It's Charlie Sheen's most beloved catch phrase. But apparently, "winning" on the set of "Major League" was accomplished with the help of steroids.
That's right. Charlie Sheen, who played Ricky "Wild Thing" Vaughn in the hit 1989 movie long before his goddess-laden, rant-filled existence of recent history, has admitted to using performance-enhancing drugs while filming the movie.
The revelation comes courtesy of Sports Illustrated, which recently interviewed the cast and crew of the seminal sports movie.
"[L]et's just say that I was enhancing my performance a little bit," Sheen said. "It was the only time I ever did steroids. I did them for like six or eight weeks. You can print this, I don't give a f---. My fastball went from 79 to like 85."
Talk about image-shattering bombshells. If you can't trust Ricky "Wild Thing" Vaughn as portrayed by Charlie Sheen, then who can you trust in the world of sports and entertainment?
Presumably Congress will not hold a hearing on this revelation.

KUALA LUMPUR (AFP) – Malaysia trimmed its 2015 growth forecast Tuesday and said its fiscal deficit would be wider than expected after the sharp fall in global oil prices threw a wrench in the petroleum-exporting nation’s economic plans.
Prime Minister Najib Razak called the situation a “reality check” but assured Malaysians the country was not in trouble, unveiling measures he said would keep Southeast Asia’s third-largest economy moving forward.
“We are not in crisis. Indeed, we are taking pre-emptive measures following the changes in the external global economic landscape which are beyond our control,” Najib said in a nationally televised speech.
Najib said the government had lowered its economic growth estimate to a 4.5-5.5 per cent range, from an earlier projection of up to 6 per cent.
The target for reducing the fiscal deficit was also tempered to 3.2 per cent of GDP, from an earlier 3.0 per cent target stated in a 2015 budget tabled three months ago.
Malaysia derives 30 per cent of state income from energy exports, and the more than 50 per cent drop in world oil prices has dragged the ringgit currency to around six-year lows and rattled investors.
The stock market has stumbled and business confidence has slid, according to surveys, and pressure had been growing on Najib to act to address the growing unease.
Many consumers complain of increasing difficulty making ends meet, particularly after a range of subsidies were lifted recently on key goods, and with the introduction of a 6 per cent consumption tax looming on April 1.
Najib announced steps to promote trade, tourism, investment, and domestic consumption while also reducing business costs, and said hundreds of millions of dollars would be allocated for recovery efforts in parts of northern Malaysia devastated by floods that began late last month.
Najib said government spending also would be trimmed, but not the 48.5 billion ringgit ($13.4 billion) budgeted for development expenditures including a slew of large infrastructure projects considered key to keeping the economy humming.
The World Bank recently shaved its GDP growth forecast for Malaysia to 4.7 per cent from an earlier 4.9 per cent, still enviable but off the historic pace for the Southeast Asian “tiger” economy.
But analysts say Malaysia should weather the storm because, with a thriving manufacturing sector, it is less dependent on energy than some other exporting countries like hard-hit Russia.

Iraq’s prime minister on Tuesday congratulated his fighters on “this big victory in Mosul” — even as fighting with ISIS militants continued in Mosul’s Old City neighbourhood where Iraqi forces are about 250 metres from the Tigris River and facing increasingly brutal resistance.
Haider al-Abadi spoke during a news conference in Baghdad, less than a week after he declared an end to the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria’s self-styled caliphate after Iraqi forces achieved an incremental win by retaking the landmark al-Nuri Mosque in the Old City.
“Praise be to God, we managed to liberate [Mosul] and proved the others were wrong, the people of Mosul supported and stood with our security forces against terrorism,” al-Abadi said.
His remarks came on the third anniversary of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi’s sermon at the al-Nuri Mosque, from where he declared an Islamic caliphate on ISIS-held lands in Syria and Iraq.
‘Fight to the death’
Also during the news conference, al-Abadi added that he has given instructions to rebuild and stabilize areas of the city already freed from the militant group.
Lt.-Gen. Abdel Ghani al-Asadi, of Iraq’s special forces, said earlier in the day that Iraqi forces are just 250 metres from the Tigris River, in the western half of Mosul. The Tigris divides the city roughly into its western and eastern half, which was liberated from ISIS militants back in January.
ISIS militants who remain trapped in just a few hundred metres of territory in the Old City are now in a “fight to the death,” al-Asadi said, adding that ISIS fighters are increasingly resorting to suicide bombings and that he expects the fighting to get even heavier as they are pushed closer to the river.
Iraqi forces marked a significant victory this week when the Rapid Response Division retook Mosul’s main hospital complex on the city’s western side.
The building that once held the city’s best medical facilities now sits devastated by the fight. For weeks, a handful of ISIS snipers perched in the main hospital’s top floors held back hundreds of Iraqi forces.
Iraqi forces launched the operation to retake Mosul, the country’s second largest city, in October. ISIS overran Mosul in a matter of days in 2014. At the height of the extremists’ power, they held nearly a third of Iraq.

|||David Hume, An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding in Enquiries Concerning Human Understanding and Concerning the Principles of Morals, ed. L.A. Selby-Bigge and P.H. Nidditch. 3rd ed. (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1975).|||
Indeed most of the writings of that very ingenious author [George Berkeley] form the best lessons of scepticism [sic], which are to be found either among the ancient or modern philosophers, Bayle not excepted. He professes, however, in his title-page (and undoubtedly with great truth) to have composed his book against the sceptics [sic] and free-thinkers. But that all his arguments, though otherwise intended, are, in reality, merely sceptical [sic], appears from this, that they admit of no answer and produce no conviction. Their only effect is to cause that momentary amazement and irresolution and confusion, which is the result of scepticism [sic]. p. 155.
What is “idealism?” We should tread very lightly with this term, for it is ever cast about in an all-too-ready manner. The temptation to univocity is as strong here as it is anywhere else, and let us admit that not all “idealisms” are equal. (Indeed—equality, what is it? Something properly said only in category of quantity1 and even there not a completely simple affair!) Still, all musings aside, they are not equal. Beyond the trite distinction between “idealism” in the sense of “unrealistic positing of ideals and goal” and the general epistemological term (applied to ever so many philosophers), there is among this latter crowd a host of distinctions frequently glided over. Often we hear of “Berkelean idealism,” “Kantian transcendental idealism,” and “Hegelian absolute idealism.” This word “idealism”–do those using it know what they say?
My inspiration for this essay is actually not Hume’s remark—though it is very, very important to remember that he saw Berkeley as the proto-sketptic in whose footsteps he could follow with the corpulent2 joy of his skeptical prose. In my last essay, I spoke about John Stuart Mill’s remark that matter is nothing more than the “the permanent possibility of sensation.”3 He admits that if this makes him a Berkeleyan, than so be it. But what is it to be a “Berkeleyan?” Need one read Berkeley as does the back cover of a recent edition of his works, stating: “Berkeley’s idealism started a revolution in philosophy. As one of the great empiricist thinkers he not only influenced British philosophers from Hume to Russell and the logical positivists in the twentieth century, but he also set the scene for the continental idealism of Hegel and even the philosophy of Marx?4“
As my readers likely know, I am not one who is gifted in the world of “texts and contexts.” Such careful, historical thought seems to come for me only with much difficulty. I am a man of much “fancy,” often “tumbling into parentheses,”5 much to the annoyance of some readers no doubt. Still, when it comes to dear Bishop Berkeley, I have a certain penchant for paying heed to his crazed positions, for I feel that some philosophy professors that I have had fail to see the problem with which he was faced—and it is one that is crucial to understanding a massive part of the problem of modern epistemology.
In the passage cited above, Hume states that Berkeley not merely was a skeptic but that he was one to the contrary of whatever his stated intentions might have been. Now, to those who know not the position of Berkeley, we might summarize it in his remark esse est percipi—“to be is to be perceived.” Likely, though, this will not function to explain his thought in any particularly deep manner, for it seems counter-intuitive. Is it really the case that something can only exist if it is perceived? The classic (classic… or overused) example is: “If a tree falls in a forest, does it make a sound?” Another—much to the annoyance of first-year philosophy students: “Does my chair exist, now that we cannot see it—given that I just pitched it out the door?”
The first, “classic” example is more helpful to explain the problem. What is a sound? Clearly, there is a sense in which the experience of a sound, an appearance or a “fancy” (in the language of our recent and semi-regular guest, Hobbes) seems to occur “in” us. When we talk about sounds, our discussion is quite different in character than our discussion about what is “out there”—what the sound “really is.” Still, this is all rather mysterious—and far, far more difficult to describe than we may at first think. We will not solve it here, but let us appreciate its simple and homey discussion in our dear British, Irish, and Scottish thinkers.
Berkeley inherited a theme that really is quite old, namely how is it that bodies effect some change that is non-bodily? It is from Locke that he inherits the outline of this problem, and in particular it is the problem of substance—a certain “I know not what”6—behind all the properties. Now, there are two lines of attack that Berkeley undertakes in his Three Dialogues between Hylas and Philonous as well as his Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge. On the one hand, he critiques the notion of abstract universal ideas. On the other hand, he collapses the famous distinction between primary and secondary qualities. Several remarks about this latter “attack” are helpful for our reflections.
The distinction in question refers to Locke’s distinction between primary and secondary qualities. The former are things like bulk, figure, number, situation, motion, and rest, all found in things themselves whether or not they are perceived. The latter are things like color, sound, and taste. On the august authority of Locke, the connection between these two qualitative levels is undiscoverable.7 However, behind all of these qualities—even the supposed “primary” ones, is the original substance itself: the “I know not what” that supports the accidents / qualities that have been placed into it like little pins in a blob.8 Strip away all the primary qualities, however, and what have you? Even a “lump” or “blob” would have far too much formality and definition after such comprehensive removal. Now, what has Berkeley most vexed is that such a substance—seemingly locked in itself, unknown, and causally independent—is a cause of sensation all on its own.9 In effect, Berkeley asks, “How can one speak of ‘extension, figure, and motion’ without imagining them?” They would be imageless, and this notion of “corporeal substance,” which is independent of any sensation, is impossible and unthinkable.10 If something is completely unthinkable, how can it be the source of thought? Is the basis of all reality merely the unthinkable—can we not connect ourselves to reality?
Now, Berkeley’s solution is to state that reality itself is made up of “ideas”—by which he really does mean individual perceived “bits.” Certainly there are all related issues at play here that make his thought understandable vis-à-vis Kantian idealism. Nevertheless, his point of view is far more along the lines of an empiricistic idealism that claims to be a realism, for as he says, “I am not for chaining Things into Ideas, but rather Ideas into Things.”11 This is his attempt to connect mind and reality—something that seemed utterly impossible given that reality apparently was made of unthinkable substances in the Lockean universe, at least as he (Berkeley) had interpreted it.
For Berkeley, it was a matter of God impressing ideas on spirits: “The ideas imprinted on the senses by the author of nature are called real things.”12 The notion is wild to our sensibilities, but it is not at all that rare in modern philosophy. We may look to the French Oratorian Nicholas Malbranche to see similar positions—and Berkeley knew well that he had protect himself against accusations that he was merely restating Malbranche’s conclusions.13 However, Malbranche’s predicament—related though it is—must be told within a Cartesian environment. Berkeley’s story is, above all, one of aborted Lockeanism. But what really was to be aborted? It is to this we must turn next, discussing exactly what the “primary qualities” are—and likewise—what they are not.

Solarflare selects XJTAG Boundry Scan
UK based Solarflare Communications, a fabless semiconductor company that provides Ethernet solutions, has selected the XJTAG boundary scan solution to debug and test its EtherFabric EF1-21022T Network Interface Cards (NICs).
The XJTAG system is being used by Solarflare for debugging and testing development boards at its R&D centre in Cambridge, England and for production line testing at its contract manufacturing partner's (Jabil Circuit) facility in San Jose, California. The low profile PCI network cards contain 95% digital circuitry and feature several ball grid array (BGA) devices including a network controller and two transceiver modules as well as Content Addressable Memory, SRAM and Flash chips. The XJTAG Development System is designed for testing printed circuit boards populated with JTAG devices such as BGA and chip scale devices. Such devices cannot be effectively tested by traditional methods such as flying probes, logic analyzers, oscilloscopes and X-ray systems. Engineers at Solarflare's Cambridge operation (formerly Level 5 Networks) opted for the XJTAG system because it was the only boundary scan product that could exploit the full capability of the JTAG chain to improve the speed and accuracy of fault diagnosis, achieve high test coverage, and migrate through design to production and beyond. A production optimised version of the XJTAG system (XJRunner) has been implemented at Jabil Circuit's 181,000 square foot production site in San Jose, California where the electronics manufacturing services supplier is able to produce up to 10,000 NICs per month for Solarflare.

SINGAPORE - Avoid shaking hands during this period and adopt alternative greetings instead, said the Ministry of Health (MOH) on Friday (Feb 7) following a rise in the Republic's response to the coronavirus outbreak to code orange.
The Disease Outbreak Response System Condition level was raised to orange following the confirmation of four cases here with no recent travel history to China or links to previous cases, implying a community spread in Singapore.
In spite of this, however, health authorities say there is still no need for those who are well to wear a mask.
The director of medical services at MOH, Associate Professor Kenneth Mak, said this is because the main mode by which the virus is transmitted is through droplets.
Therefore, touching contaminated surfaces and then touching your nose, mouth and eyes could put you at risk of getting infected.
"This form of transmission is best combated by regular hand washing, and with those who are ill wearing a mask to protect others, seeing a doctor as early as possible, and avoiding going into crowded places. But for the general public, wearing a mask is not needed," said Prof Mak.
MOH has said that, even with community transmission, the most effective method to prevent transmission is through good personal hygiene. This involves regular hand washing with soap and water, and using hand sanitiser when these are unavailable.
The ministry emphasised that people should not touch their faces unnecessarily, especially if their hands are not clean.
Those who are unwell should stay at home.
If they must go out, they should wear a mask and avoid coming into close and sustained proximity with others.
Workers who come cross customers who are unwell should immediately advise customers to leave and see a doctor, added MOH.
Minister for Health Gan Kim Yong, who co-chairs the multi-ministry task force that is tackling the spread of the virus here, said: "I understand that Singaporeans are anxious and concerned, and there is much we do not know about the virus...life cannot come to a standstill, but we should take all the necessary precautions and carry on."

Do miracles exist?
Given that the best regular-season team in NBA history blew a 3-1 lead in the Finals, the Chicago Cubs won a world series, a multi-millionaire reality TV star won the American presidency, Northwestern basketball looks like a NCAA Tournament lock and freaking Corrine is still alive on “The Bachelor,” it might be safe to say so.
With these seemingly-unprecedented feats in mind, it might be too early to write off the West Coast Conference as a multi-bid league. If a 19-loss Cal Poly team can squeak into the NCAA Tournament and win a play-in game, then anything is possible. Although ESPN Bracketologist Joe Lunardi has only two WCC teams in the 68-team field, there’s still a slim chance that a third team from the conference can crash the Big Dance.
You know the drill: Here are some simple questions and answers about the WCC’s potential to send multiple teams to the big dance.
So you’re telling me there’s a chance?
Yes. Don’t laugh. This can actually happen.
Has the WCC sent three teams to the NCAA Tournament?
Believe it or not, the WCC’s three-team aspirations has a precedent. The WCC sent three teams to the NCAA Tournament in 2008 and 2012, according to sports-reference.com. In both years, Gonzaga and Saint Mary’s were two of the three teams, but in 2008 — extremely BuzzFeed voice — the third team was shocking. University of San Diego not only made it into the field of 68 but also upset 4-seed Connecticut for its only NCAA Tournament win in school history. The third team in 2012 was BYU, which isn’t as shocking, but it’s still kind of crazy that the NCAA lets in a team that’s had more losses to Pepperdine than tournament appearances in the same timespan.
Getting three teams in the NCAA Tournament was a legitimate sports take before this season started. In fact, Lunardi had three WCC teams in his field until his Nov. 17 iteration of the bracket, which was two brackets more than most people probably expected the three-team hopes to last. However, something about BYU’s win over Coastal Carolina wasn’t enough to outshine the University of Ohio’s 2-0 start with wins against Southern and Sam Houston State. (Yes BYU fans, that doesn’t make sense to me either.)
Gonzaga’s definitely a lock.
Of course they are — in fact, they’re favored to win the whole thing.
— Adam Zagoria (@AdamZagoria) February 13, 2017
Is Saint Mary’s the second team?
Yes. On paper, the Saint Mary’s Gaels look like a sure thing. They’re ranked 22nd in the most recent AP poll (they’ve been ranked all season), 22nd in RPI and all of their losses have come from teams in the top 50 in RPI, according to ESPN. Two of those losses have been to Gonzaga, which, I mean, of course they were.
Yet I’m bracing myself to see Saint Mary’s get screwed by the selection committee again. Last season, the Gaels had a 27-5 record (including a two wins over Gonzaga), a WCC regular season title, a 29th-ranked RPI under their belts and were labeled a “team that should be in” by ESPN’s Eamonn Brennan in the Mar. 8 2016 edition of his College Basketball Bubble Watch series.
But when the final bracket was announced five days later, the Gaels were royally-snubbed out of the tournament because the committee thought Oregon State, Michigan, Syracuse, Texas Tech and USC deserved to dance despite finishing at the bottom half of their conferences and losing more than 12 times. Granted, Syracuse became the only 10-seed to make a Final Four, but the other four teams were bounced in the first round.
At this point, I wouldn’t bank on the Gaels being a tournament lock. They’re one inexplicable loss away from not only tumbling out of the polls but also slipping out of being a tournament lock. If I was a Gaels’ fan, I’d be rooting for Dayton, Nevada and UC Irvine to win their conference tournaments. All three teams are in the top three of the Atlantic-10, the Mountain West and the Big West, respectively, and three wins against fellow tournament teams looks good on a mid-major school’s resume.
OK, let’s get down to business: What will it take for the WCC to send three teams to the NCAA Tournament?
Well, a lot. The only team outside of Gonzaga and Saint Mary’s with more than a one-percent chance of winning the WCC Tournament is BYU, according to Team Ranking’s figures as of press time. For the record, the Cougars have a 2.8 percent chance of pulling this off; the rest of the field combined has a .71 percent of winning the tournament. That’s not a typo.
One of the cool parts about being a West Coast Conference Basketball Degenerate(TM) is seeing such diverse styles of play. By diverse, I’m not necessarily referring to tempo, although the conference has both ends of the spectrum in that department (BYU is the fifth-fastest and Saint Mary’s is the slowest team in the nation according to KenPom’s current rankings). I’m talking about the product of the games themselves.
Last Saturday, LMU and Portland played each other in something that barely resembled a Division I basketball game: Both teams combined for 51 turnovers in a 66-60 game that neither team really deserved to win. I cannot stress this enough: The Pilots turned the ball over 31 times (!!!) and still hung around in a Division I basketball game in an opponent’s gym.
Later that evening, ESPN’s College Gameday crew traveled to Moraga to cover Gonzaga’s least winnable game. Naturally, the Bulldogs went into McKeon Pavilion, threw the Gaels’ offense out of sync, took the crowd out of the game early and neutralized Saint Mary’s center Jock Landale — all while having Przemek Karnowski playing at less-than-full strength after suffering a minor foot injury in the first half.
Long story short: Upsetting Gonzaga will be extremely difficult for any team in the WCC to do, especially considering how borderline-unwatchable most of the teams in the conference can be sometimes. The Bulldogs can lose any of their starters and will likely go undefeated. Seriously. They’ve played without some of their best players at less-than-full strength (i.e. Cousy Finalist Nigel Williams-Goss’ sprained ankle, the aforementioned Karnowski injury). Plus, they even lost 2.5-star center Jacob Larsen at the beginning of the season, who might’ve taken reserve forward Killian Tilllie’s minutes.
This Gonzaga team is more than one of its many outstanding college players. They’re deep, balanced and have been unbeatable as of late; their closest losses in conference play were still in double-digits. Unless the Bulldogs drop a game in conference play — three of the Zag’s last four games are at home and the lone road game is at USD, where Saint Mary’s held the Toreros to 27 total points earlier this month — or decide to start their walk-ons, the conference tournament looks like it’ll be a cakewalk for Gonzaga.
Hoping for a team other than Saint Mary’s to upset them this season is probably a pipe dream after all.

2 June 2021 --- As advances in biotechnology ingredients, product sustainability, local sourcing, green packaging and supply chain transparency drive beauty and personal care (BPC) brand strategies and product portfolios, we explore some of the opportunities and materials that are offshoots of the natural trend as we move into the age of conscious beauty.
Rooted in nature as its name suggests, the naturals trend is both long-standing and innovative, having given rise to many other trends. Evolving from what was once a niche category into one that has firmly found its place in the major BPC sphere, naturals is now a mainstay in the industry. Today, naturals impact product formulations, packaging design and label claims on a global stage.
“Natural and organic is the industry trend that has consistently provided double-digit growth opportunity for more than 15 years now,” reveals Innova’s Top 20 Industry-Wide Trends report released in September 2020.
During this time, there have been significant leaps forward in formulations, progressing natural actives, shifting the trend towards premium, generating authenticity through certification, and prompting greater focus on ethical and sustainability efforts in BPC.
For BPC brands in today’s evolving natural environment, there are a wide variety of segments, campaigns and product opportunities to access and run with, especially as it lends itself to such interesting innovation, captivating storytelling and collaborative campaigns.
“One of the things I absolutely love about conscious beauty is the freedom it promotes to all people about making the personal care and cosmetic choices that are best for them to feel more beautiful,” shares Belinda Carli, Cosmetics Chemist and Founder of the Institute of Personal Care Science (IPCS). “When a person feels more beautiful or empowered by their choices, they are more confident about their appearance, and this shows!”
Opportunities in conscious beauty
Click to EnlargeConscious beauty is the evolution of natural beauty and personal care.For BPC brands in the conscious beauty space, there is a wide range of opportunities available. “For brands, this means opportunities like customization and personalization or even innovative products that suit more minority groups and their choices,” adds Carli.
Brands can create strong offerings with materials that have sustainability at their core, such as products that are developed to reduce their carbon footprint as well as upcycled materials. “There is an ever-expanding amount of these types of ingredients to choose from,” says Carli.
With advances in biotechnology ingredients set to increasingly shape the BPC industry moving forward—and in a nod to the growing level of anticipated acceptability of lab-made ingredients, especially those that mimic nature—innovation in materials is already taking place.
Cosmetics chemist, Carli, also points out that the BPC industry is currently seeing “interesting and sustainable methods to produce normally synthetically produced materials,” noting some specific examples:
- Solvay’s Rhodapex ESB-70 NAT (sodium laureth sulfate), which originates from 100% sustainable carbon sources and is even certified 100% natural by Ecocert.
- Sustainable and natural sources of isoparaffin such as Lexfeel WOW range by Inolex.
- Sustainable and natural sources of alkanes such as the Emosmart range by Seppic and Lexfeel WOW range by Inolex.
“We are seeing the functionality of these traditionally synthetic materials achieved using sustainable and totally natural sources—innovative solutions to deliver sustainable options without compromising performance,” states Carli.
A word on direction
Currently, however, the definition of conscious beauty is open to interpretation and can be decided by each independent brand. “We think the definition of opportunities may need clarification,” confirms Ehrin Ziccardi, co-founder of online beauty portal, UNDRGRND Beauty.
Variations between brands when entering, making progression in, or transitioning towards conscious beauty may also look different depending on the size of the BPC player. “Though to a larger company with a portfolio of brands, the opportunity may lie in developing another revenue stream via clean, green, sustainable retailers, for the independent brand founder whose conscience is part of their brand's DNA, the opportunity grows as major retailers embrace the concept, and welcome these brands to their shelves,” says Neil Petrocelli co-founder of online beauty portal, UNDRGRND Beauty. “As they do, the reach grows beyond the 'stands for something' apothecary,” Petrocelli notes.
The shift to evolving naturalsClick to Enlarge
As we look ahead to the conscious beauty movement, Carli highlights that for BPC brands looking to leverage opportunities, appeal to consumers and achieve success, there are several core elements that conscious beauty needs to be: Conscious that regulators are ensuring consumer safety with cosmetic ingredient regulations, conscious of individual beauty, and conscious of the planet and its resources.
In recent years, the rise of natural-based active ingredients and associated technologies helped to make natural products more effective and move beyond the first generation of products. Increasingly, new brands are emerging onto the scene, progressing product development and increasing their cost, which sees more brands moving into the luxury and prestige end of the BPC market. Elegant branding, packaging design and stylish products are helping to bolster the sophistication of these products and secure their positioning, further evolving the naturals trend.
“The natural and organic movement has done more to reinvent the cosmetics and personal care industry than any other trend in recent years,” Innova’s Top 20 Industry-Wide Trends report says. As it moves into its next era, we wait to see whether the evolving naturals trend continues to have this same impact in the near future.

General manager Jack Zduriencik spent his day going over his farm system with Mariners scouts, coaches and farm director Pedro Grifol, and here are the 10 minor league prospects he added to the Seattle Mariners 40-man roster this afternoon:
[caption id="attachment_13255" align="alignright" width="200" caption="Cesar Jimenez"][/caption]
- OF Johermyn Chávez
- RHP Maikel Cleto
- LHP César Jiménez
- INF Alex Liddi
- RHP Josh Lueke
- RHP Yoervis Medina
- OF Carlos Peguero
- RHP Michael Pineda
- LHP Mauricio Robles
- RHP Tom Wilhelmsen
That 40-man roster now stands at 39, and the additions give you an idea who the Mariners see developing the soonest on the farm. Some of the names are familiar to Mariners fans - Pineda, Robles and Lueke have gotten their fair share of press the past few months.
If there are surprises, they may be pitchers Jimenez and Wilhemsen, and Zduriencik addressed them in a conference call.
"Wilhelmsen did some very positive things this year," Zduriencik said of the 26-year-old. "Give him a lot of credit for what he’s done - we valued his talent enough to put him on the roster."
Wilhemsen, a former Brewers prospect acquired last February, was 7-1 with a 2.19 in 74 innings over 15 minor league starts low in Seattle's farm system. And Jimenez, a 26-year-old who once was seen as the next situational lefty before injuries and surgery derailed him in 2008?
"The medical reports very good on him. We had high expectations two years ago. He’s had setbacks, but he’s pitched very well in winter ball," Zduriencik said. " He fits in the category of young players who will compete for a job this year in spring training."
Some of the players added to the roster came to Seattle in recent trades and had strong 2010 seasons. Chavez, 21, arrived in the Brandon Morrow trade and batted .315 with 32 home runs in Class A last year. Cleto, 21, was part of Zduriencik's Franklin Gutierrez trade and, though he's struggled thus far (4-9, 6.16 ERA last year) remains a prospect.
Liddi is a 22-year-old infield prospect who was the West Tennessee Player of the Year, batting .281 with 15 home runs and 96 RBI as a Class AA third baseman.

IAS topper Tina Dabi has never publicly spoken about the upheaval in her personal life involving husband Athar Aamir Khan, not even when reports emerged that the affable civil servant from Delhi had filed for a divorce with mutual consent. But, her latest cryptic posts have prompted her fans to link them to the traumatic experience that she has been going through in her marital life.
Tina shared her book reviews while highlighting the key passages of books. Lines highlighted by Tina talked about adversity in life and why one must never be dejected by the uncomfortable developments. One passage underlined by Tina read, “Don’t get dejected by the difficulty of it and you will succeed. Life has a surprising way of working out its problems. The only thing you have to do is have faith and keep at it.”
Another excerpt read, “Yes, things were hard at times but everything turned out to be all right in the end. And what is what matters, Moni. Everything will be all right in the end. If it isn’t, then it is not the end. ”
[Also Read:“Darkest nights produce brightest stars”: IAS topper Tina Dabi scores big with plum appointment as joint secretary (finance); writes cryptic note days after filing for divorce with Athar Aamir Khan]
Sharing her post, Tina wrote, “This is a late post. I read a lot of books over the past couple of months. I have penned my thoughts on a few in this post. I have included excerpts that I found the best. Hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed putting it together.”
Soon her fans began to link her writings to the civil servant’s personal experience. One wrote, “Ma’am ! If we deeply dig this whole thing directly relates to what you were suffering for past years . This way you are conveying how things were hard during yr marriage years. Yes ! This is a sane way to express and clr mind post Divorse also..and yes thanks for the books’ suggestions. I relly love reading books. Definitely gonna read.”
Another fan commented, “ina mam I am your great fan? and the fav line from my fav book alchemist is ” the fear of suffering is greater than the the fear itself” so never worry about yesterday or coming tomorrow just live the present to the fullest?”
View this post on Instagram
Tina was recently promoted to the post secretary in the Rajasthan government, while there were reports that Athar wanted to permanently leave Rajasthan and had even written to the ministry of home affairs for a deputation to his home state of Jammu and Kashmir.
Both Tina and Athar exchanged wedding vows in 2018 soon after completing their training programme at Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy for Administration in Mussoorie in Uttarakhand. Soon after tying the knot with Athar in 2018, Tina had updated her Instagram profile by proudly identifying herself as Tina Dabi Khan. Her bio had then described her as a “Delhiite, Kashmiri Bahu, IAS, in that order.”
But she decided to remove ‘Khan’ and the other description from her Instagram page in March this year triggering speculations that all was not well with the duo.

Thursday, Aug. 23, 2018 | 2 a.m.
With more than $380 million in estimated sales and $62 million in state tax revenue collected through 11 months, Nevada’s recreational marijuana industry is booming.
While the number of medical marijuana cardholders in the state has slipped to fewer than 17,000 from its May 2017 high of 28,000, investing in a card still has its perks.
Here are five reasons why — despite the availability of recreational pot — getting a medical marijuana card is still worth the trouble for some Nevada marijuana patients.
1. Lower age requirement
Medical marijuana buyers must be 18 or older to apply for a medical marijuana card and purchase pot. Recreational buyers don’t need a state-issued card to purchase pot, but they must be at least 21 years old.
2. Higher individual purchase limits and plant potencies
While recreational buyers in Nevada are limited to purchasing an ounce of marijuana flower a day, medical cardholders can buy up to 2.5 ounces of “usable” marijuana within a 14-day period, even if that purchase is made all at once.
While edibles and concentrates for recreational marijuana use are limited to 100 milligrams of THC per container, medical buyers can purchase products with up to 1,000 milligrams THC per container.
3. Lower cost
By Nevada law, medical marijuana cardholders are exempt from a 10 percent excise tax charged to recreational buyers on their purchases. Products for medical patients — the exact same as products sold to recreational patients — are often subject to additional discounts from dispensaries looking to attend to cannabis patients.
Armen Yemenidjian, owner of Essence Cannabis Dispensary, said his pot store feels a social responsibility to make sure patients can afford their medicine. Ditto for Andrew Jolley of The+Source and David Goldwater of Inyo, who said they support the medical industry both as business owners and advocates of marijuana as medicine.
Keep in mind, medical marijuana cards cost $100 when applied for directly through the Nevada Division of Public and Behavioral Health, and a mandatory doctor’s referral for the application could cost an additional $100 to $200. Good for two years, the cards would only pay for themselves after $2,000 to $3,000 worth of marijuana purchases over two years.
4. Priority shopping
Most dispensaries in the Las Vegas Valley have separate lines and check-in areas for medical marijuana patients, which, especially during busy times, have significantly shorter waits than for recreational purchases.
5. More availability
While nearly all of Nevada’s 63 dispensaries offer recreational weed in addition to medical marijuana, two do not. For shoppers in Churchill County, the county’s only dispensary — Green Cross Farmacy in Fallon — sells pot only to medical customers. Likewise, Clark County’s recently opened Cultivate Dispensary near Chinatown on Spring Mountain Road is medical-only.
As many as 32 recreational-only licenses — the first of their kind in Nevada — are set to be issued by October, said Stephanie Klapstein, a spokeswoman for the Nevada Department of Taxation.

President Trump on Monday taunted Howard Schultz, who is considering a 2020 presidential bid, tweeting that the former Starbucks CEO “doesn’t have the ‘guts’ to run.”
Howard Schultz doesn’t have the “guts” to run for President! Watched him on @60Minutes last night and I agree with him that he is not the “smartest person.” Besides, America already has that! I only hope that Starbucks is still paying me their rent in Trump Tower!

Gage Wallace's day seemingly couldn't get any worse. After breaking up with his girlfriend, he finds himself framed for blowing up his apartment building -- the latest in a string of deadly bombings in this doomed suburb. After the neighboring Fat City fell into the river during an earthquake, these hapless exurbanites have been waiting for their own town to sink. The only glimmer of hope is a talking rat, whose drunken ramblings are taken as the prophecy of a better time ahead.
Now Gage finds himself being pursued by well-intentioned friends, bored cops, and the bloodthirsty Bald Suzie, a local firearms enthusiast whose brother was killed in a recent explosion.

We came across a little gem of a book recently, and a passage about pears jumped at us. It is titled Darwin and the Barnacle. Author Rebecca Stott conveys the story of a little creature that totally captured Darwin’s scientific mind and led him to the conclusions we are all familiar with today. It is truly a fascinating read and we highly recommend it.
What does this have to do with our weekly food fact? You ask. Well, there is much focus on genetically modified foods these days, but we often forget that foods have been modified for thousands of years. The difference is, they used natural means back then. This little blog is a place for lighthearted observation, not for debate. We just thought you might enjoy this most informative excerpt having to do with pears.
“Hadn’t Pliny complained about the taste of pears in Ancient Rome? What poor stock the early wild ancestors of these splendid trees then have been? But since Pliny’s disappointing bite, thousands of years of French, British and Flemish skill throughout the cultivated world had bred scores of varieties – thousands of years and long lines of pear-tree descent, each new cross-pollination enhancing shape, taste, colour, smell… And if Pliny were to walk this way, what would he say to the exquisite melting of sweet white nineteenth-century pear flesh? Honey, cinnamon, butter, sugar – tastes nurtured by breeders and orchardmen shaping nature in flowers and kitchen gardens like Darwin’s own, improving and modifying without end. What might cultivated pears taste like in three hundred years with yet greater improvements in agriculture and fertilization?”
Oh, what would both Darwin and Pliny think about our modern-day food production?
(Pliny the Elder. 23 AD – 79 AD. Author, natural philosopher and army commander of the early Roman Empire)

“Lord, Just One More Chance” is based off a true-life story of Playwright and Author Nellie Smith-King. It depicts the horrendous life of a young woman growing up in the south and having to leave home and migrate to New York City to escape her mother’s negligence and her mother’s boyfriend physical and psychological abuse.
Born on June 27, 1952 in Grifton, North Carolina, Nellie was raised by her grandparents; some of her summers were spent with her mother. As a young girl growing up, she participated in various activities such as basketball, softball, dancing and singing. Nellie became a member of a local church in her hometown and joined the youth choir. Unexpectedly and without warning, Nellie’s mother began contacting her grandparents demanding that she come to live with her. They were reluctant at first about this request, eventually Nellie was forced to live with her mother where she became defiant and experienced feelings of deep resentment towards her mother as she wanted to remain with her grandparents.
The safety Nellie once enjoyed no longer existed once she began living with her mother, she became the product of sexual, verbal, physical and psychological abuse at the hand of her mother’s boyfriend; this led to her abusing alcohol at the early age of thirteen. Nellie lived in constant fear for her life due to the on-going threats she received from her mother’s boyfriend at gunpoint. As she grew older, the pressures of living at home with her mother in a chaotic and dysfunctional setting became overwhelming. One day in spite of her fears, she shared with an aunt the constant abuse she had endured at the hand of her mother’s boyfriend. The aunt secretly informed Nellie’s grandfather of the plight of this young and innocent girl. Nellie was immediately removed from her mother’s home where she returned to live with her grandparents, but the abuse continued when she was forced by her mother to visit on a regular basis.
In the winter of 1968, Nellie migrated from Grifton, NC to Brooklyn, NY with the assistance of her grandparents, who sent her to live with an aunt and uncle. Nellie was forced to move from the aunt’s home because of her mother’s demands for her to return home and her uncle’s attempt to molest her. Nellie stayed with a cousin and eventually returned to North Carolina where she remained for a year and lived with an aunt. However, it didn’t take long for Nellie to realize that it was a mistake for her to return home, as the relationship with her mother had not changed. She then relocated again to New York where she stayed and enrolled in night school to continue her education.
At the age of seventeen, Nellie was able to secure full time employment. Her life appeared to have some kind of stability at this point even though she was still haunted by her past. In an attempt to escape it, Nellie began hanging out in bars and clubs after work and on weekends, where her drinking habits increased, she was also getting high and partying. One night she met a woman while hanging out, who introduced her to heroin which led to the use of a variety of drugs use. Nellie enjoyed getting high as it provided her with a false sense of security that seemed to consume her.
Nellie continued working at the phone company primarily to support her drug habit. She eventually lost her job after having been employed with this company for approximately two years. Nellie ended up homeless living on the streets of New York City, destitute and strung out on drugs. Prostitution became her means of survival and involvement in fraudulent activities that led to an arrest. Nellie contemplated suicide as her world began to crumble around her.
In 1972, Nellie decided to stay with a friend, she began sharing with her roommate her desire to experience peace and serenity in her life; she was informed of a service being held in a tent. Nellie attended the revival; as she saw this as a perfect opportunity to abandon her life of weariness and to receive salvation. Though, her attending the revival did not stop the drug addiction and the desires to return to the street. It took a divine intervention/encounter from God to demonstrate His love for her over and over. It was then Nellie received deliverance from a life of drugs, prostitution and crime in 1973. The following year was a pivotal turning point and most significant year in Nellie’s life; she became pregnant with her son, and totally surrendered her life to the Lord. Eight years later, she met her future husband, Herbert King and they were married in 1983, and from this union a daughter was born.
God totally transformed Nellie’s life and provided her with an opportunity to make amends with her mother prior to her death in 1997.
Nellie Smith-King is an anointed woman of God who was inspired by the Holy Spirit to write “Lord, Just One More Chance” in hopes of ministering to others who have experienced similar situations. She is committed to the work of the Lord, winning souls and encouraging others to establish a meaningful relationship with God. The riveting production of “Lord, Just One More Chance” was birthed with intent of revealing to others that nothing is impossible with God. It demonstrates God’s love, grace and mercy towards us and the forgiveness He continually shows us.

For the longest time my problem
was the city I looked over.
My feet on the bridge-walk
and the taste of wings at dawn.
I never fluttered. I didn’t fall.
In my dark suit, in winter, there is some [black] art
to how one hides it. Without a face—
I mean, without a flinch.
Then a gold beast came to rest behind me.
