What lies beyond the pandemic? MassForward is MassLives series examining the journey of Massachusetts businesses through and beyond the coronavirus pandemic.

Six feet social distancing, plexiglass and the temporary closure of poker tables. The reopening of Encore Boston Harbor on June 12 is a very different one than the opening just over a year ago on June 23.

Poker, roulette and craps are not available but Brian Gullbrants, Encore Boston Harbor president is working on a solution to open them back up.

We do have a plan for roulette and craps, Gullbrants, who took over as president in Oct. 2019, told MassLive. We are designing what we believe is a safe environment with plexiglass that we will propose to the Massachusetts Gaming Commission in the coming weeks and hope that theyre accepting of those protocols at safety measures that allow it to be safe.

Plexiglass has been wrapped around a craps table with dividers that will separate each player. Gullbrants said that each table will have two sets of dice and while one set is in play, the other will be washed in a disinfecting solution. And this cycle will continue with the next player and the next.

Boston Encore President Brian Gullbrants is entusiastic about the reopening that took place on July 12. He wants to see how the reopening goes before opening up more of the casino and hotel. With the pandemic still a threat, he told MassLive that the health and safety of the patrons is paramount and would close the doors if he felt too many people were on the casino floor.

The team designing the mockup for the eventual demonstration to the MGC has even been looking at making the plexiglass slightly convex so the player, as they throw the dice, doesnt come into contact with the transparent plastic.

This is still a prototype, however, and those that still want to play the games that are yet to open can still do so on electronic table games that have also been separated by 6-foot-high plexiglass.

In March, the two-level casino had 3,100 slot machines, roughly 2,500 table games and private gaming rooms. After the reopening in July there are 1,900 slot machines, 560 table games and the private rooms are still available.

The new guidelines include rules and recommendations for screening guests, including a requirement to make hand sanitizer available and a suggestion to conduct temperature checks. Social distancing guidelines for slots include a requirement that casinos turn off every other slot machine and remove chairs, and to either ensure a minimum of 6 feet between slot positions or install 6-foot-tall plexiglass dividers.

As patrons walk through the doors of the Encore Boston Harbor, into the grand entrance, they see a series of signs and red cordons placed to dictate the direction they are to take.

Encore installed thermal imaging cameras at its entrances to detect any customer with a temperature over 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit. Anyone with a high temperature would be taken for a secondary screening with a temporal thermometer. Visitors who have a temperature over 100.4 degrees would not be allowed in.

Gullbrants demonstrated on the monitor how effective the infrared camera is. Although one patron had set off the alert once, there have been no other incidents to date. And the visitors temperature was taken again by a member of staff and turned out to be a false alarm.

No expense has been spared in the redesign of the casino to follow the guidelines, even down to the signs on the floor. The signs on the floor were designed for each area specifically. For example, the coffee shop has a coffee cup-shaped social distancing notices and the casino floor has messages in the shape of a poker chip.

Gullbrants said that he will be keeping an eye on crowding in the casino and will not hesitate to tell the staff to stop visitors from entering if he feels there are too many.

As each customer walks through the door an infrared camera takes their temperatures. If it is about 100 degrees, a staff member will take their temperature with a handheld thermometer. The person, if they are above 100 degrees, will be asked to leave. (Douglas Hook / MassLive)

Wynn Resorts reported a 42.3% decline in revenues for the first quarter of 2020, with operating revenues at $953.7 million. The losses at the companys properties in China and Las Vegas were partially offset by the Everett casinos operating revenues, which stood at $140.9 million.

But the resort casino is now losing millions daily after closing to the public on March 15 and agreeing to pay workers through the end of May. In the reopening plan, Wynn Resorts CEO Matt Maddox estimated that the decision to pay employees through May 31 is costing about $3 million daily, amounting to a total of $220 million. The casinos in Nevada are closed, while the ones in China are open to limited business.

Wynn Resorts, the casinos parent company, put off furloughs after closing on March 15 in light of the coronavirus pandemic, paying the roughly 4,200 employees who work at the $2.6 billion Everett casino. The $3 million a day amounts to roughly $220 million between mid-March and May, the company said.

Perplex glass has been installed where the six feet of social distancing cannot be adhered to and slot machines have been shut down to promote social distancing. All this is in accordance with the Massachusetts Gaming Commission. (Douglas Hook / MassLive)

Encore Boston Harbor announced furloughs for 3,000 employees as the Everett casino awaited the start of the states third reopening phase to resume its casino operations and dining services. During the shutdown 700 essential staff were kept on.

With the reopening, more than 1,700 employees have been rehired.

When the casino opened in 2019, 125,000 people applied for work and only 3% were hired, according to Gullbrants. He said that unlike some other businesses across the state, where the unemployment check and COVID-19 stimulus package is better than their wage, Encore has had no trouble hiring back its staff.

Encore regularly buys the largest number of flowers in Massachusetts which are planted around the grounds and throughout the casino. Before the pandemic, there was a team of 20-25 gardeners to plant the large numbers of flowers being delivered as well as attending to the grounds and floral decorations throughout the casino, according to Patrick Chadwick, director of horticulture and floral. Now there is a team of 10 and Chadwick.

While the casino was shut down and the horticultural and floral staff furloughed, Chadwick cared for the gardens himself.

Patrick Chadwick, director of horticulture and floral at Boston Encore has been able to hire back half of his staff and hopes, when the casino starts to return to the previous numbers of visitors before the shutdown, he will hire back the rest. (Douglas Hook / MassLive)

Eric Kraus, senior vice president of communications and public affairs said that 135,000 flowers and plants were given away during the shutdown because it would have been pointless to keep them. He told MassLive that they were given to local municipalities and charitable organizations that showed interest in them.

Encore has hired all the horticultural staff back but not all of the floral. Because of fewer numbers, those working the grounds and floral decorations in the casino have had to branch out and try their hand in other areas.

The florist has taken over the interior plant program here at Encore Boston Harbor, said Chadwick. Traditionally, that would have been done by a different role. But now theyre maintaining all the floral arrangements but their also taking care of all the palm [trees], the lobby. Theyre doing all that.

Boston Encore President Brian Gullbrants is enthusiastic about the reopening that took place on July 12. He wants to see how the reopening goes before opening up more of the casino and hotel. With the pandemic still a threat, he told MassLive that the health and safety of the patrons is paramount and would close the doors if he felt too many people were on the casino floor. (Douglas Hook / MassLive)

Every moment I want more of my staff back, said Chadwick who has been able to hire all the horticultural staff back but not the floral staff.

Many of the staff at the casino have had to take on more responsibility to ensure that health and safety at the casino are maintained amid a smaller staff than before.

Were taking steps forward to get back to some sense of normalcy and this is a part of that journey, said Gullbrants. This is one of those steps that we continue to take, and I think Governor [Charlie] Baker has been very vigilant and very measured in his rolling out of the different phases. Were highly supportive and should we have to take a step back we will. But were hoping that with our due diligence, our extensive measures of health and safety protocols and our customers compliance, we can continue to maintain a wonderful, safe, fun, environment for all to enjoy. Thats really our focus right now.

Here’s why today’s Google Doodle is celebrating the Turkish astrophysicist Dilhan Eryurt – Yorkshire Post

Today's Google Doodle celebrates Dilhan Eryurt, a Turkish astrophysicist who played a huge role in the way we understand how the Sun was formed.

But who was she, what were some of her notable achievements, and why has Google chosen today to honour her?

Here's everything you need to know.

Who was Dilhan Eryurt?

Born in 1926 in zmir - Turkey's third most populous city - Prof. Dr. Dilhan Eryurt grew up across the country, first moving to Istanbul with her family, and then on to Turkey's second city, Ankara, a few years later.

After developing an interest in mathematics in high school, Eryurt enrolled in the Istanbul University Department of Mathematics and Astronomy, and upon graduation, was assigned to open an Astronomy Department at Ankara University.

She relocated to the US to continue her graduate studies at the University of Michigan, and while there completed her doctorate at the Ankara University Department of Astrophysics, becoming Associate Professor.

From 1961, Eryurt held a position at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Centre, her appointment extra notable for the fact she was the only female astronomer working at the institution at the time.

What did she study?

Eryurt's work at Goddard revealed some facts about the Sun that were not yet understood.

For instance, she observed that the brightness of the Sun had not increased - it had in fact decreased - since its formation 4.5 billion years ago, revealing that our nearest star was much brighter and warmer in the past.

Her studies influenced the course of the scientific and engineering research aims of space flights - a new and uncharted territory at the time.

In 1969 she was awarded the Apollo Achievement Award for contributions to the Apollo 11 mission. Today (20 July) marks 51 years since Buzz Aldrin, Neil Armstrong and Michael Collins landed and walked on the moon.

Aldrin and Armstrong spent a total of 21 hours and 36 minutes on the moon, but the Apollo 11 mission itself lasted a total of eight days, three hours, 18 min, and 35 seconds.

This is likely the reason Google have chosen today to celebrate Eryurt's life; her research provided NASA engineers with crucial information for modelling solar impact on the lunar environment

She later moved on to work at the California University, where she studied the formation and development of Main Sequence stars - a continuous band of stars that appear on plots of stellar colour versus brightness.

What else did she do?

Throughout her long and successful career, Eryurt became an award-winning astronomer, picking up all sorts of nods for her contributions and work.

Other notable achievements of hers include the organising of Turkey's first National Astronomy Congress in 1968, and the establishment of the Astrophysics Department at the Middle East Technical University.

She retired in 1993 after a long career, and sadly died in September 2012 at the age of 85, suffering a heart attack in Ankara.

This App Claims It Can Hear COVID-19 in Your Voice

Posted on by

An app called Sonde One claims to spot signs of respiratory disease just by analyzing your voice. But it's careful to clarify that it can't really diagnose.

As some companies re-open their offices or plants, some workers may find themselves asked to partake in a strange new morning ritual: Answer a few questions about their health, take their temperature, and say “ahhh” into their phone.

After a few seconds, an app called Sonde One will make a snap decision. If their temperature is too high or they sound sick, it will tell them to stay home with a warning that there’s a good chance they caught COVID-19.

The app, made by healthcare developer Sonde Health to counter the coronavirus pandemic, doesn’t diagnose any diseases — as CEO David Liu was careful to emphasize on a call with Futurism. But it does search for symptoms in an oft-overlooked biomarker: the voice.

“When there’s disease and symptoms occur, they do affect different parts of your body. To speak, that takes over 100 different parts of the body,” Liu told Futurism. “The brain, muscles in the jaw, tongue, mouth, throat, all the way down to your lungs and heart — they all come together in concert in order to give your body the ability to speak.”

“When your body is suffering from a symptom of a disease,” he added, “you will notice — and it’s audible to the human ear — that something physiologically is affecting your ability to speak, your voice.”

It’s a relatively new way to probe for disease. But companies are already taking note. Asking employees to say “ahhh” into their phone for a few seconds per day is much less disruptive — and expensive — than lining everyone up to take their temperature or requiring actual coronavirus tests.

Sonde’s app isn’t the first to attempt to test for COVID. Earlier this year, researchers at Carnegie Mellon University released a similar project that analyzed users’ voices for signs of the respiratory illness.

Sonde already has one large client sold on the app. The cloud computing firm SHI International plans to deploy it for its 4,200 employees in August.

Liu clarified that it’s up to Sonde’s customers to decide what threshold of risk they’re willing to accept from the questionnaire, temperature, and audio analysis.

“The voice analysis, what comes out of that is a score,” Liu said. “A risk assessment: either, high, medium, or low. And that’s respiratory symptom risk. When we work with employers, we provide them this data, and employers create a rubric. We don’t actually decide who stays home.”

Sonde One also, Liu repeated, doesn’t actually identify COVID-19. In fact, the company is only just now testing the app on coronavirus patients. Rather, he says, it determines how likely it is that someone is experiencing the respiratory symptoms that are often linked to the disease.

“Currently our machine learning model has been shown to have an accuracy of over 70 percent for detecting the presence of acoustic voice changes that occur in patients with a range of specific respiratory diseases including asthma and COPD,” Liu said in a follow-up email.

It’s a distinction that’s important for legal purposes — and when asked to compare Sonde One to coronavirus nasal swabs and blood tests, Liu is quick to argue that one shouldn’t replace the other.

“You’ll never hear us say that we will replace a nasal swab type of test,” Liu told Futurism. “Those serve a certain need for diagnosis.”

But he added that the swabs are cumbersome, and requiring them for employees at a large company like SHI would be a logistical nightmare, to say nothing of the long wait for results that many Americans have experienced.

“It’s going to be difficult to expect people to do that daily,” he said.

Speaking into a phone for six seconds is certainly less disruptive than sticking a swab in every employee’s nose, but Liu added that his company’s big data approach might also improve upon the tests in general.

“We’ve heard that the nasal swabs return a disturbing number of false negatives, and that’s kind of disturbing,” he said. “That’s the reality of what we’re seeing: more data more often will win the day, I think. You want to be able to know right away, right when they’re developing symptoms, so you can prevent spread.”

Overall, Liu said, he wants to offer an app that’s as simple and non-invasive as possible so that people will actually use it.

In a country where many still refuse to wear masks in public, that may not be the worst idea.

“It’s really important for us to get this as widely adopted as possible,” Liu said.

Texas Residents Spot Disintegrating Russian Rocket Booster in Sky

A second stage of a Russian rocket that launched a mysterious spacecraft  reentered the Earth's atmosphere over the weekend, burning up like a comet.

Great Big Fireball

A second stage of a Russian rocket reentered the Earth’s atmosphere over the weekend, burning up like a comet. The spectacular event was caught on camera by dozens of onlookers across south Texas and Mexico.

More, impressive footage of the reentry of a Russian rocket stage (space debris) over southwest US and Mexico last night: https://t.co/rPlbBu2PPa

— Dr Marco Langbroek (@Marco_Langbroek) July 18, 2020

Jonathan McDowell, an astronomer at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, noted on Twitter that it was likely a second stage of the Soyuz rocket that put a mysterious spacecraft called Kosmos-2543 into orbit.

Russia’s Kosmos-2543 mission made headlines earlier this year when TIME reported that the mysterious spacecraft appeared to closely shadow a multibillion-dollar US spy satellite after launching in November 2019.

Meanwhile the Soyuz-2-1V second stage that put Kosmos-2543 in orbit has reentered over Coahuila, Mexico at 0702 UTC heading north over western Texas. @Marco_Langbroek reports that the reentry was observed by people in Texas.

Falling Rockets

While the great big fireball in the sky was truly a sight to behold, it’s a pretty common occurrence, as McDowell noted in a tweet, writing that “there have been thousands which have reentered like this over the years.”

Rocket parts are almost impossible to track, as their orbit decays over time. Once they’re close enough to reenter the atmosphere, they become bright in the sky as they heat up.

While it is rare, some rocket parts can survive this reentry and fall to the ground. China, for instance, let a gigantic Long March 5B rocket descend back to Earth in a completely uncontrolled manner in May.

Meanwhile, SpaceX has achieved a new milestone on Monday, catching both fairing halves of a recent launch payload using two massive ship-mounted nets.

A “Bunny Ebola” Epidemic Is Sweeping Through America’s Rabbits

Posted on by

Pet owners and wildlife conservationists alike are terrified of a deadly, highly-contagious disease spreading among rabbit populations in the United States.

Rabbit hemorrhagic disease, which has picked up the evocative moniker “Bunny Ebola,” has been around for decades. But now it’s hitting the U.S. hard, with rabbit deaths reported in New York, Washington, and now seven states in the southwest, Popular Science reports. It’s devastating both domestic and wild — and sometimes endangered — rabbit populations.

Susan Kerr, an education and outreach specialist at the Washington State Department of Agriculture, told Popular Science that the disease’s high infection and mortality rates “both represent a longtime fear that has come true. Rabbit enthusiasts have always been terrified of this disease.”

To be absolutely clear: the disease, despite its nickname, is unrelated to Ebola and can’t infect humans. The name comes from how similar the two disease’s symptoms are: infected rabbits have a low chance of surviving the severe inflammation, bleeding, and organ failure that rabbit hemorrhagic disease causes.

Experts say rabbit owners can protect their pets by foregoing wild grass and pine boughs. There’s also a vaccine that can be imported from Europe, Popular Science reports. But conservationists will have a hard time protecting wild rabbits which, if they die off, could deprive other animals of a vital food source.

For some species, conservationists’ strategies basically boil down to crossing their fingers, Popular Science reports.

“I’m hoping that because [the rabbit-like species] pika live at such high elevations that maybe… they will be just disconnected enough that the virus won’t get to them,” Deana Clifford, senior wildlife veterinarian at the California Department of Fish and Wildlife’s Wildlife Investigations Lab, told Popular Science. “But we don’t know.”

GitHub Just Sealed All Its Open Source Code in an Apocalypse-Proof Vault

Posted on by

GitHub sealed away its entire open-source depository in the Arctic World Archive, where it will hopefully survive society-ending catastrophes.

Locked Up

Earlier this month, the code management platform GitHub sealed away its archive of open source software in an Arctic vault so deep that they say it could survive a nuclear blast.

The mildly-outlandish idea behind the move, Engadget reports, is to give a boost to future generations after a hypothetical civilization-ending catastrophe. Should that happen, whatever civilization emerges from the ashes won’t have to start from scratch and could instead tap the knowledge of modern-day coders and engineers.

Historical Neighborhood

It’s been almost a year since GitHub announced its plan to store the code in the Arctic World Archive, an abandoned Norwegian coal mine protected by hundreds of meters of permafrost. The cache is stored on a type of microfilm that can be read with a physical magnifying glass.

Also sealed in the same mine are Vatican records, movies, and a vast array of other digital archives. And they’re in good company: The “Doomsday” Seed Vault is located on the same island of Spitsbergen.

Achievement Unlocked

It’s difficult to imagine a societal catastrophe that’s just cataclysmic enough that the most pressing need for a new society is to recover lost software. But it doesn’t hurt to have a copy backed up just in case.

Still, as Engadget reports, the most obvious benefit for archiving the open-source software may be for the developers involved: Anyone who contributed to a project that made its way into the Arctic World Archive gets to display a little badge next to their username on GitHub.

Someone Just Sold Apollo 11’s Joysticks, Against NASA’s Wishes

Posted on by

Three historic joysticks used to control NASA's Apollo 11 command module have just sold for more than $780,000 at an auction, going against NASA's wishes.

Ground Control

Three historic joysticks used to control NASA’s Apollo 11 command module, Columbia, just sold for more than $780,000 at an auction over the weekend — against the wishes of the space agency itself, as Space.com reports.

An official description on the auction house’s website advertised the sale as including “some of the most important pieces used in space exploration including the actual pilot control stick used by Neil Armstrong on the Apollo 11 flight to the moon.”

The command module, piloted by Michael Collins, flew the Apollo 11 lunar module to orbit around the Moon, with pilots Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong inside.

Bidding War

The joysticks themselves were used to control Columbia when docking with the lunar module Eagle. They were initially offered to the three astronauts months after mission completion, but the crew refused the gifts, according to Space.com.

A NASA employee discovered the three joysticks decades later at the Johnson Space Center in Houston and took them home, Collect Space reports. The employee then sold them at auction to a collector.

In 2013, one of the joysticks would’ve been sold at auction in Boston, but NASA made sure that didn’t happen, requesting to have the item donated to a museum instead. Three years later, NASA gave up.

A handrail used during extravehicular activity during the Apollo 11 mission also went on sale at an auction in 2000, selling for $34,500, according to Collect Space.

German Scientists Are Hosting a Concert to Study How COVID-19 Spreads

Posted on by

A team of German scientists are throwing a tightly-controlled concert in order to understand how COVID-19 can spread in large crowds.

In order to figure out how COVID-19 spreads among large groups, a team of German scientists decided to throw a big concert and, well, see what happens.

The concert experiment, dubbed RESTART-19, will involve a cohort of 4,000 volunteers acting out three concert scenarios, each with a different degree of mandated distancing between audience members and safety measures, in order to see what actually helps limit disease’s spread.

The idea is to host the kind of event that many are itching to get back to — and by identifying the specific risks of holding a concert, the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg scientists may be able to guide sports arenas or other large venues as they try to reopen as well.

The scientists can’t just put 4,000 concertgoers at risk of catching a deadly disease: According to the project’s website, all volunteers will be tested before and after the experiment, given a bottle of hand sanitizer, and will also have to wear masks the whole time.

But that’s the point of the whole thing. In each scenario — the third one will cut the audience size down to 2,000 — participants will be given a contact-tracing device that tracks how close they come to other volunteers. Also, that free bottle of hand sanitizer will be a special fluorescent formulation, so the scientists can use a UV light to see how many people touched various surfaces.

Ironically, the scientists already seem to have a pretty good grip on how to prevent the coronavirus from spreading. Many of the safety measures that the scientists are imposing — like only allowing people to take off their mask to eat or drink when they’re outside — would also help keep people safe during a real pandemic-era concert.

Criminal charges for undeclared Chinese research ties mount in the US – Chemistry World

Posted on by

The US Justice Department has charged another professor at an American university with committing research grant fraud to benefit China. Ohio State Universitys Song Guo Zheng used more than $4 million (3.2 million) in grant money from the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) to develop rheumatology and immunology expertise for the Chinese government, according to a criminal complaint unsealed following his 9 July detention hearing.

The 57-year-old Zheng has also allegedly been a participant in the Chinese governments Thousand Talents programme a scheme to recruit and cultivate high-profile scientists since 2013. He is charged with making false statements about maintaining employment in China at the same time he was working for US universities. Zheng, who was previously at the University of Southern California and Pennsylvania State University, faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted.

Zheng was arrested on 22 May at an airport in Alaska while preparing to board a flight to China. He had with him two laptops, three mobile telephones, several USB drives, several silver bars, expired Chinese passports for his family, as well as deeds for property in China, according to the Justice Department. Ohio State University spokesperson Ben Johnson says Zheng is currently on unpaid leave and that the university is proceeding towards termination. Zheng has been denied bail as he is considered a flight risk.

Yet again, we are faced with a professor at a US university, who is a member of a Chinese talent plan, allegedly and deliberately failing to disclose his relationship with a Chinese university and receipt of funds from the Chinese government in order to obtain millions of dollars in US grant money designed to benefit the health and well-being of the people of the US, said US assistant attorney general for national security, John Demers.

David DeVillers, US attorney for the Southern District of Ohio, said that this is his offices third recent case involving the illegal transfer of intellectual property and research to China.

A number of researchers in the US have faced similar charges in recent months, the most prominent being Charles Lieber, the former chair of Harvard Universitys Chemistry and Chemical Biology Department. He was indicted last month for making false statements to the authorities about his participation in the Thousand Talents programme.

Lieber allegedly concealed from both Harvard and the NIH his position as a strategic scientist at a Chinese university and the fact that the Chinese government was paying him, through the Wuhan University of Technology, a $50,000 monthly stipend, more than $150,000 in living expenses and more than $1.5 million to establish a laboratory in China. After his arrest in January, Lieber pleaded not guilty in June to two counts of making false statements.

Other lower-profile scientists have also been arrested over undeclared involvement in the Thousand Talents plan. In May, the Justice Department arrested Qing Wang, a former researcher with the Cleveland Clinic who worked on molecular medicine and the genetics of cardiovascular disease, and Simon Saw-Teong Ang, a University of Arkansas scientist conducting research for Nasa. Both were allegedly committing fraud by concealing their participation in Chinese talent recruitment programmes while accepting millions of dollars in American federal grant funding, said the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Christopher Wray, during remarks earlier this month to the Hudson Institute, a conservative thinktank in Washington DC.

Other cases include those of former Emory University neuroscientist Xiao-Jiang Li who pled guilty to filing a fraudulent tax return in May after failing to report income hed received through the Thousand Talents programme. Wray said the FBIs investigation found that while Li was researching Huntingtons disease at Emory, he also received half a million dollars from China which he never reported. In March, James Patrick Lewis, who at the time was a physics professor at West Virginia University, pled guilty to defrauding his institution so that he could take leave to satisfy competing obligations to a Chinese one. He was a tenured professor at the university between 2006 and August 2019, and specialised in coal conversion technologies.

Data presented to the advisory committee to the NIH director in June revealed that 54 researchers have resigned or been fired as a result of the NIHs investigation into whether grant recipients are properly disclosing foreign ties. The report found that 133 grant recipients had an undisclosed foreign grant and 102 had an undisclosed talent award. Consequently, 77 of these researchers have been removed from the NIH system 41% of the 189 scientists who the agency investigated. Nearly all of those cases under review 93% involve Chinese funding.

Bitcoin never left the safe-haven club – AMBCrypto English

Posted on by

For many in the cryptocurrency space, a safe-haven is an egregious word. To be a safe-haven would imply that Bitcoin is not the only haven, to be a safe-haven would imply that Bitcoin is an unlikely option in a testing time, and would mean Bitcoin is still an outlier. No no, there is no place for safe haven in Bitcoins ascendance to becoming the only medium of exchange andstore of value, but contrary to the larger claim, Bitcoin in the here and now is a safe-haven.

Traditional safe-havens, for the global market, are broadly the US dollar and gold, with Bitcoin the clear outsider in the space. However, if you were to look at the way these three respective leaders of their own asset-classes played out, amid cash-hoarding fears, followed by liquidity flooded hope, there is a similarity between them.

Indeed, this similarity was brought to the fore by the rising correlation between Bitcoin and the S&P500., while the commodity ignored its peers. Owing to this rather surprising correlation, and the skewed movement of gold, a report from Ecoinometrics pointed to Bitcoin, not once again entering the fray of safe-haven assets, but never leaving the club in the first place.

The report tracked the price and correlation from February, an optimum pre-crash baseline, and here it is important to go chronologically and follow the crypto leader and equity index. When the liquidity crisis hit, everybody wanted the dollar-dollar bills, and they were willing to give up stocks held and coins hodled for it, as was evident by the S&P500 crash and cryptos Black Thursday, naturally, the correlation rose.

Once the bottom was found, the Federal Reserve kicked in with the printing and both assets began to rally,

Next the Fed put kicks in and the stock market starts to rally. Of course people also buy Bitcoin on the cheap at the same time. Simultaneous rally equals again high correlation.

Following the rally, fatigue sets in by June, post the BTC halving. Both the stock market and Bitcoin begin sideways movement, and the correlation dips down to normal levels. During this crash in volatility in Bitcoin, the cryptocurrency begins to see price action on the short term. With no long term price action, as expectations are skewed, volatility drops and correlation rises once again.

Now, halfway through July, the equity markets are moving up, while Bitcoins volatility is moving down. At this point, a Bitcoin breakout could have a two-fold effect,

A BTC breakout should trigger a rise in volatility and a drop in correlation [with the S&P500]

While the times are unique, the movement of Bitcoin and the S&P500 is not. There is nothing unexpected in this sequence, suggests the Ecoinometrics report. In fact, this is akin to any large-scale global asset, with convenient on and off ramps.

This right out of the playbook of a typical safe-haven asset, dumped during a cash-crisis, and pumped during rising liquidity. But now Bitcoin is stuck and whatll get it out? One word whales. The best friend of derivatives trades on the right side of leveraged trades, worst nightmare of those on the opposite end, and a close acquaintance to exchanges, a big whale move could send Bitcoin into its next bullorbear market. The report said,

There is no FOMO so whales have all the power when it comes to triggering price actions. My guess is that a few whale trades from now Bitcoin will break out of this tight range

However, if we were to go by the same macro-asset narrative, breaking out of correlation and a volatility slump, could Bitcoin go the way of gold? The yellow metal has, since the March crash, increased by 25 percent, and let me remind you, this is gold were talking about, an asset whos 2019 was labelled positive because it surged by a whopping 29 percent.

The need to accumulate [hoard] gold following a financial crisis is understood, it happened a decade ago during the housing crash. But the question we must ask ourselves is, if Bitcoin is indeed turning into a safe-haven asset, and the worlds most recognized safe-haven has now reached an 8-year high, how much could Bitcoin rise after the crisis, especially if the whales go up?

Dance Bii with WesdaRuler, And More Music News and Gossip | Flagpole – Flagpole Magazine

Posted on by

A PARTY AINT A PARTY UNLESS THE RULER IS AROUND: Hot off the burned rubber of the most scorching political track in recent Athens history, WesdaRuler just released a new mix named Dance Bii. The single-track mix slides around through Wes many moods, but mostly has him out front with his strong lyricism and his signature sing-song flow. Stylistically, this dips deep into 70s R&B and proto-disco (I mean, hell, peep the cover art), but also has some of Slick Ricks oddball-ness, Kendrick Lamars sense of structure and even sparse instances of DJ Screw-style slowdowns. This is also a very personal record, much like his LP Ocean Drive, and lyric heads will take much appreciation of Wess attention to detail and unbridled openness. This runs at just about half an hour long, and theres no reason I can imagine that would keep this from being on a near-constant loop for a good while. Check it out at wesdaruler.bandcamp.com. Its also available on limited edition CD and cassette via HHBTM Records at hhbtm.bandcamp.com.

TRIPLE PLAY: Sensational pop maestros Heffner have been on a slow tear all year long, evidenced most recently by the new single All Alone Baby. Its the third for the group this year. Whereas earlier singlesYou Dont Even Know Him and Higher Education (Electronic Dance Music)traded on pub rock masculinity tempered with fashionable melodicism, All Alone Baby pulls the throttle back into crafty reverb territory. First, its a much gentler tune than the other two, and the vocals are a lot more lethargicspecifically so and not merely slow. The buried guitars provide much of the power here. There are slight traces of a vapor wave aesthetic, so slight it can hardly be an apt descriptor, but mostly this is the sound of the band performing that crucial third-track on a mixtape action. They took it up two notches and now pulled it back a little. Find all three on Spotify or your favorite streaming service. Follow along at facebook.com/Heffnerband.

LAY YR MONEY DOWN: Austin, TX label Chicken Ranch Records (current home to Athens own Five-Eight) is now taking pre-orders for the upcoming two-song vinyl debut single by Pinky Doodle Poodle. The featured songs are Are You Readywhich you can stream at the pre-order linkand Go Ahead. Featured guests on the first track include Athens folks Lucy Calhoun, Sienna Chandler (Monsoon) and Timi Conley. Please see facebook.com/pinkydoodlepoodle for more information, and head over to store.chickenranchrecords.com to order.

GREEN GROW THE RUSHES: Every few months, like dependable clockwork, Love My Truck releases a new batch of songs. On Independence Day, the duo released the four-song set, Girth Of A Nation. It opens with the metaphorical hymn to perseverance Gumby, slides into the mixed-media heft of Odd Shape, heads into the buoyantly lowly celebration of friendship Beer Smoke, then closes with the clarity of See It. On this set, Love My Truck heads back into the heady use of empty space, which serves their drop-dead gorgeous melodies very well. I mean, whats left to say? Celebrate this all by yourself at lovemytruck.bandcamp.com.

STOP. POTTER TIME: I swear, yall, the sun never sets on Michael Potters empire. To wit, yet another album by his long-running solo and ensemble project The Electric Nature just came out. This time credited to Michael Potter and The Electric Nature, its titled Trance Music and is composed of four long tracks (Trance I-IV), but theyre arranged in the order of III, II, I, IV. These live recordings are described by Potter as ambient primitive, which is pretty much on the mark and nods heavily toward what I can only imagine is a trove of heroes for Potter running from Eno to Fahey. While Trance III develops the records tone with minor swells near the middle, the very next track, Trance II, brings a pretty big howl-n-scrape in its midsection as well as some acoustic noodlin. Trance I follows in much the same fashion with similar construction. Closer, Trance IV begins with very audible audience chatter and the music builds in a lonely manner off in its own corner. By the end, though, the volume has increased, and the audience seemingly recedes. Its the audio equivalent of a camera slowly moving in for a closeup. This album is available via streaming and also as a cassette tape, and pre-orders are being accepted as we speak. To do either or both, please see gardenportal.bandcamp.com

Magic Beans Gather At Beanstalk: At The Drive-In Part Deux With SunSquabi, Dynohunter, More [Photos] – Live for Live Music

Posted on by

Magic Beans hosted a second round of their reimagined annual Beanstalk gathering at Fort Collins, COs Holiday Twin Drive-In Theatre this past weekend. After selling out the first drive-in edition of their festival three weeks ago, the Colorado-based quartet decided to keep the music going with Beanstalk: At The Drive-In Part Deux for their last show of the summer, regulating safety measures and social distancing throughout the weekend.

Friday kicked off with a Dynohunter DJ set by trio member Clark Smith at 6:30 p.m., who set off the night with an hour-long set of infectious, trance house grooves. SunSquabi took to the stage for their first of two sets of the weekend at 8 p.m., welcoming friends Colby Buckler (Emancipator Ensemble) on drums and Ian Gilley (Recess) on keys billed as a SunSquabi & Friends set. The group kicked off their with Just A Little, laying down electro-funk jams for 90 minutes as the sun continued its path down over the horizon.

As the stars peeked out over the glow of the stage projection screens and old-school concession advertisements, the Magic Beans strode onstage at 10 p.m. for a two-hour set, setting things off with their 2018 What In The World. Keyboardist Casey Russell sang the all-too-familiar lyrics feels like were living in a world gone wrong as the crowd got shook off the worlds stress and problems and grooved to some much-needed jams. After an Alibi run-through, the band welcomed Dynohunters Clark Smith for a saxophone sit-in onHerbie Hancocks Cantaloupe Island for a high-energy jazz break.

Some sweetness was had in an intro of Gene Wilders Pure Imagination that led into the bands Handshake Or Hug, even though neither were exchanged on-site. Guitarist Scott Hachey led the group to take the song into an extended trance jam, before tour manager Austin Koontz took over lead vocals for a cover of Gary Numans Cars as fans cheered and danced at their cars for the surprise vocal sit-in. The rest of the set ended with Luck and Wanna Be Your Lover before the band closed with their Inventor, adding in a Star Wars Force Theme jam to the song as Comet NEOWISE flew over the sky.

After a relatively-less hot Saturday afternoon to re-energize, Saturday night kicked off with an hour-long set by Denver-based producer Homemade Spaceship at 6:30 p.m. Multi-instrumentalist Rob Levere held down the stage with his genre-mashing bass drops, including CloZee and Queen remixes. SunSquabi & Friends played their second and final set of the weekend at 8 p.m., sending out electro-grooves in-sync with the shooting lasers and fireworks off in the distance.

Magic Beans got freaky one more time for their last performance of the summer at 10 p.m., setting off the night with Lost & Found. The group was well warmed up from last nights show, and transitioned into their Feed The Beast, which featured a Beverly Hills Cop jam for some 80s, old-school techno jams. Sucka Blues came up next in the setlist rotation, followed by The Rolling Stones Dead Flowers and Magic Beans original Whos Crazy.The Magic Beans took the song into space territory with sequencing jam themes of Jurassic Park,Star Wars, and Top Gunmelody snippets, throwing in a quick tease of Andrea Bocellis Con Te Partir to finish it off.

The band continued the second half of the set with their slowed-down sultry Dr. Bubbleman featuringa sit-in by SunSquabis Kevin Donohue, and kept up the fun covers with an appearance ofCeline Dions My Heart Will Go On that lovingly led the band into Do Your Thing. Hachey closed out the night with a celebratory banter, and how the time in quarantine has been used to take a step back and learn more about yourself and those around you to better the world, as a feel-good Off Leash sequence rounded out the bands set. A reappearance of the ending bit of Lost & Found was squeezed in the middle of the light-weight dance jam to have fans leave the weekend with a positive spirit and energy to carry until live music is able to safely return again.
