Chocolate cake with a simple vanilla frosting – this “wacky cake” recipe, which uses no butter, eggs or milk, was popular during WWII when rationing was prevalent.
Last month, I made Chocolate Dump-It Cake, which is a one-pot cake recipe dating back to the 1930’s or 1940’s, and it has quickly become one of the most popular recipes I’ve shared recently. A reader left a comment on that post about “wacky cake”, and another reader, Nancy, emailed me her family’s recipe for this one-pan, light-as-air chocolate cake.
The premise of the cake – the reason it’s “wacky” – is that there is no butter, no eggs and no milk in the cake. Everything is mixed together right in the pan, using only a fork. After doing some reading, I found that this was a popular recipe during World War II because of the rationing of those ingredients. Those ladies knew what they were doing, because this is a phenomenal cake! My family couldn’t believe the cake lacked all of those typical cake ingredients, and happily devoured it, commenting over and over about how delicious it was.
This cake really could not be any easier to throw together – grab your favorite 8-inch square baking dish, put all of the dry ingredients in there and mix together with a fork.
Then, make three wells and add the vinegar, vanilla extract and oil into each… Pour water over the entire mixture and stir with a fork until well combined.
Voila! Ready for the oven!
Nancy’s recipe said to top the cooled cake with your favorite vanilla frosting, so I did just that. It’s my standard vanilla that I use for any vanilla-topped cupcakes (like the homemade funfetti cupcakes); I was running low on vanilla extract, so I used vanilla bean paste in its place, and oh my! The flavor and all of those little bean specks – loved it!
The reviews were unanimous among my family – everyone loved the cake. It turned out wonderfully light, moist and full of chocolate flavor; the vanilla frosting was a great contrast and a big hit.
This recipe deserves to be in everyone’s recipe box – it’s so easy, super quick, and makes a wonderfully delicious chocolate cake suitable for any dessert occasion!
Watch How to Make Wacky Cake:
For the Cake:
- 1½ cups (187.5 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (200 g) sugar
- 4 tbsp (4) (rounded) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 cup (250 ml) water
For the Vanilla Frosting:
- 1 cup (227 g) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 2½ cups (300 g) powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
- Make the Cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In an ungreased glass or ceramic 8-inch square pan (do not use metal), add the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt, and stir to combine with a fork.
- Make three wells in the mixture and to those wells add the vinegar, vanilla extract and vegetable oil. Pour the water over the entire mixture and mix with a fork until thoroughly combined and no dry ingredients remain.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 26 to 30 minutes. Place the pan on a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
- Make the Vanilla Frosting: Using the wire whisk attachment of your stand mixer, whip the butter on medium-high speed for 5 minutes, stopping to scrape the bowl once or twice. Reduce the speed to low and gradually add the powdered sugar. Once all of the powdered sugar is incorporated, increase the speed to medium-high and add the vanilla, mixing until incorporated. Whip at medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes, scraping the bowl as needed.
- Using a spatula, spread the vanilla frosting evenly over the top of the cake. The cake can be stored, covered with plastic wrap, at room temperature, for up to 4 days.

Shenny: Dolls Playing With Dolls
My Fellow Shennyer:
Twice since the last Shenny, I watched the Love Boat episode starring Andy Warhol. Are you familiar? A year before he died, Warhol played himself on an episode where he went around the boat taking polaroids of women to choose one whose portrait he’d paint. Turns out the mom from Happy Days (married in this episode to the dad from Happy Days / original Cabot Cove sheriff on Murder, She Wrote) was once a Factory denizen named Marina Del Ray, and she spends much of her trip hiding from Andy and his entourage lest her husband learn her secret.
I won’t spoil the episode for you, but there’s a B-plot where Andy Griffith and Cloris Leachman look for a stamp worth millions of dollars.
Why twice? We’ve had 2 houseguests who both requested it. Not like they had to twist our arms. When your relationship to TV is as troubled as mine (watching it is the thing I’ve done the most in my life, other than sleep), bad TV shows are healthy. They highlight how strange it is to look at faces of people prettier and famous-er than us, whose problems always get happily tidied up.
Where am I going with this? I haven’t read a book in over a week, sick as I’ve been. Next on the list (owing to a recommendation from Endorsed Item No. 2 below), are the diaries of Lou Sullivan, who wrote ‘I wanna look like what I am but don’t know what someone like me looks like.’
I can read that sentence a million times.

1. Life Without Buildings’ Any Other City (2000)
Last time I wrote about duration in art, and lately I’ve been thinking about repetition. Here are the opening lyrics to ‘Let’s Get Out’, my favorite track on this record I just discovered, the band’s only release: ‘Ting ting / Look around / Just information / In the leaves, in the leaves, in the leaves, in the leaves, in the leaves / Ting ting / Look around / Just information / In the leaves, in the leaves, in the leaves / L-G-O, L-G-O / Chi sign // I still believe in getting low I still believe / History of half-past ten / Calling you I mix two numbers up / I mix them up / Two numbers calling you / I mix them up / Two numbers go’ Then it repeats much of that all over again, carried by the band’s driving guitar lines (think laid-back Sleater-Kinney):
I love that the mania of singer Sue Tompkins’s vocals is only noticed in retrospect, dissolving as they do into the instrumentation. Music is rhythm and rhythm is repetition, so it makes sense that it can not only bear lots of repeats but excels from them (think every bassline you’ve ever loved). In line also with last week’s Shenny on vision, I’d love to write an essay that did to my mind what a Life Without Buildings song does to my body. The problem: if an essay leads you through the process of a thought, there’s nothing more frustrating than being returned to an idea again and again. Who writes essays with good repeats?
2. Kevin Brazil’s ‘Whatever Happened to Queer Happiness’ (Granta, 2020)
‘When identity is bought at the cost of solidarity with others, that individuality is forever mortgaged to unhappiness.’ What a smart thing I’ve never heard anyone describe before, about one of the traps we queers fall into, given that our first act of identification comes always in opposition to our hetero family members. Brazil’s essay is a must-read for anybody writing memoir, with lots to say against memoir not exactly as a form, but as the form that outlines our individuality by tracing a history of suffering. Instead, Brazil’s essay (which has just been expanded to a book) is a call for memoir as ‘a form in which the self is created by its openness to others.’ For this is where queer happiness is found, in the connections queers make after we find one another, outside the consanguineous family. As a bonus, he comes up with a useful variation on the Bechdel Test: ‘is there a scene where two queer friends appear without, and without discussing, their family trauma or their fucked-up lovers?’ Amazing how many celebrated Books About Queer Lives fail this test. Read the entire essay here.
Dolls Playing With Dolls
Last night, in a dream, I had to disguise myself—or perhaps I got to? I don’t recall the circumstances, but I recall the person I transformed to: she had a heavy ankle-length grey woolen skirt, black sweater (maybe a turtleneck), and a black cardigan that hung down below her hips. She wore a wide-brimmed black hat, not unlike Lydia Deetz’s:
But she wasn’t goth. The thing I remember most was her hair—big, thick, long, and messy—and her name: Pawle, spelled that way. (I think it was short for Pawlette.) Most folks would call the Pawle I was ‘dowdy’, but hiding as her, or just being her, the word I felt was ‘collected.’ All my many parts were together.
I woke hearing in that choice of name an echo of Paul Takes the Form of a Mortal Girl, a book I can’t stop writing about. Paul, able to transform his body at will, can become Pawle just by concentrating. For the rest of us, there’s pop-up Halloween shops.
One of the oldest family jokes I remember hearing was that when I was 4, I asked for a Barbie for Christmas. I didn’t remember making my Christmas list at age 4, I was too young, but my mom kept all of our lists in a spiral notebook, and there it was: the evidence. My sisters and parents would remind one another of this wish whenever it could get a quick laugh, my turn to play the butt of our joking. Jenny likely had hers, too; how many times did we laugh about the time when she first saw the ocean, stepped in to her ankles, looked down at the water sliding out to the sea, and fell over, dizzied by the illusion of the world slipping away from her?
Jenny’s joke was about what she did, mine was about what I was: a boy who liked Barbies, and it was the first thing—in a long list—I learned I needed to hide about myself. When I was sure I was another heterosexual, I told myself that I was just the youngest kid, with two older sisters. They liked to play with Barbies and I liked to play with my sisters, so I played whatever games they said we would. Then, when I chose to be gay, I looked back fondly at the 4-year-old who knew exactly what he wanted and went for it.
Worth noting that Santa didn’t bring him a Barbie that year.
The best thing about playing with a Barbie was that she was a grownup. She had her own Corvette and camper and condo, with elevator. Also: she was the oldest, with a little sister. When no actual grownups were around you could push her up against Ken and make kissing sounds.
Were you into Wild Flag when they released their album—god, eleven years ago? In 2011, I lived in Tuscaloosa and drove to campus every day in my 2001 Saturn LS, which had been modded with one of those 10-disc changers in the trunk; Wild Flag came up maybe once a week, and when it did I couldn’t stop dancing in my car. Just the opening bass-keyboard riff of the record would do it:
In Alabama, I was not in a good place. And I don’t only mean that geographically. I was hiding a lot of things about myself, living several lies. When I listened to Wild Flag, I’d turn myself into a better someone else, someone I could be proud of, who was pals with the gals in White Flag and got to tour with them as their on-stage go-go boy. I’d stand in my fantasy over in the corner of the stage wearing just a pair of jean shorts, and maybe some white canvas All-Stars, shimmying my dollbody to their hits, trying not to pull too much focus.

One word stands up as a means to describe the power and potential of a car is “horsepower.” But what exactly does this term mean and why is it so important for your car? We’re going to explain how cars horsepower works in blog that are clear to everyone.
Imagine yourself in search of a new car when you see words like “200 HP” or “high-performance engine.” The language could make you feel a little confused. That’s where we come in. In this post, we’ll break down the concept of horsepower, explain how it affects your driving experience, and help you make informed decisions about the right amount of power for your needs.
What do you mean by horsepower?
Horsepower is a unit of measurement that reveals the power of an automobile’s engine. It serves as a score, indicating how much work the engine can carry out in a certain period of time. The term goes back to a time when people used horses for work and attempted to figure out how much work a machine could carry out in contrast to a horse.
A car that has more HP can move faster and accelerate more quickly, in simple. Something looks like having a powerful car engine health that can move a car quickly. A car with greater horsepower is better if you must carry large items like trailers or boats because it can manage the job better.
What are Impact of Horsepower on Car Performance?
Horsepower is a key factor in the manner in which the car operates. What exactly does it mean for your driving experience, we will going to explore:
- Faster Acceleration
When you push the throttle, horsepower helps your car to move more quickly. Imagine a race between two vehicles, one with greater and one with fewer horsepower. Usually, a car with greater horsepower will go ahead more quickly. So, if you enjoy hitting 60 mph quickly from 0 to 60, horsepower is your friend and it help to move and reach quickly.
- Higher Top Speed
Consider a car’s top speed as its maximum possible speed. Higher speeds at their highest can be achieved by vehicles with more horsepower. You need a powerful vehicle if you want to go down the highway at high rates of speed.
- Better Hauling power
Your car might be required to do some hard duties, such as pulling a boat or cargo. Your car can carry out these duties easily if it has more horsepower. To lift large objects, it’s similar to having more muscle.
- Fuel Efficiency
The difficult issue is that horsepower can require more fuel even though it’s amazing for power and speed. It reflects the choice between using less electricity and gas. Because cars with fewer horsepower are usually more environmentally friendly, you use less petrol overall.
- Finding the Right Balance
Depending on how you operate your car, you should select the right HP level. You don’t need a very powerful engine if you only want to use it for daily driving. Still, greater horsepower is a fantastic choice if you enjoy driving fast or need to carry large objects.
What is the difference between BHP and HP?
BHP and HP are terms often used interchangeably to describe a car’s power, but they are different significantly. Both BHP and HP are terms for the measurement of engine power, whereas they have different uses:
- HP (Horsepower):
- Origin: The term was coined by James Watt in the 18th century to market steam engines. It’s a universal unit used in various industries, including automotive.
- Definition: Horsepower (HP) is a measurement of an engine’s power output. It’s a standard unit used primarily in the United States.
- Measurement: HP is determined by measuring the engine’s power on a dynamometer, a device that assesses an engine’s power by applying a load to it.
- BHP (Brake Horsepower):
- Origin: BHP is derived from the term “brake horsepower,” which was coined when engineers needed a way to measure an engine’s power without considering the power losses from components like the transmission, gearbox, and other accessories.
- Definition: Brake Horsepower (BHP) is a measurement of the engine’s power output at the crankshaft, without accounting for any power losses due to various components in the vehicle.
- Measurement: BHP is measured directly at the engine’s crankshaft, giving a more accurate representation of the engine’s power potential.
In conclusion, horsepower is a key measurement of the car’s performance capability. It impacts a number of things, including fuel consumption, towing capacity, maximum speed, and acceleration. When buying or upgrading your car, you may make smart choices if you have knowledge of the importance of horsepower. The next time somebody uses the word “HP,” you’ll know what it is that they’re talking about in the automotive sector.
FAQs about Car Horsepower
1. How Does Horsepower Affect Speed?
More horsepower usually means faster acceleration and higher top speed.
2. Is High Horsepower Always Better?
Not necessarily. High horsepower can use more fuel. Choose based on your needs.
3. Can I Increase My Car’s Horsepower?
Yes, through modifications like turbochargers or engine tuning, but it may affect other aspects.
4. Do Electric Cars Use Horsepower?
Electric cars use torque more than horsepower for quick acceleration, but the concept is different from traditional engines.


Following washing machine and dishwasher, robot vacuum is another major tech product that free us from daily chores. But the cleaning performance of a robot vacuum always seems to decline after a while.
Self-empty Robot Vacuum to Solve Suction Loss
Self-empty robot vacuum was born to address the suction loss of regular robot vacuum. What is self-empty robot vacuum? And how does it solve suction loss?
Take Lydsto R1, one of the best seller self-empty robovac models, for example, the 2,700pa strong suction robot comes with a dust collecting charging station. After each vacuum session, the robot is lead back to the station by high-precision sensors. The station, boasting a suction power five times of regular stick vacuum, then empties the robot through a Lydsto exclusive design side air duct and restores its strong suction.
This design is based on the fact that cleaning performance of robot vacuum is determined, to a large extent, by the suction power. And the actual suction power is determined by two factors: the standard suction power of the motor and suction loss due to resistance in the air duct. Researches on resistance in the air duct come to the conclusion that waste stacking in the dust bin is the first to blame. Researchers have confirmed that part of the suction power is lost as the dust bin fills up. The conclusion is obvious: maintaining the suction power of the robot vacuum requires emptying the dust bin in time.
Regular robot vacuum models have to be cleaned by hand. The convenience of it is offset, or even exceeded, by the time and energy spent on maintaining it. But self-empty robot vacuum emerged to solve the awkward situation with automatic dust collection.
Lydsto R1 Self-empty Robot Vacuum, Born Unconventional
Lydsto R1 dust collecting station has an arsenal of 29 high-precision sensors, including ST LPS22HBTR, KODENSHI ORA2S01, etc. ST LPS22HBTR piezoresistive sensor can detect to a long distance without being interfered, and KODENSHI ORA2S01 IR sensor can guarantee pinpoint docking of the robot.
The dust collecting station is also equipped with a 1,000W quality motor that runs at 50,000m/min to provide 30,000pa suction power (five times of stick vacuum).
The dust collection duct of most self-empty robovac models is located at the bottom, which is likely to store waste and decrease dust collecting efficiency. Lydsto R1 has its dust collecting duct designed to be a 430mm side duct directly connected to the station. The dust bin can be emptied within 12 seconds at 98% efficiency. The dust is collected in a 3L large enclosed bag which you only need to replace every month.
Additionally, armed with Lydsto patented noise reduction technology, sound absorbing material and double-partition proof, Lydsto R1 reduces the sound of dust collecting to the minimum.
Lydsto R1, now offering constant surging suction backed up with revolutionary technologies.
Package of Functions Frees You from Floor and Carpet Cleaning
The suction loss out of filled dust bin of regular robot vacuum makes APP control and scheduling pointless. With Lydsto R1, the robot is emptied after every vacuum run to keep at max suction power. Free of suction loss, the app control and scheduling functions are no longer redundancies.
Lydsto R1 is packed with LDS laser navigation, obstacle avoidance, recharge and resume, app control, and scheduled cleaning. They can guarantee cleaning performance, free you from the troubling chore, and even ‘housesit’ when you’re away for a long time.
Lydsto R1, designed to solve the problems that regular robot vacuum fails to, relives us from physical efforts on floor and carpet cleaning altogether, The day that vacuuming is no longer a household chore is now within our reach.

Come with me if you want to live!
Let me tell you folks, it might not be some award winning, “tell your kids about” kind of summer movie season out there, but there are still some real gems out there right now. That’s not to say that the good/bad movie ratio isn’t down from last summer, especially on the action movie front, since 2008 had a pretty decent run starting off with Iron Man, Speed Racer, Indiana Jones and The Incredible Hulk all coming out within weeks of each other. Still, even with stinkers like X-Men Origins: Wolverine and Angels & Demons out there, it’s not hard to find some great popcorn entertainment.
I’ve talked extensively about JJ Abrams’ Star Trek in the last few weeks, and it’s still the best of the best when it comes to really finding that amazing summer blockbuster, but these last few weekends have brought out some of the best films I’ve seen all year period, especially ones from two names that I have the utmost respect for; Director Sam Raimi and PIXAR, the studio that can’t be beaten. Both Drag Me to Hell and Up ended up blowing my mind at the theater in the last month and offered up some of the best entertainments to be found in a multiplex I’ve seen since probably The Dark Knight. The movie I’d like to go on record this week and defend this week, though, is a movie that’s been a little beaten up by fans and critics, but one that I’ve found some particular enjoyment for on many levels; Terminator Salvation. The movie isn’t an outright success, but I think that a lot of the complaints against it haven’t been very fair, and like a lone warrior from the future I’m here to protect it so the machines don’t win.
So without further ado, I’ll get right to it. There’s gonna be some spoilers throughout.
Terminator Salvation Starring Christian Bale, Sam Worthington, and Anton Yelchin. Directed by McG
So I see that crapping all over this movie has gotten pretty popular on the Internet lately. Many fans felt that McG has somehow tarnished the good name of the Terminator franchise, a franchise that I, myself am a huge fan of, but one that I’ve never really associated with the mythic sagas that have really stirred the hearts and minds of moviegoers. Now again, that isn’t to say that I don’t love this series, in fact I think James Cameron’s original two films are action classics and that Terminator 2: Judgment Day is the movie that kind of defined the summer blockbuster in the 1990s, but I wouldn’t put it on the same level as the original Star Wars films, Lord of the Rings, Indiana Jones and I don’t think its cinematic legacy is as important as say, the Bond franchise.
What the movies are, are the premiere films associated with the biggest action icon of the last two decades of the 20th century, the illustrious California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, and because of that association fandom has sought to somehow raise perfectly good action masterpieces to the point of science fiction royalty, when the very movies they are holding Terminator Salvation up against are films with plot holes so big you could drive a truck full of liquid nitrogen through them. I mean honestly, the first film is an incredible achievement by Writer/Director James Cameron; a B-movie tour de force that made Arnold Schwarzenegger a superstar and launched the career of one of Science Fiction’s most talented directors. The movie is also a wild paradox where a man in the future must send his own father back in time in order to sire him, which I guess works if you buy into the type of Lost– time travel theory where everything that will happen has already happened and that Kyle Reese was always meant to come back in time to save humanity. Then again, if there’s no changing the future, and that Kyle Reese was always meant to go back to the 1980s to father his son, then why would Skynet send Terminators back to change the future, when it turns out if they hadn’t sent a Terminator, then Reese wouldn’t have been sent to the past to again father John Connor?
Confused yet? Well, allow me to present T2. While “no fate but what we make” is the motto of the movie, the more accurate “let’s create time paradoxes and blow stuff up” doesn’t seem quite as catchy, which probably explains why they didn’t use it. Sure, the film has incredible spectacle and gets you wrapped up in its forward momentum like a boulder toward its ultimate conclusion, but we kind of take it on faith that when John and Sarah Connor stop Judgment Day in that movie that it won’t have any horrible impact on their lives, especially considering that would again stop the very thing that causes Kyle Reese to come back in time to father John Connor.
In a lot of ways, it’s the maligned Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines that sets the whole thing right again, since it actually ends with Judgment Day occurring, just postponed. Sure, the movie is comparatively small in scope next to the epic second installment, the movie’s goofy tone at times is jarring, and the villain in the movie is pretty lame, but that ending is like a punch to the gut, and I think on that level and anything having to do with its action set pieces, the movie absolutely works. This finally brings us to McG’s all new, much hated Terminator Salvation.
Now again, this movie is far from perfect. Legitimately, there are some real problems with this movie’s script, which is a bit schizophrenic, not being able to really give us a main character to carry the movie through to the end. Many wanted to see John Connor’s rise to power and how he was able to get us through the war with the machines, but I don’t think that’s the movie that the film makers had initially intended to give us. You can tell that the movie was supposed to center around the journey of Sam Worthington’s Marcus Wright and his road to redemption and his search for Anton Yelchin’s Kyle Reese. Adding Christian Bale’s Connor to this mix only made this movie focus less on the story it wanted to tell, and more on a story that wasn’t ready to be told yet.
To make matters worse, I think Bale is solid with what he’s given, but there are not a lot of layers to John Connor in this picture. Then again, have there ever been a lot of layers to John Connor? The best versions of this character we’ve ever really gotten are from flashbacks from the ravings of Kyle Reese, who makes Connor out to be a messiah-like figure. The man we’ve seen in our minds is the one who briefly shows up at the beginning of T2 leading his troops in a battle against Skynet, stoically looking bad ass with a huge scar down his face. That’s the image I think Bale built his whole performance around; not the snot nosed kid who talks like Bart Simpson and not the whiny twenty-something running away from destiny. Instead, we get the bad ass John Connor we’ve been waiting for, and then most people reject this performance because they say there’s not enough to him.
Then again, what’s the alternative? Do we cut Connor completely out of this movie, as some have suggested? Then that ends up alienating another half of the fan base that don’t really want to see any other character onscreen, especially since this is the first of the Terminator movies to not feature the star associated with this series, Arnold Schwarzenegger. Do we cut out Marcus Wright, the character that was originally meant to be the focus of the movie, and basically start this film from scratch? Well that actually eliminates the most interesting character of the whole movie.
I know I’m not the first to say this, but I think this movie is only the beginning for Sam Worthington. He’s getting some of the best notices for this movie, and with his starring roles in James Cameron‘s Avatar and the new Clash of the Titans remake on the horizon, this guy could be the next big thing. I actually think he does really admirable work in this picture. You can feel the struggle within the character; a man with a past that is filled with wrongdoing, but one that Marcus is trying to make up for in this new world gone to hell. His tale of redemption is actually pretty moving in places and in the second half of the film, his storyline takes a turn that shows him as the best that humanity can offer. This flawed warrior has the weight of the world on his shoulders, and he knows he has to act or all that he really is will be gone forever.
Alright, I know this is just a start and I didn’t mean to write this much about this movie, but I’m going to keep going with this next week and see where this thing goes.

Volunteers help keep Shenandoah Nat'l. Park clean during shutdown
As the partial government shutdown stretched into its 16th day, a group of volunteers traveled to Shenandoah National Park on Sunday to pick up trash left behind by visitors.
The duty is usually assigned to employees of the park. However, while the park has not shut down to visitors, various services ceased on December 22 due to a lack of federal funding.
The volunteers searched for overflowing trash cans and garbage lying on the ground.
"The national parks are a treasure. They're something we all appreciate," said Alleyn Harned, who organized the cleanup effort. "This is a chance to show our appreciation to enjoy it and also contribute back to it in this time of serious challenge"
Harned said the group may go back sometime next week to do another cleanup hike, but there is no way volunteers could replace a full park staff.
More than 20,000 national park employees across the country have been furloughed due to the shutdown, according to the Department of the Interior. An additional 3,200 were deemed essential.
The government shutdown was sparked by a $5 billion demand by President Donald Trump to build a border wall along the U.S./Mexico border. Trump said he will consider declaring a national emergency to use existing funding for the project if Congress does not agree to his terms.

Shanghai dazzled the South Island Prosperity Project (SIPP) during the the 2018 World Artificial (AI) Intelligence Conference with its deep technical know-how and its consumer-ready technologies, including self-driving cars, robots, data visualization tools, and voice and facial recognition software. The SIPP team recently returned to Victoria from the conference that featured speakers from China’s leading technology giants—Baidu, Alibaba, and Tencent, China’s “Google”, “Amazon”, and “Facebook”—the high-security conference is considered one of the world’s most prestigious AI gatherings.
Emilie de Rosenroll, SIPP CEO, spoke during the international conference, focusing on how Greater Victoria plans to create a more sustainable, convenient and affordable transportation network through the use of technologies, like single points of payment for different forms of transportation from bikes, to buses, to carshares.
“New advances in technology will impact countless aspects of our lives including the new ways governments can deliver services to citizens – it encompasses everything from how we move around our cities and regions to how we improve health outcomes, how we work, and even the work we will do,” de Rosenroll said. “This is why SIPP’s work around smart mobility isn’t just about planning for convenient ways of getting around in the short-term, it’s about preparing our region for a different future.”
Greater Victoria is among 20 national finalists in Canada’s first-ever Smart City Challenge led by Infrastructure Canada, Greater Victoria is getting national and international recognition for its smart city work, and will have a chance to win $10M in the Federal challenge to be announced in the summer of 2019. SIPP’s winning initial proposal was selected by a national jury.
Dallas Gislason, SIPP’s director of economic development, participated in a panel discussion alongside Dr. Raymond Tavares, United Nations Industrial Development Organization; Luis Gomez Fernandez, Barcelona’s Commissioner of Economy Promotion; and Cathy Skelly, Investment Manager, of Liverpool Vision. The panel discussed issues related to smart cities governance and the importance of international cooperation for creating ethical AI standards to guide industry and governments.
“China – with its 800 million internet users (of which 98% are on mobile devices), is leading the world on a number of fronts in AI and big data,” says Dallas Gislason. “Greater Victoria can bring an important perspective to the international smart city dialogue, particularly around how we excel at partnerships and collaboration between the private and public sectors.”

Eating Fish Can Boost Our Good Cholesterol Levels Even More Than We Thought
New research helps clarify why eating fatty fish regularly is beneficial for health. Scientists from the University of Eastern Finland confirm that people who eat fish three to four times per week have more large high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles in the blood than those who eat it less frequently. Large HDL particles are thought to lower the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Population studies show HDL cholesterol, known as good cholesterol, and large HDL particles help clear away excess cholesterol from the arterial walls, while small HDL particles may have the opposite effect. Since it is the buildup of plaque that leads to reduced blood flow and the formation of blood clots within the arteries, a factor that curtails this process is very valuable.
In the study published in PLOS ONE, 131 middle-aged adults at risk of developing cardiovascular disease were asked to record their dietary practices. The participants ate fatty fish such as salmon, herring, rainbow trout and vendace, which were prepared without butter or cream. Before and after a three-month period, their blood samples were tested using a state-of-the-art detailed evaluation method that allowed the researchers to measure the amounts of 14 different particle classes. The positive changes in lipids were noted in the participants who increased their fish intake.
Researcher Maria Lankinen cautioned people against complacency about their diet if their standard lipid profiles are fine, as the factors involving lipids are very complex. The team emphasized the importance of the dietary approach in treating overall and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, known as bad cholesterol.
Since the experts recommend eating fatty fish several times a week, it’s nice to get ideas on how to cook it. Nutritionist and award-winning author, Dr. Janet Brill, shared the following salmon recipe with Live in the Now.
Dr. Janet’s Roasted Tomato Pesto Salmon
Yield: 2 servings (1 serving = 4 oz fillet)
- 2-4 oz salmon fillets
- 2 Tablespoons of walnut pesto (see recipe below)
- 2-3 slices of tomato
- 1 tsp of dried basil (or fresh minced basil)
- ¼ tsp of black pepper
Heart Healthy Pesto:
- 2 oz fresh basil leaves (about 1 cup)
- 1 cup walnut halves
- ½ cup olive oil
- 3 large garlic cloves
Pre-heat oven to 400 º F. Grease a tin pan with olive oil spray. Place salmon fillets in the pan and cover each fillet with 1 Tablespoons of pesto. Top salmon with tomato slices and sprinkle with dried basil and black pepper. Bake salmon until opaque in the center, about 20-25 minutes.

President Gul meets Turkey’s Paris envoy
Abdullah Gul and Burcuoglu evaluated the latest situation in the aftermath of a draft bill that passed by the French National Assembly and criminalizes the denial of the Armenian allegations on the 1915 incidents, TRT reported.
Ambassador Burcuoglu was recalled to Turkey after the adoption of the bill and returned home on 23 December.
The first remarks Turkey's Paris Ambassador made about the bill after it was adopted, were "The French are now confused and embarrassed. They are now settling accounts."
The lower house of the French Parliament adopted a bill criminalizing the denial of a fictitious "Armenian genocide" on Dec. 22.
Some 45 out of 577 French MPs voted, 38 of which voted for, while seven went against the adoption of the bill.
MPs from the French President's "Union for Popular Movement" (UMP) party which has the parliamentary majority, proposed the bill which aims at criminalising denial of the so-called "Armenian genocide" to the legislative committee of the National Assembly in early December.
The bill envisages about one year imprisonment and a fine worth 45,000 euros for denial of the so-called "Armenian genocide".
The Armenia and the Armenian lobby claim that the predecessor of the Turkey - Ottoman Empire had committed the 1915 genocide against the Armenians living in Anadolu, and achieved recognition of the "Armenian Genocide" by the parliaments of several countries.

King of Booze is a drinking game that offers players choices, something that's never been emphasized in a drinking game.
- Up to 14 players
- 40+ challenges and choices
- Up to 500 custom challenges
- 2 board layouts
- 2 alcotests (in-game and post game, both optional)
- 19 cute avatars
- 3 game modes
For innocent souls and fun seekers it's a drinking game, for competitive people it's a strategic board game.
Since we know drinking games require more challenges than we can think of we've created an option which allows YOU to edit and create your own custom cards where you create challenges but also the "price" in drinks for them.
King of Booze also has HALL OF FAME that will keep track of your records in areas such as drinks number, challenges, BAC and laps.
But since drinking can be dangerous we also implemented an alcotest. Once you set it up our system keeps track of your BAC making sure you're informed about your state and warned in case you "overdo it". Because a drinking game should not only be fun, but make sure you're safe.
Please drink responsibly.
***FAQ and Tips***
How to set up in-game alcotest?
On the payer set-up screen (where you choose player's names, characters and color), on the right side of every player's row there is an alcotest button, after you click it, you need to enter your fullness of stomach, weight, percentage of alcohol for your drink and how large shots/or sips are you gonna take.
Why aren't numbers in metric/imperial units?
You can change between the two in the settings.
How to turn off automatic dice roll?
You can change between automatic, and click to stop dice in the settings.
How to put custom cards in the surprise fields?
During player set up you can click for game set-up on the bottom of the screen, here you can choose between classic, mixed and custom only setup for cards.
How to play with only custom challenges for every field?
Set up surprise cards to "Custom only" and board fields to "Surprise only"
When playing with shots you should strive more towards challenges than to drinking. If all of your choices are drinking, you'll be wasted in no time.

5 July 2020
Today is a day of unseasonal strong wind. Wind is probably my least favourite weather because it can do so much damage. But apart from a few knocked over zinnias, we survive quite well. I think the pallet/organ pipe fence surrounding the pumpkin bed is doing a good job dissipating the strength of the wind and preventing harm to fragile stems. All day long my work outside was accompanied by the banging of the polytunnel windows and the jangling of the wind chimes. The wind can also bring on bouts of ‘cracker cat’ and Pip, who was ‘helping’ me in a flower bed, not satisfied with catching my hand (luckily safe in a glove for a change) also then grabbed my leg and then my arm… ouch! I think watching the Jungle Book with Grandad has had a bad influence on her – she now thinks she is a miniature black jaguar!
‘Team Patrick’ continue with their work on the wall. First, they remove and clean loose bricks from the top of the wall and pile them on the scaffolding ready for Mickey. Then, the go behind the wall to retrieve bricks – one section of wall is lying on the ground as it fell many years ago.
I concentrate my efforts on the two long fruit cage borders. These require weeding and new planting to be added. I also attend to the training of the ‘step over’ apples which are doing well and have quite a lot of fruit. A ‘step over’ fruit tree is trained to have only two main branches which are trained horizontally at a very low level (18”) on either side.
When I finish weeding both of the beds (20m x 1m), I plant in the unnamed dahlias, seven on each side. I then add six achilleas (gold plate) and five Lychnis – Molten Lava, 18 Geranium Versicolor and six Geranium Roxanne. The Geraniums have become quite straggly so I give each of them a careful haircut before planting, tomorrow I will infill the bed with cosmos.
Before going inside, I water the terraces of the mount and refill the water feature for the 3rd time today. On a windy day, the water blows out of the fountain resulting in a drop in water levels. Earlier in the day, when I was trying to secure the ‘strawberry’ grape vines planted round the top level of the mount, the wind was so strong that I was drenched by the spray of the water feature! The mount is now one of my favourite places in the garden. Partly because it is nice to be able to see out over the fields but also because it is a spot that inspires one to sit, reflect and contemplate life.

There are ways to temper your toughest critic and take constructive control of your feelings.
Verified by Psychology Today
"She has two grown children. One is a daughter who does not speak to Susan."
You seem to have left out the most important detail of the story. The silent treatment and ostracism is bully behavior. The daughter was being a bully by not speaking to her mother. Once she changed her own behavior and stopped bullying the bully progress began to made.
I know those who shut bullies out, go no contact and cut-off relationships don't want to talk or hear about their own bullying behaviors. It's easier to justify social ostracism when you can point the finger at the bad behavior of the other. But bullying bullies is not any better than being the bully who's being bullied. We haven't ever, and never will improve on dysfunctional family patterns or cycles of abuse by substituting one form of abuse for another. The silent treatment and social ostracism are extreme forms of emotional abuse.

TEHRAN, NOV 27 (DNA) – Iran and Turkey signed a deal on Sunday with Qatar aimed at boosting commercial ties with the Gulf state which is under blockade by its Arab neighbours, Iranian state television said. Erdogan pledges military support for Qatar on Doha visit The broadcaster’s website said the agreement provides for the creation of a “joint working group to facilitate the transit of goods between the three countries”. It also said the three nations aimed to tackle “obstacles to sending goods from Iran and Turkey to Qatar”.
Qatar’s relationship with Shia-dominated Iran, seen as the major rival to Sunni-ruled Saudi Arabia in the Middle East, is one of the major factors underpinning the crisis between Qatar and its former allies.
Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt all cut ties with Qatar in June, accusing Doha of backing extremism and fostering ties with Iran, charges that Qatar denies.
Since the crisis erupted, Iran and Turkey – whose relations have warmed considerably in recent months – have sought to help break Qatar’s isolation, including by increasing food exports to the emirate.

JOHANNESBURG (AP) – The continent-wide African Union elected a female politician from South Africa for the first time as head of its commission, officials said Monday.
South African Minister of Home Affairs Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma was voted in late Sunday to lead the African Union’s permanent commission of leaders, administrators and technical experts.
Dlamini-Zuma successfully challenged the incumbent, Jean Ping of Gabon, who held the post since 2008. Ping had the backing of French-speaking African nations, while Dlamini-Zuma had the backing of English-speaking nations. The 63-year-old is the first female to hold the leadership position and the first South African.
Dlamini-Zuma, who is also the former wife of South African President Jacob Zuma, secured the votes of 37 of the 54 African Union member nations to narrowly win the two-thirds majority required at a summit of leaders in the Ethiopian capital of Addis Ababa.
Her election was seen as a major coup for South Africa as it tries to emerge as a political and economic powerhouse on the continent.
The Women’s League of South Africa’s governing African National Congress party said it was “beaming with pride” over one of its members election and described it as a victory for women across Africa, for long the victims of poverty, prejudice and oppression.
“Her deep understanding of the dynamics of Africa will inspire unity and stability across the continent,” the group said.
The main ANC party said Monday that Dlamini-Zuma, a seasoned diplomat and politician, would be a loss to the nation’s government but now had answered “a higher calling” to serve the entire continent. The commission’s main mission to drive African integration and development would be better served under her able leadership, party leaders said in a statement.
South Africa’s International Affairs and Co-operation Minister Maite Nkoana-Mashabane said Dlamini-Zuma held strong beliefs in strengthening democracy, the rule of law and unity among African states.
“There will be more accountability, there will be more fast-tracking of decisions taken by the heads of state,” Nkoana-Mashabane said.
That meant spending more time taking action on decisions instead of just making more wordy resolutions, she told the South African Broadcasting Corp.
The independent South African Medical Association noted that Dlamini Zuma, a medical doctor, pursued excellence in all the duties she undertook. As well as being a champion of peace and democracy, it said she fought hunger and poverty and was ready to address continent-wide health issues such as high levels of maternal and child mortality.
South African Foreign Ministry official Clayson Monyela hailed the summit vote as a triumph for diplomacy that put an end to the long wrangle between member states over the post.
At the last summit in January, there was no outright winner in the vote and Ping stayed on until the latest Addis Ababa meeting. African Union chairman President Boni Yayi of Benin said Sunday that the last inconclusive vote had painted the continental organization in a poor light. He acknowledged it hurt the image of the body as a peacemaker and mediator in a range of wars, military take-overs and other disputes across the continent.
Dlamini-Zuma, in a transcript of a media interview released by her office on Saturday, conceded there were divisions over the commission chair and South Africa’s role in campaigning for it, but described herself as a citizen of Africa who wanted to make a `’humble contribution” to the continent.
Asked what she would bring to the AU Commission she referred to her medical background.
`’Like a doctor, you first diagnose and then you treat. I will have to take it from there,” she said.
The AU heads of state and government two-day assembly closes later Monday.
Associated Press reporter Kirubel Tadesse in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia contributed to this report.

By Staff Sgt. Lindsey Kibler, ISAF Joint Command PA
By Mollie Miller, 1st ID PA
"We're separating the insurgency from the people, eroding their resources, and hindering their capabilities," said Lt. Col. Michael Katona, cmdr. of 4th Sqdn, 4th Cav Regt, 1st HBCT, via video teleconference. "We have the enemy against the ropes, and we're punching them hard right now." Katona, along with his senior NCO Command Sgt. Maj. Charles Cook, and 2 of the sqdn's Soldiers, joined Lt. Col. Christopher Kidd and Command Sgt. Maj. John McDwyer, the command team from 2nd Bn, 34th AR Regt, for a video teleconference with Central Kansas media. "We've defeated the Taliban, and we're now moving into training the ANSF," Katona said. "We're securing the people, and have empowered the GoA, and we must now remain vigilant."For the more than 1,000 men and women of the 'Pale Rider' and 'Dreadnaught' bns., remaining vigilant means that the Soldiers will continue to partner with their Afghan counterparts on the training and construction projects, and air assault and dismounted patrol missions, that have kept them very busy. "We've got the enemy against the ropes and we can't stop now," Katona said. "We're going to move forward with all our projects, and continue intel driven air assaults, to prevent the enemy from regaining any sort of foothold." For Kidd, the next few months will mean that his bn. will give the Afghan troops and police who they've been training, more room to take the lead in securing their own country. "We're constantly moving our Afghan partners along and letting them take the lead more and more, so they can succeed long after we're gone," he said. Getting their Afghan partners into the lead, and getting the enemy "against the ropes," however, has come at a high price for Fort Riley's Soldiers. Since arriving in country in early 2011, 9 members of the 2 bns. have lost their lives, more than 120 Soldiers have received Purple Heart Medals, and 90% of the Soldiers assigned to 4th Sqdn. have been awarded some sort of combat action badge."These guys and gals have seen some intense combat," Katona said. "Our area of ops (AO) has been very kinetic, but we have beaten the enemy down and they're not coming back up." "Being in an environment like the combat zones of southern Afghanistan is not something you can understand unless you have been there yourself," said Staff Sgt. Jared Davis, 4th Sqdn., 4th Cav. Regt. "It's a difficult situation anytime you get those bullets whizzing by you, or those bombs going off, but I wouldn't choose to be anywhere other than where I am right now," he said. "I've got a great plt. under me. We go on every air assault and do every foot patrol we can, and I'm proud to say that none of my guys have been injured in a way that they can't continue to fight. We hope to keep it that way."
"We've accomplished the mission, and will continue to accomplish the mission until the day we get on the plane," Katona said. "We owe it to the unit replacing us to hand this battle space over in the best shape possible, and I'll fight until the day I get on the airplane, to ensure that we continue to make gains all the way to the last day. That's what I owe the Army, and that's what I owe our Soldiers." Command Sgt. Maj. John McDwyer, the senior NCO for 2nd Bn., 34th AR Regt., said, "Central Kansas and the entire Flint Hills community should be very proud of their Fort Riley Soldiers. These young men and women go out onto an uncertain battlefield, not knowing what to expect from day to day, and are doing incredible things out there," he said. "I'm just as proud as heck of them, and I think everyone back home needs to know that Soldiers like these are the reason we're going to win this war."
PAKTIKA PROVINCE – Traveling in Afghanistan is not an easy task. The roads are narrow with steep drop-offs, riverbeds are strewn with rocks, and raining can cause mudslides where portions of the mountainside literally disappear. When supplies and vehicles need to get somewhere, the soldiers from the 172nd SB will drive almost anywhere to accomplish the mission.“We're constantly moving stuff around to different FOBs,” said Staff Sgt. Clinton Bailey, from Texas, a transportation plt. sgt. “We transport whatever the brigade needs.”
Co A soldiers are currently conducting a 2 to 3 week-long mission, in order to pick up MRAP all-terrain vehicles from COP Curry, and bring them back to FOB Sharana to upgrade their armor.“The vehicles currently can not be used on the battlefield, because of their level of armor,” said Staff Sgt. Jessica Torres, from Calif., a gun-truck plt. sgt.Soldiers conducting supply missions have a lot of preparation beforehand. The majority of the planning goes into getting the vehicles ready for convoying. “The soldiers perform preventive maintenance checks and services on their vehicles, and go through a 20-level, quality checks and quality services before they dispatch their vehicles,” said Torres. “They check the vehicles out, and make sure they're up to standard for mission.” With proper checks on all the vehicles, the soldiers hope to mitigate the risk of traveling, and prepare in case the enemy engages them along the route to FOB Orgun-E, according to Bailey. “We control about 90% of it through our planning, execution, precombat checks and precombat inspections,” said Bailey. “The other 10% is influenced by the enemy.”Torres said that the route to FOB Orgun-E was not always as safe as it currently is.“We did encounter small arms fire and indirect fire when we first started taking these routes, but lately, the ANA has setup checkpoints along the route,” said Torres. “This has decreased the amount of enemy fire.”According to Torres, by utilizing existing vehicles and upgrading their armor instead of buying new vehicles, the Army is using their existing resources, and saving money in the process. Along with saving money, the mission will deliver more vehicles that are able to occupy the battle space, providing more of a force presence in the area. Soldiers from the 172nd Support Battalion have conducted around 15 successful missions, since being deployed to Afghanistan. With more supplies and vehicles needing movement, the soldiers will remain busy for the foreseeable future. “Us going out there and risking our equipment and our lives for the better of other soldiers; that's a good thing,” said Bailey. “It’s soldiers helping soldiers.”

COB WARRIOR -- In an ever-changing technological world, there exists an invisible plane of physics that allows communication devices to transmit their intended signals. Sometimes those signals work for us. Sometimes they work against us.To mitigate those differences, Army electronic warfare soldiers assess and analyze the electromagnetic and radio spectrums, in order to protect ground forces in hostile environments.Electronic warfare, according to military doctrine, is defined as any military action involving the use of electromagnetic and directed energy, to control the electromagnetic spectrum to attack the enemy or adversary. With the rise of radio-controlled IEDs in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Army realized a growing need for experts in the electromagnetic spectrum. “The Army didn’t have an electronic warfare program going into Op Iraqi Freedom,” explained WO1 Steven Quast, an electronic warfare officer with the 4th Advise and Assist Bde, 1st AR Div. “When our adversary started using RCIEDs the need became obvious.”That’s why, last year, the Army established a military occupational specialty, specifically dedicated to the electronic warfare realm. “The Army stood up a whole new MOS just for electronic warfare – and that’s exactly what was needed,” he said.As an enlisted soldier, Quast felt he had reached the pinnacle as a fire support specialist, and sought out a new role within the Army, this time as a warrant officer. “I was looking for a brand new challenge – something that was fresh and was new,” he admitted. “I actually put in a warrant package, and I requested a re-class into electronic warfare.”Along with 5 other WOs, Quast was among the few graduates of Fort Sill’s inaugural electronic warfare course. “My class was the very first ‘official’ 290A class,” he said. “There were 3 pilot courses to validate mine, but we were the first.”Under the Army’s Info Ops, electronic warfare is divided into 3 divs: electronic attack, electronic protect, and electronic support. "The most prevalent piece of electronic warfare equipment in the Army’s arsenal is the Counter-Radio Electronic Warfare (CREW) system, which acts like a mobile-based “jammer” to attack the enemy’s use of the radio spectrum," said Quast."However, because CREW systems manipulate the radio spectrum, EWOs must work closely with communications specialists, to ensure that military communication remains reliable and unaffected," Quast continued. “That’s where the finesse, so to speak, comes from - being able to attack the enemy’s use of it, while preventing degradation of your assets,” said Quast.Having been deployed to both Iraq and Afghanistan, Quast revealed that understanding an area’s communication network, is imperative in determining how to protect or attack the radio spectrum.“Iraq obviously has a lot more infrastructure - lots of modern-day type of communications,” he said. “Afghanistan, by contrast, has a lot less infrastructure, but a lot better use of different types of radios.”"As a result, electronic warfare is quickly emerging as a fully integrated warfighting enabler in areas like Afghanistan, where a large number of equipment and targeting techniques are being fielded," said Quast."Although a newly created Army specialty, electronic warfare has played a significant role in military ops since WWII, where radar and jamming equipment heavily contributed to the successes of an Allied victory," Quast said.Prior to Op Overlord at Normandy in 1944, a Royal AF sqdn deceived the German army, and convinced them that a second fleet of Allied ships was approaching another French coastline, according to the historyofwar.org website. "Armed with specialized jamming equipment, the sqdn’s planes mimicked the radar signatures of warships by flying “low and slow” across the English Channel," said Quast. "The use of radar also helped the Allied achieve victory in the Pacific campaign as well," Quast explained. “Once we started putting radar into American bombers and torpedo bombers, that’s when the tide started to kind of turn,” he said."The newly incorporated radar systems allowed American planes to successfully conduct night missions against a powerful Japanese fleet, which controlled the Pacific for most of the war," said Quast.Like its use in WWII, electronic warfare has become a cornerstone in today’s military ops. One of the most important pieces of that cornerstone lies in the instruction and education of equipment that keeps soldiers protected. “That’s one of the reasons I really love this job,” said Quast. “I still get to be down at the company and battalion level talking to soldiers, seeing how they’re doing, and educating them.” As Quast checks the health and functionality of vehicle systems, he will quiz soldiers on the basic “know-hows” of the systems, and respond to questions that they may have. From his perspective, soldiers seem very attuned to what he has taught them.“Today’s soldier is very technologically oriented; they catch on very quickly,” he said. “A lot of the time they want to know more about it. It almost gets to the point where you have to stop talking.”"The limits of modern technology are constantly being tested, and as that happens, the Army’s electronic warfare program will adapt and evolve with it," said Quast.


The video is unfortunately not embeddable, but you’ll want to follow this link to see Reds prospect Billy Hamilton steal the show — pun intended — at last night’s Arizona Fall League Rising Stars Game.
The 22-year-old gets a nice jump and snags second base rather routinely, then darts over to third after the next pitch while the catcher is attempting to deliver the ball back to the mound. Just watch the video.
Hamilton swiped a record 155 bases this past season between High-A Bakersfield and Double-A Pensacola. He is projected to play center field at the major league level and should be able to climb his way to Cincinnati by the end of the 2013 campaign.
The Padres announced on Sunday that the club signed pitcher Jordan Lyles to a one-year major league contract with a club option for 2019. According to Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports, Lyles will earn $750,000 in 2018. Pitcher Travis Wood was designated for assignment to create room on the 40-man roster for Lyles.
Lyles, 27, had miserable results between the Rockies and Padres last season, compiling an aggregate 7.75 ERA with a 55/22 K/BB ratio over 69 2/3 innings. While he specifically gave up 24 earned runs in 23 innings across five starts with the Padres, it was a small sample. A full season at the pitcher-friendly Petco Park, as opposed to Colorado’s Coors Field, might help revitalize his career.
Wood, 30, went to the Padres at the non-waiver trade deadline from the Royals this past season. Overall, the lefty posted an aggregate 6.80 ERA with a 65/45 K/BB ratio in 94 innings. He’ll earn $6.5 million this season and has an $8 million mutual option with a $1 million buyout for 2019. So, the Padres are just eating $7.5 million minus the league minimum, assuming Wood latches on elsewhere.
