Creating a roast profile...
isn't rocket science. There are some rules I subscribe to, but generally I approach each coffee with an open mind. Of course the coffee's origin, elevation, and the processing are all factors. But there is nothing like starting on Cropster with a blank slate and trying to find the key to unlocking a coffee's flavor potential.
The biggest reason I made this video is because when I began roasting (almost exactly a year ago today) I spent hours watching videos and researching roasting methods and techniques. Without a mentor starting out is tough. Outside of Mill City's Roaster School there really wasn't a full on roast-a-long with the profile itself being highlighted and explained.
So when I thought about what I wanted to post to celebrate my first year of roasting, I thought putting this video together would be a great way to share what I've learned. I also thought it would be a great way to open up a conversation with other roasters, or aspiring roasters to learn more about their ideas and techniques. I'm a firm believer that a rising tide, raises all boats. No secrets, we're all just trying to roast great coffee.

In Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen's original "Chicken Soup for the Soul," I am reminded of the short story titled "Another Check Mark On the List." This is a story about a 15-year-old boy named John who, on one rainy day, when it was too wet outside to play, he decided to write a list of goals. John continued writing until he had 127 goals. These goals included exploring the Nile River, climbing high mountain peaks around the world and learning 3 foreign languages. He also wanted to be featured in a Rose Bowl Parade and play several musical instruments.
Of the 127 goals that he listed over 60 years ago, John has achieved 108. If he lives to become 75 years old he will achieve 109 (he listed "live to see the 21st Century"). How did John achieve all of these goals? He wrote them down.
Step 1 Write It Down:
Write it down, write it down, and write it down!
Have you ever got to a point where you were going to write down a New Year's Resolution or some other goal you thought you wanted, only to find yourself procrastinate. One year later, did you need to achieve the same New Year's Resolution or goal? Why does this happen?
It happens because of that little voice inside of you that says, "I am not good enough or worthy enough to be in possession of the benefits derived from achieving my goal." "I have been programmed for failure."
I recently read a motivational quote that said: "If you can't write it down, you can't do it."
Let us think about that for a minute. Every day you may be compiling lists of things to do to run your household, perform your job, or plan your business trip or vacation. How many times do you really write down, exactly what you want out of life?
How many long term or short-term goals do you write down?
Now when thinking about what you want to achieve focus your attention on specific words and ideas relating to your goals. Give those words and ideas your complete attention as you write them down.
Did you ever write a letter, business report, or term paper and at times find your fingers flying across the keyboard?
Since written words are symbols of objects, ideas, or feelings, could the physical process of entering these words onto a page actually create a subconscious connection?
I believe it does. When you use language to communicate on paper, you need to process the information on a subconscious level.
The help you are getting while creating your list of goals is coming straight from your powerful subconscious mind. Why not take advantage of the power of your mind in achieving your goals?
Write your goals down in your day planner, write them down, and hang them on your walls. Write your goals on sticky notes and place them on your bathroom mirror or on your windows.
Every time you write your goals down, your body is moving towards them. The goals are getting clearer and clearer. The roadmap you create by writing goals down projects straight to your subconscious mind and is being acted upon.
A now popular syndicated cartoonist wrote down 15 times a day, every day the following sentence. "I want to be a syndicated cartoonist." He did this every single day, even when he did not feel like a syndicated cartoonist. Now, Scott Adams, the creator of the "Dilbert Cartoon" is a full-time, syndicated cartoonist, known the world over. Scott "wrote it down."
One way to state that goal in a more positive and immediate context is to say, "I am a syndicated cartoonist." Act as if you already are in possession of the goal. It takes a lot of pressure off you during your daily activities when you feel the new role. You then become comfortable with it.
Write your goals down everywhere. As you write them down think about John, the 15-year-old goal achiever from the "Chicken Soup for the Soul" story. Now that John is in his seventies, what advice would John have for you when you ask him, "What is the most important thing I can do to achieve my goals?"
Listen to John whisper in your ear these three words... write it down.

Patient in Hebei has died; possible cases in Scotland and Belfast come as World Health Organisation committee says 'too early' to declare emergency

The 80-year-old man died in Hebei province, near the capital Beijing, on Wednesday.

Dr Jeremy Farrar, a medical researcher and director of The Wellcome Trust, said it respects the advice of the World Health Organization's Emergency Committee to not declare a global emergency but says this must be kept under constant review.
He said: "Countries should act now on the recommendations made by the committee on how best to prepare and respond to this epidemic. There is no need to wait.
The risk of civil collapse from nuclear weapons and the climate crisis is at a record high, according to US scientists and former officials, calling the current environment "profoundly unstable".

Annabella Sciorra's shocking testimony marks first time the Weinstein sex crimes trial directly heard from one of his accusers
In a packed courtroom in the New York supreme court in Manhattan on Thursday, the former Sopranos actor Annabella Sciorra held her arms above her head, wrists locked, in a physical re-enactment of the moment she alleged that the disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein forcibly pinned her to her bed.
"He took my hands and put them over my head to hold them back," the actor said, staring straight at the jury. Some 15ft away on the defense table, the defendant looked impassively at her.

Putin, Pence, Macron and Prince Charles among VIPs told 'remembering is not enough'
Dozens of monarchs, presidents and prime ministers travelled to Jerusalem to remember the Holocaust on Thursday, and were given stark warnings not to ignore escalating antisemitism and violence against Jews in Europe and the United States.
Leaders congregated at the Yad Vashem remembrance centre on the western hills of Jerusalem for a three-hour event held by the fifth World Holocaust Forum. Organisers hoped the meeting would provide a united front against anti-Jewish hatred, including in countries run by many of the attendees.
Climate activist responds after Steven Mnuchin suggests she should study economics
Donald Trump's treasury secretary has clashed with Greta Thunberg after responding to the activist's call for immediate fossil fuel divestment by telling the 17-year-old to go to college and study economics.
In an attempt to slap down the climate emergency movement, Steven Mnuchin pretended not to know who Thunberg was, before dismissing her concerns as ill-informed.
Donald Trump has invited Israel's prime minister and leader of the opposition to Washington for talks on the "prospects of peace", signalling that the White House was preparing to share details of its long-awaited "ultimate deal" for Israelis and Palestinians.Mike Pence, the US vice-president who is visiting Jerusalem for a Holocaust remembrance forum, said after a meeting with Benjamin Netanyahu that he had asked the leader to fly to Washington next week."President Trump asked me to extend an invitation to Prime Minister Netanyahu to come to the White House next week to discuss regional issues as well as the prospect of peace here in the Holy Land," he said. Opposition leader Benny Gantz would also visit, he added, although it was not clear if at the same time.
Trump later tweeted: "Reports about details and timing of our closely-held peace plan are purely speculative."But Israeli media, citing unnamed officials, reported that details of the much-delayed plan could be released as soon as this week – and that they would be extremely favourable to Israel. Reports suggested the proposal would allow Israel to retain large parts of the occupied Palestinian territories, including Jewish settlements, and all of contested Jerusalem. The Palestinians would be granted statehood, but under tight conditions and restrictions.The timing of the reported release was widely seen as a boost for Trump's close ally, Netanyahu, who is battling three corruption charges and faces a fierce battle as he fights for re-election in a 2 March poll. Israel's longest-serving leader has failed to form a government after two inconclusive elections but sought to play up his acumen with Trump and other world leaders to prove to Israelis that he can score big diplomatic wins.
Applicants will be denied tourist visas if they are determined by consular officers to be coming to the US primarily to give birth
The Trump administration has published new visa rules aimed at restricting pregnant women travelling to the United States to give birth so their children can have US citizenship, a practice known as "birth tourism".
Applicants will be denied tourist visas if they are determined by consular officers to be coming to the US primarily to give birth, according to the rules in the Federal Register. They will have to prove they are traveling to the US because they have a medical need and not just because they want to give birth here.
Pastoral guidance also calls for Christians in gay or straight civil unions to be abstinent
The Church of England has stated that sex belongs only within heterosexual marriage, and that sex in gay or straight civil partnerships "falls short of God's purpose for human beings".
Bishops have issued pastoral guidance in response to the recent introduction to mixed-sex civil partnerships, which says: "For Christians, marriage – that is, the lifelong union between a man and a woman, contracted with the making of vows – remains the proper context for sexual activity."
The Senakw development aims to ease the city's chronic housing crisis – and to challenge the mindset that indigeneity and urbanity are incompatible
The scrubby, vacant patch beneath the Burrard Street Bridge in Vancouver looks at first glance like a typical example of the type of derelict nook common to all cities: 11.7 acres of former railway lands, over which tens of thousands of people drive every day.
This is not any old swath of underused space, however. It's one of Canada's smallest First Nations reserves, where dozens of Squamish families once lived. The village was destroyed by provincial authorities more than a century ago.
Amazon have arrived in force in rapidly expanding Hyderabad, with designs on the currently almost non-existent Indian e-commence market
The futuristic lobby of the new Amazon building in Hyderabad feels as though it should have a permanent orchestra blasting out Also Sprach Zarathustra. The scale is intended to awe. A large slogan on a wall suggests the company is "Delivering smiles". The only sound that rises above the hush is a synthesised beep, coming from a giant screen playing a video of the campus at various stages of its construction.
Built on nine acres in this Indian city's financial district, it is Amazon's single largest building globally and the only Amazon-owned campus outside the US. It can house over 15,000 employees, but its size is its main architectural feature: it resembles the same cube of glass steel and chrome seen in corporate offices across Hyderabad, though a flash of magenta reflected in one of the top floor windows, from a billowing sari across the road, is a nice Indian touch.
Minibuses that run on Friday evenings and Saturdays buck state's religious restrictions
Tel Aviv is one of Israel's most dynamic cities, but the latest local craze could appear fairly humdrum to outsiders – a bus service that runs at weekends.
Packed 19-seat minibuses fill up fast with passengers, who excitedly gossip about the new routes. People patiently queue at bus stops, knowing they might have to wait for two or three buses to pass before there is a space. Still, they are upbeat. "It's a pleasure," said Ben Uzan, a 30-year-old electronic engineer. "It's a blessed initiative."
The Garbage Cafe in Ambikapur, India, is helping to tackle the country's plastic waste problem – and their novel idea is catching on
On bad days, when his employer made some excuse for not paying him his paltry daily wage, Ram Yadav's main meal used to be dry chapatis, with salt and raw onion for flavour. Sometimes he just went hungry. For a ragpicker like him, one of the thousands of Indians who make a living bringing in plastic waste for recycling, eating in a cafe or restaurant was the stuff of fairytales.
But last week, Yadav was sitting at a table at the Garbage Cafe in Ambikapur, in the state of Chhattisgarh, over a piping hot meal of dal, aloo gobi, poppadoms and rice. He earned the food in exchange for bringing in 1kg of plastic waste. "The hot meal I get here lasts me all day. And it feels good to sit at a table like everyone else," he said.
Revealed: two years after Ledell Lee was executed, damning evidence emerges that experts say could prove his innocence
The day before Ledell Lee was executed on 20 April 2017, he talked to the BBC from death row. He said that while he could not prevent the state of Arkansas from killing him, he had a message for his executioners: "My dying words will always be, as it has been: 'I am an innocent man'."
Almost two years after Lee was strapped to a gurney and injected with a lethal cocktail of drugs, it looks increasingly likely he was telling the truth: he went to his death an innocent man. New evidence has emerged that suggests Lee was not guilty of the brutal murder of a woman in 1993 for which his life was taken.
Action will proceed but only over statements made in Ted Talk last year and one tweet
Arron Banks, the insurance businessman who co-founded the pro-Brexit Leave.EU campaign, has dropped two elements of his libel claim against the investigative journalist Carole Cadwalladr.
His decision means the action will still proceed but only over statements made in a public Ted Talk last year and in one related tweet. Her full defence is due to be delivered to the court this month.
Margrethe Vestager says EU will also tax tech firms who 'create value but do not pay taxes'
The European Union's leading tech regulator has thrown her weight behind the British government's plans to press ahead with a digital tax despite threats from Donald Trump.
Margrethe Vestager, the EU competition commissioner recently promoted to take charge of Europe's digital policy as well, said she was a "strong supporter" of national digital taxes in order to advance the chances of an international agreement. She said the EU would revive plans for a digital tax within a year if international efforts to find a solution failed.

Authorities in France and the Netherlands have arrested more than 20 suspected members of a people-smuggling gang responsible for transporting as many as 10,000 migrants from France into Britain, the European police agency has said.
The network is believed to have made about €70m (£59m) from its human trafficking operations, which used refrigerated lorries to smuggle Afghan, Iranian, Iraqi-Kurdish and Syrian migrants into the UK.
Leicester workers allegedly paid £3 an hour in 'miserable conditions', with other serious labour abuses suspected in the north-west
Concerns over the ongoing situation of up to 10,000 garment workers in Leicester, who are feared to be trapped in conditions of modern slavery and paid £3 an hour, have been raised in Parliament.
Andrew Bridgen, MP for North West Leicestershire, raised a question on Tuesday about the continuing state of working conditions in factories supplying the UK's booming fast fashion industry, and sought a meeting with business secretary Kelly Tolhurst for clarity over enforcement of the national minimum wage.
Chief minister argues initiative will empower women, but move sparks controversy in conservative Indian state
When women reach the polling booths to cast their vote in current village council elections in Rajasthan, they may be asked to remove their veil, showing their faces in front of strangers.
The move is controversial in this vast, conservative rural hinterland, where the veil is worn by Hindu and Muslim women as well as other groups.
Exit permits to be scrapped, but requirement for domestic workers to give employers 72 hours' notice is 'problematic', say activists
Domestic workers in Qatar must give their employers advance notice before leaving the country, in a new policy that campaigners say raises concerns for those trapped in abusive situations.
As pressure mounts on Qatar to tackle labour exploitation ahead of the 2022 World Cup, it announced last week that it was abolishing restrictions on leaving the country for nearly all migrant workers, who previously had to obtain their employer's permission.
Policymakers urged to act on climate and bridge digital divide as study shows soaring inequality is affecting millions
Inequality has reached unprecedented levels, with more than 70% of the global population living in countries where the wealth gap is growing, according to a new UN report.
Social and economic disparities have soared even in countries such as Argentina, Brazil and Mexico, where inequality had been falling in recent decades, found the World Social Report.
Wellington has restricted foreign political donations but its lax approach to Beijing suggests economic interests still trump national security concerns
Transparency International announced yesterday that New Zealand is the least corrupt country in the world. This is excellent news, but New Zealand cannot afford to rest on its laurels.
Transparency International's Corruption Perception Index assesses whether countries have a corrupt judiciary and public sector. Some other aspects where corruption can also occur, such as political funding, are not included in the index.
Ever more non-Māori are doing the haka – but shouldn't be unless its integrity is preserved
I wonder if any of the French lawyers protesting their government's pension reform with a haka, the Māori dance form, have ever set foot in New Zealand?
For a good number of white people, including white New Zealanders, haka is apparently irresistible. "Ka Mate", the Ngāti Toa haka the All Blacks perform pre-match, delights global audiences every year. Contemporary teams take it dead seriously, but in the late-19th and early-20th century the mostly white team would turn to the British crowds, slapping their thighs and hanging their tongues out for "entertainment".
It is not known how many people Prince Mohammed shared WhatsApp messages with in 2018 other than Jeff Bezos
Jeff Bezos was far from the only American VIP who met Saudi Arabia's crown prince in the spring of 2018. During a coast-to-coast tour Mohammed bin Salman had personal encounters with dozens of celebrities, politicians and tech titans including George Bush, Richard Branson and Bill Gates.
Our nation has been in a biodiversity crisis for more than 100 years, but the climate crisis could push our at-risk animals to the brink
As world leaders debate how to curb emissions to shape a better tomorrow, for New Zealand's iconic wildlife the reality is clear – the environment they once thrived in has rapidly changed and species must adapt to survive.
New Zealand is home to species found nowhere else in the world – a flightless parrot, a reptile as old as the dinosaurs, a bat that uses folded wings as "limbs" to scramble around on the forest floor. The unique wildlife thrived on a landmass that was essentially a life-raft separated from predators such as rats and stoats for 80m years.
Authorities have shut down public transport and airports to prevent Wuhan's 11 million residents from leaving the city as they look to prevent the spread of coronavirus. Police have been seen patrolling railway stations and setting up roadblocks
Iguanas are falling from trees in south Florida as unusually low temperatures sweep through the region. The invasive species can become sluggish when the temperature drops below 50F (10C) and are susceptible to freezing once temperatures drop to around 40F (4.5C). Once frozen, these cold-blooded creatures lose their grip on the trees they call home. Residents have expressed shock at the sight of rigid reptiles lying motionless in the middle of sidewalks and backyards. But while they appear lifeless, they are simply too cold to move
Chuck Schumer, the US Senate minority leader, said Donald Trump's defence team appeared 'unprepared, confused and unconvincing' during the first day of debate at the president's impeachment trial on Tuesday.
All but one Republican voted against the amendments offered by Democrats, which was approved by the Senate on a party line vote in the early hours of Wednesday morning
Donald Trump's impeachment trial began in the US Senate, with Democrats pushing back against the rules set out by the Republican-held senate. Democrats accused Republicans of covering up for the president as their amendments to trial proceedings were voted down repeatedly

The uses of hemp are numerous – with growing promising applications of this plant including fuel, paper, food, clothing, medicine, construction, cosmetics – already the list is impressive. The hemp plant is trending in popularity and proving useful for a green and sustainable economy.
This renewable resource is easy to grow and creating a market that awaits to be tapped. The hemp plant holds revolutionary potential, as it can effectively replace huge numbers of currently unsustainable products and industrial practices.
With modern processing technologies available today, it is possible to develop alternatives for plastic, gasoline, and other products made from petroleum. Thus it can help reduce our dependence on polluting expensive fossil fuels.
Legal Status Today
Hemp's legal status varies in each country, and also the laws are constantly changing. In Australia, industrial hemp should not contain more than 1% THC in the flowering heads and leaves and can be grown under license from certified hemp seeds.
In the U.S., it's not federally legal, to freely grow hemp. China and Europe, are more liberal as concerns hemp. China is the leading hemp producer in the world, and smaller plantations exist across Europe. In Europe, France presently has the highest production of industrial hemp.
The Top 10 Uses Of Hemp
Let's look at some of Hemp's most important uses
- Medicine
In the recent past, the medicative benefits of cannabinoid have been proven scientifically. CBD, THC, and other lesser-known cannabinoids show promising effects for different ailments, like mood disorders, cancer, MS, epilepsy, PTSD, and many more. While hemp contains little to no THC, it may be grown to have higher levels of CBD, a component that has also been confirmed to be therapeutically beneficial.
Its CBD-rich content makes it possible to get many extracts and medicines, that include CBD rich oil, tinctures, and solid consumables.
- Fabric, Textiles, and Rope
Hemp plant may be used to create different fabrics, that resemble but more long-lasting than cotton. This plant is also great for making rugs and ropes. The word canvas is the Latin word for hemp.
Hemp plants contain two main kinds of fibres. These are bast fibres (are long, made from the stem) and the hurds (shorter inner fibres from the stem). The bast fibres are best for production of textiles, makes up 20 – 30% of the plant stem.
Hemp clothing is softer, safer, and more comfortable. Hemp plant provides the traditional rope-making fibre as it is water-resistant, strong and flexible. It is very important in the shipping industry, and fishing as it was used in making nets, sails, ropes and riggings.
- Food And Drink
Of all the edible plants found on earth, none compares to the nutrition levels provided by hemp seeds. They contain the right balance of amino acids, fatty acids, and oils. 65% of proteins within hemp plants are called globulin edestin, and provide all the proteins that the body needs.
Also, hemp contains a huge amount of healthy fatty acids, that help in the maintenance of a variety of circulatory tissues, like arteries and blood vessels, and in keeping things like your hair, skin and eyes healthy. Additionally, the hemp plant is highly resilient and can grow in any weather condition – it's worth noting that in the 19th Century, Australians endured two prolonged famines on hemp seeds alone.
- Body Care
Since hemp has high levels of emollient properties and beneficial oils, it is now becoming a popular component in lotions and hair, skin, and cosmetic products. The oil extracted from hemp seeds is very rich in minerals and nutrients that are extremely beneficial to your hair and skin.
New research indicates that many cannabinoids are beneficial to our skin. Hence, hemp has been for a long time a key component in many cosmetics.
The essential fatty acids found in hemp seed oil closely match our skin. And the levels of essential fatty acids contained in hemp are perfect for the maintenance of the body's natural barrier against diseases and the elements. This similarity is what enables hemp seed oil to refill the moisture levels when used topically.
- Construction
Hemp can revolutionise the building industry thus allowing for greener housing. Almost all parts of constructing a house can be sourced from the hemp plant. This plant may be used to make bricks, wall-boards, plaster and concrete. Pipes may also be made using hemp plastic, while insulation and carpets may be made from hemp. Not to mention paint made using hemp oils. The versatility offered by this green resource is incredible.
The real gem in hemp-based construction products is "hempcrete", concrete made using hemp. Hempcrete is used for foundations and walls, it is half the weight, seven-times stronger, and has the flexibility of three times that of normal concrete. This building product is also very breathable, allowing for moisture to be transferred out of a building, thus preventing dampness and even mould.
- Plastics
Most plastics used today are made from cellulose derived from petroleum. Oil, used for making petroleum, is not only extremely toxic to our environment, but it's also running out. Luckily, it's possible to use plant cellulose to make plastic which is 100% biodegradable and stronger than the conventional plastic.
Since hemp stalks are 85 percent cellulose, they make a perfect resource for the plastic industry. Furthermore, the ease and speed with which the hemp crop grows, and its ability to grow almost anywhere makes it an abundant and also a renewable resource.
Hemp plastics have endless possibilities considering they are easier to produce, safer, and greener. This shifts the power from oil barons as more industries seek to sever their dependency on big oil.
- Fuel
Yet another revolutionary application of hemp is making it into bio-diesel. Hemp can be transformed into a green and renewable fuel that can be used for most diesel engines – this property makes hemp a viable option to petroleum-based diesel.
Though not a known fact, but Rudolf Diesel, creator of diesel engine and Henry Ford of Ford Motor Company, didn't imagine today's cars running on petroleum-based fuel. They both designed their motor components to use bio-diesel and believed hemp to be the fuel of the future. Rudolf Diesel operated one of the first diesel engines using peanut oil.
- Bio-remediation
New research has been done into how to use hemp in cleaning up of contaminated soil. Since, hemp is very resilient and will grow in very harsh conditions, including those areas where man activities have killed off all other life.
This process is called phytoremediation. This process uses plants in the restoration of damaged environments. While hemp is not seen as a hyper-accumulator (plants that store contaminants within their mass), hemp takes up significant amounts of contaminants that it stores within its roots. This has some advantage over hyper-accumulators since lack of contaminants and heavy metals getting stored in the plant's main body allows it's being harvested for other industrial applications, like paper making and conversion to a biofuel; while the contaminated roots are disposed of safely.
- Paper
Hemp makes a possible pick for paper. The analysis shows that hemp paper is superior to wood-based paper owing to its composition. The Hemp paper has high cellulose levels and only has 4 to 10% lignin. Since hemp uses less chemical treatments, it decreases waste water contamination. The creamy natural colour of hemp paper implies that it doesn't require extensive bleaching – and both these aspects are a lot better for our environment.
Additionally, hemp paper is much stronger than paper from wood, and is long-lasting – this can be for many years (1500-year old hemp paper was found intact). Moreover, hemp paper is recyclable many times over compared to paper made from wood.
- Animal Feed
Humans are not the only ones who can benefit from the high nutritive value of hemp. it can also be beneficial to livestock as well as other animals. Often, Hemp seeds are used in seed mix for wild birds. It is preferred by many species for its quality to give energy and rich oils. This is great as it helps them get through winter and for maintaining healthy feathers. When hemp seeds are added to a bird's diet, it can live 10 to 20% longer, flies longer due to its high-quality feathers and has more offspring.
When feeding domesticated animals and livestock, there is nothing better than the hemp seed cake. The Hempseed cake is a by-product of oil pressed from hemp seeds. Hemp seed cake caters for all dietary needs for nearly all animals, including dogs, cats, poultry, horses, and farm animals. Also, it allows for maximum gaining of weight at a lower price than the current feeds being used.
In Closing
Hemp is a renewable resource and can be cultivated domestically. It grows fast, resists plant diseases naturally, can grow in most climates, and replenished the soil it grows. Though hemp might look like marijuana, it, however, does not carry the active chemicals which cause mind-altering effects. Even with this, the availability of hemp products continues to grow throughout the world.

Steve Smith and David Warner's year-long international exile has come to an end following their inclusion in Australia's squad for the Cricket World Cup.
Smith and Warner were stripped of their roles as captain and vice-captain respectively and banned for 12 months for their involvement in a ball-tampering scandal during the Test series against South Africa in March 2018.
Their suspensions expired last month and the pair – who did not feature in the one-day international series against Pakistan in the Middle East – will be in action at the World Cup in England, starting in June.
However, the 15-man squad – led by captain Aaron Finch – does not include in-form batsman Peter Handscomb and fast bowler Josh Hazlewood, while the likes of D'Arcy Short, Kane Richardson, Ashton Turner and Matthew Wade also missed out.
Handscomb has averaged 43 in 13 games this year, including a maiden ODI hundred against Indian, but there is no room for the Victorian following Smith and Warner's return.
Despite being sidelined since January due to injury, Hazlewood was confident of earning a World Cup spot but Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Jhye Richardson, Nathan Coulter-Nile and Jason Behrendorff are Australia's preferred pace options.
Starc and Richardson's inclusion for the showpiece 50-over tournament is subject to fitness.
The full squad captained by Aaron Finch reads, Jason Behrendorff, Alex Carey, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Pat Cummins, Usman Khawaja, Nathan Lyon, Shaun Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Jhye Richardson, Steve Smith, Mitchell Starc, Marcus Stoinis, David Warner, Adam Zampa

Arrests On The Rise Among Illegal Immigrants
Arrests of illegal immigrants in Boston are up significantly in the last fiscal year.
Federal statistics indicate a 50-percent increase in the arrests of illegal immigrants in the 2017 fiscal year that ended last September.
The statistics show the increase is partly because of non-criminal arrests, which more than tripled from the previous fiscal year.
Immigration activists say the numbers are rising because law-abiding people who have been allowed to stay in the U.S. for years are now being removed.

I waited far too long to buy a new mattress, but the Tuck is incredible, my wife and I have never slept better!View More Reviews
My mattress was perfect — not too soft, I guess the springs ensured my body never sunk in uncomfortably like with a tempur pedic, but not too firm either, which made it much more comfortable than my previous mattress. Highly recommend!
We have had it now for 6 months. It is the most comfortable mattress we have ever owned. The support is wonderful. Both my husband and I are getting the best night sleep we have had in years. My husband has suffered with back pain on and off for years and with the Tuck there has not been an issue with his back. We Love Our Tuck!!!
We spend a third of our lives in bed. I should have placed a higher emphasis on my mattress quality. Thankfully, I now have a Tuck. The comfort and custimization combine to make this a truly wonderful mattress!
I found this company after reading something about how they use recycled water bottles in the mattress. Never heard of such a thing, but I try to eat/shop/live natural, so seemed like a good fit. I had a friend help me carry it up to the second floor of my place, and we had fun getting it set up. I would have given it five stars, but it took nearly a week to ship. I know each mattress is built upon order, but I'm just used to Amazon Prime timing (probably my fault), but I'm sleeping much better with it than my old mattress.
Roughly ten years ago I wasted a Saturday with my wife at the mall laying down on probably 30 mattresses, and missing college football. After probably three 'tests' they all blended together for me. Frankly, I dreaded having to go through that process again. This time around, we now all have the option of ordering a mattress online. Wife was a bit hesitant, but the sleep test that Tuck uses allowed us to get what is best for us on each side of the bed, and she was sold. Make no mistake, this thing is heavy, but once set up, we have been sleeping great, and I won't have to miss an important football game again!
I went through a lot of mattresses trying to find something I could share with my husband. Because we're very different sizes, the mattresses I liked best left him with back pain in the morning, while the mattresses he preferred were so firm that I couldn't get to sleep on them. Getting to customize our own sides of the mattress changed the game. Finally, neither of us is waking up aches and pains in the morning.
To be fair, my last mattress was $200 and is 8 years old, but the Tuck mattress is soooo much better. Like 10x what I was sleeping on before. Not only am I sleeping better, waking up refreshed and without stiff neck, but anytime I have an "overnight visitor", they never want to leave because they keep saying how fantastic my mattress feels! I'd like to take credit for most of that sentiment, but in reality it's probably my Tuck bed. Oh, and I really appreciated the support I got when I was trying to build my custom mattress. They were quick to jump on my question and helped make buying a mattress easy. Kudos!
I decided to purchase a Tuck bed in July. Since then, I have had the best sleep of my life and I mean that. Being able to customize a mattress to my needs was a huge plus for me. After consulting my S.O. we decided to go with the blended option. I can't express how great our Tuck has been. We adjusted accordingly and sleep like babies. My favorite feature is the cooling. I run so hot at night and since our Tuck I haven't woken up sweating. You can't go wrong with a mattress built just for you!
I replaced a relatively new, expensive, sagging mattress with this one and I have been very impressed. It is very comfortable, supportive and cool. My husband and I no longer roll towards the center and the edge is also very firm. Plus, it was very entertaining to watch it expand from the packaging into a queen bed. AMAZING!
Great support yet plush. There is no rolling side to side to find a cozy comfy spot - it's just all evenly-dispersed goodness. Other mattresses left me feeling strained or unsupported. Now I have total body relief. This mattress has changed the way I feel when I wake up. I fall asleep immediately and wake up well-rested and refreshed. Best sleep of my life!
I was at my daughter's home taking care of my Grandsons for several days and experienced a "Tuck" mattress. I asked my daughter what brand of mattress I was sleeping on and where could I purchase it? She told me it was a Tuck mattress and it comes in a box directly to your house. I am in my 60's and old school about trying out a mattress in a store but NO MORE! I can't say enough about this mattress. I usually wake up several times a night and have a hard time getting comfortable and falling back to sleep. I slept through the night and got up without the usual sore back and stiff muscles.
My husband and I had a great sleep on this mattress in my sister's guest room. It was extremely comfortable, with the right amount of firmness, and we didn't wake up once. I'm counting the minutes until ours arrives.
The new mattress in my daughter's guest room was great! We felt strong support from the memory coil system, yet it was comfortable and not too soft. My husband's bad back and knees felt good both mornings we woke up at their house! We will be customizing our own this week.
This mattress was one of the most comfortable mattresses I have ever slept on. Normally, getting out of bed is a chore for me since I am so groggy in the mornings. After sleeping on this, I feel energized and ready to start my days. Even, after a night on the town I woke up feeling amazing. Does this bed cure hangovers? Who knows! But I like to think so…
I always questioned a mattress that comes in a box. When a friend highly recommended I try Tuck vs. other companies like Casper, I figured I'd give it a shot. It was the best decision I've ever made! The mattress arrived exactly when it said it would. Setup couldn't have been easier- especially living in a condo in the city. The last mattress I bought from a store the delivery people arrived two hours late, brought the wrong sized box spring and broke a picture while bringing it into the condo. This process was SO much easier! My husband and I both love how comfortable it is and the quality couldn't be better! We will be ordering another one for our guest room.
If you're an individual like me who is dealing with a sacroiliac joint issues, this mattress is very conducive to dealing with this condition. The firmness of this mattress allows one of full night sleep.
Best mattres i ever slept on. Great service fron the representative. I would recomend this mattress to everyoneView More Reviews
White Dove warranty promises are false. After less than 1-year the bed I purchased from them has sagged so bad I won't sleep on it (the bed has not been moved and I'm not overweight, so no excuses). I emailed them explaining the situation, submitted all the required pictures and documentation with no luck. This has all been while I was pregnant and NEEDED a comfortable bed to sleep in - instead of sleeping on the couch or cheap twin bed in our guest room. I have been strung along for 5 months, waiting for a new bed (now they quit responding to my emails and phone calls), in misery. Don't buy a White Dove, King Koil, or Comfort Solutions mattress (they're owned by the same company and don't stand behind their word).
We bought our first White Dove queen mattress about 12 to 13 years ago. It was reasonably priced, and the quality and comfort were excellent. I wanted a firm mattress and got one that held up well.
After a few years, we needed to replace a mattress in another bedroom and chose another White Dove. We've had it for 3 or 4 years now and it also has been superb. I have a pretty bad back, but these mattresses really fill the bill for me. They stay supportive and don't seem to degrade as quickly as orhers I've owned in the past.
A few years ago, we bought a third White Dove for a spare bedroom. Again- well made, great quality, and no complaints. Like all the other mattresses, it too came from Wayside Furniture in Akron.
Finally, after some reading on when one should replace a mattress, I learned that after eight years is a good time. Since our original White Dove queen mattress was going on 14 years old, and my back is giving me a bit more trouble as I age, we decided to shop around a bit and get a new one with a bit more firmness.
Not surprisingly, a White Dove was still the best choice, and again we purchased it from Wayside over Memorial Day weekend. For comparison's sake, I looked at Mattress Firm first, and tgeir products/prices didn't even come close to the White Dove models at Wayside. They had a great mattress sale going on, and according to Consumer Reports, Memorial Day weekend is an excellent time to find good prices on mattresses.
For one, I really like that White Dove mattresses are made nearby in Cleveland, Ohio. More than that, every one I've had has been a pleasure to sleep on and has held up beautifully. In fact, when the delivery guys came in to take out my original White Dove and saw it, they asked what was wrong with it. It still looked new to them, despite its 13 years of use!
As long as White Dove still builds their mattresses in the USA, I will never buy anything else.
The absolute best mattress that I've ever slept on!
Superior product made by true craftsman! I have an auto immune condition that causes me lots of pain and makes a good nights sleep difficult for me. My parents have bought White Dove mattresses for years, so I decided to go get my own. I bought a Lincoln Highway Plush from the Cambridge Collection. It's amazing. So comfortable! Even for my achy bones :)

Good Morning, Dear Friends and Prayer Partners! This is the day that the Lord has made and we will rejoice and be glad in it! We have our rain as predicted and thunder keeps sounding off in the distance, but the temp has not dropped, so we are still at 70 and all is good. We really needed the rain to dampen down the pollen. So this should do it nicely.
Maybe the weather will clear before I have to go to the doc's this afternoon. Otherwise, I will have to use my umbrella and hope to stay dry. I am not coughing so much, so am slowly getting better, which is a good thing!
I went shopping for a little bit yesterday and drove on to the park where I saw a young mom squatting down to take a picture of the large gopher tortoise, face to face.They are so common to us natives, but not so much to visitors. A large flock of ibis were pecking their way through the neighborhood yesterday. They are so interesting to watch, because they are intent on what they are doing, yet seem to know just what the rest of the crowd is up to , and they move in together. God is good!
From the Promise Bible NLT:
Psalm 106:1-3 48
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good!
His faithful love endures forever.
Who can ever praise him half enough?
Happy are those who deal justly with
others and always do what is right....
Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,
from everlasting to everlasting!
Let all the people say, "Amen!"
I always give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers with thanksgiving, joy and love!
Love and hugs,

Time Of Bells 1
Artist: Steven Feld
Steven Feld – Time Of Bells 1 – CD
THE TIME OF BELLS, 1 Soundscapes of Italy, Finland, Greece and France Steven Feld Omnis clocha clochabilis, in clocherio clochando clochans clochativo clochare facit clochabiliter clochantes. -François Rabelais, Gargantua, 1554 After twenty-five years of recording rainforest soundscapes in Papua New Guinea, I've started to listen to Europe. I'm struck by a sonic resemblance: bells stand to European time as birds do to rainforest time. Daily time, seasonal time, work time, ritual time, social time, collective time, cosmological time – all have their parallels, with rainforest birds sounding as quotidian clocks and spirit voices, and European bells heralding civil and religious time. In these compositions you'll hear how bells sound the time of day, the time of prayer, the time of festival, the time of transhumance. You'll hear how their temporality shapes space, changing ambience with the season, making distance and dimension. You'll hear how they interact with other time and space-makers, from the sea, insects and birds, to cars, televisions, and musical instruments. Most of all you'll hear how bells simultaneously sound a present and past, as their immediate resonance also rings the longue durée of their technological and social history. 1. Gragnana: a village above Carrara in the marble mountains of Italy's Tuscan coast. Late on a May afternoon the shepherd Benito brings his fifty belled sheep down from the hills. As they walk toward the small shed where Benito will milk and leave the sheep for the night, the village church bell, about one kilometer in the distance, sounds the descending three tones that signal a funeral. Later, at 8 p.m., the bell sounds the ave maria, marking the end of the day. The bell's imposition of religious time on Gragnana is nothing short of ironic; the village has long been home to anti-clerical anarchists. [10:06] 2. Nauvo: a Finnish village on an archipelago southwest of Turku. In the brisk Nordic air of early spring a pair of austere bells calls the Sunday congregation. Then the resonance of the organ, one of the oldest in Finland, fills the old stone church. After the service, hymns are sung at the adjacent graveyard, and the birds, cars, and bells again mark the surrounding space and temporal motion of the day of prayer. [11:12] 3. Kali Vrissi: a Greek mountain village between the Balkan cities of Serres and Drama. Early in the new year, people gather for the annual festival of babouyera, 'the old men' masked and costumed in heavy bells. Led by bagpipes and frame drums, dozens of belled men and boys parade through the winding streets. Here festival bells both create and collapse time, playing with the struggle of music and noise, plunging the village into a sonic river while making it audible like a passing flock of sheep. [11:08] Ringing the angelus: a French village suite [24:56] The Catholic practice of ringing the angelus to signal prayer commemorating the incarnation dates to the 13th and 14th centuries. French village bells generally sound the angelus at 7 a.m., 12 noon, and 7 p.m., heralded by a triple ring of three pulses. 4. Sermérieu: a small agricultural village in the Isére, southeast of Lyon. The morning angelus sounds through the density of trucks, cars, and tractors heading to work, accompanied by roosters, birds, dogs and TV broadcasts, and an old fountain just across the road. [6:43] 5. Bormes-les-Mimosas: a village perched above the Mediterranean, west of St. Tropez. Light winds shape the ocean's pulse at a rocky water edge, punctuated by summer tourist car horns in the bustling streets above. Suddenly the overlapping noon angelus of two church bells, one more distant, another in the town center, sounds like dolphins at play in the water. [6:46] 6. Méaudre: an alpine village in the Vercors, southwest of Grenoble. Belled cows graze along the road, and the evening angelus pours across the valleys, followed by the roar of motorbikes and cars heading home. Later, as the cows move back up into the mountains, the evening is taken over by grillons, night crickets who sound as

Basic question
I am familiar with the data returned from Yahoo. For indices and the like (e.g. ETFs) there are seven columns of data: Date, Open, High, Low, Close, Volume, Adjusted. We only need consider Close and Adjusted here. Here is a brief definition of Adusted-Prices, which states that they are used when examining historical prices (without any references).
I would like to know what the relative merits are for using the market closing prices for any given asset, versus the adjusted prices, which take events such as dividend-payouts into account. As the accepted answer in this thread states (in the personal finance SO), which of the two you should select depends on what you want to use it for. This is where I am unsure.
I feel like the adjusted prices would perhaps be more telling of the market sentiment towards and actual asset, as a dividend payout for example would likely improve investor confidence towards that stock. On the other hand, I am looking at predicting number based on other numbers, which are those actually displaying what was most recently paid for that asset, so it feels more concrete to use the closing prices.
Any references to literature on this topic would be greatly appreciated.
More detailed example
I am using a wide variety of data in a model that predicts the return of the Dow Jones. This includes the returns of other indices as well as commoodities and currencies etc.
Specifically for the indices that I am looking at, I had a look to see what the difference was between the Close and Adjusted prices. Here is the code (in R using
quantmodto get the relevant data) and the results
library(quantmod) # to get market data
library(data.table) # my preferred way to manipulate the data
myDAX <- getSymbols(Symbols = c("^GDAXI"), auto.assign = FALSE)
myDOW <- getSymbols(Symbols = c("^DJI"), auto.assign = FALSE)
myEEM <- getSymbols(Symbols = c("EEM"), auto.assign = FALSE)
myFTSE <- getSymbols(Symbols = c("^FTSE"), auto.assign = FALSE)
myGSPC <- getSymbols(Symbols = c("^GSPC"), auto.assign = FALSE)
myN225 <- getSymbols(Symbols = c("^N225"), auto.assign = FALSE)
## Create data tables
dax <- as.data.table(myDAX)
dow <- as.data.table(myDOW)
eem <- as.data.table(myEEM)
ftse <- as.data.table(myFTSE)
sp500 <- as.data.table(myGSPC)
n225 <- as.data.table(myN225)
## create new column 'delta' - the difference between adjusted and closing prices
dax[, delta := GDAXI.Adjusted - GDAXI.Close]
dow[, delta := DJI.Adjusted - DJI.Close]
eem[, delta := EEM.Adjusted - EEM.Close]
ftse[, delta := FTSE.Adjusted - FTSE.Close]
sp500[, delta := GSPC.Adjusted - GSPC.Close]
n225[, delta := N225.Adjusted - N225.Close]
Here we get a results printed out, saying how many of the values for
delta were zero.
print(paste0(sum(dax$delta == 0) / nrow(dax) * 100, "% zero delta"))
[1] "100% zero delta"
print(paste0(sum(dow$delta == 0) / nrow(dow) * 100, "% zero delta"))
[1] "100 % zero delta"
print(paste0(sum(eem$delta == 0) / nrow(eem) * 100, "% zero delta"))
[1] "1.66 % zero delta"
print(paste0(sum(ftse$delta == 0) / nrow(ftse) * 100, "% zero delta"))
[1] "100 % zero delta"
print(paste0(sum(sp500$delta == 0) / nrow(sp500) * 100, "% zero delta"))
[1] "100% zero delta"
print(paste0(sum(n225$delta == 0) / nrow(n225) * 100, "% zero delta"))
[1] "100% zero delta"
print(paste0(sum(sse$delta == 0) / nrow(sse) * 100, "% zero delta"))
[1] "100% zero delta"
We can see that only in the case of the ETF
EEM did we get any differences in the prices, only 1.66% of the delta values being zero.
Looking at the data for individual stocks (for example: Apple, I wouldn't expect hardly any delta values to be equal to zero!
A final question remains: Why are the prices of the indices above not adjusted at all, considering their constituents are adjusted?
