Well, I suppose it's only a matter of time now until 28-nm Radeons flood store shelves. According to X-bit labs, AMD CEO Rory Read revealed at the Raymond James IT Supply Chain conference that revenue shipments of 28-nm products have already begun.
Rory stated, "We are ramping 28nm [products] with TSMC in Taiwan and shipping the products here and now. We are very excited about the products." X-bit labs includes a few nuggets of speculation about the upcoming 28-nm GPUs (reportedly code-named "Tahiti"), but the point of note here is that this will be the first generation of graphics chips to take advantage of a new process technology since the Radeon HD 5800 series rolled out in September 2009.
Yes, TSMC's 40-nm process has been around that long. There have been refinements and new generations of GPU silicon based on it, of course, but the jump to 28 nm should be a momentous one.
Nvidia still seems to be a little bit behind AMD. Last we heard, the company's 28-nm Kepler GPUs weren't due to hit production until next year. Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsung Huang could only promise that production would start "shortly" during an earnings conference call in November.

WARREN—University of New England college student William Cox, 19, has found a novel way to offset the cost of his college books and materials. He’s offering custom hand-drawn portraits to the Midcoast community.
Without a website or professional presence, he recently posted on Midcoast Message Board, a FB group with almost 26,000 members, that he was looking for commissions in order to pay for his college supplies.
He posted some of his recent portraits and the response from the community was not only overwhelmingly positive in terms of his artwork, but many also praised his ingenuity and fortitude. As a result of that one post, he picked up about five new customers for commissioned portraits.
“From that one post, I made about $600, which allowed me to pay for all of my college books and a calculator,” he said. “I couldn’t believe how expensive that calculator was; I’m still bamboozled by that.”
Cox grew up in Warren and attended Medomak High School, taking as many art classes as he could.
“I really started being committed to drawing in middle school,” he said. “Growing up we didn’t have TV or cable internet so I kind of just occupied my mind with drawing and found I really liked it.”
Now, as a freshman at UNE, he’s double majoring in animal behavior (pre-vet) and studio art.
His portraits are mostly done in graphite pencil and charcoal and are often recreations of sentimental photographs and of people’s pets. Take a look at the inspiration behind each one.
This one was one of my first customers to show interest in my art and in the end she has bought three of my pieces of her children. This is one of her and her daughter.
|This is an old photo of somebody’s parents and he wanted me to recreate it so he could give it to his mother.||The same customer who I’d done the mother-daughter portrait for wanted another done of her other daughter. This one was done in charcoal on gray paper. Then I used pastels for the pops of color.||I actually was testing out this type of paper and I threw together Stevie Nicks, cause she’s awesome. My friends’ mom was crazy over it and wouldn’t not let me sell it to her, so it became hers.|
One departure from his portraits is his favorite, an oil painting that depicts a hellish landscape above the ocean waterline and tranquility below. “The concept was climate change and it reflects the destruction of humans upon the ocean and coral reefs.”
|The artwork was entered into two competitions and won an Honorable Mention from both the Bowseat and the Scholastic Arts Awards of New of England.||“This is my friend True; he has the best hair ever. His last name is Crane so I incorporated the birds into his portrait.”|
Given his love of animals, he has done a number of pet portraits for people.
“I love drawing dogs, so that part is fun,” he said.
With a full course load at school, he doesn’t have a lot of time to draw, but is open for more commissions, because he’s got a new goal to work toward.
“I got accepted through UNE to study abroad in Morocco in the spring of 2021 and I’m excited about that, so I will continue to do portraits to help pay my way there,” he said. Everyone who goes there has the best stories. It’s so surreal. You can spend an entire weekend in the Sahara Desert riding camels and stargazing and I can’t wait.”
The experience will undoubtedly spark the inspiration for more portraits.
“Oh, it definitely will,” he said.

More companies than ever are trying to go green or organic to meet the rising demands of beauty product customers. Organic beauty products with fewer chemicals continue to increase and flood the market, and we think more natural beauty products is a great trend to take hold. However, the number of chemicals still used in many beauty products today is eye-popping and a little disturbing. Granted, not all chemicals are harmful or dangerous, but shouldn’t we all take steps to move back toward our roots and create the best cosmetic options possible? Don’t we have an obligation to make make up and beauty products healthy and safe to use for all consumers? Check out these alarming facts about the chemicals used in today’s beauty products, and how many chemicals the average person puts on their skin each day.
Facts About Chemicals in Beauty Products
- There are more than 10,500 different ingredients used in personal care products.
- Global, plant-based pharmaceutical market valued at $19.5 billion in 2008
- Global beauty industry valued at $50 billion in 2010.
- Women use on average 12 products containing 168 ingredients and 515 chemicals every day.
- Men use on average 6 products containing 85 ingredients every day.
- Children are exposed to 61 ingredients every day.
Average Number of Chemicals in Beauty Products
- Hairspray – 11
- Blush – 16
- Foundation – 24
- Deodorant – 15
- Shampoo – 15
- Eye Shadow – 26
- Nail Polish – 31
- Perfume – 250
- Body Lotion – 32
- Fake Tan – 22
- Lipstick – 33
In a Campaign for Safe Cosmetics test of 33 popular lipstick brands, they found that 61% of lipsticks contained lead, with levels up to 0.65 parts per million. The FDA did a follow-up study and found levels up to 7.19 parts per million. 5 of the 10 most contaminated brands are made by L’Oreal. There is no safe level of lead exposure.
Regulation (Or Lack Thereof) of Chemicals in Beauty Products
- FDA has no authority to require companies to test products for safety. FDA does not review or approve the vast majority of products or ingredients before they go on the market.
- FDA has no authority to require recalls of harmful cosmetics. Manufacturers are not required to report cosmetics-related injuries to the agency – they’re supposed to do so voluntarily.
- Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) safety panel has assessed fewer than 20% of cosmetics ingredients, and found only 11 ingredients or chemicals to be unsafe.
- Products labeled “Natural” or “Organic” often contain synthetic chemicals – “organic” products are only required to contain as little as 10% organic ingredients by weight or volume.
- Federal law allows companies to leave many chemicals off the label – nanomaterials, ingredients considered trade secrets, components of fragrance (fragrance may include any of 3,163 different chemicals).

I have cookbooks that just sit on the shelf, recipe cards that have come from one of those on-demand mail order services piled in a drawer, and even an endless list of favorited dishes online. But personally, my favorite place to search for something to cook is the recipe box my mother gave me a few years back. It sits so proudly on the counter in my kitchen, holding so many keys to my childhood.
Food is generational, it is something that brings people together, and it is where memories are made. Some of my favorite memories of holidays are making spritz and kolacky cookies with my mom, or the oven French toast she made every Christmas morning. Just the smell of any of those dishes reminds me of so many great times in my childhood.
So much of our lives revolve around the passion for food. It is how we celebrate our culture. It is how we show love and affection. It is how we pass down traditions. It’s what joins us at the dinner table each night. Food may be the one universal language that can bring people together. Bringing that celebration of food to life through photography is what makes it so beautiful to me.
Over the past 15 years as a photographer and four years as an art director/designer, I have found that capturing food is a unique challenge. Here are a few things to keep in mind when trying to capture the delicious shot. Just like cooking the perfect mole poblano, there are a lot of steps and ingredients needed to bring that story to life visually, but when you taste the end result it makes it all worth it.
PREPARATION IS KEY
Photography is more than just capturing a simple image or pressing the shutter. Just like a chef wielding a knife, mastering the tools is only the first step. Knowledge of the equipment with the right F stops, white balance, and shutter speed are crucial so I can quickly adapt to any variable that may arise. It’s important to know my camera and equipment like the back of my hand so I can focus on the creative rather than the technical. That takes any guessing out of a photo shoot.
Creating a mood board and a detailed shot list can also save a lot of time. This helps align the rest of the team to the creative vision and gives the chef and food stylist a timeline for each dish. It always helps me to quickly reference the shot list when I’m getting distracted by all the mouth-watering dishes.
A successful photo shoot is a balance between planning and trusting my creative intuition. I can create every mood board and plan every shot, but in that moment, I always try to remain nimble and expect the unexpected. Some of the most beautiful photographs were created from capturing the surprise moments on a shoot.
Include an example of an unexpected moment.
Another great bonus of shooting food is the ability to move around the space. Experimenting with different backgrounds and light sources can create an entirely different mood. There have been many times where I’m standing on my trusty step stool hovering over a table to get the perfect over headshot. It’s like photography gymnastics, and we definitely get a workout.
IT’S ALL ABOUT THE TEAMWORK
Photography is not made up of one person and a camera. In my experience over the past 15 years, what makes a great photograph is a great team. I have been so fortunate at Motion to have the best team of women I could have imagined on our Tractor Supply Out Here Magazine recipes. We complement each other in every way, and we also have a ton of fun working together at each shoot.
Ashley Bernick, our editorial director, is the left brain to my very much creative right brain and keeps everything on track (and organized) during our recipe shoots. She helps produce the entire production from start to finish, coordinating every detail and managing the entire process. Maddie Wojtalewicz is our right-hand gal, stepping in to assist on food styling, acting as an incredible photography assistant, and organizing all of our props. Finally, Carly Sabev is our talented chef and food stylist, who not only creates all the beautiful dishes but does all of the prep work AND appears in all of the videos of the recipes.
Include crew shots, and behind the scene shots of our shoot.
Through this dynamic team, we bring to life reader-submitted recipes that have been passed down through generations of TSC readers. One of my favorite parts is reading some of the handwritten notes that come with each recipe, understanding the passion and courage it takes to put their love and hard work out into the world. It reminds me of my mom’s recipe box and how each of those brings back a piece of my childhood. To be able to recreate that feeling from each photoshoot is priceless.
JUST HAVE FUN
Behind the lens, I feel like I’m at home. It’s like an old friend helping me craft a story through a visual medium. Whether through the recipes we photograph or the people and places we are resonating with from our readership, it’s a journey like no other. In fact, it’s the journey that helps tell the story. My favorite part of every shoot with our team is how much fun we all have. Usually, my stomach hurts not from the food but from laughing so hard. Food is meant to be celebrated, and we do our best to honor that.

The White House on Tuesday morning blasted a Politico report from the night before saying a White House estimate found more people to be at risk of losing their health insurance under Republicans' planned healthcare overhaul than those in estimates released by the Congressional Budget Office.
Politico said it viewed a document on Monday outlining an internal White House examination of the potential impacts of the American Health Care Act and found that the number of Americans who would lose health-insurance coverage within 10 years could actually be closer to 26 million, not the 24 million projected by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office on Monday night.
The White House press secretary, Sean Spicer, blasted the Politico report in a tweet Tuesday morning, however, calling it "totally misleading."
"This story is totally misleading The projection was an estimate of what CBO would conclude," Spicer tweeted. "It was not a WH analysis."
According to Politico, the White House's specific estimates broke down to 17 million people losing Medicaid coverage, 6 million people losing coverage in the individual market, and 3 million losing coverage in employer-based plans.
Politico reported that the White House estimated that about 54 million Americans would be uninsured by 2026. That number would be nearly double the projections under the Affordable Care Act, the healthcare law better known as Obamacare.
Business Insider's Bob Bryan broke down the specifics of the CBO's report estimating the American Health Care Act's impacts. The nonpartisan agency's assessment released Monday night estimated that as many as 24 million more people would be uninsured under the GOP's replacement for Obamacare and that the federal budget deficit would shrink by more than $300 billion over the next decade.
This article has been updated to include comments made Tuesday by Sean Spicer.
Peter Jacobs contributed reporting to this story.

Sri Lanka faces economic challenges even as Colombo’s part engagement with Beijing has left huge debt
With Pakistan and Sri Lanka facing economic and political instability, it will be hard to miss the Chinese shadow lingering in the background.
Both countries, especially Pakistan have had a close relationship with Beijing. In fact, Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi was among the key guest at Pakistan Day on March 23 this year.
On Wednesday, at a daily Chinese foreign ministry presser, spokesperson Zhao Lijian pointed to the “all-weather strategic cooperative” partnership between the two countries saying, “history has proven time and again that China-Pakistan relations have always been unbreakable and rock-solid, no matter how the international landscape and their respective domestic situations may change”.
On China Pakistan economic corridor that gives China a key connectivity route to the Arabian sea, a spokesperson assured that its construction will not be “affected by the political situation in Pakistan.”
It is reported that a number of projects under CPEC have been shelved due to a lack of funds and the Pakistani rupee in a free fall. Gwadar, a key port in the project in restive Baluchistan province, saw a number of protests last year.
Interestingly, spokesperson Lijian while emphasising on “principle of non-interference in other countries’ internal affairs”, also advised that, “we sincerely hope that all parties in Pakistan will remain united and work together for national development and stability”.
Sri Lanka faces economic challenges even as Colombo’s part engagement with Beijing has left huge debt. New Delhi has emerged as a major supporter of the country extending support worth about $2.5 billion since January, which includes 2 lines of credit–$500 million for fuel and $ 1 billion for food, medicine and essential supplies.
Both lines of credit are in operation even as five consignments of diesel, petrol and aviation petrol have reached the Indian Ocean Island country. One stand-out is, that Indian support is seen without any strings, unlike Chinese “predatory practices”.
The Maldives is another country where attempts are being seen, by staying below the radar by China to form an anti-India narrative.
A social media campaign has been seen #IndiaOut linked to former President Abdulla Yameen whose closeness to Beijing is well known.
The social media campaign was started by and is sustained by the Chinese Communist Party, something which was evident in a photo leaked over social media in the last two weeks, which showed a sizeable presence of Chinese officials in one of the #IndiaOut campaigns.
A bill has been proposed with harsh penalties for anyone trying to jeopardise good relations with foreign ties, a key measure by the current Maldives government to rein in the campaign.
The proposed new law will attract a penalty of 20,000 Maldivian Rufiyaa, besides a jail term of six months or house arrest of one year for insinuating that the Maldives is under the military, economic or political control of another foreign nation.
The Maldives, under President Solih, has reaffirmed India’s first foreign policy multiple times. India has also emerged as a key development partner of the country.
India’s External Affairs minister Dr S Jaishankar during his recent visit to the country announced and inaugurated a number of projects in the country including the police academy in Addu.

Democratic Senate nominee John Fetterman returned to the campaign trail last month after a mid-May stroke.
Since returning to the campaign trail last month after a mid-May stroke, Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, the Democrat vying for the state’s open Senate seat, sometimes speaks haltingly to voters — pausing in the middle of sentences and slurring his words.
Otherwise, he has said, he has “no physical limits” and no issues with memory or language comprehension. In an interview on MSNBC last week, Fetterman, who works with a speech therapist, said he was “expecting to have a full recovery over the next several months.”
But Republicans have seized on his public appearances and his post-stroke behavior to suggest that he is not fit to serve in the Senate, a claim outside medical experts reject as reductive.
“It’s just not possible to be an effective senator if you cannot communicate,” retiring Republican Sen. Pat Toomey, whose seat Fetterman hopes to fill, said Tuesday at a press conference with Dr. Mehmet Oz, the GOP nominee and Fetterman’s opponent.

Rick Santorum, a former Republican senator from Pennsylvania, was even more blunt in his criticism last week on Newsmax: “John Fetterman is simply not capable of doing this job. He’s hiding in his basement, he’s not able to talk, he’s not able to process.”
MORE: Pennsylvania’s John Fetterman ramps back up campaign schedule with Hamptons fundraiser
The scrutiny of and questions about Fetterman’s health underscores the stakes of his race against Oz, which could decide who controls Congress’ upper chamber next year. Major politicians suffering health challenges mid-campaign — when they would normally be stumping for voters, night and day — is also relatively rare, and Fetterman’s campaign has been careful of overexposing him while he recovers.
His aides did not respond to requests to make his medical team available for this story. He has, however, previously responded directly to the GOP jabs at his recovery: “I know politics can be nasty, but even then, I could *never* imagine ridiculing someone for their health challenges,” he tweeted in August.
“Anyone who’s seen John speak knows that while he’s still recovering, he’s more capable of fighting for [Pennsylvania] than Dr. Oz will ever be,” a spokesman said earlier this week.

Child Disability and Paternal Involvement: An Examination of Nonresidential Father-Child Engagement and Financial Support among Children with Disability
Maryhelen D. MacInnes, Michigan State University
Carrie E. Spearin, Brown University
This study explores the impact of child disability on the level of engagement between nonresidential fathers and their children. Estimates suggest that a considerable proportion of children under the age of 18 in the United States (approximately 12%) have a disabling condition. Moreover, father-child relationships are immensely significant to the well-being of children both in the short and long-run. Yet despite the significance of this relationship, few studies have explored whether this relationship is affected by the disability status of the child. Using data from wave 1 of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, we explore whether nonresidential fathers' payment of child support and contact with their children are affected by their children's disability status. Additionally, we investigate the joint effect of child disability and support payments on the level of engagement.

Star Wars: Another Choice.
Toryal looked down at the sleeping twi’lek form next to him and smiled softly as he heard the sound of an infant’s soft cries at the other side of their small bed. Vette stirred slightly in her sleep at the sound, Toryal smiled again as he softly kissed the top of her head and got to his feet and headed over to the small crib that was next to them and looked down at the crying form of his and Vette’s child. “Shhh…it’s alright, Anris.” He said in a gentle voice as he gently picked up his month old daughter and began to gently rock her in his arms.
He smiled down at her as a soft giggle came from the child as he continued to gently rock her. “Don’t worry…we’ll reach our destination soon. And then a whole new world will be open to you.” He said quietly as a small tear appeared in his left eye and rolled down his cheek. He knew what was coming would not be easy for either him or Vette but they had agreed: It was the best chance their child had for survival. He looked down at the wide green eyes and blue skin she had inherited from her mother and the single small horn she had inherited from Toryal. It hadn’t been an exceedingly difficult birth but of course there had been a few complications but they had managed to get through it with flying colors. Both Toryal and Vette hadn’t thought they could have a child due to the fact that they belonged to two very different species but it seemed the force had decided otherwise.
They had been forced to keep the pregnancy secret from everyone outside the crew of course, Toryal knew he could trust them all with his life but the Sith Empire wasn’t known for accepting aliens in its ranks and alien hybrids even less. Both Toryal and Vette knew that his position as the Emperor’s Wrath would keep his various enemies at bay for a short time but not forever. Once she entered the Sith Academy she was going to almost certainly be killed by a fellow student or one of Toryal’s many enemies once she was beyond his reach.
He felt the bed shift slightly as Vette got up from the bed and looked down over Toryal’s shoulders at their little girl and he felt a few soft tears hit his neck. “It’s not fair. We shouldn’t have to do this.” She whispered sadly.
“I know. But we agreed. It’s the best chance she has for survival. If she goes to the academy it’s almost certain she’ll be killed or turned into something dark and twisted.” Toryal said quietly as he continued rocking Anris. Vette nodded and placed a soft kiss on the top of Anris’s forehead. “I checked the computer a few hours earlier. We should be approaching the rendezvous point in a few minutes.” Toryal said quietly as he handed Anris to Vette and headed to the shuttle’s cockpit.
Vette looked down at her little girl and let the tears run down her face as she kissed her again on the forehead. “Remember Anris…Mommy will always love you.” She whispered as she felt the shuttle drop out of hyperspace.
Toryal’s voice was soft and sad and tears were freely running down his face as he came back down into their little cabin.
“It’s time Vette.”
“I know.” Vette whispered as they felt the shuttle shudder once as it docked with what was most certainly a larger ship. The two figures stood in front of the docking hatch and Toryal placed both of his lightsabers on the ground as Vette placed her twin blaster pistols on the ground as well to make sure their contact didn’t think this was an elaborate trap.
The docking hatch slowly opened and a small cloud of cold air accompanied the sound of another hatch opening. A hooded figure could be seen with a lightsaber strapped to his belt. The figure threw back his hood to reveal a bald head with kind blue eyes. He was wearing the plain robes of someone who didn’t seem to want to be noticed and once Toryal watched as he slowly took the lightsaber off his belt and laid it down on the floor. The figure looked at Toryal and Vette and his eyes looked at the child Vette carried in her arms.
“Emperor’s Wrath.” The figure said simply as a greeting.
“Hero of Tython.” Toryal greeted in return.
Rothor, who was otherwise known as the Hero of Tython to many of the Jedi after he had defeated Darth Angral slowly stepped forward and watched as the tears rolled freely down Toryal’s and Vette’s faces and for a brief moment he didn’t see two imperials with no options left: but rather he saw two parents who were doing what they saw as their only choice.
Rothor had received the message from a spy in imperial space four days ago with a short message detailing what was happening and coordinates. For a brief time, Rothor thought that it could be a trap until he had received another message from the republic spy. The only item he had received was a holoimage of a Zabrak and Twi’lek carrying a small child that clearly had Zabrak and Twi’lek features.
It was at that moment that Rothor had decided to take the risk.
He could see the Twi’lek woman’s face was nearly soaked with tears as she handed her daughter to the Jedi who quietly and gently took her. “I give you my word, she will be treated well. No harm will come to your child as long as I live.” Rothor said gently as he looked down at the child who seemed to have fallen asleep.
“I will hold you to your word Jedi.” Toryal said quietly as the two parents took a last look at their child. “We didn’t have much time to prepare this, but when she is old enough to understand…please give her these.” The Zabrak said quietly as he handed two items to the Jedi. One was a small holographic data recorder with what appeared to be logged holographic projections…and the other was a small holo-photo that showed an image that nearly brought a tear to the Jedi’s eye. It was a holographic image of Toryal and Vette with large smiles as Vette held the baby in her arms.
A small beeping sound began to emit from a nearby control panel. Toryal turned to look at it. “We need to leave. The window of opportunity is closing.”
“I understand.” Rothor said gently as he turned and hurried towards the hatch even as Toryal and Vette turned and headed for the bridge of the small ship.
Vette turned to look at Toryal as they began to enter coordinates that would allow them to rendezvous with their crew aboard the Fury
“Did we do the right thing?” She asked quietly as the small ship entered hyperspace.
“We did. If she stayed with us, she would have eventually have been killed. We have too many enemies for it to have ended any other way.”
Vette turned to look out cockpit windows.
“You’re right.” She said quietly. “There was no other way.”
Remember Anris, what we did we did so you would survive,” The holographic image of Toryal said quietly. “I had far too many enemies in the Empire for you to live a long or normal life. I only hope the Jedi can give you a safer life than you could ever have with us. You will always be my daughter and your mother and I will always love you.”
Anris looked down at the holographic image of what she was told was her mother and father along with an infant she had to assume was herself as a baby. Tears filled her eyes as she looked down at the image and then up at the Jedi Master had delivered to her.
“Master Rothor…I…I don’t know what to say.” She said quietly as Rothor looked down at her. “I was born a sith?” She asked in astonishment. “No.” Rothor said quietly. “Your Mother and Father never trained you in the ways of the Sith. As soon as you were born they knew that they didn’t have much time to get you to safety. They came to the decision that the Republic and the Jedi could keep you safe.”
“Are they…Are they still alive?”
“As far as I know yes. “
Anris let the tears flow down her face. “I can’t believe it…my parents were Sith…but they gave me up to the Jedi so I could survive and have a better life.”
“Remember Anris. They loved you with all their heart. Don’t ever forget that.”
Anris looked down at the holo-image and smiled despite the tears.
“Maybe one day…when there is peace with the Sith Empire…maybe I can meet them.”
Rothor placed his hand gently on her shoulder.
“There are always possibilities Anris. And I think that one day…you will meet them.

Durham manager Charlie Montoyo could see Tim Beckham was on the verge of a breakout. He could hear it too.
"I know the ball sounds different off his bat," the Bulls skipper said prior to Tuesday's Triple-A National Championship. "I want to say it was after the All-Star break. I could see it. I could feel it. I could hear it."
Montoyo's eyes and ears weren't deceiving him. Ever since the midsummer classic, his 23-year-old shortstop has emerged as one of Durham's best hitters, and with Tampa Bay's then-top prospect Wil Myers promoted to the Majors around that time, the breakout has been conveniently timed.
The manager tabbed Beckham -- ranked 16th in the Rays organization -- as his No. 3 hitter for Tuesday's title game, and he said that was something Beckham earned with his second-half performance.
Beckham's number since the All-Star Break have been exceptional for a shortstop. He's hit .291 with a much-improved 29-to-18 strikeout-to-walk ratio in that time. His on-base percentage climbed 43 points to .371 and his OPS reached .781.
Those contributions were critical for Durham as it fought down the stretch to grab the International League South title, and Beckham continued to be a factor in the postseason. The first overall pick from the 2008 Draft hit .290 in the postseason with a .740 OPS, leading all International League postseason participants with nine hits.
This season is Beckham's third with at least a little time spent in Triple-A. The shortstop reached Durham in 2011, hitting .255 with a .744 OPS in a 24-game stint. After serving a 50-game suspension for violating the Minor League Drug Prevention and Treatment Program to begin 2012, Beckham returned to the Bulls and hit .256 with a .686 OPS in 72 games.
It's apparent to Montoyo that he's polished his game this season, and that new level of consistency is showing up in the box score. Apparently, he's nearly convinced the folks in Tampa Bay's front office, too -- the Rays are reportedly considering adding Beckham to its roster this September, according to Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times.
Montoyo thinks Beckham's ready to get his shot. He's seen the improvements offensively, and is a believer in his defense too.
"He could go to the big leagues tomorrow and play short," Montoyo said. "He might get bigger [and have to move to another spot] because he's just a kid. Right now, he could play shortstop in the big leagues."
"I'm very happy with my performance on defense this year," Beckham said. "I had a couple of stretches where I scuffled a little bit, but that's the game of baseball. Everybody scuffles at times. Everybody looks at how you respond to that, how you respond to the struggles.
"I just feel like no struggle, no success."
It's a mentality that has served Beckham well. As MLB.com's Jonathan Mayo wrote in the preseason about the shortstop: "Unless you become a superstar, it's nearly impossible to live up to the expectations that come with being a No. 1 overall pick."
Beckham may have lost some of his luster, but he still looked like a player who could contribute in the Majors in the near future. He's only strengthened that position with his performance this season.
"No one's perfect, man," he said. "You can strive for perfection and that's what you do every time you take the field.
"You take the field for practice, you take the field for the game, you want to go about it in a professional manner. You want to go about it in a way to get better. You learn something every day, and if you don't, at least try to."
Beckham isn't shy about his confidence. He declined to address the report that he may be Major League-bound prior to Tuesday's game, but even if it doesn't come this month, it likely won't be long until the 23-year-old gets his chance.
"All of my game can get better and it has gotten better. It's going to continue to get better every year," he said. "I know that.
"I have the confidence in myself and I'm not going to lose the confidence in myself. You can call it cocky, you can call it confident, you can call it whatever you want, but when I spike up, when I get in between those white lines, I want to feel like I'm the best person on the field and I want to feel like my team is going to win that game."

Climate change, rainforest destruction and the next pandemic.
Climate change is supercharging the risk that already exists from another form of environmental destruction – uncontrolled agricultural development in tropical rainforests.
Rainforests are the most biodiverse places on earth. They teem with roiling life, the cycles of life and death faster and more complex than anywhere else. For at least the past century, intrusions into these forests have let loose scores of new microorganisms that can causes infectious disease in humans. Many of these originated in animals and require an intermediary species to transfer the pathogen to humans.
And so we have Ebola and the other haemorrhagic fevers, the respiratory viruses like SARS and Covid-19, and new immunosuppressive infections like HIV.
As climates change, some of these microbes can thrive in areas which were once inhospitable to them and to their vector animals. It’s true of new infections and ancient ones, including malaria and dengue. Already, there have been outbreaks of both in this country. As the range of the mosquito species extends, malaria and dengue threaten to become endemic in northern Australia. Whether that range will eventually extend as far as Brisbane or even Sydney largely depends on what happens with the climate.
Trouble in the jungle
Decades of warnings from people working with emerging diseases – the virus hunters – were ignored, with appalling results. Most governments, including ours, had done almost nothing to prepare.
In 1952, land reform in Bolivia ousted rich cattle barons and gave the land to poor farmers. But when the former owners left, the river steamships – and any means of getting beef out and other items in – went too. So the forests had to be cleared to provide space to grow things other than beef.
In doing so, they disturbed the habitat of a field mouse and provided it with a huge new supply of food – grain crops. The mouse population exploded and hordes of mice invaded local villages, bringing with them a new virus. And so began the first epidemic of Bolivian haemorrhagic fever, which had a mortality rate of between five and 30 per cent. About 20 percent of the local population died before the source was identified and prevention measures could begin.
|As humans and livestock encroach on tropical forests, disease risk soars|
Three decades earlier and half a world away, another virus – this time infecting chimpanzees in equatorial Africa – mutated and jumped into the local human population, who lived partly on bushmeat, including from great apes. There it remained, causing local disease and deaths but unnoticed by the rest of the world, until population pressure and commercial development opened up the area to the outside.
That virus was finally noticed not in Africa but in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco in 1981. It became known as the human immunodeficiency virus – HIV – and has since killed over 35 million people. Even now, according to UNAIDS estimates, almost 700,000 die each year.
The list of new infectious diseases that have crossed from animals to humans – they’re called zoonoses – is long and deadly. The common factor binding most of them is that they are the product of human activity blindly transforming natural environments, from the massive destruction of forests in the Amazon to road-building in Africa and Asia.
As the global population grows, the need for more space and food means the remaining natural world is invaded, often with unpredicted and catastrophic results – not just for the animals and plants directly affected but for the entire human population. In the past half-century, many hundreds of millions of people have been lifted out of poverty, but as diets change from plant to animal protein, there is a cost.
According to the United Nations Environment Program, meat production has risen since 1960 by 260 per cent, milk production by 90 per cent and eggs by 340 per cent. To meet this demand, vast areas of biodiverse tropical rainforest have been devastated, upsetting the ecological balance and bringing humans into contact with wild animals and their diseases. Intensive livestock farming of pigs, cattle and poultry provide incubators for zoonotic disease.
Hunting of wildlife and the sale of live animals has ignited many diseases which either infect humans or destroy vast numbers of livestock, or both. In West Africa, highly profitable commercial wildlife hunting has increased massively in the past decade alone. Bushmeat is becoming a luxury product.
SARS-CoV-2 -- the virus that causes Covid-19 -- almost certainly crossed from an animal vector into humans at the Wuhan market in China. It, like many other such infectious diseases, will be with us now, probably, forever. The only infectious disease human have ever been able to eradicate is smallpox -- and these fast-evolving viruses are far, far harder to fight.
Covid-19 demonstrates how lethally unprepared most of the world has been to confront the pandemics we ought to have expected.
Climate change and infectious diseases
The galloping pace of climate change adds powerfully to disease risk. Despite being ignored by many governments including our own, this trend too has been going on for many decades.
Take a look at this graph from the Journal of the Royal Society Interface. It shows how the frequency of major outbreaks of zoonotic diseases have accelerated -- increasing sevenfold in four decades. And as the number of outbreaks rises, so too does the number of patients in each one.
|Global numbers of zoonotic outbreaks with a minimum of 100 cases|
Researchers from the University of Georgia in the United States wrote recently:
Dengue suitability is predicted to increase mostly in lowland areas in the Western Pacific region and the Eastern Mediterranean region, and in highland areas in the Americas, as previously proposed. Shifts towards higher altitudes suggest that outbreaks can occur in areas where people might be immunologically naive and public health infrastructure unprepared. This situation could have major impacts on populations, public health systems, and economies with no previous experience in managing these diseases.
Australia has so far also been spared from the long-standing malaria pandemic, which kills at least half a million people a year through the world's tropical belt. But it is endemic in Papua New Guinea and there have been frequent, though limited, outbreaks in the Torres Strait involving imported cases. The Lancet researchers found:
Our findings offer strong support for a northward shift of the malaria-epidemic belt in North America, central northern Europe, and northern Asia ... We predict a northward shift of the dengue-epidemic belt over central northern Europe and northern USA because of increases in suitability, echoing findings from other groups.
... which is not good news for Australia, with the disease already on the doorstep.
Epidemics ancient and modern
Like the more recent pathogens, the malaria parasite and the dengue virus also emerged when humans intruded into previously uninhabited environments. The first recorded case of a probable dengue fever outbreak was in China around 1,800 years ago, though it probably originated in Africa. Dengue became a much wider problem with the expansion of the slave trade in the early modern period, and with the economic and environmental disruptions during and following the Second World War, became a major scourge afflicting the world's poorest and most populous countries. By the 1970s, dengue had become a major cause of child mortality; and its most serious complications, dengue haemorrhagic fever and dengue shock syndrome, also spread.
Plasmodium falciparum, the parasite causing malaria, has existed for at least 30 million years, most probably in gorillas and perhaps other apes. It spread in the human population only about 10,000 years ago, when farming-based permanent settlements heralded the neolithic period. Malaria was a serious problem in the ancient Greek and Roman worlds, and in renaissance Italy where it killed four members of the Medici family in Florence.
When the slave trade extended to the Americas following the Spanish conquests, malaria came along for the ride, infecting Aztecs and Incas for the first time. In the United States, it boosted the economic reliance on slave labour in the southern states: west Africans were more resistant to the disease than most other humans.
Right now, a major concern for Australia and the world is the continuing development of respiratory diseases from southern China. Of all the globally spreading strains of H3N2 influenza between 2000 and 2010, 87% originated there. So, of course, did SARS and Covid-19.
As Covid has shown us, Australia is ill-prepared for the inevitable new epidemics and pandemics. Our health and hospital system is so over-stretched at normal times that it can only cope with cases through cancelling treatment of other patients, such as those needing 'elective' surgery. That is not a long-term strategy, but coping with climate change will demand substantial new investment in health and hospital infrastructure, training of doctors, nurses and allied health professionals. We need to deal with the cost barriers which increasingly ration health care to those who can afford it. And we must improve -- vastly improve -- our capacity to deliver timely and adequate access to vaccines and drugs.
So far, there is little sign that our current leaders are listening.

We know D.C. Get our free newsletter to stay in the know.
The Pigskins Shame Spiral is an occasional feature tracking developments related to the name of D.C.’s beloved football team.
Who? Conservative political commentator and failed presidential candidate Pat Buchanan.
Change the name? Hell no!
Why? There’s no crying in Indian country. “Hurt? Native Americans are ‘hurt’ by the [Pigskins]’ name?” Buchanan writes. “Years ago, I recall hearing a line I thought a magnificent tribute to the toughness, bravery and perseverance of these peoples that the Europeans encountered and fought on American soil for centuries. ‘There is no whine in the Indian,’ the writer said. What he meant was that these were people who stood, fought and died, and did not whimper…. Maybe just tell the Oneida crowd we know how excruciatingly painful it must be to have to hear ‘Hail to the [Pigskins]!’ but are confident they have the moxie and the manhood to deal with it.” (It’s a quote from a 1955 Zora Neale Hurston letter to the Orlando Sentinel responding to Brown v. Board of Education, though Buchanan doesn’t mention her.) Also, for some reason Buchanan opens his column with a recollection of the scene at Griffith Stadium as the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. What that has to do with the name of the team that played there is never really made clear.
Shame Spiral rating: Shoulder shrug. Buchanan takes his defense of the name past where even team owner Dan Snyder‘s public rhetoric has gone; this argument boils down to, “Shut up and take it.” Both Buchanan and Snyder, though, wrap themselves in nostalgia as they wax poetic about how the name is really just a tribute to the fighting spirit of people whose extermination was once the nation’s public policy goal. “Washington was another city then, a deeply rooted city, not the cosmopolitan world capital of today where our multicultural elites all seem to come from somewhere else,” Buchanan writes, referring back to the 1940s, when his love for the Pigskins was forged. It is worth noting, of course, that that “deeply rooted” D.C. was also legally segregated. At any rate, an endorsement from Buchanan on an issue of racial sensitivity may not be the help Snyder was looking for.

Scottie Pippen, the legendary basketball player, will release his first non-fungible token collection on December 20th. The collection, called SP33 Collection, will contain two types of NFTs: metaverse-ready sneakers and mystery boxes, which will contain prizes down the road. Pippen has explored the Web3 space of late and says this collection will bring people into his world on a “personal level.”
In addition to the NFTs, the SP33 Collection will have perks for certain holders. One lucky person will receive a “hometown” tour with Pippen, including dinner. Two NFT holders, along with their two guests, will play a round of golf with the basketball legend. In addition to those experiential perks, 33 holders will receive a pair of Pippen-worn sneakers.
For the drop, Pippen has partnered with Orange Comet, a Web3 entertainment and technology company. Along with Pippen’s NFT drop, Orange Comet has worked on various Walking Dead launches, as well as Anthony Hopkins Web3 debut called “The Eternal Collection.” All holders of Pippen’s NFT collection will receive allowlist access to Orange Comet’s Corrupted digital wearables launch in 2023.
The SP33 collection sneakers have a unique inspiration source: real-life sneakers that Pippen has worn in games throughout his career. As Orange Comet writes on the collection’s website, Pippen has a love of sneakers, a love that grew alongside “his trophy collection” and the accolades he accumulated throughout his career. In addition to being metaverse-ready, the sneakers will come with animations.
Neither Orange Comet nor Pippen have shared the minting price for an SP33 NFT. One thing is certain, however: users will mint the NFTs on the Ethereum blockchain. Orange Comet writes on its website that it will use Chain Link VRF technology to ensure the randomness of the allowlist members selected for the drop.
Sports Industry Bets Big on Web3
While many industries have entered Web3, few have done so with as much enthusiasm as the sports industry. Here at Rarity Sniper, we have written countless stories about athletes and sports leagues taking advantage of the next iteration of the internet. Here are three.
First, three weeks ago, Cristiano Ronaldo announced he was releasing his first non-fungible token collection. The NFT collection, called CR7 NFT, officially dropped on November 18th and featured various rarity tiers. Those tiers came with a myriad of perks, including signed Ronald merchandise and access to future CR7 NFT drops.
Next, four weeks ago, the Professional Fighters League shared that it was creating the “PFL Metaverse.” To do so, it is partnering with NFT platform SportsIcon. The goal of the PFL Metaverse is to build a virtual world around the PFL and its fighters. It aligns with the goal of SportsIcon, which is to connect fans closer to their favorite sports.
Lastly, five months ago, Gatorade launched its first NFT collection: a celebration of the best high school athletes in the United States. According to a press release at the time, the NFT launch would happen on the platform OneOf and happen in two drops. There was a charitable aspect as well, with all primary sales and 8% of secondary sales going to the organization Good Sports.
Scottie Pippen’s venture into Web3 is big news for space and shows many athletes are still innovating within the field. Here at Rarity Sniper, we’ll pay close attention for further developments in the story.

Baccarat Strategy and Tips
Baccarat can be an Italian game that is around for years and years. This simple card game is popular with many players because it’s easy to learn. A new player can play baccarat at almost any casino from strictly online casinos to brick and mortar casinos. This is because baccarat is a game which can be played by almost anyone.
Every baccarat deal in baccarat involves a new player, called the banker, and a player referred to as the dealer. Baccarat is played in two rounds. The initial round usually consists of the banker dealing out four cards face down and the dealer counting them. After counting the cards the banker then deals out another four cards face down. This is followed by a third card being dealt to the dealer who has it face up.
To carry out this, however, the dealer has to be either near the dealer or behind him. When doing so, the dealer must count as many cards as you possibly can. The dealer then discards one card from the hand that is dealt out and then discards another card. In baccarat, as in lots of card games, there’s usually an optional fourth card called the king which allows the banker to know the exact number of remaining cards. The effect is that you will see a complete of eight or nine cards in each of the two rounds of baccarat.
Because the highest rollers in baccarat are dealt a minimum of three cards, there are quite often when baccarat could be won without rolling the complete deck. The players need to have good, consistent hands to make money. This is exactly why baccarat is played by high rollers. By playing 더블업카지노 baccarat under these conditions, the high rollers can easily play it without rolling the complete deck, plus they are still guaranteed to make money because they could have beaten the average player. For the casual player, it’s important never to get too excited once you visit a baccarat streak because you’re probably playing for money. Instead, wait until your next baccarat game to bet because at most games, it will be easy to walk away with an increase of than you started with.
Not only is it a casino game of skill, baccarat can be worth 1 per cent. It really is considered an illegal game using parts of the world, however the law doesn’t seem to apply to everyone. As such, baccarat is still legal and is usually a preferred game among some locals. If the neighborhood casinos prohibit baccarat due to its unlicensed status, then your player might want to instead play another card game such as blackjack or roulette. In addition, since baccarat is not officially regulated, you can find no set monetary limits on how much a new player can win nor do they might need a player specifically bet on baccarat.
Once a player has chosen a game, he or she needs to select a baccarat wager. The type of wager, a player can invest baccarat depends on the sort of baccarat. There are four forms of baccarat; you can find the flat wager, five-card draw, ring wager, and the fan system. With the flat wager, players are required to either match the cards or place a pre-determined amount about the same card. Players may also choose to wager a set amount of cash on all cards, or they could elect to split the pot between the first two players who finish with exactly the same amount of cards. The fifth type of baccarat is named the fan system and involves baccarat players spreading out the amount of chips they have earned over the course of the game evenly between themselves.
Baccarat is used two hands. In the game, players use a single card for playing. For instance, should you have three of a kind, you would place your hand in to the middle of one’s two hands and then make a throw to the board with all your cards to see which hand will have the most successful chances of being dealt an absolute card. If your throw makes the hand which has the best chances at winning, then your hand is considered a winner.
Whenever a player wins a baccarat game, he / she takes back the baccarat that was won along with any chips which were won as well. However, before players can ante up, they must first discard any cards they have drawn. Players may place some of their regular chips into the bank, and then they may start betting. Prior to starting the betting, it is important for players to keep in mind that baccarat is not a casino game where luck works. Although it can be done to be lucky and also have a winning hand, there are also many baccarat strategies that will assist you win more regularly.

The Internet of Things will challenge the status quo of how IT and development organizations operate. Or will it? Certainly the fog layer of IoT requires special insights about data ontology, security and transactional integrity. But the developmental challenges are the same: People, Process and Platform and how we integrate our thinking to solve complicated problems. In his session at 19th Cloud Expo, Craig Sproule, CEO of Metavine, demonstrated how to move beyond today's coding paradigm and sh...

More and more brands have jumped on the IoT bandwagon. We have an excess of wearables – activity trackers, smartwatches, smart glasses and sneakers, and more that track seemingly endless datapoints. However, most consumers have no idea what “IoT” means. Creating more wearables that track data shouldn't be the aim of brands; delivering meaningful, tangible relevance to their users should be. We're in a period in which the IoT pendulum is still swinging. Initially, it swung toward "smart for smar...

ENKI Eco-Engineered Goods focuses on creating sustainably made, botanically dyed bags, garments, and accessories that are earth- and people-friendly.
Inspired by the idea of beautifully crafted goods that don't harm us or the planet, Bali’s extraordinary creativity, and an edgy design philosophy, each Enki Eco piece has been ethically crafted by Javanese artisans using premium, long-lasting, heavy-duty canvas that's been 100% naturally coloured from the bark and leaves of sustainably grown trees. This hands-on process, combined with using botanicals to dye, gives the material an incredible vintage texture and stone-washed look that not only gets better with age but also makes every piece completely unique. There are no two alike.
"The thing that I love about canvas is that it doesn't hurt animals; it looks and feels incredible; and like a great pair of jeans, the material gets better with wear and tear."

Shares of Emeryville-based Onyx Pharmaceuticals surged 5 percent after the company said it will pay as much $851 million to buy Proteolix in a deal that could help boost its product potential.
The move will allow Onyx to gain South San Francisco-based Proteolix’s cancer drug candidate carfilzomib, which is a drug being tested as a treatment for multiple myeloma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and solid tumors.
“I think this really represents a significant investment by Onyx, because it’s acquiring a firm in Proteolix with quite an impressive drug candidate,” said Travis Miller, a spokesman for South San Francisco-based nonprofit BayBio. “Onyx is finding the right partnerships in an era where mergers and acquisitions are driving innovation in this industry.”
Onyx will pay $276 million upfront for privately held Proteolix, in the process gaining Proteolix’s cancer drug candidate carfilzomib. Onyx will pay another $40 million next year if carfilzomib reaches a development milestone, and will pay an additional $535 million if carfilzomib is approved in the United States and Europe. That includes a $170 million payment if the Food and Drug Administration decides to conduct a fast review of the drug.
“Onyx’s proven track record and commercial resources in oncology are impressive,” said John Scarlett, president and chief executive of Proteolix. “We are excited to join forces and together… achieve our ultimate objective of helping patients.”
Carfilzomi is being tested as a treatment for multiple myeloma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and solid tumors. Its drugs are designed to trigger cancer cell death with minimal damage to the rest of the patient’s body.
“There is a tremendous need for new agents in multiple myeloma that can extend and improve the lives of patients and be used in combination with existing therapies,” said Todd Yancey, vice president of clinical development at Onyx.
The deal is expected to close in the fourth quarter. Onyx, which makes the liver and kidney cancer drug Nexavar, said the purchase will help it expand into blood cancers. It estimated the market for those diseases is worth $16 billion.
Shares of Onyx climbed 5 percent, or $1.36, to close at $28.26. It has about 200 employees with a market capitalization of $1.61 billion.
