ShotSpotter: Bracing For A Bear Raid
ShotSpotter (SSTI) first came to my attention three months ago.

As Thanksgiving preparations arrive, I naturally find my thoughts veering to the evolution of demand for turkey, technological change in turkey production, market concentration in the turkey industry, and price indexes for a classic Thanksgiving dinner.

Crude oil prices rose to the highest level since mid-2015 amid speculation that OPEC will extend a cartel-led production cut scheme at its upcoming meeting.
