Even though the Major League post-season is in full swing, the biggest news of the week for Canadians did not involve Joey Votto, Justin Morneau or Roy Halladay. The biggest news was that Greg Hamilton's plucky Team Canada defeated Puerto Rico 14-6 on Monday to qualify for next year's Pan-Am Games and for the next World Cup of Baseball. The win was huge. Manager Ernie Whitt's Team Canada had its backs to the wall. A loss to Puerto Rico would have dropped them out of the Top 5 and out of the qualifiers, but they came up big against the host Puerto Ricans.
The starter Scott Diamond (Guelph), playing Triple-A in the Braves' system, went four strong innings but had no decision as Canada pulled ahead for good from a one-run deficit in the seventh inning by putting up five runs. Overall, Canada had fourteen hits including homeruns from Chris Robinson (Dorchester), Adam Stern (London), Scott Thorman (Cambridge), and Jamie Romak (London) who smacked his fifth of the tourney. Robinson was 5-for-6 with three RBI's. Canada qualifies for the Pan-Am's for the first time since they were in Winnipeg in 1999. Congrats to Greg Hamilton and his scrappy program that continues to move this country forward as a force in world baseball. On to the Mailbag.
Q-Hi, Richard -
Love the mailbag. I have to ask – what's up with Shaun Marcum's attitude towards Roy Halladay? During spring training he came out with comments about how Doc was so intense, everybody had to walk on eggshells, etc. When Sportsnet aired the Jamie Campbell interview with Marcum, Ricky Romero, Bandon Morrow and Brett Cecil on the final weekend of the season, the question came up again and Marcum jumped all over it with the same comments. Nothing good to say about Doc at all. In fact, it really seemed like there was true animosity there. Sure, Doc was (is) intense, but look at the results! (E.g. first post-season no-hitter in 54 years, thank you.) Maybe some of the Jays (pitchers and hitters alike) could benefit from being a bit more intense, rather than showing the fans how much fun it is to be really rich, pull silly pranks on your teammates – and, oh, not smell the playoffs. Any insights into Marcum's attitude?
Corey Perrin, Fredericton, NB
A-In terms of potential bombshells blowing up in the Jays' clubhouse, it's a non-starter. “Crank up the Crapola Gay” is the truth when it comes to Marcum and his continuing, mostly well-intentioned attempts at leadership in moving him and his teammates beyond the Roy Halladay Era. Yes, Marcum, at 28, is trying to be a leader among the young starters and that's good, but the fact is that he is basically making comments about Halladay's negative influence in the clubhouse for the other young starters in 2009, from a year in which Marcum wasn't even there. He's going off of hearsay and is being quite strong in his comments for someone that didn't go through it. Yes he was there in '08 but so were A.J. Burnett and a different, more experienced cast of starters. Tension in the clubhouse was not an issue in '08 but became one in '09?
There was nothing tense around Burnett and his pie-in-the-face for after game interviews, nerf-tipped rocket launcher in the clubhouse mentality. But they didn't win then either. In '09 when, according to Marcum and the others, you should have been able to cut the tension with a chainsaw, Marcum spent the season rehabbing from Tommy John surgery – first at minor-league camp and then at various Jays' minor-league teams before being shut down and sent home. During the horsehide October Crisis with Cito's leadership questioned, Marcum was at home.
- If Brett Cecil felt intimidated by Halladay in '09 and believed he had to cut a wide path around Doc's locker and be careful and act differently in his presence, maybe Cecil should look in a mirror. Going from 7-4 in '09 with Halladay in, improving to 15-7 this year when the Doctor was out has more to do with being 22 to 23 years old and with adding a devastating changeup than with who he lockered next to.
- If Jays pitchers felt like Halladay was hogging the attention of pitching coach Brad Arnsberg, maybe they should blame Arnsberg who would definitely spend inordinate amounts of time sitting with Halladay, maybe the guy who needed him the least. Doc is so focussed he would not have noticed.
- If Jays pitchers resented the media coverage and attention garnered by Halladay while he was with the Jays, it's only because he was the best pitcher in the AL, certainly not because he was the best quote – unless the words “fun” and “neat” and “nice” make you the next great orator of your generation.
- The Halladay criticisms started at the end of spring training this year when Marcum had a press briefing about being named Opening Day starter. That's where he detailed the new attitude in the clubhouse. It's where his perception of leadership as the Opening Day starter taking over from Doc took hold. There was nothing malicious about his intent but it continued to grow as a reality. It seemed to be working, so like those T-shirts with inspirational messages that certain groups use to create unity, he kept preaching the message of “better without Doc” and it kept working.
- The fact is the “better without Doc” argument is hard to support. All the tension on the Jays' young starters prior to 2010 was internal. Face it, the real reason Doc always comes to do his training at 5:30 a.m. at spring training is so that he can be alone. Young pitchers thought they needed to follow what Doc did to impress him. All it does is annoy him because now he needs to share the weight room and wait for them to catch up on his ironman runs. The real improvement in the rotation was as a result of Bruce Walton's nurturing coaching style, his all-inclusive manner with the starters and bullpen and in insisting that it was easier to take 12 miles per hour off your fastball (called a changeup) than to add 12 miles per hour to your fastball (called impossible). The Jays' rotation improvement was also as a result of maturing as pitchers. To present the argument that any MLB clubhouse or rotation would be better by removing the best pitcher in the game makes no sense. But whatever works. And it worked.
You mentioned the Jamie Campbell interviews. I just wanted to comment that I feel Campbell did a great job with the Sportsnet pre-game show all season and that he may have found his niche. Maybe the fact of his already having had the experience in the booth as play-by-play man gave him the insight to confidently do his new job as host and bridge to Buck Martinez and his colour analyst. Maybe it was his Joe-Carter-career-moment at the Vancouver Olympics calling Canada's first-ever gold medal on Canadian soil that relaxed his on-air work. Campbell was already a keen baseball historian and truly enjoys creating some of those offbeat background features and vignettes.
What are the possibilities that Jays are, in fact, ready to contend next year? With the Rays set to lose Carl Crawford, Carlos Pena and Rafael Soriano PLUS having their payroll cut to around $50 million, is it not reasonable to expect them to regress? I've also read that the Red Sox are viewing 2011 as a “bridge year.” To me, the AL East in 2011 looks like the Yankees up top, with the four other teams fighting for second. If the Jays can fill a few holes, I can't see why they won't be the one team that floats to the top, hopefully challenging for the wild card.
Eric Ashby, Toronto
A-The carefully optimistic GM of the Jays, Alex Anthopoulos has said that he won't tell this team when it will become a contender, that the team will tell him. What that means to me is that he will not automatically spend those extra few dollars for what is perceived by optimistic fans as that last missing piece of the puzzle in this upcoming off-season, but if the club gets off to a jackrabbit start in 2011 and stays strong at the trade deadline, while other teams look vulnerable, then he may go out and get that same piece in July to take a run at it in the second half of 2011. Oh sure, A.A. will make winter trades when available and use minor-league inventory to add major-league pieces and likely get the real payroll back up to around $80 million, but in his mind he is still rebuilding. The 2011 schedule has a daunting look in April and May with a really tough stretch of travel and roadwork. As such it will be tough to create that platform scenario in which Anthopoulos will be encouraged to make those moves.
You are right about the Rays. Their window of opportunity may have slammed on their fingers with Cliff Lee's domination of David Price in Game 5 of the ALDS. They still have some nice players on hand and the rotation is young enough to carry them for the next couple of seasons before they price themselves out of the Bay area, but even then the Rays will have significant holes in the lineup with young players to fill them. As for Boston, never count the Red Sox out. If Jacoby Ellsbury and Dustin Pedroia return healthy and strong and if they re-style their pitching staff, they have the financial resources to contend again. Their fan base will never accept rebuilding, so “bridge year” is just GM Theo Epstein code for “don't bother me until I'm finished what I'm doing.” Calling it a bridge year also allows him a smokescreen to explore the possibility of getting rid of Jonathan Papelbon.
Q-I read some of the letters re: the Jays for 2011. But what does it matter if we have no access to these games on T.V. I have not seen too much of a protest from fans regarding what Sportnet ONE has done. I just don't understand how they could take 25 ballgames away from us. Why isn't anyone protesting or picketing Rogers all over Canada? In my books, this is just plain greed. I don't know how many games we are going to get but missing one is enough to anger me, and some say you don't want to make me angry.
Doris Mac Neil, Cobourg, Ont
A-Well, Doris, one thing I do know is that I certainly don't want to make you angry. If this was the CBC we were talking about that was screwing Jays fans then it would be easier to do something as a large group of disgruntled, tax-paying citizens of this great country. But Sportsnet is not the CBC and Rogers Media is not Canada – although it has a larger surplus. We support Rogers by using their wireless phones, their Internet, by renting their videos then paying their late fees, and by paying to watch what used to be free on Sportsnet ONE – where available. The way to protest is by cutting out your patronage on other of their services and letting them know why you are doing it. The media has pointed out the “money-grab” perception that fans have of Rogers’ greed, but we get the same e-mails at the Rogers tower and they have not responded. We are learning the future of sports is pay-per-view.
Thanks for the columns. Roy Halladay's no-hitter in Game 1 of the NLDS was brilliant. Given what he's accomplished (and may still accomplish) compared to current generation pitchers, what do you think of his chances of getting into The Hall? And if he does, do you think he'll be wearing a Jays cap?
Dave O'Grady, Waterloo
A-Halladay is 33-years-old. If he averages 20-plus games won for the next six years until the age of 39, he will have 289 wins. At that point, and, actually, even a year before that, he would have what it takes to be a Hall-of-Famer. Take into account his complete games compared to his peers, his win-percentage (.633) compared to history, his 200-plus strikeouts per season for a guy that preaches pitching to contact and add to that the fact that for the last four years he has been high in the mix of any argument regarding the game's best pitcher and for me those are Hall-of-Fame credentials. A World Series win would be the capper. However, if he does attain those numbers of wins in the upcoming seasons, he would likely go in wearing a Phillies' hat but with hundreds of admiring Jays fans driving down from Toronto for the induction in any case. One also hopes that Doc's future presence in the Hall-of-Fame clubhouse won't cause those other happy-go-lucky Hall-of-Famers to become too tense and uptight. Let's just laugh and have a good time, Doc. Don't fog up the windows at Cooperstown.
Love the mailbag. Quick question about the final out of Doc's no-hitter. Correct me if I am wrong, but if the ball makes contact with the bat in fair territory (which replays clearly show occurring), isn't the batter automatically out? Obviously it's a moot point, as Carlos Ruiz made a great play, but I am curious.
Thanks for your hard work.
Josh S., Windsor
A-That same question was asked in the immediacy of the win on Oct. 6 and I think it was the great ESPN.com writer Jayson Stark that completed the investigation and found the answer. It seems there is a fine line of semantics that explains the ruling. See if you can spot the difference. Apparently if the bat hits the ball in fair territory the out can be automatic but if the ball hits the bat it is in play. The difference is that Phillips did not drop his bat on the ball as it rolled up the first base line. He had dropped his bat in the field of play when he realized it was fair and the dribbler rolled into his discarded weapon. That was the explanation. You're right, Ruiz made a great play on it from his knees. The follow-up question is would the umpire have called Phillips out for running down the line in fair territory, which he did? That would have been a chance for Jim Joyce to be 1-1 for '10 in no-hitters.
I really enjoy your columns and blog. I was watching the Yankees celebrate their ALDS championship with champagne, and couldn't help but think it looked a bit ridiculous. The same thing happened when teams clinched the wild card. You don't see any other sport celebrate reaching a milestone on the way to a championship as hard as baseball. I can understand that in the past when you finished first at the end of the season you were the League Champion and that was worth celebrating. I could even understand continuing the tradition when teams won their division when there were only two in each league. But now with eight playoff teams, shouldn't the champagne remain on ice until you win a series (LCS perhaps) closer to the championship? What do you think?
Nauman Vania, Oshawa
A-I agree completely. The wild-card celebration was silly. “Hey fans, look at us. We're the best second-place team in all of baseball – well, uh, at least one of the leagues. Yay!” The Yankees should have at least had to settle for some cheap brand like Ballatore Spumanti as the champagne of choice instead of the really good stuff. By the time the World Series champs are crowned they will have sprayed each other four times. Pretty soon you'll see Derek Jeter on TV endorsing scuba goggles. I agree with you – wild card? No! Division Series? No! LCS and World Series? Yes. It was almost embarrassing to watch some of the veterans on all clubs try and act like they were really enjoying the hijinks when deep down they're saying, “Hey boys, settle down, we've got three series and 11 wins to go before we celebrate.”
Non-Jays question, but I'm a huge fan of both them and your work. I understand that your son is currently the coach of OUA's Guelph Gryphons. What are your thoughts on Ontario university baseball as an alternative to young players who may not be able to make that jump to D-1 ball (or other American college competition). Also, as a Guelph alum, Go Gryphs!
Jay Reimer, Mississauga
A-Since you brought it up, congratulations to my son Matt Griffin on being named OUA Coach of the Year for the 2010 baseball season. As for the quality of OUA baseball, it is a relatively new varsity sport and is still growing in terms of being an option for this country's elite midget-age players. Unfortunately, the ultimate for young players, drummed into their heads by previous generations of young players and adults, is to be recognized by a U.S. university and to earn a scholarship or partial scholarship to a college in the States, any college – 10 points if you can tell me where Carl Sandburg J.C. is located. My esteemed colleague Bob Elliott of the Toronto Sun has a fabulous Canadian baseball website called The Baseball Network that has a list of all the kids currently in the U.S. listed on college rosters. It's an impressive site and an impressive number, but the truth of the matter is that even if a player is down there on a scholarship, by comparison the Canadian university system, paying full freight, is a more cost-efficient way to a good education, while still allowing for young players to pursue a competitive baseball schedule.
There have been a couple of kids drafted out of the OUA over the years, but it's not because nobody is watching. If you have the talent and you are playing OUA baseball, scouts will find you. Every MLB organization scouts Canada. The Jays have Kevin Briand on the prowl. The A's have Matt Higginson living here as a fulltime scout. They are both Canadian. Andrew Tinnish is the Jays' scouting director and he played at Brock University in the OUA. There are scouts from every team on the look-out for Canadian talent wherever it performs. The problem with OUA baseball right now is the depth of the talent – but it's improving. There are good players on every university team, but they need more of the quality players, the ones that go away for a year or two at two-bit junior colleges in the States so they can say I played on scholarship in the States. They need some of these players to get realistic and stay home, get an education and play ball.

RH POLO TEAM RULES THE QUEENS CUP
18TH JUNE 2017 | GUARDS POLO CLUB
RH and La Indiana were ready to battle out seeking for the prestigious Trophy with fair chances for both sides to win the crown. RH reached the finals undefeated; La Indiana, on the other hand, had only one loss, against Sommelier.
The first chukker had a solid start with both teams studying each other, until the first score arrived. The first one to find some spaces and score was Rodrigo Andrade just minutes away after the kick-off. The Brazilian champion in 2013 with Zacara, and playing his second season with RH, has been one of the key players in the team’s structure during this year. Up next, Tommy Beresford appeared to score and raised the gap, 2-0. But Tincho Merlos had an opportunity from the 30 yards that put La Indiana only one goal behind RH, 1-2. After the following throw-in Nic Roldan had a chance but couldn’t make it. The game was non-stop.
Two minutes into the second chukker Tincho Merlos took the ball 60 yards away from RH’s goal and hit it very precisely to tied up in 2. But it was then that Adolfo Cambiaso started to appear to lead his team and the whole show. Beresford scored again for RH, and later on Cambiaso took a 60 yard penalty to make it 4-2. The first half came to an end with a new 2-1 period for RH and a global score of 6-3. You could say the score was fair.
But the fourth chukker threw out the most recognized version of La Indiana, the one that we got used to in the last few tournaments. The influence of coach Pite Merlos was very clear, just as it happened against Murus Sanctus in the semifinals and in the same fourth chukker. Tincho Merlos closed the gap after the following throw in. And up next Nic Roldan, who was very close some seconds before, scored twice to take La Indiana to a 7-6 lead. Tincho Merlos scored again, but the relief finally arrived for RH after a goal by Cambiaso.
The fifth chukker was maybe the most even one in the whole afternoon, with two very established teams in the field who shared each other a goal. The advantage into the sixth chukker was 9-8 to La Indiana.
But in this last period RH showed why they reached this instance unbeaten and why Adolfo Cambiaso is who he is. First, he tied the game with 9 each and when it looked as if the match was heading to an extra chukker, the player of La Dolfina took the ball on the boards, ran with it, and even though the bell rang he had enough time to score and that was it. Celebrations all around for RH and all the staff.
RH polo team won the match by 10-9 , remaining undefeated throughout the tournament. All and all, it was a wonderful season for the RH Polo Team.
The most valuable award was secured by Tommy Beresford and the best pony of the tournament was awarded to Caraqueña, who was played by Adolfo Cambiaso.

When it came to election hacking by the Russians, we kind of all thought that the sources had been identified. We also thought that the victim States had been notified of who did what to whom and when. Not so fast. As a matter of fact, it was not fast. States are just now finding out about whether they were victims of hacking attempts. Really? As long as we are asking, whatever happened to that report on our own government’s attempts to penetrate election systems?
As Written, reported and seen first by the Associated Press:
The federal government on Friday told election officials in 21 states that hackers targeted their systems before last year’s presidential election.
The notification came roughly a year after U.S. Department of Homeland Security officials first said states were targeted by hacking efforts possibly connected to Russia. The states that told The Associated Press they had been targeted included some key political battlegrounds, such as Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin.
The AP contacted every state election office to determine which ones had been informed that their election systems had been targeted. The others confirming were Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Iowa, Maryland, Minnesota, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas and Washington.
Being targeted does not mean that sensitive voter data was manipulated or results were changed. A hacker targeting a system without getting inside is similar to a burglar circling a house checking for unlocked doors and windows.
Even so, the widespread nature of the attempts and the yearlong lag time in notification from Homeland Security raised concerns among some election officials and lawmakers.
For many states, the Friday calls were the first official confirmation of whether their states were on the list — even though state election officials across the country have been calling for months for the federal government to share information about any hacks, as have members of Congress…….

A person carrying variants of two particular genes could be almost three times more likely to develop multiple sclerosis, according to the latest findings from scientists at The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston and Duke University Medical Center.
One of these variants is in IL7R, a gene previously associated with MS, and the other in DDX39B, a gene not previously connected to the disease.
The discovery could open the way to the development of more accurate tests to identify those at greatest risk of MS, and possibly other autoimmune disorders, the researchers said.
The findings are published in the latest issue of Cell.
A disease in which the body's own immune system attacks nerve cells in the spinal cord and brain, MS is a major cause of neurological disease in younger adults, from 20 to 50 years of age, and disproportionally affects women. While treatable, there is no cure for MS, which can lead to problems with vision, muscle control, balance, basic body functions, among other symptoms, and could lead to disability.
Available treatments have adverse side effects as they focus on slowing the progression of the disease through suppression of the immune system.
Thanks to the collaboration between scientists at UTMB, Duke, University of California, Berkeley, and Case Western Reserve University, researchers found that when two particular DNA variants in the DDX39B and IL7R genes are present in a person's genetic code, their interaction can lead to an over production of a protein, sIL7R. That protein's interactions with the body's immune system plays an important, but not completely understood, role in MS.
"Our study identifies an interaction with a known MS risk gene to unlock a new MS candidate gene, and in doing so, open up a novel mechanism that is associated with the risk of multiple sclerosis and other autoimmune diseases," said Simon Gregory, director of Genomics and Epigenetics at the Duke Molecular Physiology Institute at Duke University Medical Center and co-lead author of the paper in Cell.
This new information has potentially important applications.
"We can use this information at hand to craft tests that could allow earlier and more accurate diagnoses of multiple sclerosis, and uncover new avenues to expand the therapeutic toolkit to fight MS, and perhaps other autoimmune disorders," said Gaddiel Galarza-Muñoz, first author on the study and postdoctoral fellow at UTMB.
It can sometimes take years before an MS patient is properly diagnosed allowing the diseases to progress and resulting in further damage to the nervous system before treatment begins.
With more accurate measures of risk, health care providers would be able to screen individuals with family histories of MS or with other suspicious symptoms. It could lead those with certain genotypes to be more vigilant.
"One could envision how this type of knowledge will someday lead to diagnose multiple sclerosis sooner and, now that we have promising therapies, a doctor could start the appropriate treatment more quickly. It is not out the realm of possibility to imagine a path for screening for other autoimmune diseases such as Type 1 Diabetes," said Dr. Mariano Garcia-Blanco, Professor and Chair of the department of biochemistry and molecular biology at UTMB, and co-lead author of the paper.
For Garcia-Blanco the fight against MS is personal. He was already working on research related to MS when in 2012 he found out his daughter, then in her late 20s, had been diagnosed with the disease. Garcia-Blanco said this refocused his efforts on his MS related work.
"I'm much more aware now of how the work we do in the lab could someday lead to something that can be used to help those who have to live with MS", Garcia-Blanco said.
Other study authors include Farren B.S. Briggs, Irina Evsyukova, Geraldine Schott-Lerner, Edward M. Kennedy, Tinashe Nyanhete, Liuyang Wang, Laura Bergamaschi, Steven G. Widen, Georgia D. Tomaras, Dennis C. Ko, Shelton S. Bradrick and Lisa F. Barcellos.
The research was supported by the National Institutes of Health, National MS Society Pilot Award, Duke University Whitehead Scholarship, Ruth and A. Morris Williams Faculty Research Prize funds from Duke University School of Medicine, start-up funds from UTMB and funds from Mr. Herman Stone and family for MS research.

Many coffee drinkers look down upon those who consume instant coffee. The convenience of long shelf life, the lack of waste at the end, and the ‘instant’ preparation of coffee all appear as red flags to coffee aficionados who swear by whole bean coffee.
One can’t blame them since freshly prepared coffee beans do make more flavorful and more vibrant coffee. But is instant coffee that bad? There are a few similarities and many differences between the two that are worth mentioning.
The quality of instant coffee has improved drastically in recent years. In some blind tests have shown that a sizeable number of people did prefer instant over ground coffee.
In this article, we’ll carefully compare instant vs ground coffee to help you decide which one might suit you better and get. If you brew your beans fresh every day, some of the reasons here might persuade you to convert.

[amazon box=”B074HCGPHQ, B071JVP8MC, B00I08JAYG” grid=”3″ link_id=”26493″]
Contrary to relatively popular belief, instant coffee is made from real coffee beans. Up until a certain point in the production process, the coffee beans used to make instant and ground coffee are treated similarly.
The cherries with coffee seeds are picked and then dried through either wet or dry processing. After drying, they are subjected to some final adjustments before they are ready to be shipped out, either pre-roasted or plain.
The manufacturing story ends here for those who consume ground coffee, but instant coffee undergoes several further steps before reaching supermarket shelves.
Instant coffee has seen a meteoric rise in popularity since the turn of the century. Sales have been rapidly climbing, and over half of all coffee drinkers, today consume instant coffee. A significant reason behind this is the huge convenience of the process itself.
All you need is some hot water, and you’re good to go. Unlike ground coffee, there is no waste that you need to dispose of after preparation. Instant coffee also has a much longer shelf life than ground coffee and needs lesser care in storage. This ensures that your coffee won’t degrade in quality for a reasonably long time.
The additional steps in its production process do mean that many of the flavors and oils one would find in ground coffee are absent in instant coffee. The kind of beans that are also used generally low-quality Robusta, which lends it a more prominent bitterness.
Also, if you’re only looking for that morning buzz when drinking coffee, instant only contains about half of the caffeine that is present in filter brewed coffee. The commonly cited range of the brewed coffee is 60-80 mg, whereas it is 60-120 mg.
Though the difference doesn’t sound like too much, you have much greater control over the caffeine content while brewing coffee yourself. Depending on how you grind your coffee, different amounts of caffeine are extracted from the bean. A medium ground will usually help you get the most out of your beans when making brewed coffee.
In the case of instant coffee, the caffeine content is already predetermined. It depends on how much caffeine was extracted from the coffee beans during the additional processing steps in manufacturing the coffee.
Be sure to check out “How Much Caffeine is in Instant Coffee?” for more info on instant coffee and its benefits or negative effects.
Ground coffee, as many of us know, is the best way to taste and experience the richness of a coffee bean truly. Since it is brewed for the first time in our homes, the beans still pack many of its original flavors, oils, aromas, etc., and all of those filters into our cup o’ joe.
This gives it a thicker texture, complex and more varied flavors, as well as more caffeine. However, it does spoil much faster than instant coffee. If you buy pre-roasted coffee, it is recommended that you consume your pack within a week from opening it. This is much shorter than the many months of storage you can afford with instant.
One of the most contested areas of difference between the two that hasn’t been mentioned so far is the health benefits one can derive from consuming either type.
Intuitively, one would imagine that ground coffee must be healthier since it retains more of its original compounds, but this does not seem to be the case. Report after report has shown that instant coffee packs at least as many antioxidants as ground coffee.
Instant coffee contains much less caffeine than ground coffee. It undergoes many more steps in processing, and this causes it to lose many of the features that make coffee a pleasure to drink. But it will last far longer than ground coffee and can be made within seconds if you have some hot water.

Incarnation: The History and Mysticism of the Tulku Tradition of Tibet (New)
by Thondup, Tulku
Publisher: Shambhala Publications
Book ID: 9781590308394, 1590308395
Usually available in 3-5 days
The best-selling author of The Healing Power of Mind presents a historical overview and detailed explanation of the phenomenon of incarnate enlightened beings, known as tulkus in Tibetan. A tulku, out of kindness for beings, is born again and again as a teacher who dedicates his or her life to serving others, specifically through sharing the teachings of the Buddha. He or she is usually recognized by those well-trained friends and students who were close to the previous incarnation and who have the appropriate insight to recognize their deceased master in the form of a very young child. Throughout the history of Tibetan Buddhism, tulkus have been the standard-bearers of the tradition and providers of spiritual and social guidance for both the ordained and the lay people of that culture.
The book covers the following topics: the fundamental principle of the tulku; the three kinds of tulkus; the methods for recognizing tulkus; stories of tulkus’ miracles and clairvoyance; the goals fulfilled by them; the roles tulkus have played in history; and the attainments they have displayed at death.
The Accidental Shaman: Journeys with Plant Teachers and Other Spirit Allies
Charing, Howard G
Inner Traditions / Bear & Company
After surviving a serious elevator crash in London, Howard G. Charing found he had developed healing touch as well as the ability to hear voices and experience visions--just as a healer in Italy had predicted only a week before the accident. He began using his abilities to heal but felt he needed more guidance and training. He first connected with a national spiritual healing organization, only to be told he was doing everything wrong. Then, through a friend, he discovered shamanism.
The Luminous Stone: Lucifer in Western Esotericism (Western Esotericism in Context)
Schulke, Daniel A. (ed)
Three Hands Press
Limited to 800 copies
The Arcanum of the 'fallen angel' Lucifer evokes such concepts as heresy, rebellion, pride, liberation from the bonds of demiurgic oppression, and impetus for human evolution. Meaning 'light bearer', Lucifer has, from his earliest origins, been hailed by religious and artistic countercultures as a patron saint of enlightenment -- the essential quality embodying overthrow of ignorance and the inspired process of revelation. Allied to ancient Gnostic cosmological concepti...
The Voynich Manuscript
Yale University Press
Many call the fifteenth-century codex, commonly known as the Voynich Manuscript, the world s most mysterious book. Written in an unknown script by an unknown author, the manuscript has no clearer purpose now than when it was rediscovered in 1912 by rare books dealer Wilfrid Voynich. The manuscript appears and disappears throughout history, from the library of the Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II to a secret sale of books in 1903 by the Society of Jesus in Rome. The book s language has eluded deciphe...More

Sheida Mohammadizadeh, DDS, is recognized for her expertise in cosmetic dentistry, her attention to artistic results, and her gentle approach to dental care. If you have any concerns about the appearance of your teeth, don’t hesitate to contact Orangecrest Family Dental Practice in Riverside, California. She offers a full range of cosmetic procedures, from whitening and straightening to veneers and dentures.
Cosmetic Dentistry Q & A
What is cosmetic dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of your teeth. You may immediately think of wanting whiter teeth or filling in a gap between your two front teeth. No matter what change comes to mind, the bottom line is this: your smile is one of the most transformative features on your face, and teeth significantly impact your overall appearance.
What are the different types of cosmetic procedures?
Dr. Mohammadizadeh offers a full range of cosmetic dental procedures, so don’t hesitate to contact her office for a consultation if you have any concerns about the appearance of your teeth. Some of the most common cosmetic procedures performed include:
Professional-grade whitening treatments can be done in-office at Orangecrest Family Dental Practice or in the comfort of your own home. Either way you do it, adding some shine to your smile is an excellent and easy way to improve your appearance.
Veneers are thin, tooth-shaped coverings that are permanently affixed to the front-facing portion of your teeth, where they cover up minor cosmetic defects like cracks, chips, and staining that hasn’t responded to whitening treatments.
Dental bonding is an even less invasive way to fix minor cracks and discolorations in your teeth. Dr. Mohammadizadeh uses filling material to patch up any minor holes or fissures in your teeth that might be taking away from the beauty of your smile.
Crowns are a classic dental restoration that can entirely replace the top portion of a damaged or unsightly tooth.
If you have a fully missing tooth, Dr. Mohammadizadeh can fill in the hole in your smile with a high-quality bridge that literally “bridges” the gap between your teeth.
At Orangecrest Family Dental Practice, you can also have multiple cosmetic procedures performed at one time for a full smile makeover.
What are the benefits of cosmetic dentistry?
A smile reflects your emotions and evokes emotions in others. Smiles are an important aspect of nonverbal communication, which affects the way you interact with others. Imagine going through life never really smiling because you were embarrassed by the appearance of your teeth. Cosmetic dentistry is important for your self-confidence and overall ability to enjoy life.
Start working towards your dream smile by scheduling a cosmetic dentistry consultation with Orangecrest Family Dental Practice today. You can book your visit by phone or online.

Local heat transfer coefficients and pressure drops during boiling of the dielectric liquid fluorinert FC-77 in parallel microchannels were experimentally investigated in recent work by the authors. Detailed visu- alizations of the corresponding two-phase flow regimes were performed as a function of a wide range of operational and geometric parameters. A new transition criterion was developed for the delineation of a regime where microscale effects become important to the boiling process and a conventional, macroscale treatment becomes inadequate. A comprehensive flow regime map was developed for a wide range of channel dimensions and experimental conditions, and consisted of four distinct regions – bubbly, slug, confined annular, and alternating churn/annular/wispy-annular flow regimes. In the present work, phys- ics-based analyses of local heat transfer in each of the four regimes of the comprehensive map are formu- lated. Flow regime-based models for prediction of heat transfer coefficient in slug flow and annular/ wispy-annular flow are developed and compared to the experimental data. Also, a regime-based predic- tion of pressure drop in microchannels is presented by computing the pressure drop during each flow regime that occurs along the microchannel length. The results of this study reveal the promise of flow regime-based modeling efforts for predicting heat transfer and pressure drop in microchannel boiling.

Written in 1911, No Surrender is a novel that epitomises the suffrage movement, giving voice to the women whose lives were swept up in the struggle.
‘A political novel cannot be successful without well-written characters: it is therefore also a love story between Jenny Clegg and the Independent Labour Party member Joe Hopton. And it is about powerful female friendship fostered through a common cause. But like most of the (surprisingly few) novels that emerged from the women’s suffrage movement, No Surrender’s importance comes from its documentation of social history; it is polemical but not without complexity; it accurately portrays the arguments of the anti-Suffragists alongside those of the heroines, and it is a passionate account, full of enthralling detail and political fervour.’ Lydia Fellgett, from the introduction to No Surrender

From The Bends in 1995 to Kid A in 2000, Radiohead morphed from an artsy, grandiose Britpop band to an artsy, grandiose avant-rock group. That’s the obvious story, and it’s true. But there’s another way to look at Radiohead’s metamorphosis: 1997’s OK Computer begins a progression from presence to absence, from assertiveness to near-disappearance.
Radiohead’s 1993 alt-pop hit "Creep" may now seem like a bizarre historical footnote, but to me it actually cuts to the core of their aesthetic. The trick with that song was that it asked "What the hell am I doing here?" while the music left no doubt that Radiohead knew exactly what they were doing there, with the wall-of-sound guitars, soaring falsetto and especially Jonny Greenwood’s guitar-hero chunka-chunkas before the chorus. It was kind of a ridiculous song, but there was something admirable about the way it attempted to cut through its own self-hatred.
The Bends stuck to the same script: here were songs about "Fake Plastic Trees" and "waiting for something to happen" that seemed to want to cut through plasticity, and that knew exactly what they wanted to happen. Musically, The Bends was all about confidence and clarity.
With OK Computer, though, Radiohead started erasing itself - Thom Yorke stopped enunciating, and started obscuring his voice with distortion. The songs still soared, though, and it seems to me that OK Computer is still so much-loved not only because of its dystopian theme, but because it’s basically coherent - the songs are still songs.
So the most important change from OK Computer to Kid A, for me, wasn’t that Radiohead started more thoroughly exploring electronics or free jazz. It was that they stopped writing songs, and in so doing, became more like their narrators: meek, introspective, and confused. I don’t mean that in an entirely pejorative sense, but I do feel like something’s been lost.
In Rainbows is pretty much exactly what we’d expect - not quite as strange as Kid A, not quite as rock-based as 2003’s Hail to the Thief, and not quite as paranoid as Yorke’s 2006 solo album The Eraser. Like a lot of Radiohead’s recent material, it’s the sort of thing that might sound amazing live, but that doesn’t fare as well under the spotlight of high-fidelity recording.
The pieces - again, "songs" doesn’t really seem like the right word - mostly seem like the byproduct of jams, almost as if Yorke wrote his lyrics by singing a few catchphrases over and over until finding a couple that worked.
There’s nothing inherently wrong with this - Can, Neu! and many others have proven that jamming can create great rock music. But there are two problems when Radiohead does it. One is that they don’t seem entirely committed to the idea: their jams come in four-minute slices, not enough to really get anywhere and not nearly enough to really get nowhere.
The other is that jamming doesn’t play to their strengths, which are Yorke’s voice and their twisting chord progressions and melodies. Those things are both present on In Rainbows, but they’re undercooked - Yorke mostly mumbles, and the chord progressions, though often lovely, are a couple stages removed from being sculpted into full songs.
The first track I actually felt like listening to twice in a row - and this was on my fourth spin through the album - was "Bodysnatchers," which is the hardest-rocking track. Unlike most of the others, it actually does rock - it sounds as if someone has shaken Yorke and Greenwood (who plays one of those trademark slippery lead guitar parts that we’ve heard so few of since "Paranoid Android") by the shoulders. And Yorke repeatedly screams the words "I don’t know what I am talking about," which made me think that perhaps I was being unfair, and that I should listen to the album again.
After all, if the music is supposed to mimic the lyrics (which, since OK Computer, have seemed to describe a world drowning in so much infotainment, bureaucracy and police-state bullshit that really communicating with or relating to anyone else is just about impossible), then maybe the music is supposed to sound confused and uncommunicative. Perhaps this explains why Yorke now slurs his words when he’s perfectly capable of saying them clearly, or why Radiohead’s music now seems like jams rather than songs.
If so, this is a complex idea, and all I can do is assert that I find it really frustrating. I’m not exactly sure why, but here are a few possible reasons.
2. I’m not completely sure about this one, but being unable to relate to people and feeling disillusioned are bad, unhealthy things, and so maybe if I want to listen to music that’s about being unable to relate or feeling disillusioned, I want the music to somehow cut through that disillusionment rather than reinforcing it.
3. Again, maybe Radiohead just aren’t the band to pull this off. They’ve dedicated a lot of their time the past seven years to making bleeps and bloops and space noises, which is fine except, again, that’s not what they’re good at.
In any case, I can’t shake the feeling that In Rainbows is like watching a great movie on an amazing flat-screen TV that I’m only allowed to watch while wearing glasses with the wrong prescription. (Which almost sounds like a the subject of a Radiohead song, come to think of it.) I can sense that there’s something pretty great going on and even briefly catch glimpses of it. But as an experience, it’s a little bit maddening, and eventually I’ll want to throw away the glasses and pick up a book.

Ian Poveda joined Manchester City’s academy from Brentford in 2016 and went on to make his first team debut in his side’s 1-0 victory over Burton Albion in the EFL Cup semi-final in January 2019.
With his contract expiring after this season, the 19-year-old has been attracting interest from Leeds United, Celtic and Torino.
On January 16th, we carried a report from Tuttosport, who explained Marcelo Bielsa has personally telephoned the winger to convince him to move to Elland Road.
TuttoMercatoWeb now brings an update on the Turin club’s offer for the teenager.
It’s claimed Torino have submitted their first proposal for Poveda, but Pep Guardiola’s side have turned it down.
The website doesn’t provide any figures, but suggests the Italian side are expected to return with an improved offer in the ‘next few hours’.
TMW’s report comes as a positive news for Leeds, who can try and push themselves between Torino and the player.
Earlier reports made it clear Manchester City would like a deal which gives them some control over the player’s future, which could be where things have faltered with the Turin club.

‘Bigg Boss 17’ will be different.
Recently the promo of this show was released. Salman Khan looked quite cool in it. Three looks of Salman were seen in the promo of ‘Bigg Boss 17’.

STA helps re-write Sask. Liens Act
REGINA, Sask. – The Saskatchewan Trucking Association (STA) has helped with a re-write of the Commercial Liens Act, making it more beneficial for the trucking industry.
The most important change the group suggested for the industry is the ability of the trucker/fleet to claim a lien against goods hauled for payment of its services.
The new language also repeals all other legislation in the province regarding liens against fleets having work done on their vehicles.
If work is performed on a vehicle and the person refuses to release possession of the truck, the trucking company can make an application to the court to resolve the dispute. The applicant will be able to pay the amount of the lien in court at which point the claimant will be required to release the vehicle to the trucker. However, the court will not actually release the money until the dispute has been settled.

Given all the focus on cost savings over the last two years or more, it's a wonder that there hasn't been more focus put on application acceleration appliances.
While these appliances have been adopted by a fair number of IT organizations, it seems like quite a few more could still benefit from the multi-faceted cost savings enabled by these devices.
The first place application acceleration appliances start to have an immediate impact is by eliminating the need for separate branch servers in many cases. Everybody is always talking about the need to consolidate servers. But when you consolidate servers, end users can experience degradation in application performance. So the best way around the problem is to install an application acceleration appliance that prioritizes bandwidth allocation to mission-critical applications being accessed over a wide area network.
There are also some other key benefits to application acceleration appliances. First, they can help delay the need to upgrade network infrastructure, and secondarily, they now play a key role in disaster recovery plans because they help users to access a remote server should a local server crash. Thirdly, as virtual machines begin to migrate across the network, devices that can prioritize access to those virtual machines across a wide area network are going to become a lot more important. And finally, they can save huge amounts of money by slowing user access to frivolous Web applications, such as watching videos from ESPN, that take up large amounts of bandwidth on the corporate network.
One theory about why more IT organizations don't invest in application acceleration appliances has to do with the nature of competition in the networking space. Companies such as Cisco and Juniper sell application acceleration appliances in competition with smaller companies such as Riverbed Technology and Blue Coat Systems. But a salesperson from a networking hardware vendor would much rather see a customer upgrade their network routers and switches than opt for a less expensive application acceleration appliance. The upshot of this is that salespeople from networking vendors don't tend to highlight the capabilities of their application acceleration appliances.
Finally, divisions within the IT department tend to make the value of application acceleration less apparent. The people that can benefit most from application acceleration appliances are the people responsible for the applications, virtualization and disaster recovery. None of them tend to be networking experts, so in many cases the potential value of application acceleration is unknown to them. All they know is that they can't get something done because the network is too slow. But there's no follow-up conversation with the networking team to find out what can be done about that.
None of this means things are hopeless. There are, after all, a lot of sites happily using application acceleration appliances. But when you look at the total size of the IT market and the rate at which these appliances have been adopted, it's pretty clear that there are more customers not getting the basic idea than those that do.

Bloody Disgusting has a new clip from the next chapter of the controversial I Spit On Your Grave film franchise.
Steven R. Monroe’s I Spit on Your Grave 2 will have a L.A. theatrical engagement on Friday, September 20, 2013 and will be available on Blu-Ray Combo Pack, DVD and On Demand on September 24, 2013. In the footage, our lead, Jessica, is a model, and being treated like shit by a photographer and his crew. She’s got a right to be angry…
“Naturally beautiful, Jessica (Dallender) has just settled into New York where she, like many other young women, is trying to make it as a model. But what starts out as an innocent and simple photo shoot soon turns into something disturbingly unthinkable! Raped, tortured and kidnapped to a foreign country, Jessica is buried alive and left to die. Against all odds, she manages to escape. Severely injured, she will have to tap into the darkest places of the human psyche to not only survive, but to exact her revenge…”
The sequel stars Jemma Dallender (“Community”), Joe Absolom (Long Time Dead), Aleksandar Aleksiev (Jack Ryan), Mary Stockley, Michael Dixon, Valentine Pelka, Yavor Baharov, George Zlatarev, Peter Silverleaf and Georgi Zlatarev.
Anchor Bay Films released I Spit on Your Grave in 2010 to critical acclaim. Based on Meir Zarchi’s 1978 version, the film gained the respect of both mainstream and genre critics.

The speed of a submarine can vary significantly depending on its type, size, purpose, and environment. Generally, the speed of a submarine is classified as slow, normal or high speed. Slow speed is usually considered a speed between 5 and 8 knots, normal speed is usually considered a speed between 8 and 15 knots, and high speed is usually considered a speed between 15 and 25 knots.
As a general rule, modern nuclear submarines have a maximum speed of over 25 knots, and some can exceed 40 knots in short bursts. Submarines, however, are designed primarily for underwater operations, and they usually move slowly while submerged.
When submerged, they usually travel at 2-5 knots, as faster speeds cause too much drag and increase the risk of cavitation. When snorkeling, some of the more current submarines can reach speeds of 15-20 knots.
Additionally, some modern submarines are capable of travelling at speeds faster than 25 knots for short periods with the use of an air-independent propulsion system.
What is the fastest U.S. submarine?
The fastest U. S. submarine is the USS Seawolf-class, which can travel at speeds of up to about 35 knots (40 miles per hour). This is achieved by using a combination of nuclear power, water jets, and special hull designs for the improved hydrodynamic shape and the improved flow of water around the vessel.
These submarines are not only extremely fast, but also provide superior stealth capabilities and can remain submerged for long periods of time. They are also equipped with an array of advanced technology, including state-of-the-art sonar and navigation systems, as well as sophisticated weapons systems.
The US Navy has three USS Seawolf-class submarines in operation and plans to build up to seven more in the near future.

The fastest submarine in the world is the USS Seawolf, a U. S. Navy attack submarine. It is capable of cruising at a top speed of 35 knots (more than 40 mph). It is equipped with a custom designed waterjet propulsion system which enables it to achieve extremely high speeds while submerged and to make tight turns.
The diesel/electric-powered submarine has a range of more than 6,500 miles and can hold up to 130 crew members. In addition, it is capable of launching a plethora of cruise missiles, torpedoes, and other advanced weapons.
The USS Seawolf is considered one of the most advanced and lethal submarines in the world.
What is the top speed of nuclear submarine?
The top speed of a nuclear submarine is heavily classified by the military and is not publicly available information. However, it is estimated that some of the world’s most advanced nuclear submarines are capable of speeds in excess of 35 knots (40 mph).
While nuclear submarines can travel at higher speeds, they usually maintain a cruising speed of around 20 knots (23 mph) to conserve battery power. While exact speed records are unknown, it is believed that the US Navy’s USS Seawolf submarine holds the world’s underwater speed record for a non-propelled vessel, having achieved a top speed of approximately 37.
57 knots (43. 34 mph) during a series of sea trials in 1997.
The U. S. Navy’s most powerful submarine is the USS Ohio, a ballistic-missile submarine of the Ohio-class built by the Electric Boat Division of General Dynamics. It is the largest submarine in the U.
S. Navy, measuring 560 feet in length, displacing 18,750 tons when fully loaded, and featuring 24 vertical launch system (VLS) tubes capable of carrying Over 150 Tomahawk cruise missiles. This is the only submarine in the U.
S. fleet armed with nuclear warheads. The USS Ohio is also the second-most heavily armed submarine in the world, behind the Russian Typhoon-class submarines. The Ohio-class is the only ballistic-missile submarine in the U.
S. Navy’s fleet and is comprised of 18 vessels. The USS Ohio is the lead ship of its class and was commissioned in 1977.
Who has the most advanced submarine?
The most advanced submarine currently in service belongs to the United States Navy, and is the Virginia-class of fast attack submarines. The Virginia-class submarines are the most advanced submarines in the world due to their capability to perform multiple tasks such as anti-surface, anti-submarine, strike, intelligence gathering, reconnaissance and special operation missions.
The Virginia-class is designed to be supremely quiet and has the capability to launch cruise missiles, special operations personnel and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Diagnostic systems and high efficiency software enable the submarine’s computer systems to monitor, diagnose and adjust to minimise noise and optimise the submarine’s performance.
The Virginia-class is also equipped with the LANL MK 48 torpedo, capable of swimming and attacking targets like a mobile missile and can be operated by a single sailor. Furthermore, the Virginia-class submarines have the capability to launch Tomahawk land-attack missiles, allowing them to fire five times more accurately than previous generations.
Can an aircraft carrier outrun a submarine?
No, an aircraft carrier is not typically capable of outrunning a submarine. Aircraft carriers are large ships that move through the water using propulsion at a relatively slow speed, usually between 20-25 knots.
Submarines, on the other hand, are capable of travelling through the water at much higher speeds- sometimes as high as 30 knots. Additionally, submarines can travel both on the surface of the water and below the surface, allowing them to remain hidden and evasive.
All in all, due to their superior mobility, submarines are much more adept at outrunning an aircraft carrier.
Is a submarine faster underwater?
The short answer is yes, submarines are faster underwater than they are on the surface. Submarines typically cruise underwater at speeds of between 5 knots and 20 knots. On the surface, however, most submarines are limited to about 12 knots.
That is because when a submarine is at the surface, the water resistance is greater than when it is submerged underwater.
When submerged, the hull of the submarine is designed to enable it to slip through the water more easily, reducing water resistance and allowing it to travel at faster speeds. Because of the streamlined model of the submarine, it can travel underwater at up to three times its speed when on the surface.
In addition to the physical design, submarines have powerful propulsion systems that enable them to travel underwater at faster speeds. Most military submarines are powered by nuclear reactors that produce energy to power the powerful electric motor and inner propellers efficiently and silently.
This makes it possible for a submarine to travel underwater at higher speeds than on the surface.
In conclusion, submarines are designed to move more efficiently when submerged underwater, allowing them to reach higher speeds than when on the surface. Thanks to the powerful nuclear propulsion systems and streamlined design, submarines can travel at speeds up to three times their surface speed when submerged.
What depth will crush a submarine?
The exact depth a submarine can withstand before being crushed will depend on the design of the submarine and the type of material it is made from. Generally, submarines are designed to be able to withstand underwater pressures at depths greater than 800 meters (2,625 feet).
This is called the “crush depth” or the “absolute depth” and is the depth at which the pressure of the water is greater than the strength of the materials of which the submarine is made. As such, while any submarine will take some damage at depths greater than 800 meters, most submarines made out of modern materials can withstand much greater depths without being crushed.
The Deepsea Challenger, for example, was built to withstand pressures at depths of 11,000 meters (36,089 feet).
How fast can nuclear subs go?
Nuclear submarines are capable of reaching speeds of up to 25-30 knots when submerged, or around 30 miles per hour, much higher than conventionally powered submarines. Nuclear submarines use a combination of highly efficient propulsion systems and reactors to handle the tremendous power needed to push them forward at such speeds.
However, these vessels can reach even higher speeds when necessary, with a few boats reportedly reaching in excess of 35 knots when pushed to the limit. Furthermore, nuclear submarines can remain underwater for much longer than conventional vessels – up to several weeks in some cases – thanks to their reactors, which both power the engines and provide them with oxygen.
Do submarines travel faster above water?
No, submarines generally travel faster when submerged beneath the water. This is due to their streamlined shape, which reduces drag and increases their speed, as well as the fact that they are designed to be most efficient when they are below the surface.
When a submarine is above water, it must displace the air around it, meaning it experiences more drag and thus travels slower. Moreover, when submarines are surfaced, they are often limited to lower speeds due to the increased risk of detection and the potential to be damaged by an attack.
Do submarines hit whales?
No, it is extremely rare for submarines to hit whales. Modern submarines are incredibly sophisticated and employ a variety of safety measures to prevent such collisions. Submarines have advanced sonar systems that detect the presence of large objects, such as whales.
If a whale is detected, the submarine will then take evasive action to avoid the whale.
In addition, most navies have established protocols and operating procedures that are designed to minimize the risk of collisions with whales. For example, some navies limit the speed of their submarines while they are operating in areas that are known to have a large whale population.
Furthermore, some navies have even equipped their submarines with training programs that alert the crew to the presence of whales and the need to maneuver away in order to avoid the animals.
It is also very unlikely for a whale to mistake a submarine for its natural prey. Whales primarily eat plankton, krill and fish, and submarines are simply too large for them to consider as a potential meal.
Therefore, submarines rarely, if ever, hit whales.

Baghdad Clinches New Zubair Deal With Eni But Shell Majnoon Talks Hit Wall
Iraq’s Oil Ministry has agreed a new 850,000 b/d plateau target for Eni’s Zubair development, but similar talks for Shell’s Majnoon seem to have broken down.
In addition to lowering Eni’s plateau production from 1.2mn b/d to 850,000 b/d Baghdad has agreed to extend the contractual plateau duration from seven to 15-20 years. This follows a January agreement...

The post-position draw today for the seven Breeders' Cup races left some horses marooned for Saturday's card and set the stage for a blistering early pace in the $1 million Sprint.
Woodbine's turf course, the only one in North America that encircles the main dirt course, is unforgiving for horses who have to rally wide.
Both grass races, the $1 million Mile and $2 million Turf, attracted full fields of 14, with top contenders in each race having to start from post 11 or worse.
In the Mile, Smooth Runner, who won the Poker Handicap at Belmont Park on July 4, drew the outside post, meaning all 13 horses he has to beat in the race will be starting to his inside.
The European hotshot Mark of Esteem, the race favorite, did only slightly better, landing post 11.
The 1 1/2-mile distance of the Turf normally would minimize poor starting positions, but Woodbine's oddly shaped course penalizes horses with outside draws.Continue reading the main story
The Woodbine course has an abbreviated run to the first turn, then a dogleg that ends with a sharp, hairpin turn to send the horses onto the backstretch. Horses on the outside can take the worst of it. The Canadian grass star Chief Bearhart ended up in post 14. Awad, winner of the 1995 Arlington Million and the Turf's second choice at 4-1, is stuck in post 12.
The six-furlong Sprint produced an intriguing lineup when the horses who figure to have the best early speed -- Appealing Skier, Lord Carson and the filly Capote Belle -- ended up with the inside three posts, which bodes a terrific battle.
All three must be used from the inside to maintain position, but a three-way duel for the lead could hurt each runner's chances.
''Something has to give,'' said D. Wayne Lukas, who trains Lord Carson. ''There's going to have to be some decisions there.''.
Sunny, Heavy Wagering
The weather may yet smile on the Breeders' Cup. Although a slow-moving storm came through the area today, leaving the main track sloppy for the evening's racing, the forecast for Saturday is encouraging.
A spokesman for Weather Consultants of Canada said it should be sunny on race day, with temperatures in the mid-60's. Woodbine's main track dries quickly, so if the forecast is accurate, the dirt surface should be fast. The recent rain, however, is likely to leave the turf course a bit soft, with the backstretch having the worst footing.
Seven for Stevens
Gary Stevens is the only jockey with mounts in all seven Breeders' Cup races. . . . There is a third, inner course at Woodbine used for harness racing. It has been painted green this week, at the request of NBC, to provide a more suitable background as the horses run on the adjacent main dirt surface. . . . The English bookmaker Coral, one of the country's best-known shops, was quoting Mile favorite Mark of Esteem today at 11-10 odds, the shortest price of any of the European shippers.
Gold Fever at Aqueduct
Gold Fever won the opening-day feature at Aqueduct yesterday, beating Crafty Friend by a neck in the $111,200 Discovery Handicap for 3-year-olds.
Gold Fever, ridden by Mike Smith, covered 11/8 miles in 1:491/5 and paid $8.60, $5.30 and $4.50 for his third victory in 11 starts this year.Continue reading the main story


text: Fragments of a space rocket were found in the waters off San Pedro over the weekend. The story and pictures comes from Ambergris Today which show a scrap of wreckage bearing the letters "A-R-I-A" and the crest of the European Union. At first no one knew where it came from, but after a time on the Ambergris Today website - many emails and called narrowed it down to this: the wreckage is from the European Ariane Galileo, a rocket that launched satellites into orbit. This one was launched in August 2014 from French Guiana on the north Coast of South America. The parts found near the Belize Barrier reef are believed to be the steel casings that enclose the rocket boosters. These boosters fall back to earth after the rocket is launched into the atmosphere. According to information on the internet, the boosters sink to the bottom of the ocean 450 kilometers from the launch site. So, we're assuming that while the rocket boosters sank, these metal casings somehow didn't and drifted over to Belize.


For students who study abroad, jet lag is often the least of their difficulties adjusting to life back in the US. How do you begin to process everything you’ve experienced? What do you do with those memories?
The OU Writing Center offers digital storytelling workshops for students returning from overseas. Using their own words and images, they create a digital visual narrative about their experiences.
Rachel Jackson, community project director for the OU Writing Center, works with students in these workshops. She said the projects are “really beautiful stories” that speak to the influence study abroad has on students.
In coordination with the College of International Studies, the writing center works with the freshman Global Engagements Class, offered in the University College. In four visits throughout the semester, these students focus on experiences that have made them want to study overseas.
Faculty can also nominate students who have already studied abroad to participate in one of the center’s three-day workshops. These students are encouraged to share stories about their experiences, particularly moments of notable change or influence.
Working directly with students, Jackson and other writing center staff help them develop an idea for their narrative. Students then write, revise, and finally record their stories. These recordings become the voiceover narration of their videos, which are made up from students’ own pictures and videos taken while abroad.
According to Jackson, students really value the opportunity to reflect on their experience. She said this makes it easier to share their memories with others.
Jackson also said that the CIS values the stories created by students. The final projects highlight students’ experiences and achievements, as well as showcase what OU is doing for students’ opportunities to study abroad.
As for Jackson herself, she loves being in a position to listen to students’ stories and see their pictures and final products. It’s reawakened her wanderlust and desire to travel. She said she “[feels her] spirit soar with students” through their freedom and expanse of thinking.
For students who have studied overseas or are considering it, Jackson encourages them to sign up for one of the writing center’s workshops.
Here’s her advice for those students:
- Take pictures and videos horizontally. They’re much easier to watch and edit and give a wider range of focus.
- Try taking photos from different angles. “It can be a lot of fun to juxtapose,” she said. It also symbolizes the multiple perspectives students gain through studying abroad.
- Pay close attention to different textures, patterns, and details. These images can provide rich sensory information.
- Be aware of proximity when taking pictures of people and be sure to have permission for close-ups.

So, to summarize, the politicians have decided to increase our taxes not because of the huge funding shortfall, but instead plan to INCREASE spending. That's sounds remarkably like the foolish decision to increase spending by $40 million after ending the school funding. Now, how did that work out again?
Pre-K, by most studies, is a waste of money. The supposed benefits are no longer measurable after about the 3rd grade.
And BTW, who is to say that this money won't simply be diverted to some other use? How many taxes and fees have been introduced with the little sweetener that it is 'for the children'?

Church of St. Euphemia, Rovinj
The Church of St. Euphemia, often known as the Basilica of St. Euphemia, although it is not formally a basilica minor, is a Baroque church located in the heart of the historic part of Rovinj, Croatia, dominating the town.
This three-nave church was built between 1725 and 1736 over the remains of older, early Christian structures. The dedication was originally to Saint George, later to Saints George and Euphemia; the present building is dedicated to Euphemia only. Its façade dates from 1883.
The relics of Saint Euphemia are preserved in a Roman sarcophagus from the sixth century (but adapted in the 15th century). The church contains several treasures and works of art: Gothic statues from the 15th century, paintings from the 16th and the 17th centuries: Last Supper and Christ in the Gethsemane.
The bell tower resembles the tower of St Mark's Basilica in Venice. It was built during 1654–1680, to the plans by Antonio Manopola. On top of this 60 m-high tower stands the statue of Saint Euphemia, serving as a wind vane.
