Android Confidential: Why these 3 upcoming Android phones could put the iPhone XS to shame
Check out my new show, Android Confidential.

chebert@idgcommunications.comThe Huawei Mate 20, Google Pixel 3, and OnePlus 6T could all beat Apple at its own game.
Everyone's talking about how great the new iPhone XS and XS Max are but I'm not so sure they're going to feel the same way after a few weeks have gone by. The fall season is jam-packed with flagship Android releases, and several of them have the potential to beat Apple at its own game. I talked about three of the best Android phones coming later this year as part of my new show, Android Confidential:
Huawei Mate 20: The Huawei Mate 20 and newer P20 are already two of the best phones you can buy, but the Mate 20 could beat them both (along with the iPhone XS). Rumor has it that Huawei will be using a triple-Leica setup on the Mate 20, an impressive array that has already shown tremendous results on the P20, the current Last Cam Standing reigning champ. Add to that the Kirin 980 chip and a 6.9-inch screen, and you've got a maxed-out Android phone that can beat the iPhone XS Max.
Google Pixel 3: Google's Pixel 2 XL already has a camera that's on par with the best phones you can buy now, and it's a year old. While the Pixel 3 XL might not best the iPhone X in the looks department, it could beat it where it counts: the camera. Google does amazing things with just a single camera thanks to its top-notch image signal processor, and it's rumored that it will be adding a second lens to the front of the phone. That means selfies would be wider and crisper, and portrait selfies would be next-level. For Instagrammers and Snapchatters, that could be worth more than a shiny new gold color. OnePlus 6T: OnePlus isn't exactly a household name in the U.S., but that could be changing with the 6T. For one, it's rumored to be sold at T-Mobile this year, which would be the first time a OnePlus phone is available through a major carrier. For another, it's going to have a killer new feature: an in-display fingerprint sensor. That's not a rumor, it's been confirmed by CEO Carl Pei. So the OnePlus 6T won't just have premium specs and a low price tag, it'll have a feature you won't find on the Note 9, LG G7, Pixel… or the thousand-dollar iPhone XS.

Origin Report: Brazil 2019
I recently had the opportunity to visit Brazil with a few of our friends from Nordic Approach, along with several other roasters from around the world. The main reason for the visit was to judge the APAS Cup - a coffee quality competition that Nordic Approach runs with APAS - a coffee-growing cooperative in the Minas Gerais region. Nordic Approach has been working with them for several years - and they began the APAS Cup in 2018 as a way for producers and roasters to meet - and for roasters from around the world to discover the wide variety of specialty coffee available in Brazil.
I flew into Sao Paolo on a red-eye flight and caught a ride out to Varghina where we stayed. Parts of Brazil are much farther east than you might realize - I was about as far east as Greenland, so it took me a bit to catch up with my timezones, but thankfully there was plenty of coffee to cup. One of the benefits of travelling to origin is that the coffee usually helps you kick jetlag quickly!
We cupped several coffees at Cafebras - an exporter in Varginha - and kept getting notes of cheddar and parmesan. Thankfully - it wasn't the coffee, but the delicious snacks provided along with the cupping. Those familiar with Brazil will know about Pao de Queijo - but these tasty little cheese breads are essentially the perfect savory treat and I enjoyed quite a few.
The next few days in Brazil were spent visiting different farms in the area that are members of the APAS cooperative - there are roughly 70 total members with farms from 2.5-7 hectares in size so we got to see several. Brazil is sometimes left out of the conversation in specialty coffee - but that's mostly because the majority of Brazilian coffee getting to the states is commodity grade coffee grown on massive, flat industrial plantations. The farms we visited were more family-run, with beautiful landscaping and a much more friendly, local feel.
Smaller producers in Brazil are very excited about the specialty market, where they can sell more specialized crops for higher prices than the commodity market. All the farmers we met with were very proud of their specialty crops and the more distinct flavor profiles they present - it felt as though they had a chip on their shoulder to prove that Brazilian specialty coffee can be delicious, and as a result they're really swinging for the fences with quality and processing.
In part due to the robust commodity coffee market in Brazil, coffee farms are much more developed and mechanized, even when they're smaller. We saw much more equipment on these Brazilian farms than other regions - including an automatic picker! The machine is pulled along the rows of coffee plants, and the rotating tines knock the coffee cherry off the plants. A machine like this is less judicious than hand pickers when it comes to quality, so more sorting is required after the fact before processing begins - but it was neat to see one at a specialty farm nonetheless.
Speaking of equipment - most of the farms we visited were using the Bandeirante - Brazil's version of the Toyota Landcruiser truck. You can go to pretty much any coffee-producing region in the world, and you'll see some form of Landcruiser hard at work - at this point I think they're the official vehicle of coffee production. In places like Varghina where the soft, red dirt turns to extremely slick mud with even a little rain, these trucks can reliably transport people and equipment to ensure the work gets done. We actually slid off the road a few times ourselves in our rental, which really underscored the value of these machines to coffee producers.
We also met quite a few great animals on the farms in Brazil - including Tor the sheepdog, who helped guide us on our visit to Santa Lucia farm. One of the great things about family owned and operated farms is the sense of home that you get from them. It's evident in the pets sometimes hanging about the farm - but it also underscores how seriously these producers are about coffee. It's not just a 9-5 job that they do, it's their way of life. This is how most family farms are, regardless of industry throughout the world, but it was especially nice to see in Brazil when I was expecting more commercial-style operations.
There was a decent bit of rain while we were visiting different farms - but the patches of sun in between created some great moments to appreciate the scenery of Minas Gerais! Lots of rolling hills and very tidy rows of coffee plants stretched across the landscape.
After the farm visits, we settled in at APAS headquarters to cup the final round of the competition. APAS had pre-selected their top five coffees for us to judge, and the cups were all stellar. Almost all the specialty coffee coming out of Minas Gerais is fully natural processed coffees, which I wasn't expecting but thoroughly enjoyed. They had some incredible profiles, lots of fruit notes and juiciness - which made choosing a winner difficult!
We did choose a winner in the end - and though the APAS cup is a relatively small regional competition, there were trophies awarded at a reception where APAS members and roasters from around the world had drinks, food, and enjoyed one anothers' company. All in all a very successful competition for only its second installment - and I'm looking forward to future iterations of the APAS cup that continue to grow and yield even more unique coffees.
This visit to Brazil showed me a different side of what's going on there coffee-wise. When someone would say "Brazilian coffee" before this trip, the image in my head was one of the massive low-lying coffee plantations cranking out commodity-grade coffee for the world's gas stations and grocery store shelves - which definitely still takes place. But because of that large commercial industry, there are plenty of producers with access to equipment, capital, and coffee-specific infrastructure that are poised to make a real mark in the specialty marketplace.
After visiting with producers in Minas Gerais and seeing all the hard work and expertise directed towards specialty production, I'm excited about the future of Brazilian coffee. The flavors I experienced were jammy, fruity, and unlike anything I'd seen from Brazilian coffees before. It's relatively rare to see South American coffees running with mostly natural processing due to rain being common in many growing regions, so it's exciting to see that we'll have more opportunities to pick up unique natural-processed beans. I booked a few of the lots from APAS for the club, and I can't wait for them to arrive so that you can all taste what I tasted, and experience a different side of Brazilian coffee.

When submitting to the reader this my first work on Veterinary Science, I cannot forbear from addressing to him a few remarks, in the hope of explaining some of those peculiarities which it may appear to present. At a period of life, when many men retire from active business, I commenced the study of a new profession. My mind was not prepared to receive instruction through the ordinary process, and I was, by necessity, obliged to be, in a great measure, my own tutor. I found that I could learn only through observation, and this circumstance led me into inquiries which often left me in opposition with established opinions. Hence many of the facts announced in the following pages are new, and not very much contained in them is strictly accordant with the acknowledged authorities. The latter circumstance I may regret, but I have no apology to offer for it. My convictions are derived from the study of Nature, and are conclusions gained from a higher source than conjecture or opinion sanctioned by time or approved by professors.


As people, business, and information cross borders, so too do legal disputes. Globalisation means that courts need to apply principles of private international law with increasing frequency. Thus, as the Law Society of New South Wales recognised in its 2017 report The Future of Law and Innovation in the Profession, knowledge of private international law is increasingly important to legal practice. In particular, it is essential to the modern practice of commercial law.
This book considers key issues at the intersection of commercial law and private international law. The authors include judges, academics and practising lawyers, from Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and the United Kingdom. They bring a common law perspective to contemporary problems concerning the key issues in private international law: jurisdiction, choice of law, and recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments. The book also addresses issues of evidence and procedure in cross-border litigation, and the impact of recent developments at the Hague Conference on Private International Law, including the Convention on Choice of Court Agreements on common law principles of private international law.

Opinion: What we've lost during Trump's first year
Rep. Karen Bass (Calif.) | 1/31/2018, 10:18 a.m.
The year leading up to his inauguration in 2017, as the Republican presidential nominee, Donald Trump espoused senseless, baseless and ultimately empty assertions about the state of Black Americans and our communities. Submitted photo
The year leading up to his inauguration in 2017, as the Republican presidential nominee, Donald Trump espoused senseless, baseless and ultimately empty assertions about the state of Black Americans and our communities.
"What the hell do you have to lose?" he screamed in front of a predominantly White crowd in a small, predominantly White suburb of Lansing, Michigan.
After Trump was inaugurated, the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) found it prudent to answer his question. In March, the CBC Executive Committee, led by our Chairman Cedric L. Richmond (D-La.), presented Trump with a 130-page policy document entitled, "We Have A Lot To Lose: Solutions to Advance Black Families in the 21st Century."
The document, which was compiled by the entire 49-member Caucus, outlined policy solutions down to the bill text for issues facing our communities. Voting rights, criminal justice reform, economic justice, education, health care, immigration – these were just some of the topics we presented to continue our progress.
Unfortunately, these are the issues that Trump and his administration have chosen to ignore. The President, who has not commented on the document since we presented it to him, obviously has had other ideas, almost as if he wanted to answer his own question in his first year, to show us what we can lose.
The truth is that in this first year, we've lost a lot.
Almost immediately after being elected, Trump established the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity and appointed a known vote suppressor to lead it. The commission was designed to intimidate voters and Trump—because of political and legal pressure—recently decided to dissolve it into the Department of Homeland Security.
Throughout the past year, Trump has stacked the federal courts with judges with nothing short of scandalous records when it comes to voting rights. Among his nominee group was Thomas Farr, who helped lawmakers draft and defend a 2013 law that the Fourth Circuit Court of North Carolina ruled targeted African American voters "with almost surgical precision."
On the criminal justice front, Trump has used the Department of Justice to embrace mass incarceration and shy away from transparent policing. One example of this is an FBI report published last August entitled, "Black Identity Extremists Likely Motivated to Target Law Enforcement Officers." One problem with the report is that the term "Black Identity Extremists" is an invented group that does not exist. There are no Black people organized to kill law enforcement officers. When I asked Attorney General Jeff Sessions, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and FBI Director Christopher Wray about the origins of this report, none of them could tell me what the report was even based on or how the term was created.
Economically, Trump has gone after our consumer protections. Congress is working to repeal Dodd-Frank, a landmark piece of legislation designed to protect consumers from the wreck of the 2009 recession. Trump's favoring of big banks will ultimately leave consumers in the same spot they were during the recession, or worse. The education of our children is also under attack. In 2014, for the first time ever, the majority of public school students in the United States were non-White. Secretary DeVos has been less than helpful to these institutions, ignoring grave disparities in how students of color are disciplined compared to White students, and supporting a budget that would further attack services that public schools provide.

NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION IN WHOLE OR IN PART, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN THE UNITED STATES, AUSTRALIA, CANADA, NEW ZEALAND, HONG KONG, JAPAN, SINGAPORE, SOUTH AFRICA, SOUTH KOREA OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION WHERE SUCH RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION WOULD BE UNLAWFUL OR WOULD REQUIRE REGISTRATION OR ANY OTHER MEASURES. PLEASE REFER TO IMPORTANT INFORMATION AT THE END OF THE PRESS RELEASE.
Biovica International AB (publ) ("Biovica" or the "Company") has, subject to the extraordinary general meeting subsequent approval and as communicated in the Company's press release earlier today, resolved to carry out a directed new share issue of Class B Shares at a subscription price of SEK 10 per share. The directed new share issue was substantially over-subscribed with large interest from institutional investors in the Nordics and Europe. Through the directed new share issue and subject to the approval of the extraordinary General Meeting, the Company will receive proceeds amounting to SEK 60 million. The notice convening the EGM will be published separately today.
The board of directors of Biovica has, based on the authorization given by the extraordinary general meeting, and as communicated in the Company's press release earlier today, resolved to carry out a directed new share issue of 6,000,000 Class B shares to institutional investors in the Nordics and Europe (the "Directed New Share Issue"). The transaction has been performed on the basis of an accelerated bookbuilding procedure which has been carried out by the Company's financial advisor Pareto Securities AB ("Pareto Securities").
The subscription price in the Directed New Share Issue is set to SEK 10 per Class B shares and has been determined through the bookbuilding procedure. Through the Directed New Share Issue, Biovica will raise SEK 60 million before transaction costs. The subscription price in the Directed New Share Issue represents a discount of approximately 9.5 percent to the volume weighted average price of the Biovica share during the latest 20 trading days.
The Directed New Share Issue entails a dilution of approximately 25.5 percent of the number of shares and approximately 15.7 percent of the votes in the Company. Through the Directed New Share Issue, the number of outstanding shares will increase by 6,000,000 from 17,573,372 to 23,573,372 and the number of votes will increase from 32,168,248 to 38,168,248 (distributed between 7,297,438 Class A shares and 16,275,934 Class B shares. The share capital will increase by SEK 400,000.00 from SEK 1,171,558.13 to SEK 1,571,558.13.
The reason for the deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights are mainly to broaden the shareholder base among Swedish and international institutional investors and at the same time raise capital in a time and cost-efficient manner. The Directed New Share Issue is carried out to primarily finance the preparations for the application (510k) to the FDA regarding approval for the US market and to obtain compensation for DiviTum. Furthermore, will the proceeds be used for sales and marketing for the US and European commercialization of DiviTum. The board of directors' assessment is that the subscription price in the Directed New Share Issue will be in accordance with market conditions, since it will be determined through an accelerated bookbuilding procedure.
In connection with the Directed New Share Issue, the Company has undertaken, with customary exceptions, not to issue additional shares for a period of 180 calendar days after the outcome of the Directed New Share Issue. In addition, board members and persons of the management have undertaken not to sell any shares in Biovica for a period of 90 calendar days after the outcome of the Directed New Share Issue.
Due to technicalities, the Directed New Share Issue will be subscribed for by Pareto Securities to the quota value for immediate transfer to the institutional investors who signed up for the share issue at the price of SEK 10 per share.
The Directed New Share Issue is conditional on the Extraordinary General Meeting approving the Board's decision regarding the Directed New Share Issue.
The Company's principal shareholder; CEO and Board member, Anders Rylander, as well as other board members and existing shareholders who holds approximately 47 per cent of the votes in the Company, has undertaken to vote for the Directed New Share Issue approval during the Extraordinary General Meeting.
The notice convening the EGM will be published separately today and will contain the Boards complete decision regarding the Directed New Share Issue.
Pareto Securities AB is acting Sole Manager and Bookrunner and Baker & McKenzie Advokatbyrå KB is legal adviser in connection with the Directed New Share Issue.

The Target Market Assessment is without prejudice to the requirements of any contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the Directed New Share Issue.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Target Market Assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of MiFID II; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any other action whatsoever with respect to the shares in Biovica.
Each distributor is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the shares in Biovica and determining appropriate distribution channels.
 Based on the number of outstanding shares after the Directed New Share Issue.

3 upcoming gigs, 2 decades of DSOTW and 1 great video!
Posted by DSOTW on Feb 17, 2016 in News and Updates
Lots to tell you about in this latest blog post!
This Saturday (20th February) sees us head back to Derby for another gig at The Flowerpot, an atmospheric venue if ever there was one! The capacity is 250 and we achieved a sell-out crowd here last year. What a brilliant night that was so we're really looking forward to coming back. Hopefully see a few of you there!
The Flowerpot.
King Street, Derby DE1 3DZ.
8.45pm start.

We have also just announced on social media that we will be staging a major show in the band's home city of Coventry to celebrate our 20th Anniversary Year! We're beyond thrilled that this show will be at a fantastic new venue called The Empire on Far Gosford Street on Saturday 3rd September. The Empire is the perfect place for us to put on our full spectacular show and we hope everyone who has helped us reach this particular milestone will come along and join the fun. It's quite a feat for Coventry's own Pink Floyd tribute band and we couldn't have done it without the support of all the musicians, crew and most importantly, everyone who has come to the shows over the years. We'd love to see as many of you there as possible.

More details on tickets/timings etc will be announced in due course but in the meantime… make sure you put Sat 3rd Sept in your diary!!!!
And in case you haven't seen it yet. Take a look at our new promo video on YouTube.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h88Td5wE2r4
Filmed by Howling Mad Productions and lovingly edited together by our own Keyboard Pete, the end result is a compilation of clips from several songs, all performed live at The Benn Hall in Rugby, to capture the essence of a DSOTW show. Hope you like it!
It's also less than month to go til our annual visit to The Benn Hall in Rugby, always one of our favourites. We're there again on SATURDAY 12th MARCH. We've been coming to this venue since 2002 and it's always a brilliant place to stage our full show. We also have a brand new lighting crew, who are working on a different visual approach to our shows, especially as the guys involved are all Floydies too… something we've never previously had from our lighting crews over the years. Advance tickets are already on sale and we will be running the usual pay on the door option too.

Finally, we have a brand new venue to perform at in Lutterworth when we make our first visit to The Piano Room. This is a large function room based at Hall Park, the home of Lutterworth Athletic FC. Having not played in the area since our Wycliffe Room shows we've been looking for somewhere suitable to come back to and we're delighted to support what is a new venue run by enthusiatic people. We're there on SATURDAY 23rd APRIL and look forward to seeing many people who have supported the band locally over the years, be it at the old Moorbarns, the old football club club house or the aforementioned Wycliffe Rooms.

Eerie Rands 'Dream' Delves Into Realm Just Out Of Reach
Nancy Malitz
Bernard Rands acknowledges applause at the premiere of 'Dream,' a musical evocation inspired by the bizarre incongruities of slumber, at Chicago Symphony Orchestra performances under Riccardo Muti. (Concert photos by Anne Ryan)
By Nancy Malitz
CHICAGO – A new composition by Bernard Rands for orchestra, Dream, begins with a pair of very soft, very low, swelling chords with delicate timbral overlays. In the extreme quiet, the gentle whooshes evoke a sleeper breathing. Next comes an intense jolt of nattering strings followed by nearly twelve minutes of music that jumps the synapses with surprising twists and turns.
Dream is aptly named, then. In its world premiere performances through Nov. 5 by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra under music director Riccardo Muti, Dream was delivered as a beautiful enigma, underscoring Rands' lifelong exploration of the psyche as "an island in the infinite," to borrow a phrase from Lorca, among the many poets whose words he has set. Dream made hypnotic sense even as it conjured the bewildering incongruities and bizarre surprises of the sort that come with a brain's nocturnal housekeeping during the deep-sleep mode.
'Le Tambourin' contained early ideas for Rands' opera 'Vincent.'
At 85, Rands is among America's most distinguished composers. His Canti del Sole, a song cycle for tenor and orchestra based on texts by Quasimodo, Dylan Thomas, and others, won the 1984 Pulitzer Prize; his Le Tambourin orchestral suites, which contain material for his 2011 Van Gogh opera Vincent, won Rands a 1986 Friedheim. A forthcoming orchestra piece, Symphonic Fantasy, has been co-commissioned by the Boston and BBC Symphonies for performances in July 2020 at Tanglewood and in December 2020 at the Barbican. And in April 2020, a new opus for Chicago's Spektral Quartet will be offered with something different – musical responses from each of the nine composers of the Chicago Composers Consortium – which Spektral predicts will be a listening experience "akin to viewing a Brancusi from nine different vantage points."
Muti commissioned the new work from Rands to celebrate the composer's 85th birthday and their friendship over decades.
The Chicago Symphony commissioned Dream in part to celebrate the British-American composer's long relationship with the orchestra, which spans more than a quarter century and includes world premieres and major works led by Muti, Pierre Boulez (Le Tambourin and the first Cello Concerto), and Daniel Barenboim (apókryphos). Muti's friendship with Rands extends back to 1989, during Muti's Philadelphia Orchestra directorship, when Rands became composer in residence at Muti's request. In a recent radio interview, Muti said he admired Rands immediately for the European perspective that he brought, and also that Rands had "the courage to express his soul." To date Muti has conducted more of Rands' pieces than any other conductor.
For his part, Rands said he became aware of Muti, who is seven years younger, when the composer was studying abroad with Luciano Berio in the '60s. Berio was doing pathbreaking work with electronics and the human voice at the time; an aspect of his influence is detectable in Rands' attention to minute aspects of sonic curve and timbre. Rands heard the very young Muti conduct at the arts festival Maggio Musicale in Florence and said he realized right away that the young maestro was special. (There are pictures from Muti's early days in the clip below.)
The two quickly bonded in Philadelphia, where Rands rarely missed a rehearsal. They lived in the same building near the Academy of Music and dined frequently together, conversing in Italian.
Muti in 1989, when Rands was Philadelphia's composer in residence.
Rands' fascination with the layered mysteries and elusive truths of the conscious and unconscious human experience – for which he draws heavily from poetry, painting, the soundscape of bells, and the cycles of sun and moon – has won him labels of expressionist, post-impressionist, and even romantic. Although his early music shows the composer assimilating all of the 20th century's prevailing trends, including post-serial, pop, and electronic explorations, he has long since settled on an approach to form, palette, and overall objective that is, in its striking precision and originality, perhaps closer to Debussy than anyone else. Certainly the score of Dream bears a resemblance. Nearly every one of its musical passages comes with detailed, note-specific instructions, but the resultant effect seems spontaneous and ephemeral.
There are snorts and clarion calls from the brass, lingering lines with an aura of erotic reverie for the double reeds, pulseless expanses, abrupt interruptions, and episodes that seem like lost pieces in a puzzle. Through this emerged the tantalizing sense of a narrative just out of reach, until, toward the end, all seemed to coalesce around a fascinating, throaty melody in the string choir. One might mistake the moment for the clarity of wakefulness – except for an arresting chord at the end that some would identify as reminiscent of Debussy, or others might say James Brown. Is the puzzle triumphantly solved? Will the dreamer remember this dream? The inscrutability of that last sound is a fitting question mark.
