These GCTC are effective from 1 September 2016 until revoked.
Off-line service: Within the framework of its "off-line" service, the Service Provider offers direct contact to its clients by phone or in writing through its dedicated advisors, account managers and other members of staff for the proposal, request and production, order confirmation, performance and invoicing procedures.
On-line service: Within the framework of its "on-line" service, the Service Provider operates an on-line platform, dedicated only to certain contracted clients, the terms and conditions of which are specified in the framework of individual contracts.
The terms and conditions described in these GCTC apply within the framework of the off-line services.
The Service Provider sends a proposal in writing in response to requests received from clients in writing or on the phone. The Service Provider tries to send a proposal to the Client containing several but no more than 3 solutions or 3 different prices.
In the proposal, the Service Provider states not only the price, but also the terms and conditions deemed important for the reservation. Those terms and conditions are effective together with the price.
The Client makes a decision within its own discretionary power ad orders the selected service according to the proposals.
The Service Provider sends written confirmation based on the order. The confirmation includes the price of the booked service and its terms and conditions deemed important.
The Service Provider supplies the service according to the order.
The Service Provider issues an invoice to the Client in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Framework Agreement or of these GCTC and sends it to the Client.
The Client settles the amount included in the invoice according to the terms and conditions specified therein.
The special terms and conditions of the individual service components are included in Section 3 of these GCTC.
The Service Provider can prepare a proposal only according to the important criteria relating to the particular service.
The Service Provider stresses to the Client that the proposal is not the same as the actual reservation and that the Service Provider shall not be bound by the proposal. The price included in the proposal, including especially the price of an air ticket, is valid at the time when the proposal is prepared but it may change depending on the free seats, the conversion exchange rate or the changes in any other factors influencing the price. Naturally, the Service Provider informs the Client of the prices and conditions prevailing at the time of the order.
Each order may only be placed in writing. Any legal declaration received from the e-mail address used or specified as own address by the Client also constitutes a written order.
The Service Provider contributes to the establishment of a transportation contract between the airline and the Client and to the sale of the tickets pursuant to bilateral or trilateral agreements concluded with airlines or according to proposals available through other channels. The Service Provider takes into account the travel regulations of the respective company, the contracted prices of the airline, the preferred airline and the interests of its contracted Clients providing that such information is available for the Service Provider when it prepares its proposal. The Service Provider sends no more than 3 proposals.
The term "traditional" airline refers to airlines that reflect primarily national characteristics, operating in general from one base airport in the country according to an annual timetable, offering also changes pursuant to international code-share agreements, running flights with more than one classes, representing traditional values in their services and regulations and being members of the IATA.
The Service Provider sends a proposal to the Client based on a written or verbal request (by phone) indicating the major characteristics of the different types of tickets and the conditions of their reservation.
The Client selects the most suitable proposal within the specified deadline.
The Service Provider then reserves the air ticket for the Client according to the selected proposal and sends written confirmation about it.
The Client orders the service within the effective deadline of the reserved air ticket.
The term "discount" airline refers to an airline offering point-to-point services with a lower degree of comfort and generally at lower prices but not necessarily with membership in the IATA.
The Service Provider sends more than one proposal upon the Client's written or verbal (by phone) request indicating the important characteristics of each ticket and the conditions of reservation.
The Client selects the suitable proposal and places an order accordingly. The Service Provider warns the Client that with discount airlines air tickets cannot be reserved, only purchased immediately.
The Service Provider purchases the air ticket for the Client under the terms and conditions prevailing at the particular moment. Such an air ticket entails an immediate payment obligation, of which the Service Provider sends written confirmation.
When requested by the Client verbally or in writing, the Service Provider undertakes to modify (name change, date change, etc.) an already issued air ticket or refund the price of an air ticket (to the extent permitted under the regulations of the particular airline) when it is allowed according to the regulations of the airline. The Service Provider warns the Client that in certain cases a modification, if permitted, entails a surcharge, especially in the case of discount airlines.
The Service Provider undertakes to mediate (modify, cancel) auxiliary services relating to an air ticket if the Client also ordered the air ticket with the mediation of the Service Provider. Such auxiliary services could include e.g., online check-in, seat reservation, on-board service, baggage ticket, etc.
The Service Provider undertakes to reserve (modify, cancel) a place in the Business lounge for the Client at international airports with the contents specified by the Client providing that the Client also ordered the air ticket with the mediation of the Service Provider.

The reservation can be made, cancelled or modified no more than 12 hours prior to departure.
The Service Provider undertakes to reserve fast track administration at Liszt Ferenc International Airport providing that the Client also ordered the air ticket with the mediation of the Service Provider. The reservation can be made or cancelled no more than 24 hours prior to departure.
Upon the Client's written or verbal order, the Service Provider undertakes to reserve and mediate accommodation services. The Service Provider requests hotel availability in compliance with the Client's bilateral agreements with hotels or hotel chains, the most favourable prices available through its own channels and all other requests of the Client known to the Service Provider, such as location, room preferences, meals, etc. as well as the company's travel regulations if they are known to it.
The Service Provider warns the Client that the same hotel rooms may be reserved at different prices, the cancellation or modification conditions of which are also significantly different. The Service Provider provides information about it in its proposal.
The Service Provider sends confirmation about the room reserved at the hotel selected by the Client, containing all important information (data of the hotel, arrival/departure dates, number of nights, room type, meals, payment method, price, cancellation and other important conditions).
The Service Provider recommends primarily two payment methods to the Client for hotel reservations: Deferred payment (in which case a voucher is issued) or payment on site.
When payment on site is applied, the Client settles the invoice in cash or with a bank/credit card at the hotel. The Service Provider warns the Client that in case payment on site is applied, the hotel may request a credit card guarantee at the time of the reservation, for which the Service Provider will use the card information provided by the Client, providing that the Client grants authorisation for it. The Service Provider may also provide a guarantee by using its own credit card only to its Clients with whom it has a Framework Agreement.
A voucher is a payment substituting instrument which entitles the eligible individual to use the service within the indicated validity period in exchange for the presentation of the voucher at the site of the service. The voucher is issued to the Client by the Service Provider. The Client must always verify the data indicated in the voucher received from the Service Provider when the voucher is collected and certifies the accuracy of the data with a signature. The Client does not pay for the services indicated in the voucher but shall pay for the services used additionally on site, i.e., at the hotel.
Based on the Client's written or verbal request, the Service Provider undertakes to modify (name change, date change, etc.) or cancel a reserved hotel room if it is permitted according to the terms and conditions of reservation at the particular hotel in relation to the particular price.
Upon the Client's written or verbal order, the Service Provider undertakes to reserve and mediate a hire car, also including the arrangements for the related insurance (mandatory third-party liability insurance is a prerequisite of car hire on each occasion). The Service Provider applies for a hire car by taking into account the Client's bilateral agreements with hire car companies, the available prices and any further requirements of the Clients known to it, such as category equipment, number of seats, place of collection, return as well as the corporate travel regulations, providing that the Service Provider is aware of them.
The Service Provider sends confirmation about the hire car selected by the Client or the available options in the same category, containing all important information, including the places of collection and return, the category, the price and the payment terms and conditions.
The Service Provider issues a voucher for a reserved hire car or the Client settles the invoice on site. The Service Provider warns the Client that whenever a car is hired, even if a voucher is issued, the contract is established between the Client (Lessee) and the Lessor.
When payment on site is applied, the Client settles the invoice at the site of the hire car company in cash or with a bank/credit card. The Service Provider warns the Client that in case payment on site is applied, the hire car company may request a credit card guarantee at the time of the reservation, for which the Service Provider will use the card information provided by the Client, providing that the Client grants authorisation for it. The Service Provider may also provide a guarantee by using its own credit card only to its Clients with whom it has a Framework Agreement.
The voucher is issued to the Client by the Service Provider either up to a specific value limit (value voucher) or covering all services used on the site even without prior reservation (except deposit) (full credit voucher). In the case of a value voucher, the Client pays on site for any service not indicated in the voucher (e.g., other insurance). In the case of a full credit voucher, the Service Provider pays for all further selected services. The Service Provider warns that Client that when a full credit voucher is issued, the service is actually used on site and the consideration charged for them cannot be subsequently investigated and they will be fully re-invoiced to the Client.
The Service Provider makes available payment with a full credit voucher only to Clients with whom it has a Framework Agreement.
Upon the Client's verbal or written request, the Service Provider undertakes to modify (name change, date change, category change etc.) or cancel an already reserved hire car if it is permitted according to the regulations of the hire car company.
Based on the Client's written or verbal request, the Service Provider undertakes to purchase domestic or international railway tickets and related seat reservations.
The Service Provider warns the Client that not all railway tickets are available in electronic format and therefore the cost of delivery is an additional cost of any purchased railway ticket issued on paper.
The Service Provider undertakes to modify, cancel and refund domestic and international railway tickets when it is permitted according to the regulations of the railway company.
Based on the Client's written or verbal request, the Service Provider undertakes to purchase domestic or international tickets and, when available, related seat reservations.
The Service Provider warns the Client that not all tickets are available in electronic format and therefore the cost of delivery is an additional cost of any purchased ticket issued on paper.
Based on the Client's verbal or written request, the Service Provider undertakes to modify, cancel and refund domestic and international other tickets when it is permitted according to the regulations of the particular transportation company.

The Service Provider basically offers two types of insurance: Luggage and health insurance as well as cancellation insurance. The Service Provider offers travel insurance in accordance with the required terms and conditions at competitive prices and will arrange for the insurance agreements for the Client according to the Client's choice.
The Service Provider sends the prepared travel documents to the Principal electronically. If it is not possible, the documents can also be sent by post or, with a special request (and for special remuneration) with a courier service.

The account manager is responsible for maintaining contact with the Client, preparing and forwarding turnover statements for the Client's travels and providing assistance in the development of the company's travel regulations.
In the case of Clients with whom the Service Provider has a Contract the Service Provider undertakes to register all important information obtained in relation to the company (CP-Company Profile) and travellers establishing a contact with the Service Provider in the course of the performance of the contract (TP-Traveller Profile), to monitor the changes, to update and expand the data as necessary and to make all reservations by focusing on the known preferences during the mediation of its services. The contracted Clients supply the data and modifications required for completing the profiles to the Service Provider in writing and the accuracy and revision of the data are the responsibility of the Client.
If a contracted Client has travel regulations, the Service Provider shall register its provisions and proceed during the reservations accordingly.
If the traveller of a contracted Client requests for a service that is contrary to the travel regulations of their own company or only options contrary to the travel regulations can be reserved, the Weco-Travel employee will inform the contracted partner about it ("Out of Policy" situation) and will reserve the requested services only with the approval of the authorised person.

The Client may submit any complaint relating to the invoice within 2 working days from its receipt, only in writing. Failing that deadline shall render any complaint ineffective. The deadline is still considered effective if the Service Provider receives the complaint by 6 p.m. on the second working day from the receipt of the invoice by the Client. The Client may send a complaint to the Service Provider's e-mail address also by electronic mail. The Service Provider shall have the right to investigate the complaint and notify the Principal about its outcome within 5 working days. If a complaint is justified, the original payment deadline shall be calculated from the date of receipt of the new invoice. In the case of any invoice complaint, the Client may withhold the objected item only until it is clarified, while any other item indicated in the invoice correctly is subject to the original payment deadline.
In the case of any payment delay, the Service Provider may charge default interest at the rate specified in the Civil Code from the first day of the default.

You know what I hate about such ideas - it all sounds very nice, supporting and developing local talent and such... but really it means that riders from countries where such structures don't exist have just even less chances. I'm thinking about many medium good guys on especially Italian, Spanish and also Belgian teams - they have a big advantage just because of where they are from.
I mean, I know whether you make it or not will always depend a lot on luck and connections and structures, but things like this just make it worse.
I am also thinking about someone like Mihkel Räim, when he talked about how Israel didn't need his services anymore. Okay, so he didn't have great results to show. But would he have been from Israel he would probably have gotten another contract there.
In the article here: https://www.tv2.no/sport/14054558/ Jens Haugland says:
"– Vi skal ta vare på å utvikle stammen vi har, men vi skal også forsterke laget ytterligere. Vi har referert til Ajax-modellen tidligere, og vi skal bevare filosofien på øverste scene. Med herrelaget ønsker vi per nå å beholde tanken om et lag kun bestående av norske og danske ryttere, sier Uno-X-sjefen. "
...but of course that can change anytime in the future,
I stand corrected then. Still we have to wait and see how it undfolds, but currently I don't think it will be too hard to find enough NO/DK riders, even if Vegard Kulset, the CEO of Uno-X, doesn't have more children to sign up
As search mentioned above, it will be pretty hard for them to secure a WT license in 2023, cause they would have to get much better results in WT races next year, and because they aren't Belgian, French, Italian or Spanish they won't be invited to all of them. Kristoff and Fuglsang should get them more invites, but they might no be strong enough to get them the results they would need.
A WT team planning to limit itself only to 2 countries of 11 million total population doesn't sit particularly well with me. Euskaltel once managed even more extreme Basques only policy so I guess it's possible to do but then they had no business in many WT races like northern classics etc. so it wasn't really great from a sporting perspective. I don't mind nation-focused teams but if they aren't opening themselves to a possibility of signing even a few riders outside their rather small focus region, they're going to be at a serious disadvantage compared to other WT teams. I would rather have teams not shooting themselves in the foot like that nowadays, when the level in professional sport is increasing, the gaps between competitors shrinking and it's increasingly difficult to stay at the top of your game. They're pretty unlikely to win the battle for every single top Danish and Norwegian rider over other teams.
Agree very much, I would hate a team with such a policy.
There are 2 in the team already and 1 in the developement team. But there is even one more that is 17 this year and is reported to be better than his brothers
Reactions: Sandisfan and Samu Cuenca
I hope they stay away from Fuglsang (mainly because of his Ferrari connections), but I think Kristoff and some other decent riders like Bystrøm and hopefully some decent danish rider would give some invitations. But as you say, securing WT license already in 2023 will be very hard (unless 3-4 teams collapse), maybe 2024 or 2025 is more likely. My impression is that both UnoX, the staff and the team feel that they have enough time, it's a long term commitment. If it doesnt happen before 2026 or 2028 I don't think that's a big problem for them.
I think it matters what specific countries it is.
Obviously it wouldn't work if the strategy was "Sweden & Finland" but "Norway & Denmark" works, because there are a lot of riders to pick from.
There are a total of 33 Norwegian/Danish riders on the WT currently, with a further 28 riding at Pro level (most of which are young up and coming riders), and both countries have very healthy junior programmes, while Denmark also has a rich track culture to draw upon..
That's a pretty healthy group to base a WT team off.
You should note, that when a rider changes teams, he takes his points with him.
If Fuglsang and Kristoff (for instance), were to sign with UnoX for next year, those two riders alone, could pretty much triple the teams points (provided Kristoff picks it up a bit the rest of the year), and rank them around 13-15th in the world.
That's unfortunate, but it's always been that way. Still more countries have riders on the top teams nowadays compared to the 80's or 90's. Telekom started out with Germans, Belgians and Frenchmens, but had many other nationalities later on (of course they weren't a German team at the end).
Sounds like the next Andy Schleck
Another thing to consider is that unlike most Basque riders, Norwegians and Danes have proved that they can be competitive on pretty much any terrain.
In the discussion about which country the riders are coming from, it's worth to think about the fact that the sponsor UnoX (and the Reitan group that owns it) have as it is now 0 interest outside Norway/Denmark as they only petrol stations and super markets in these two countries.
If another big sponsor comes in (which is likely needed to get a budget of around 15 million euros a year) that can change, based on which countries this sponsor have interest in.
That is true, but you can still get good PR through "foreign" riders.... I think Quickstep is pretty happy with Asgreen promoting their floors to the Belgian public
So I don't think the "Norway/Denmark" choice is a commercial one, I rather think it is "cycling strategic" one - they want to be THE team Norwegian and Danish talent gravitate towards.... as someone said, "The Ajax Amsterdam of cycling".
Given the nature of Norway, at some point they are BOUND to foster some great climbers.
It never made sense that Norway made sprinters and Denmark made climbers
Possibly because there was no cycling culture in the areas with mountains (people from these parts turned into cross country skiers), and most of the races were held in the flatter areas. So young rider which could possibly be good climbers never got the chance to shine.
If Fuglsang and Kristoff (for instance), were to sign with UnoX for next year, those two riders alone, could pretty much triple the teams points (provided Kristoff picks it up a bit the rest of the year).
Sure, but Kristoff might not score many points during the rest of the season. He doesn't seem too confident that he'll be going to the Tour for instance.
No, you would defintely think they would be able to make some of their XC skiers and biathletes into great climbers.
But it might happen soon.
They do seem to be in it for the long haul, so I don't thinkt they will be too bothered about it if it doesn't happen in 2023 either. I also think it won't be bad for them to get more experience from WT races before they step up. Now that Riwal's and Riis's project of trying to get a Danish team to be on the start line for the Grand Départ in Copenhagen have failed, I hope Uno-X will make it instead. They have definitely showed that they aren't racing conservatively and they have made a mark on many races during this year and in 2020, so hopefully the organisers will appreciate them as much as we do.
I admit, I love the team's racing style and they have some nice results during the past year!
I just don't want them to only have Danes and Norwegians.

As I said- it's possible to make a team out of only Norwegian and Danish riders that won't be horribly uncompetitive but it won't be as competitive as a team that hunts for talent all across the world- which is what all other teams are doing, including competition for Norwegian and Danish riders with Uno-X.
A team that only tried to recruit from Sweden and Finland would obviously not get a WT licence due to not meeting the "sporting criteria" so I find that comparison pretty absurd.
If you sign 30 best riders you can from Denmark and Norway and then exchange the bottom 5 for the best riders outside of Denmark and Norway you were able to sign, you would presumalby be looking at quite a lot of quality gain, wouldn't you? And you voluntarily give that quality gain up. That's the problem I have here. Not sure if that kind of self-sabotaging your own competitiveness should have a place in a modern WT team that has automatic invitations for all major races.
Wouldn't be surprised if they sign Kirsipuu as a sports director and add some Estonian talents eventually.
Häninnen has a long term contract with AG2R.
They actually have minor business interests in Finland & Estonia with r-kioski!

Here's something you may want to consider.
I posted, noticed my typing error, and my immediate thought was:
"I better correct that fast, or the redhead is certain to leave a comment on it"
Turns out I was too slow, despite only taking 20 seconds
I am fast!
So are we talking about fast Women and maybe fast cars? I like fast cars and am intrigued by fast women.
Ok just a play on words.
But I think only Danish and Norwegian may not be the best way forward after all Bora is a German team but not just German. If there was a rider out there available who could bring in a sponsor and results to lift the Idea of WT, kinda like a rider like Sagan, Wink Wink, not that he would go there but it was a funny thought, considering how he made Bora almost by himself a WT team well not by himself but you know.
I like how they ride and if they could keep it up at WT level i would love to have a team like that at WT level just for the entertainment. Not that saying and telling riders to ride like that will be guaranteed to work at WT level where almost all the riders are WT level. You can do it at smaller races more easily that at the bigger races. Some strong teams can shut that down some of the time maybe even often. But would welcome the Idea and I like the team as it is now, if they could do that a WT I would like them even more.
You need around 30 riders for a WT team and that is only 3% of the top 1000, so 1,9% can go to other teams
I'm pretty sure the only Norwegian/Danish riders strategy will change without any problem if/when they realize it's needed to secure the necessary quality, so we probably shouldn't read too much into it at this stage.
I guess the benefit of having only Norwegian/Danish riders are mainly language and cultural. As a new team on the way up in the system I think it's beneficial to have a group of riders that are pretty equal to avoid "teams within the team".
Sandisfan said:

FDJ is a French team, but doesn't just have French riders.
Movistar is a Spanish team, but doesn't just have Spanish riders.
Ineos is a British team, but doesn't just have British riders.
And so on...
UnoX is a Norwegian team, but doesn't just have Norwegian riders...
TBF, their talk right from the beginning has been "Only Norwegian and Danish riders." Besides, they have stated that while they're registered in Norway, they consider themselves a Norwegian/Danish team, it's just that a team can't be registered in two countries.
Kristoff and Bystrøm would be good. Those two would be the big potenital names for next year. Along with guys like Honore and the oldest Kragh Andersen. Hope they stay away from EBH. Next year there aren't that many good potential signings beyond those. But for 2023 it's something else. Pedersen, Kragh Andersen, Vingegaard, Kron and more. If they really aim for it and succeed, they could have very good classics team for the 2023 season.
I hope they don't go and claim all - or even the majority of - the Danes. The current situation; having the Danes spread all over the place, is working just fine.
The way it sounds they will continue to go for young talents mostly who don't cost that much, and some older riders who get a second chance / chance to revive their career, both reasons for guys to be cheaper. So I don't think they will go for many high class Danish riders.

Literary Journals
"Someday I hope to write a book where the royalties will pay for the copies I give away."
- Clarence Darrow
Spare a thought for literary journals, and the independent bookstores and magazine shops that carry them.
Literary journals are the training ground for serious writers who are trying to establish themselves. Most Canadian writers you've ever heard of got their start in literary journals and reviews – Alice Munro, Margaret Atwood, MG Vassanji, Jan Zwicky, Joseph Boyden, to say nothing of countless lesser-known authors whose work is well worth reading.
Grain, The Antigonish Review, Descant, and The Malahat Review are some of the better-known Canadian journals which are actually able to pay their contributors, and exist largely thanks to grant funding. Smaller journals, such as Existere, Glossolalia, and All Rights Reserved manage on shoe-string budgets, countless volunteer hours, and the promise of contributers' copies. No-one's getting rich on literary journals: not the people who publish them nor those who write for them.
Who reads literary journals? Mostly writers do, and the friends and families of the lucky few whose stories are published, for whom writers gladly spend far more on copies than they'll ever hope to earn.
Why bother with literary journals? By purchasing and reading them, people are exposing themselves to fresh, new voices, and supporting our own culture. Writers face constant rejection by submitting again and again, in hopes that their stories will be read and so they can add to their publication list. My record was twenty-six rejections over a six-week period in 2005. It took the wind out of my sails, but I persevered, keeping in mind that it's wise to build a publishing history so that when the time comes to submit a manuscript to a publishing house, credibility is already established. My perseverance paid off, and in the spring of 2006 my first short story was published. Since then, three more have been published, and a dozen more have been rejected.
And rejected.
Until now… to my great delight, the latest issue of All Rights Reserved (2008 Vol. 2) has just been released, and one of my short stories is in it. I tell you this not to brag, but to inform (and it fits rather neatly in the middle of today's blog, doesn't it?). Cherry Pits is nestled in among an interesting assortment of short stories, poems, and some lovely art reproductions.
Why would anyone publish such a journal? The editors do so because they love it. They love good writing, and they love to support new authors and get their stories out in the world. Journal editors support an important part of our cultural life by giving unknown writers a leg-up in an industry that is nearly impossible to break into. They are to be commended for laying the foundation for tomorrow's great writers.
The booksellers and magazine stores who carry the journals are also to be commended for supporting our writers. About 40% of journal copies sent to bookstores are sold; the rest are trashed. The print run might be around 1,300 copies in total. And no, you won't find them in any of the big-box bookstores.
So, next time you're in your favourite bookstore, do spare a thought to the literary journals. They're there if you look for them, sometimes tucked away on a low shelf. For the cost of a movie rental, you can take one home and enjoy reading some great short stories and poems.

Every spring, Upper Newport Bay becomes a destination for weary travelers from the Arctic. These tourists take in the weather, socialize, dine and bask in the comfort and protection of the Bay. Welcome our feathered friends – birds.
After enduring a trip of over 3,000 miles on the Pacific Flyaway, the highway in the sky, some birds rest here and others continue to other destinations farther south. With wetland environments disappearing rapidly, the Bay is important oasis – over 200 species! Exhausting nearly 50% of their body weight during migration, the lush resources of the Bay helps them to re-energize.
February is the time to grab binoculars and get to know some of these visitors. Identify low tide locals and check out marbled godwits and longbilled curlews, probing into the mud or the osprey hunting for fish. Migratory birds to look for include the dowitcher, western sandpiper and the bufflehead as well as many other wetland ducks.
There are plenty of opportunities for all ages this month to view the nearly 30,000 expected birds from land and from the water. Don't wait too long as many birds will continue on or return to the great north starting in March.

Over the All Star break Baseball America released its update of the top 100 prospects. I have provided some analysis on some of the names that received my attention.
101. Padres SS Fernando Tatis Jr - A prospect that was on my radar but the swing and miss bothered me. The power is real but while baseball has embraced the strikeout I have not. I still rate him as a BUY with the hope that he cuts down on the strikeouts.
97. Angles OF Jordon Adell - Hopefully Adell will be in 2017 Draft in December. Scouts worry about his swing and miss issues.
96. Red Sox 3B Michael Chavis - Nice prospect putting up solid numbers in AA so far. I would rate him as a STRONG BUY.
93. Indians 1B Bobby Bradley - 16HR's so far in AA with a respectable K%. He is coming along well and I would buy an auto or two.
92. Phillies SS J.P. Crawford - Crawford has struggled a little in AAA. If you have any auto's HOLD.
91. Rockies 1B/3B Ryan McMahon - I recommended Ryan in the past but unless he is a superstar Rockies players don't sell well.
90. Blue Jays SS Lourdes Gurriel -Watching him closely as he returns from injury.
83. White Sox RHP Dylan Cease - Nice prospect joining a stacked White Sox farm system. I expect prices to remain at the same level.
71. Braves SS Kevin Maitan - Has not played yet but cards are already on the high end.
69. Phillies 1B Ryan Hoskins - Needs a Chrome auto.
57. Cardinals RHP Jack Flaherty - Loved him since he was drafted and his stuff keeps getting better. I rate him as a BUY.
52. Phillies 2B Scott Kingery - Legit prospect who has made great adjustments. His Bowman Auto is on the high end.
51. Cardinals C Carson Kelly - A great catching prospect who plays great defense and will hit for a good average with pop.
50. Mets 1B Dominic Smith - Underrated prospect in my opinion. Auto's are still at a decent price considering the market. Very impressive season so far.
46. Phillies OF Mickey Moniak - Love the talent but can he hit for power?
44. Blue Jays SS Bo Bichette - One of the hottest prospects in the minors. Buy if you can afford it. All you need is one.
41. Braves RHP Kyle Wright - Looking forward to his debut.
40. Rays LHP/1B Brendan McKay - Brendan seems like a generational talent. I really hope he succeeds playing both ways.
39. Twins SS Royce Lewis - On fire in rookie ball but don't take those stats too seriously.
34. Rangers OF Leody Taveras - STRONG BUY - Leody is the current top prospect in the Rangers system. At 18 years old he is producing some good numbers. Don't let the batting average worry you. The K rate is 15% and walk rate is around 8% in A ball. Auto's are under $25.
30. Reds RHP Hunter Greene - Another generational talent that hopefully will play both ways. I love that he is playing for the Reds.
22. Pirates OF Austin Meadows - Still battling injuries and the pop has not been there. I'm worried a little but I would HOLD and not sell.
23. Braves LHP Kolby Allard - Impressive numbers after coming back from injury. I am now a believer.
If you would like my thoughts on any prospect not mentioned on the list or one that did not make the list, leave a comment or reach out to me on Twitter @Prospects4Cash. Thanks!
Hi, What are your thoughts on buying Alex Jackson autos? He was considered a huge prospect once he was drafted to the Mariners and his autos were insanely expensive back then . It seems he has turned things around with the Braves and he is still only 21. Autos are only 15-20 dollars now.
I think a $15-20 dollar investment for an Alex Jackson auto is as low as it gets. Scouts have given up on him but he has improved. I would not buy a boatload but a small investment is fine.
What is your opinion on the Yankees Miguel Andujar 2013 bowman chrome auto card longterm? When would you sell if you own him? Any upside to holding him to see if he's a star in NY?
A base Miguel Andujar auto is going for around $40 now. When it comes to Yankees prospects there is always upside to hold if the player plays well. However, Yankess prospects are always overvalued. Is it possible that he could be a star? Maybe. I see him as an above average everyday regular and he makes contact. That is why I recommended Dustin Fowler. Scouts like him more than Frazier and his autos were not inflated when Bowman Chrome was released. I would sell to a least get back your initial investment and hold to see how he does. He has a future with the team.
Thanks for the reply. I have over 150 of his BC autos. Red, blue, purple, gold, orange. Most of the base autos I purchased for $25 bucks or less between 2013 & 2016. I'm thinking if he continues to do well in AAA the rest of the year, he's going to be in a lot of conversations for 2018 with that being Headley's last year. Offseason leading up to spring training may be good time to sell some to get investment back. Hopefully he gets a call up in September & goes full Jim Leyritz pushing his way on to October roster.
I appreciate you commenting on the page. With all the injuries the team has suffered I expect him to be called up after the trade deadline. Not sure if he will play everyday but in my opinion he is in their long term plans. If you sell now you are making some good profit but I understand holding longer. When success occurs in the majors prices go sky high. Especially for a Yankee.
I like Dustin Fowler except I am worried how he will respond from injury. Should I be? or is this a possible buy low opportunity.
I would be worried a little. The recovery time may be a while. It was a unfortunate injury. I expect prices to drop especially in December. It is a buy low opportunity. If it was Tommy John surgery his prices would probably remain in a hold pattern.
Yes he is for sure a bargain bin prospect. He is a speedster though and will not hit many home runs but for the cost of under $5, I would buy.
Was it worth me buying 16 chrome base autos for $70? Also, which players are too overpriced and overrated that I should stay away from? Lmk. I love the site and Im a big fan.
Yes it the best investment you could have made for a speedster. I only buy speedsters when they are a bargain bin candidate. Look at Billy Hamilton. Where are his prices now? Far as overrated prospects. Most Yankee prospect prices will be inflated due to the market. I think the guys that are high end are where they should be. Moniak is a little high. Good prospect but can he hit for power.
Thanks for commenting on the page. I really appreciate it. I am always here for questions.
sell nick williams or hold? He's hot, but will he be a superstar?
I personally would sell. I don't see him as a superstar but an average everyday player. I would collect my profits.
Interesting and good question. I would always look at K rate and Walk rate. If that is good look at the amount of extra base hits they have. A few markets I avoid are Seattle(Poorly run and far west),Milwaukee(Small fan base), and Colorado (Altitude). There are more but stay tuned.
What are you thoughts on Justin Williams? Bought a bunch of base cards under a $1 and various chrome auto versions for about an average of $15. Added a couple PSA 10's as well.
I am fan and have talked about him before on the site. Seems like he has made some good adjustments and he still really young.

Council passes budget second reading
The Hill City Common Council passed the second reading of the 2021 budget at Monday's council meeting.

Miner's main concern was with dedicating a total of $993,300 for the Business Improvement District board (BID board) project, which includes a loan from the general fund of $750,000 to make up for a loss in money that funds the BID project.

Making an Impact: Developing and Building Solutions for Our Engineers in News
Making an Impact: Developing and Building Solutions for Our Engineers
Davide De Angelis
Davide De Angelis, Senior Engineer
I first joined MongoDB as a Technical Services Engineer for Applications and Integrations. It was one of the most challenging work experiences that I have ever had and it was way outside of my comfort zone. The variety of technologies and IT knowledge involved is super impressive and I had a lot to learn, which excited me. Our management and team members were very supportive and helped me grow in the role.
After one year as a Technical Services Engineer, I knew that I wanted to get back on track to my fundamental career path: Software Engineering, Design, and Architecture. I had the opportunity to join the Technical Services Tools Team and am now continuing my MongoDB journey as a Senior Software Development Engineer. The role is very innovative and I'm happy because it allows me to develop my career in the direction I want while doing a job that I love within an extraordinary and talented team.
Developing tools that help our Technical Services Engineers
Our team's mission is to allow the Technical Services Engineers to scale properly as our number of customers to grow, while still providing the same top-notch services. We also help offload repetitive or manual tasks and let engineers focus on providing solutions for our customers. In addition to internal customers, we provide MongoDB customers access to support resources and a growing set of diagnostic tools.
We achieve our goals by automating processes on top of a huge amount of collected data or creating user interfaces to enable the Technical Services Team to consume all the necessary information they need for their daily job. We help them to transform a proof of concept in a production-ready application, by promoting standards, solutions reusability, and framework where necessary. Once the tool is an asset, we can start improving it and providing new feature requests at a faster pace. All of the engineers on my team are encouraged to provide fixes and improvements to their tools.
Using MongoDB to build our internal solutions
How do we do it? We obviously use MongoDB! All of our databases are cloud-hosted on MongoDB Atlas, which provides best-in-class automation and proven practices guarantee availability, scalability, and compliance with the most demanding data security and privacy standards. We also use our serverless solution, MongoDB Stitch, where we deploy our frontend applications. Our team's backend services are hosted on an internal containers deployment platform.
We develop our own solutions, tailored to our requirements based on business needs. We adopt and prefer open-source products with a high grade of maturity whenever possible. We are exposed to a variety of programming languages and technologies like Python, Javascript, TypeScript, Apex, HTML, Kubernetes, RabbitMQ, React, Google and AWS Services. To be successful on our team, you need to have a strong understanding of software engineering, design, architectures, databases, networks, security and UX.
Pursuing a project that makes a real impact
Recently we focused on a project aimed to automate and make the Traffic Cop (TC) role easier within the Technical Services Team. Based on a shift, every Technical Services Engineer has to be a TC for a few hours every week. The TC analyzes the incoming workload and ensures an equal distribution of tasks following certain criteria. They work to reduce the latency between the creation of a customer support ticket and the assignment to an engineer. They also step up when critical problems arise and proactively assign them to the correct engineers. This role can be difficult and it requires a lot of focus, contextualizing problems, and interacting with customers and engineers with different overlapping time zones.
So what did we do? We developed a set of services for analyzing our data, like customer tickets content, and assigned labeling for determining the problem type and matching with engineers based on their skill set and availability. Then, we transformed all of this data into an input for an algorithm to generate a best match solution based on a general mixed-integer programming solver. We developed the solution in Python taking advantage of Google OR-Tools suite and queueing systems like Celery and RabbitMQ. Now we are able to automatically provide suggestions about who is the best engineer for incoming customer issues. We are continually improving the project based on feedback and newly collected data.
Why I love what I do
Information Technology is one of the fastest-changing industries and as a result, it demands continuous self-evolution. As you gain experience in the field, you also need to embrace new technologies and adapt to changes. I always strive to be in an environment that supports and encourages self-improvement and promotes collaboration with people who have different points of view than my own. I found everything that I was looking for in my career at MongoDB and I couldn't be happier!

Wes Mannion (born September 1970) is an Australian television personality, best known from the series The Crocodile Hunter as Steve Irwin's best friend and the former director of Australia Zoo.

Early life
Mannion's interest in reptiles began in the jungles surrounding his family's home in Malaysia, where his father was stationed as a member of the Royal Australian Air Force.

In 1976, Mannion and his family returned to Australia and eventually, in 1985, settled on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland. His passion for reptiles continued throughout his childhood years and at age 14, Mannion made his first visit to the Queensland Reptile and Fauna Park, now known as Australia Zoo.

Mannion and Steve Irwin met in the mid-1980s when Mannion and his parents visited Australia Zoo. He soon became close to the Irwin family and was looked upon as a younger brother. Mannion volunteered at the zoo for a number of months and was later offered a paid keeping position. He and Irwin worked alongside each other at the zoo learning about reptile and animal husbandry and eventually moved on to capturing and relocating wild crocodiles.

Career

Mannion started full-time at the Australia Zoo in 1988, working alongside Steve and gaining intimate knowledge of the care and management of wildlife. By 1992, he was promoted to head reptile keeper and curator. Realising the need to gain overseas experience, he temporarily left the zoo to gain knowledge from other zoological and veterinary facilities overseas. Upon returning to the zoo in 1995, Mannion took up the position of manager and in 2001 was promoted to director; Mannions' ex-wife Jodie Chapman is the records officer of the zoo.

During Irwin's growing success with The Crocodile Hunter show, Mannion would often star in the show as Steve's right hand and co-host, in the event that Irwin's wife Terri was unable to be there. When not co-hosting, he was usually behind the scenes keeping the camera crew safe from animals and ensuring their safety.

Incidents

In 2001, Mannion was involved in a serious incident in which a captive Australian saltwater crocodile named Graham bit him on the thigh. Irwin, acting on instinct and training, subdued the crocodile with a wooden "safety stick" (a safety device located in all crocodile enclosures), allowing Mannion to escape.

How do I do not want to work to survive? I want to work to just be able to pay my bills. I WANNA joy live and it. Kinda brought this new mentality whereas right now is because I had income for six weeks now. This week seven summit. Okay it's time to start figuring something now. This is the plan to come out in work three four days and have days to enjoy life. Now we're five six days and have that one day to recoup to able to go over. Okay so this is the kind of like a not in any shape any way shape or form has been good but in my personal experience like okay. This is kicking ass. I needed because I could have been doing the same thing. So I hit Forty Min- shit. I missed out on my thirties whereas right now thirty one I could say okay. You know what it might take a little hard work. Initially but changed the goalpost. You know this isn't the goal. I don't want to have fucking x and X and a new car AETNA. No one to not a frugal life but just the life where I can pay the bills. Have some savings have some spending money but be able to do the things that I enjoy doing? Being able to take a day off and just fucking read. Go running and then do a three hour. That's kind of what the new fiery kind of burning inside. I gotTA figure something out to accommodate these leads and these wants as opposed to before a if the norm that you yourself and I want this weird 'cause I've again going back to how this has impacted me. It's I've been living paycheck to paycheck mind tire life and Mike I mean I put it on myself a little bit because I live in San Francisco in expensive last studio but I love it. I love a studio over lived So yes I can probably not live here and have a little more expanded Linfen but I was set up for promotion set for a pay raise literally like April first. That was gonna to be like everything was in be better for me like I was finally able to say like damn making some like livable. Money to in some in some ways like decent money so that that all got taken away put off table because what happened in the NFL going from. Hey you're you're not gonNA get a periods the motion. Reuniting the Perez like whatever Resume than went from that to. Hey actually you know. We have to let people go. You're going to be put on temporarily understand the business side of understand that decision because the company to continue to be a company like you have to think about long term so like I was. I took it very selfishly. I'd say in the beginning announced like Manna sucks. Like what the hell like. I've I worked my ass off. I've done this this and that but looking back yet you can. You can always like that. Was Me reacting the moment in Lagos justified?
