hope it isn't an unwarranted extension to his holiday!"
Elliott Is also represented by Braeside, Coko Beach, Defi Bleu, Dunboyne, Fakiera, Frontal Assault and Punitive.
Willie Mullins could saddle up to five runners, with Captain Kangaroo, Carefully Selected and Egality Mans all guaranteed a run in the top 18, while Rambranlt'jac and Stones And Roses are on the reserve list.
Teahupoo out to test Stayers' credentials
Hatton's Grace hero Teahupoo tests the water over three miles for the first time in the John Mulhern Galmoy Hurdle.
Gordon Elliott's charge finished last behind Honeysuckle in the Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham and the Punchestown Champion Hurdle last season, but turned that form on its head when inflicting a first career defeat on Henry de Bromhead's superstar mare at Fairyhouse last month.
That victory came over the intermediate distance of two and a half miles and Elliott is keen to see how he fares over an even longer trip in a bid to discover whether the Stayers' Hurdle at Cheltenham in March is a realistic target.
When asked if he was looking forward to running Teahupoo over three miles, Elliott said: "I'm looking forward to every day!
"It is a step up in trip and it looks like it will suit him, so we will see what happens.
"We will get Thursday out of the way, but that (Stayers' Hurdle) is what we are thinking. We are dreaming rather than thinking!"
Teahupoo will be ridden by Davy Russell, who is out to secure his first Graded success since coming out of retirement to fill in for the injured Jack Kennedy.
"It was no surprise to us what this lad did in Fairyhouse last month as he was simply returning to the level we know he can perform at," Russell told his Star Sports blog.
Davy Russell rides Teahupoo at Gowran Park
"He was good here in Gowran last February and we know conditions are in his favour. He's always shaped like he's worth a crack at this sort of a trip so we will learn plenty about him.
"This is no easy task though as it's a good deal further than he's gone before and he's a fair penalty to shoulder too. That said, it does look the ideal opportunity for Teahupoo."
Martin Brassil is looking forward to saddling Longhouse Poet, who won the Thyestes Chase on this card 12 months ago before going on to finish sixth in the Grand National at Aintree.
While his better form is over the larger obstacles, the nine-year-old did make a successful switch to hurdling at Limerick over the Christmas period and Brassil is happy to roll the dice.
He said: "We're looking forward to his run and he'll love the ground and he'll love the trip. It looks like there's a horse a stone and a half better than him in there, but we're happy to run him anyway and see how he gets on.
"We were very pleased with his Limerick win and we are hopeful he can build on that. He took the Limerick race very well and we've been very happy with him since, so we will see how we go."
Beacon Edge is fitted with blinkers for the first time by Noel Meade, while De Bromhead is represented by the veteran Summerville Boy.
Early Doors (Joseph O'Brien) and My Design (Declan Queally) complete the Grade Two field.
Sir Gerhard set for chase debut
Willie Mullins is looking forward to seeing his dual Cheltenham Festival winner Sir Gerhard belatedly get his novice chase campaign under way on the Thyestes Chase undercard.
The Cheveley Park Stud-owned eight-year-old won the Champion Bumper at Prestbury Park in 2021 and returned to the Cotswolds to land the Ballymore Novices' Hurdle last season.
He suffered his first defeat in four hurdles outings at Punchestown in the spring, but was still expected to take high rank over the larger obstacles this season.
Having suffered a setback before Christmas, the point-to-point winner starts off over regulation fences later than planned in the Daly Farrell Chartered Accountants Beginners Chase, but will nevertheless be a short price to make a successful return.
"He schooled well this morning and I'm looking forward to him running," Mullins said at Fairyhouse on Wednesday.
"It'll be a big task for him in that ground coming so late in the season against more experienced horses.
"If his hurdle rating is anything to go by and if he jumps well, he's one to look forward to."
Sir Gerhard is set to face four rivals over two miles, with Henry de Bromhead's Largy Debut bringing decent placed form to the table, having finished third behind Mighty Potter, Minella Crooner and Gentlemansgame in his three chase starts to date.
Indiana Jones (Mouse Morris), Battle Of Mirbat (Michael McDonagh) and Natural Ability (Tony Martin) are the other contenders.
