CDN IPv6: Why Your CDN should have IPv6

1 Star2 Stars3 Stars4 Stars5 Stars (36 votes, average: 5.00 out of 5)

IPv6 is a topic coming up more often nowadays, and rightfully so. By 2020, the number of connected devices worldwide is expected to reach 50 billion. Every car, house, and person will be connected on a global scale. To achieve this smart, interconnected vision of future, we need an infrastructure capable of supporting billions of devices and enormous quantities of data. IPv6, the most recent version of the Internet Protocol, represents the modern Internet that will shape how we interact with one another and conduct business in the upcoming years.

CDN Ipv6

What is IPv6 and Why is it Important?

Even though IPv4 is the fourth version of the Internet Protocol, it was the first version adopted on a massive scale, provisioning around 4 billion unique addresses. The problem is that the ARIN region, which includes the United States, Canada, and countries in the Central America, has already run out of available IPv4 addresses, and Africa is expected to exhaust its allotment by 2018, according to Cisco, a global leader in telecommunications equipment.

Without available IP addresses, data has to be transferred through constrained Carrier-Grade NATs, which are really just a temporary relief for a much larger underlying problem. Not only do carrier-grade NATs breaks the end-to-end principle, but they also introduce significant security risks, and make record-keeping for law-enforcement operations more difficult.

The good news is that the adoption of IPv6 is steadily rising. IPv6 currently accounts for nearly 14% of total Internet traffic, and that number is expected to grow to over 34% by 2020. Furthermore, 90% of smartphones and tablets will be IPv6-capable by 2020, up from 60 percent in 2015. You can clearly see the increase in IPv6 adoption when you take a look at Google’s own statistics, which measure the availability of IPv6 connectivity among Google users.

So, how does IPv6 tie into your global content delivery strategy, whether it be your website/app assets (js, css, html), images/photos, or video streaming (VOD, OTT/IPTV), and what does all this mean for you?

Why your Content Delivery Network (CDN) should be IPv6-capable

1. IPv6 Mobile Benefits

2. IPv4 Mobile Exhaustion Strategies

3. IPv4 Wired Exhaustion Strategies

4. IPv6 Security Benefits

5. Quality of Service (QoS) Benefits of IPv6

Below are 5 reasons why you should be paying more attention to IPv6, and why your next Content Delivery Network (CDN) should be IPv6-capable:

1. IPv6 Mobile Benefits

According to the Mobile Traffic Q1 2016 report from Ericsson, a multinational networking & telecommunications equipment and services company headquartered in Sweden, “Total mobile data traffic is expected to rise at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 45 percent.”

This rise is caused by the ever-increasing number of smartphones and GSM-capable smart devices. As people start to embrace the Internet of Things on a massive scale, the growth rate of mobile data traffic will skyrocket. It’s no surprise that mobile carriers are pushing for the adoption of IPv6, a technology that would allow them to easily accommodate users with multiple devices and provide them with fast, stable internet connection.

In the USA, T-Mobile’s IPv6 traffic exceeded 53 percent, and over 66 percent of connections from Verizon went over IPv6, reports PCWorld in their article about IPv6.

And it’s not just a game of numbers either. Those connected through IPv6 experience a tangible performance boost. According to Facebook, mobile devices using IPv6 load the News Feed 20 percent to 40 percent faster than devices that connect through IPv4. The performance benefits can increase even further if you factor in the boost provided by a well-optimized Content Delivery Network (CDN).

2. IPv4 Mobile Exhaustion Strategies

With available IPv4 addresses becoming scarce or completely non-existent, providers are forced to adapt by implementing various band-aid technologies, including DNS64/NAT64 and 464XLAT. Such technologies essentially serve as translators, allowing communication between IPv6 and IPv4 hosts. Consequently, they introduce extra complexity to the network, resulting in additional latency and decreasing the overall service quality.

To implement these transitional technologies, carriers are forced to invest large sums of money in equipment that basically serves as a life-support for the dying IPv4 technology. Consequently, managers and CFOs look for ways how to reduce expenses, which is usually done by cutting corners and privately disclosing that they operate these services in a “good enough to not get too many complaints” manner.

By contrast, IPv6 connections from IPv6-enabled handsets in IPv6-enabled networks to an IPv6-enabled CDN never involve these kinds of translation layers, resulting in superior performance.

3. IPv4 Wired Exhaustion Strategies

Similar to the situation with mobile data growth described above, the inevitable growth in subscribers and the desire to no longer maintain a dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 network will eventually lead wired network providers to also transition their IPv4 network connections to pure IPv6 networks.

Maintaining both technologies side-by-side will seem like an unreasonable investment, given that the Internet of the future is clearly powered by IPv6 and backed by Content Delivery Networks running on the same protocol.

4. IPv6 Security Benefits

With IPsec as a major protocol requirement, end-to-end security is built into the core of IPv6. IPsec is a protocol suite for secure communications that works by authenticating and encrypting each IP packet of a communication session using cryptographic protocols such as Authentication Header (AH) protocol, Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) protocol, and Internet Key Exchange (IKE) protocol. “The specific information associated with each of these services is inserted into the packet in a header that follows the IP packet header. Separate key protocols can be selected, such as the ISAKMP/Oakley protocol,” says TechTarget on the technical aspect of the technology.

5. Quality of Service (QoS) Benefits of IPv6

According to Cisco, “Achieving the required Quality of Service (QoS) by managing the delay, delay variation (jitter), bandwidth, and packet loss parameters on a network becomes the secret to a successful end-to-end business solution.”

The developers of the IPv6 protocol implemented quality of service markings as the core elements of their network layer protocol. The IPv6 header has two QoS-related fields: the 20-bit Flow label, which is used by a node to label packets of a flow, and the 8-bit Traffic Class indicator, which is usable in DiffServ-based environments.

Today, the need for QoS is higher than ever, due to the increase of voice over IP (VoIP) communications, proliferation of mobile workforce, and always-on computing that serves as the foundation for many aspects of our personal and business lives.

IPv6 is the Future of the Internet

Those looking to stay ahead of the curve and participate in the early adoption of technology that’s shaping the Internet of days to come will want to have their websites & apps IPv6-capable. One of the quickest and easiest ways to do this is via CDN IPv6.

Services like BelugaCDN, a high-performance dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 Content Delivery Network, automatically assign customers both A (IPv4) and AAAA (IPv6) records, allowing content to be served to IPv6-enabled devices over an IPv6 network.

With enterprise features for SSL/TLS and Video — suitable for online media publishers, advertising platforms, video streaming and IPTV/OTT providers — BelugaCDN offers its users an edge over their competition.

With a pay-as-you-go billing model and only 1¢ per Gigabyte transferred (with discounts available for volumes above 1 PB/month), customers are guaranteed the best blend of price and performance.

FreestoreFoodbank and the Bengals Team Up

Collecting donations and food for the hungry prior to the Bengals vs. Steelers game this Sunday.

The FreestoreFoodbank and the Cincinnati Bengals are teaming up again for the Annual Holiday Canned Food Drive. Canned foods and monetary donations will be collected at Paul Brown Stadium Sunday November 21, prior to the Bengals home game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Non-perishable foods and cash donations will be accepted at the entrance to Paul Brown Stadium by FreestoreFoodbank volunteers.

The Cincinnati Bengals have hosted the FreestoreFoodbank Holiday Canned Food Drive for more than 25 years. This year is especially important, since the FreestoreFoodbank is expecting to feed more than 5,000 families over the Holidays.

Last year the Bengals Canned Food Drive helped a record number of families with over 19,000 meals provided and nearly $4,000 in cash donations collected. The Bengals and the FreestoreFoodbank hope to surpass last year's collection.

The FreestoreFoodbank operates the largest food pantry in Hamilton County. Founded in 1971, the agency serves close to 250,000 needy people each year in 20 counties in Southern Ohio, Northern Kentucky, and Southeastern Indiana. The FreestoreFoodbank channels 12 million pounds of food and products to more than 500 non-profit member agencies which in turn distributes into the homes of those who are most in need.

Bengals fans are reminded that every contribution makes a difference for the tri-state families in need, so please show your support this holiday season, and bring canned goods or a donation to the Bengals/Steelers game Sunday November 21.

Photo sourced from Good People/Bad Habits

Lansdowne Hotel, August 2

It’s not an easy line as a band in thrall to Black Sabbath and linear descendants such as Mudhoney to walk between sludge and dirge.

Admittedly, for some yet to be convinced by the style, not only do neither sound appealing, there is no difference: it’s heavy, it’s thick, it’s predicated on power more than melody, and can feel like you’re being slowly sucked into a quagmire of infinite length but precious little depth.

But done well - and this night showed again that the Findlay siblings of Stonefield can do it very well – that thick wall of sound can be an exhilarating as well as enveloping experience.

They layer coats of instrumentation, of which the voice is merely primus inter pares, and slowly revolve with a kind of centrifugal force that pulls you in their wake at first and then, before you realise it, making you part of the thickening, sludgy environment. You’re not sinking; you’re swimming in it!

Photo sourced from Good People/Bad Habits

With drummer/vocalist Amy Findlay’s voice less prominent in the mix than on record, sometimes being left more shouty than does her justice, you might expect guitarist Hannah to be the dominant figure (something which would be a given in virtually any all male/all ego lineup).

But mostly she prefers to carve out a space in that sonic wall, at times virtually as part of the rhythm section with bassplayer Holly. When she does step out in front, Hannah’s style is spare and focused, allowing her to make a point and retreat to the shared space.

It’s Sarah’s keyboards which often take the melodic lead, especially in bringing the strong edge of psychedelia that regularly surfaces and turns Stonefield from dark, satanic mills to swirling, swinging lava lamp parties. Likewise, while she doesn’t have the strength or flexibility of Amy’s voice, her singing, in support or in occasional lead, is the kind of colour that lifts the band further away from dirges.

In a live context, the relative weakness of Stonefield’s tunes compared with their drive, power and trippy swing, does stand out more. But there are compensatory factors, including the not-to-be-sneezed-at chance to plant your feet, rock your body and swing your (imagined or otherwise) long hair back and forth like this was 1972.

Have enough space in your worship room

Choose the right color-themed

Choosing a Rainbow and multicolor theme for Pooja or worship place makes it awkward. So, try to keep it in a single or dual color. Usually white and golden looks ideal for Pooja room.

Window in the Room

If you think, the window is not a necessary party in the overall structure of your home, then DUDE, you are totally wrong.

Maybe it is or maybe it is not. It all depends on the space you have in your home’s corner. But I personally recommend you to keep your Pooja room in not too corner in your home.

Keep it Away from Baths

You easily found many people’s Pooja room just near their baths, which is seriously doesn’t make any sense. So, keep in mind, try to keep your Pooja structure away from your baths.

Spreads Fragrance every Day

The fragrance is the best solution to bring new charm in the room. Believe me, spreading fragrance makes your decoration more effective. And the best thing is that you not need to do any hard work for it, you can use automatic perfume sprinkler for this purpose.

Right Furniture at right place

It doesn’t make any sense if you place a pair of tables and chairs in your baths, right? Just like it. You do not need to put any extra furniture in your Pooja room if you don’t wait to make it look like your living room.

Avoid using colored mouthwashes. These mouthwashes might freshen your breath, but they will probably stain your teeth in the process. Alcohol is an ingredient in most, and that can harm your tongue and gums and can be absorbed into your bloodstream.

TIP! You protect your teeth by brushing them. You may as well take it a step further, and start using a toothpaste that whitens your teeth.

It also can cause sensitive and more susceptible to staining.

Talk to your dentist about the healthiest ways to whiten your teeth before buying anything. Your dentist will know what the best options are out there, and he or she will also be able to tell you about the side effects associated with certain systems for teeth whitening.

TIP! Make a habit of flossing your teeth. Flossing aids in removing plaque, which causes discoloration issues with your teeth.

If your mouth starts hurting, immediately stop whitening. If you experience sensitivity while using whitening products, you must immediately discontinue use of the offending product until you can discuss the matter with a dentist.

For whiter teeth, do not drink tea or coffee. These drinks discolor teeth. If you were to drink coffee, make sure you rinse your mouth out immediately after you are done. This can help slow down any negative effects these drinks have on your teeth.

TIP! Try not to eat citrus fruits if you want your teeth to look whiter. In addition, avoid the juice of citrus fruits.

Talk to a tooth whitening process. Do not whiten your teeth after getting checked for cavities or any dental work.

You should grind dry bay leaves and orange peels into a powder. Add water to this powder and brush with this mixture. Doing this will also help prevent gum disease and cavities.

TIP! Use walnut tree bark to whiten your teeth. Take a small bit of the bark and rub it on your teeth.

Use hydrogen peroxide to whiten your teeth. You can do this simply by dipping a washcloth or any cotton material dipped into the solution. Rub the wet cloth over the areas of your teeth on a regular basis. The peroxide helps lighten stains and the wash cloth will act as a scrubber.

Some natural remedies will help whiten teeth, such as apple cider vinegar. This method helps eliminate bacteria and stains in your mouth, as it cleanses your teeth in the process. Gargle once a day, generally in the morning, with the apple cider vinegar, and follow it up by brushing your teeth.

TIP! Brush your teeth with salt. Salt is a remedy that is natural and can help get rid of the stains on your teeth.

Chase stain-causing drinks with water. A glass of water rinse prevents the stain causing drink from setting. Another idea is to use a straw when drinking dark-colored drinks.

Brush your teeth with a banana peel. This process is very simple and inexpensive, so you can implement it into your daily routine. Once you’ve peeled the banana, run the peel over your teeth just before you brush them. After doing this, brush your teeth as you normally would. This will give you immediate whitening results.

Orange Peel

Use an orange peel’s soft side to get rid of stains and make your teeth. You can also mix dried orange peel with finely ground bay leaves to make a paste for your teeth. Make sure to rinse your mouth thoroughly afterwords to remove all the fruit sugar.

Don’t listen to any toothpaste that claim they’ll give you whiter teeth. They may give you a slight whitening effect, but realize that additional techniques are probably necessary. If you still choose to use a whitening toothpaste, make sure to get one that has baking soda in it.

Ask your dentist to provide you with a gel can be utilized at home to help whiten your teeth look whiter. This technique can make your teeth by up to eight shades!

If you are trying to get whiter teeth, go to the dentist to have them cleaned as often as you can. Regular dental cleanings are one of the most effective methods you can include in your whitening of the teeth regimen. You need to visit your dentist for cleanings at least every six months.

You need to ensure you have the right toothbrush to properly brush your teeth type. An electric toothbrush is particularly good at removing plaque and stains accumulated on your teeth every day. This will have your teeth naturally cleaner and whiter.

You should clean and whiten your teeth if you follow a daily basis with toothpaste and flossing. Choose products that contain baking soda as a natural whitening ingredient as it’s highly effective at removing stains.

You can keep your teeth whiter by using a straw after any whitening procedure.Drinks with high levels of color pigments that can stain your teeth. Using the straw will prevent front teeth from having direct contact with staining chemicals.

Eat healthful foods that are crunchy. The abrasiveness of crunchy foods add cleaning power to your teeth when you chew them. Bite them whole, do not cut them up!

Make yourself a strawberry paste for brushing teeth. Strawberries have long been reputed to whiten your teeth. To mix up some paste for yourself, you will need 1/4 cup water, baking soda (1/2 cup) and three strawberries that have been mashed.

Quit Smoking

Don’t smoke cigars or cigarettes. Both of these have been proven to discolor your teeth to get discolored. Try to quit smoking to keep your teeth from turning yellow. If you are struggling to quit smoking, consult with your physician for suggestions or medications to assist you in the process. You need lots of positive support and solid advice.

Nowadays, you really have no excuse for putting up with a yellow smile. You can get a brighter smile by using one of the many whitening teeth products designed for home use. The whitening kits you can use at home are much less expensive than whitening of the teeth procedures, and they basically give you the same result.

  • The son and successor of Jotham, king of Judah ( 2 Kings 16 ; Isaiah 79 -9; 2 Chr. 28 ). He gave himself up to a life of wickedness and idolatry. Notwithstanding the remonstrances and warnings of Isaiah, Hosea, and Micah, he appealed for help against Rezin, king of Damascus, and Pekah, king of Israel, who threatened Jerusalem, to Tiglath-pileser, the king of Assyria, to the great injury of his kingdom and his own humilating subjection to the Assyrians ( 2 Kings 16:7 2 Kings 16:9 ; 15:29 ). He also introduced among his people many heathen and idolatrous customs ( Isaiah 8:19 ; 38:8 ; 2 Kings 23:12 ). He died at the age of thirty-five years, after reigning sixteen years (B.C. 740-724), and was succeeded by his son Hezekiah.

SYMIN website goes live

GAF AG, together with the Institute for Environmental Security (IES), the Bonn International Center for Conversion (BICC) and the German Aerospace Center (DLR) are pleased to announce the launch of the SYMIN Project's new website. The website aims to showcase how Earth Observation (EO) can assist mining authorities with the regulation of informal mining activities through the detection of informal mining sites

SYMIN Project

The SYMIN Project focuses specifically on five pilot areas in Afghanistan which are rich in coal, gold, gemstones as well as quarries. It is demonstrated that satellite-based remote sensing can be an efficient tool for area-wide mapping and monitoring of informal mining activities in remote, poorly accessible or security sensitive areas.

Based on very high resolution (VHR) optical images data, stereo data and radar-based coherence analysis, together with other geo-data such as mining cadastre information, our team is able to extract information such as the location and description of mining activities as well as the presence of infrastructure.

This information is then used to create up-to-date reconnaissance maps and dossiers with a description of current mining activities in order to facilitate the work of in-situ mines inspectors.

Dr. Stefan Saradeth - GAF Director of International Consulting - comments: "GAF offers globally a comprehensive service package to mining authorities - this includes capacity building and consulting, training and know-how transfer up to geoinformation- and software solutions.  SYMIN combined with our new mobile GIS offers exciting new options for mining inspectors."

It is hoped that the SYMIN website will contribute to raising awareness on the possibilities offered by satellite-based remote sensing for the detection and monitoring of informal mining activities aimed at law enforcement agencies dealing with remote and sensitive areas throughout the world.

Alonso cites fictional coach, unhappy with Mets change

National Sports

FILE – In this Monday, Feb. 25, 2019, file photo, New York Mets hitting coach Chili Davis watches from the top of the dugout steps during the fifth inning of an exhibition spring training baseball game against the Houston Astros in West Palm Beach, Fla. Late Monday, May 3, 2021, the Mets fired Davis and assistant hitting coach Tom Slater. (AP Photo/Jeff Roberson, File)

NEW YORK (AP) — Pete Alonso and Francisco Lindor learned from phone messages that the New York Mets had fired hitting coach Chili Davis and assistant Tom Slater, a move that left players unhappy.

New York made the announcement late Monday night, two days after Alonso started to publicly mention the positive assistance of a new batting instructor — someone who, apparently, is fictional.

“I found out on Twitter while I was eating my postgame meal,” Alonso said, explaining he then talked to acting general manager Zack Scott and gave Davis and Slater hugs. “And then I cried at my locker a little bit.”

The slugging first baseman referred to the dismissed coaches as “Uncle Chili and Uncle Slate, I mean, they’re like family to us.”

“It really caught us all off guard,” Alonso said. “It’s confusing for me, and, listen, I respect everybody who made that decision. But to me, it just doesn’t make sense right now.”

“But I know that the guys coming up, guys coming in have great minds, they’re great people. And I know that people who were in charge in the office know that they want to win, everybody wants to win. But I guess from a results standpoint, from let’s say 2, 2 1/2 years, the results have been there and so to me it still doesn’t make sense,” he said.

Hugh Quattlebaum, the team’s minor league director of hitting development, was promoted to big league hitting coach. Kevin Howard, who was director of player development, was appointed the assistant hitting coach.

Scott was hired by team president Sandy Alderson after new owner Steven Cohen bought the Mets last fall.

Manager Luis Rojas said the coaching changes were an “organization decision … that’s the best way I can share it right now.”

He said he was not concerned a manager change could be coming.

“Those are types of things that I do not think about just because in my field, it’s just very disrespectful to the group here to be worrying about that before worrying about the team,” Rojas said.

The sudden moves, uncommon for this early in a season, were announced after a 6-5 loss at St. Louis.

“It broke my heart. I was sad,” Lindor said. “It hurt me a little bit.”

While the Mets began Tuesday ranked ninth among the 30 teams with a .240 batting average, they were last in runs with 76 and homers with 18. Their .209 batting average with runners in scoring position was 29th and they were dead last with a .143 average with two outs and runners in scoring position.

After Saturday night’s 5-4 win at Philadelphia, Alonso made a curious reference to the contributions of a new coach.

“We just made a nice, new hire: Donnie,” Alonso said then. “He’s a great hitting/slash approach coach. Donnie’s been great helping the team. I think Luis forget to mention Donnie. Donnie really helped us today, too.”

Asked to explain further, Alonso said: “He’s a new hire. He’s our like mental-slash-approach coach. I feel like we had a really cool collective like team approach today, and Donnie helped us out, for sure.”

Pushed for Donnie’s last name, Alonso said: “I’ve got to ask that, I’ve got to ask Chili — oh, Stevenson, I think that’s it.”

Following Alonso to the interview chair, Michael Conforto smiled when asked.

“Donnie’s a new guy. He made an appearance today at our hitters’ meeting. He’s all about the approach,” Conforto said. “He’s a hitting approach guy. He’s a guy that just gets the boys fired up and ready to go.”

Alonso brought up the mystery man again after Sunday night’s 8-7 victory.

“He had some guys in the cage and we were just focusing on ripping heaters,” Alonso said. “And that’s what we did today. We were focused on ripping the fastball around the yard and ripping the heater today was the main focus. We put a lot of runs on the board and we were really locked in. He had some really good words of advice and, yeah, I mean, it’s awesome.”

Asked Tuesday about whether his references to a different hitting coach didn’t help Davis’ situation, Alonso replied: “I’m not going to talk about that.”

Scott also refused to address the mysterious coach, Mr. Stevenson.

“You’d have to ask the players about Donnie,” he said Monday night.

Cohen did chime in on the players’ imaginary helper.

“I love Donnie,” he tweeted. “A major resource to the team and pretty cheap, too.”

Davis didn’t blame Alonso’s and Conforto’s comments for his departure.

“The players were having fun and I know they didn’t mean any harm,” Davis was quoted as saying by the New York Post. “It was a fun time for them, but it probably didn’t help. People were just trying to loosen up as a group and it worked that night. They went out and put some runs on the board. I am all for them enjoying the game.”

Mets staff held a meeting with players before Tuesday’s rainout against the Cardinals, a session that didn’t seem to change any perceptions.

“It’s an explanation that still doesn’t make sense to me right now,” Alonso said.

Lindor, a four-time All-Star, began Tuesday with a .163 average, 151st among 155 qualified batters. He learned of the firings from a text while walking to the team bus.

“Maybe if I would have been hitting a little bit more, maybe he had a job. I don’t know,” Lindor said.

Alonso said teams should not overly rely on analytics, calling himself an “old school-type player.”

“As times keep going on, the game stays the same. I mean, the game has been the same since the Civil War,” he said. “When it’s game time, when it’s my turn to hit in the box, it’s not Luis, its not Chili, it’s not the analytic department that’s in the box hitting. It’s Pete Alonso. It’s me. And that’s the same thing with every single one of those guys in the clubhouse.”

“You’ve got 13 hitters and all those guys, as soon as they step in the box, you might as well take the computer and break the screen, because any time you think about all those numbers in the computer, if you’re in there in that box and thinking, oh, it’s a 2-0 count, he’s 45% changeup, he’s 30% fastball and it’s a certain percent slider, you’re out, you’re a walking out, you’re an out in a helmet,” he said.

Knicks extend winning streak to 9, beat Raptors 120-103

National Sports

NEW YORK (AP) — The last time the New York Knicks had a winning streak this long was also their last playoff appearance.

They might be surging toward another one.

Julius Randle had 31 points and 10 rebounds, RJ Barrett added 25 points and 12 boards, and the Knicks beat the Toronto Raptors 120-103 on Saturday for their ninth straight victory.

Derrick Rose scored 19 points for the Knicks, who are on their longest winning streak since a 13-game run late in the 2012-13 season, when they won the Atlantic Division title.

“We’re peaking but we can still get a lot better,” Randle said. “Obviously offensively we’re playing well, but defensively for a full 48 minutes I feel like we can be a lot better.”

The Knicks have moved into fourth place in the Eastern Conference with 11 games remaining and improved to 21-10 at home, where an announced crowd of 1,981 fans sounded louder at a time of year when basketball season is usually over at Madison Square Garden.

“Since the fans have been back it’s been amazing winning here,” Barrett said. “They give us such a boost and we’re really playing hard together because we want to make them proud.”

Randle, coming off a 40-point performance Wednesday against Atlanta, had 20 more by halftime Saturday. The Knicks then broke open a close game while he was on the bench to start the fourth quarter and Barrett made the big shots down the stretch to turn away his hometown team.

“That’s the best part about our team,” Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau said. “Julius is our engine but we have a lot of guys stepping up.”

Fred VanVleet and OG Anunoby each scored 27 points for the Raptors, who were trying for a season-high fifth straight victory. The entered the day tied for 11th, a game behind surging Washington for the final play-in position in the East.

There were 14 lead changes in the first three quarters and neither team led by more than nine, before the Knicks opened the fourth with a big burst.

Obi Toppin hit a pair of 3-pointers during that 14-3 spurt, with the second making it 102-86 with 9:13 remaining.

Toronto never really got close and the Knicks won the season series for the first time since 2010-11.

The Knicks finished at 56% from the field, 51.6% from 3-point range and 83.3% from the foul line.

“It was weird. I told the team in the locker room, I said, ‘We really executed things pretty well,’ and then it didn’t work out,” Raptors coach Nick Nurse said. “I guess it was just, again, they made them, we didn’t make them.”

The Knicks shot 61% in the first half and opened their biggest lead at 55-46 when Reggie Bullock made his third straight 3-pointer. They led 64-59 at halftime.

Pascal Siakam had 26 points for the Raptors but Kyle Lowry was 1 for 10, missing all eight 3-pointers.

Raptors: Chris Boucher missed first game after spraining the MCL in his left knee on Wednesday, an injury that will keep him out at least a week. He had been the only Raptors player to appear in all 59 games. … Rodney Hood (right hip) missed his second straight game. He warmed up before the game before it was determined he wouldn’t play.

Knicks: Bullock scored 16 points.

With Stephen Curry rolling for Golden State and Russell Westbrook and Bradley Beal carrying Washington to seven straight wins, there’s a couple teams that look dangerous if they hold onto places in the play-in tournaments.

Then there’s the Raptors, who don’t have that kind of individual talent. But they finally got the core of their team — VanVleet, Siakam, Anunoby and Lowry — back together Wednesday against Brooklyn for the first time since March 29, giving Nurse the belief the 2019 NBA champions might be capable of making noise from the bottom if they keep improving.

“The other night was our first step kind of back and we did show some flashes at the end that we’re not hat far away,” Nurse said. “But I think we’re going to need to grow in these next 12 games and if we do, then I think we’re hard to beat.”

Raptors: Host Cleveland on Monday.

Knicks: Host Phoenix on Monday.

Big Rapids sophomore set for outstanding season at catcher, infielder

Cornell, Cardinal teammates off to 11-2 start

Photo of John Raffel

BIG RAPIDS – Big Rapids’ softball team is off to an 11-2 start and eager to pick up more wins as it gets ready for a key CSAA doubleheader Friday at Central Montcalm.

Josie Cornell has been among the Cardinals having a strong early part of the season.

She’s a sophomore, but missed her freshman year because of COVID. But she was able to play during the offseason with Elite out of Grand Rapids.

“We had tournaments almost every weekend,” she said. “It went pretty good.”

Cornell has gotten off a good start for the red-hot Cardinals. She’s a catcher and shortstop for Big Rapids.

“At catcher, I have a pretty good arm,” she said, adding her glove has been effective at shortstop.

Cornell is also confident with her hitting abilities for the Cardinals.

“Your mentality is very important,” Cornell said of her challenges at the plate. “You have to be having a positive mental attitude.”

Her discipline at the plate has been good, Cornell indicated.

There’s still lots of softball to be played, but Cornell likes her team’s potential.

“I think we should be pretty good and go somewhat far,” she said.

Cornell focuses on softball.

“I never have really liked other sports as much as I like softball,” she said, adding she’s been playing it for a long time and continues to spend a lot of hours in the offseason.

Not having had a spring season last year, “hasn’t had too much of an impact because I’ve been able to play a lot of summer ball,” Cornell said.

During the winter Cornell pointed out how much softball work she has been doing.

“I’ve been working at home and going to lessons,” she said. “I’ve been throwing some times.

“It helps being able to go to lessons at an indoor facility,” she said. “I can keep up with hitting and stuff.”

Dynamic Variation Changes

Dr Juergen Ude Dr Juergen Ude

Although step changes in the standard deviation are the least popular, they should be of equal importance to other charts and in some instances even more important. In manufacturing standard deviation affects process capability and thus non-conformance. For health the average blood pressure alone is insufficient to make medication decisions. A sudden increase in standard deviation can indicate extreme fluctuation in stress levels and may require alternative treatment to medication.

Increases in standard deviations can be reflected in increases of the mean, if lower values are bounded. For weights and measures control, depending on the legislation, increases in standard deviation due to a faulty filling process will require increasing ‘give-away’ to ensure weights and measures legislation is met.

Shewhart chart demonstrating the issues with spc theory Change Analysis - Step Changes in the Standard Deviation

Standard deviations for Sd SPC charts are the subgroup standard deviations if sub groups are greater than one. If the subgroups are equal to one, moving standard deviations are computed. For Change Analysis of Standard Deviation, the calculations are similar, but for subgroup size equal to one requires first removing changes in the process mean, as these would inflate the moving standard deviations.

There is no formula to perform change analysis. Instead statistically based machine powered algorithms are used.

MasterChef on FOX: Bite and Booze Style

So by now I'm sure you've heard that I am one of the "Top 100 Amateur Chefs in America" competing for the title of MasterChef on Season 2 of FOX's hit reality show.  Indeed, that is true.  I had the opportunity to go out to Los Angeles and film the show with celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay as well as the other judges Chef Graham Elliot and Restaurateur Joe Bastianich.  Here I am on the set of MasterChef, preparing my signature dish for the judges:

Jay Ducote prepares his rack of venison on the FOX reality TV Show MasterChef
My signature dish featured a fresh herb roasted rack of venison with a Cajun shrimp and cornbread stuffed bell pepper.  I finished it off with a bourbon cream sauce because, well, I wouldn't be Bite and Booze without cooking with some sort of alcohol!

I'll post more about my MasterChef experience as well as the full recipe for my dish at another time!

Below is a video about Season 2 of MasterChef on FOX.  If you pause the video you can see me at two different points.  My face sticks out above the crowd at 0:27, and you can see my back very well at 1:30.

Needless to say, I am very excited to watch the show.  The whole journey was incredible and it is going to be fun to see how they edit all the footage they got and turn it into a television program.  Tune in to FOX on June 6th at 7 PM CT to see how I do.  If you don't see me then, the second episode airs the following day, June 7th.  The show will continue with the first round on Monday, June 13th and will move to the elimination rounds on Tuesday, June 14th.

Feature Beer Friday: Mikkeller Beer Geek Breakfast Brunch Big Blend

By Eric Ducote

Good morning everyone!  Today's Feature Beer is the perfect option for a morning beer, the Beer Geek Brunch Big Blend from Mikkeller.  The name is a mashup of the two founders' names, Mikkel Borg Bjergsø, and Kristian Klarup Keller, who started as homebrewers in Denmark before launching Mikkeller and becoming one of the pioneers of gypsy brewing.  Gypsy brewing is a concept where the brewing company doesn't own a physical brewery, but instead uses other breweries for production when space is available and also collaborating with various breweries.

Mikkeller's first huge beer hit was Beer Geek Breakfast which was an imperial stout with coffee that has been brewed many times since, but most of their beers are one-off special releases and variants.  Since starting the Mikkeller brand has established new locations worldwide, primarily bars but some like in New York City have brewing facilities attached.  This particular beer is one that I found locally at Robert Fresh Market on Highland Rd., the Beer Geek Breakfast Brunch Big Blend.  The original Beer Geek Brunch was also an imperial oatmeal stout with even more expensive coffee, but this one is a special version that's blended from six different aging barrels.  It's a combination of beer aged in bourbon, cherry wine, cognac, tequila, brandy, and whiskey.  I know, bourbon IS whiskey, but I don't know exactly what type the second one is, but I'm guessing that it's a scotch as they released a version of Beer Geek Brunch that was labeled as "Islay Edition" and a version of Beer Geek Breakfast labeled as a "Speyside Edition" so maybe they just got the spelling of whisky associated with scotch wrong?  Enough wondering though, how's the beer?

Mikkeller Beer Geek Breakfast Brunch Big Blend

As you can see, the head is massive on this one, with an excess of carbonation.  Other reviewers had the same issue, so this isn't just a localized storage problem, but a full batch problem.  Hopefully though, it's not infected and the flavors are still intact.  Past that, the beer itself is a rich dark brown as expected from this 8% stout.  The nose is rich, with all the various barrel agings coming through but none as strong as the coffee from the base beer.  The bourbon is probably the strongest barrel on the aroma, but there's also a definite fruitiness from the cognac, brandy, and wine.  On the taste there's a hint of tequila, but it's the least present barrel flavor, and again the coffee and bourbon are coming through the strongest.

All in all, a very interesting beer, but if anything there is too much going on.  It's absolutely worth a try, but be ready for some heavy carbonation and a multi-pronged assault on the taste buds.  Cheers!

Wakey Whiskey: Jameson Caskmates Stout Edition Irish Whiskey

By Eric Ducote

Good morning Tiger fans!  If I was a superstitious fan I'd be going straight back to some JPS 21-Year Rye after LSU laid the smack down on #2 UGA last week, but I'm not superstitious and I don't really believe that my whiskey choices have any impact on a football game.  That said, it's always been a fun tradition that started in my tailgating days to start off a big day with a wakey whiskey.  That tradition has evolved past tailgating into all game days, and even birthdays, holidays, weddings, and other special events.  If it's a cause for celebration, it's a cause for some wakey whiskey!

With that noted, I'm of course going to feature a new whiskey today, as you're here to read about the beverage and it would be boring to write about the same one every time LSU wins, right? There's only so much I could have said about the Roaming Man Tennessee Straight Rye whiskey that I started off the season with, and you would have had 5 weeks of that one!  So this week, an Irish Whiskey with a twist, the Jameson Caskmates Stout Edition.  This one starts out as a standard batch of Jameson Irish Whiskey, and then is aged further in barrels that were used to age an Irish craft-brewed stout.

Jameson Caskmates Stout Edition Irish Whiskey

The color is basically the same as regular Jameson, golden with hints of orange.   The nose is smooth, with hints of honeysuckle, mineral water, and a hint of fruit.  There's a minimal 'burn' on this whiskey, as it's triple distilled in the Irish tradition and bottled at 80 proof.  The result is an extremely smooth sipping whiskey, with a hint of chocolate malt notes on the taste combined with the fruit and honey flavors of the base whiskey.  It finishes easy with another little hint of chocolate.

Overall, I really enjoy this whiskey, although I don't know that I really get much 'stout' out of it.  I think it would have been even better with more time in those beer barrels, but I also feel like it's a lot harder to impart the beer flavors into a whiskey than it is to pull whiskey flavors into a beer.  I admire the creativity to mix up the process, and at a reasonable price around $30, it's not a bad buy.  I'm going to have to try the IPA edition next, as I feel like hop flavors might work even better.  Until then, cheers, and GEAUX TIGERS!

Feature Beer Friday: Crown Valley's Imperial Pumpkin Smash Stout

By Eric Ducote

Good morning everyone, it's finally starting to feel like Fall for more than a day at a time, and as everyone knows, Fall means pumpkin EVERYTHING.  Beer has never been an exception to this trend, as pumpkin beers have been popping up ever since craft beer started its renaissance.  Generally I'm not a huge fan of pumpkin beers, but most are lighter styles with bland pumpkin seasonings... not the case with this offering from Crown Valley.

Crown Valley Brewing & Distilling is located in rural southeast Missouri, in an area known primarily for wineries.  They produce a range of flagship beers and ciders, in addition to seasonal and high abv beers.  I very rarely see their flagship beers in our market, but occasionally spot the ciders and every year their Imperial Pumpkin Smash Stout hits shelves.  This beer is a high-abv imperial stout base, with 10.6% alcohol and 48 IBU.  It's loaded with rich dark malts and balanced out with some noble hops as well as Chinook which is known for a piney character.

Crown Valley's Imperial Pumpkin Smash

The beer (a fresh 2018 version) pours a dark chocolate color, as an imperial stout should, with a lighter than expected head but great retention.  The nose is a combination of bitter roasted coffee notes, sweeter chocolate malt notes, and an undeniable pumpkin flavor blended with the spices always associated with pumpkin desserts.  The taste is a beautiful follow through on the nose, with complex malt flavors that work extremely well with the pumpkin and spice.  My favorite thing about this beer is that it still tastes like an imperial stout with pumpkin on top rather than it tasting like I'm drinking a glass of pumpkin pie.

This remains one of my favorite pumpkin beers alongside the Saint Arnold Pumpkinator, and I'll almost certainly be buying some more before the season is over.  Cheers!

Wakey Whiskey: Jefferson's Presidential Select 21-Year Rye

By Eric Ducote

Good morning everyone and welcome back to Wakey Whiskey here at Bite And Booze.  Last week I broke out one of my "bigger" whiskeys in anticipation of a big matchup with Florida, and this week is an even bigger matchup with Georgia even if the loss last week takes off a smidge of luster.  The truth is, LSU's still almost as in control of their own destiny as possible, just without any more margin for error.  Now, I'm not booking my hotel rooms for the championship just yet, but it's still in play, right?

This week I'm sticking with the Jefferson's line of whiskey, but instead of the 21-year bourbon like I finished off last week, this is the 21-year rye.  There's something fun about drinking a whiskey that's old enough to drink, and I've always been a big fan of rye whiskeys in general, as I find that they tend to be a little more complex than one with a primarily corn grain bill.

Jefferson's Presidential Select 21-Year Rye

The pour is a dark brown with hints of red, a similar color (as expected) to the 21-year bourbon.  The nose has strong notes of caramel and licorice, with a bit of cinnamon spice.  It's sweet, with a bit of a burn for the 90.4 proof whiskey but the licorice is a bit surprising to me.  The taste is strong with oak, cinnamon, caramel, with the licorice fading and a hint of vanilla coming out.  There's a bit of a burn on the back end, but as a whole it's a very smooth drink of rye, that I like a little more than last week's bourbon.

Unfortunately this one, like last week's bourbon, is going to be almost impossible to find out in the wild, but the good news is that I still have some left, so if anyone wants to bring a few bottles over to share, I'll be happy to share some of this with you!

Cheers!  And GEAUX TIGERS!

Feature Beer Friday: St. Bernardus's Abt 12 Quad

By Eric Ducote

Good morning and welcome back to Feature Beer Friday!  I've been featuring a lot of local beers recently, which I'm not ashamed of at all because there are plenty worth featuring, but today I'm headed across the pond to Belgium.  Belgium has always been one of the world leaders when it comes to beer due to their distinctive Belgian-styled ales.  The small country is littered with small breweries (often associated with monasteries) putting out excellent beers.  Belgian ales were really one of my first introductions to the world past macro lagers, as even before the craft scene blew up in Louisiana these options were readily available. One excellent example of a non-Trappist Belgian brewery is St. Bernardus, known for a wide range of styles and their distinctive Witbier.  Today's offering though, is their Abt 12, one of their three "core" beers and the strongest of the bunch.

St. Bernardus Abt 12

This beer is a 10% abv Belgian-style Quad, which is sometimes referred to as a Belgian Dark Strong Ale.  Typically Belgian ales start at their enkel or "single" which is the lightest offering and usually drank by the monks themselves. After that is a dubbel which is a little stronger and darker, the tripel which is stronger still although typically lighter in color and more floral, and the quadrupel which is dark like the dubbel and even stronger.  The Abt 12 is one of the most popular and well regarded versions of the quadrupel style.

The beer pours a brown color reminiscent of a coca cola with a very bubbly off-white head. The aroma is fruity, dominated mostly by sweeter plum flavors but also some grape and a little bit of floral hoppiness.   It's extremely pleasing and inviting, and I can't wait to get in a sip.  The mouthfeel is a little thinner than I remember from my early days of beer appreciation, but the flavors are still full and complex, with some rock candy sweetness, fruity esters from the yeast, and a floral bitter balance from the hops.  This was a fresh bottle of Abt 12, but I'd imagine the sweet and fruity flavors would be enhanced with age while the hoppy notes fade.  This beer has earned a reputation as one of the best in the world, and it does not disappoint.

St. Bernardus Abt 12 should be pretty easy to find around Baton Rouge, either in a corked & caged 750 ml bottle, a 4-pack of 11.2 oz. bottles, or in a gift set along with the dubbel, tripel and a glass like you see pictured above.  I know it's "on trend" to fill the beer fridge with all hazy IPA these days, but here's an outstanding chance of pace.  Cheers!

Wakey Whiskey: Jefferson's Presidential Select 21-Year Bourbon

By Eric Ducote

Good morning everyone, and happy GAMEDAY to you all!  This afternoon the Fighting Tigers of LSU are taking on the hated Florida Gators, so I figured that called for stepping up my whiskey game a bit.  I've had this bottle of Jefferson's Presidential Select 21-year for quite some time, as it officially released on April 1, 2013.  Unfortunately I'm getting down to the very end, so I had to make sure I gave it the full wakey whiskey honors before my bottle is dry.

Jefferson's Presidential Select (named after Thomas Jefferson) is produced by Jefferson's Bourbon, which is owned by Castle Brands along with a few names you might recognize in the Irish Whiskey world like Knappogue Castle and Clontarf.  The first two editions of Presidential Select were the 17-year and the 18-year, but they were made from a wheated whiskey that was distilled at Stitzel-Weller of Pappy Van Winkle fame.  The Presidential Select 17-Year actually won the whiskeys of the world tournament that Jay and I hosted (along with James Lawson and Jeremy Spikes) back when we were producing the Raise A Glass radio show, and the 18-Year offering has been featured on Bite and Booze before in a Whiskey Wednesday post.  This 21-Year offering was not distilled by Stitzel-Weller though, and it has no wheat in the grain bill, so the flavor profile is definitely expected to be different.

Jefferson's Presidential Select 21-Year Bourbon

The pour is dark as a 21-Year bourbon should be, the barrels selected for this batch ranged from 21 to 24 years old, and that's a lot of time for that liquor to soak in and out of the wood and absorb that char and the flavors.  The nose is strong with oak notes, again to be expected from a 21-Year bourbon, but there are also notes of leather and a hint of citrus.  Mostly though, the oak and associated char flavors stand out.  The taste is smooth, the oakiness is still bold, and vanilla comes through as well, the citrus is still there in a very small amount creating a well rounded profile.

The finish is smooth as well, with minimal alcohol burn and a still dominant flavor of oak.  There's a subtle cinnamon spice throughout, perhaps some rye went into the grain bill in place of the wheat?  i don't think this is quite as impressive as the 17 and 18-Year batches, but it's still a magnificent bourbon.

With that said, Cheers!  And Geaux Tigers!

Feature Beer Friday: Parish's Pure Tropics IPA

By Eric Ducote

Good morning everyone and welcome to another Feature Beer Friday here at Bite and Booze.  This week I'm going to take a look at one of the recent hoppy releases from Parish Brewing out of Broussard, Louisiana.  Those that read this space regularly, and most of you in the South Louisiana area are certainly already familiar with Parish, so I'll dive right into the beer review!

Parish Brewing's Pure Tropics IPA

This particular beer is the Pure Tropics IPA.  It's a 7% abv brewed with an IPA base recipe then conditioned on mango, pineapple, and pink guava puree.  Sounds amazing to me!

The pour is effervescent, with a golden orange color that absolutely fits in with the NEIPA style and the tropical notes to the beer.  The aroma is a beautiful blend of hoppy flavors and tropical fruit, with the mango coming through strongest in my opinion, although I'm not all that familiar with the pink guava fruit.  Pineapple is a flavor that tends to dominate any drink, which is why it was always a key ingredient to the jungle juice back in my college days, but it's well blended here and doesn't take over the beer entirely.  Each sip is fantastic, with the hoppy citrus notes married with the fruit flavors in a harmonious relationship.

Parish has another great offering with this round of Pure Tropics, and I'm pretty sure there is still plenty to be found out and about in town, so if you see a 4-pack, buy with confidence.

Have you booked a venue in Helensburgh for your wedding and looking for a photographer to capture your special day? BK Photography’s images are natural, relaxed and creative. You can see some pictures from a small recent wedding below.

Shooting a wedding in Helensburgh is fantastic for a  photographer. With its amazing views of the Firth of Clyde as a full-time wedding photographer, I’m lucky to have this town so nearby. Like a lot of my wedding shot in Helensburgh, it was held at the Civic Centre. The building was built in 1903 but has since been renovated and the ceremony hall is big and bright. Outside you have panoramic views of the river which is great for photos. Likewise, the centre also boasts lovely doorways and brickwork that make nice backdrops for portraits. Inside the large stairwell is handy when the weather isn’t the best. Needless to say, we wedding photographers like that sort of thing.

Emma & Jamie was quite a small affair. They wanted a relaxed wedding with family. With this in mind, many of the photos that day were natural. However, they both wanted some formal pictures taken as well. In fact, most couples prefer a mixture of the two. Of course, I was happy to shoot both! For that reason, most of my clients are happy with my images and how I capture them on the day. Equally important is the experience I bring as a wedding photographer. For this reason, it’s important to understand what the couple wants. I am always happy to chat about your plans.

Finally, if you’re having a wedding booked in Helensburgh, and you want a friendly photographer to help make it a day to remember. Please get in touch by clicking HERE. It would be lovely to hear from you.
