The Trump administration just cancelled an historic baseball deal. Here's what you need to know.
April 13, 2019 Bat Flips Admin Baseball, Opinion
With incisive analysis on an important issue, please welcome Rachel Steinberg for her BFN debut…
What was cancelled?
A deal between Major League Baseball (MLB) and the Cuban Baseball Federation (CBF) that would have allowed Cuban baseball players to sign with professional teams in the United States and Canada without having to defect from Cuba. Many lauded the agreement, which took years of negotiation and was signed in December of 2018, as an important step in preventing human trafficking and other forms of exploitation faced by Cuban baseball players hoping to play for MLB and its affiliate leagues.
The agreement would have been similar to agreements MLB has with other international leagues, whereby MLB would pay a posting fee to the CBF on top of any salary or signing bonus paid to a player.
Wait, baseball has a human trafficking problem?
Right now, there is no direct, legal path for Cuban baseball players to join MLB (or its minor league) teams. The most common route to a MLB contract is through a third country like Mexico, Haiti or the Dominican Republic.
Defecting players pay smugglers to take them by boat to the third country. They then establish residency, which, at least before the latest deal was signed, was something MLB required before the players were allowed to enter the free agent market.
The boat journeys themselves are perilous, and players often leave behind wives, children and other family members without any guarantee that they will succeed in securing a contract. They leave Cuba not knowing when—or if—they will see their loved ones again. The new deal would have allowed players to travel with their families and return to Cuba during the offseason.
That's just the beginning. Reports on what happens next include everything from alleged kidnapping to extortion by increasingly sophisticated 'black market' networks of smugglers and 'agents'.
A New York Times article highlights the story of Cleveland Indians center fielder Leonys Martin, who, "in legal filings…claimed that he was held hostage by armed smugglers in Mexico and that his family was held captive in Miami while [sports agent Bart Hernandez] and his agency, Praver Shapiro Sports Management, negotiated a contract so Martin could pay a ransom for their release. (In a statement, a lawyer for Hernandez said he was innocent of the charges.)". Hernandez was later sentenced to prison.
Reds right fielder Yasiel Puig's journey was similarly harrowing, and White Sox first baseman José Abreu said that he is "still harassed" more than five years after his defection. He also said of the deal: "knowing that the next generation of Cuban baseball players will not endure the unimaginable fate of past Cuban players is the realization of an impossible dream for all of us".
Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman was reportedly kept off of the 2008 Cuban Olympic team as punishment for a failed defection attempt.
And those are just the famous ones…
Exactly. While a major league contract can be life-changing for a player, many guys don't end up making it and instead end up in limbo, their prospects growing slimmer with each passing year. Many struggle to make ends meet. They've just given massive sums of money to smugglers and find themselves caught in a catch-22: they need to work, but that means they can't practice baseball. They can't afford to practice baseball because they need to make enough to live on. Language and educational barriers can also come into play.
Does the league acknowledge there is a problem?
Absolutely, hence the deal. MLB has been reporting these stories for years. In a December 2018 statement, Commissioner Rob Manfred said: "For years, Major League Baseball has been seeking to end the trafficking of baseball players from Cuba by criminal organizations by creating a safe and legal alternative for those players to sign with Major League clubs."
When was the deal cancelled?
On Friday, the US Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control sent a letter to Major League Baseball stating that "payments to the Cuban Baseball Federation are not authorised because a payment to the Cuban Baseball Federation is a payment to the Cuban government".
The Obama administration previously ruled that the CBF was independent from the Cuban government and allowed the leagues to negotiate on that basis. It's been reported that MLB has a government memorandum from 2017 promising that the agreement would be grandfathered in under any new regulations.
Friday's ruling came just days after the CBF released a list of 34 players eligible to sign with MLB teams under the new deal.
Without going into a complex lecture on the history of Cuba-US relations, President Trump and President Obama have notoriously held very different stances on Cuba. In 2017, Trump reinstated travel and commercial restrictions previously eased by the Obama administration.
On Sunday, United States National Security Advisor John Bolton tweeted: "Cuba wants to use baseball players as economic pawns – selling their rights to Major League Baseball. America's national pastime should not enable the Cuban regime's support for Maduro in Venezuela".
A day later, during an interview with Fox News, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was asked if the cancelled agreement was "more effort to pinch Cuba" to which he replied "yep". He later said the administration was "going to do everything we can to pull [Cuba] out of Venezuela".
MLB's Vice President of Communications, Michael Teevan, said the league "[stands] by the goal of the agreement, which is to end the human trafficking of baseball players from Cuba".
An MLB source said the league is "unsure of the next steps". The BBC reported on Tuesday that MLB requested a meeting with the US government but has not received a response. The New York Times previously reported that MLB's request was denied.
For at least 34 eligible players, the wait—and subsequent decision—could have a devastating impact on a dream that is once again teetering on the brink of impossibility.
If you're interested in watching a great, short documentary on the journey of Cuban players to the US and Canada, I highly recommend this piece by Vice Sports. It's a few years old, but still very much worth a watch.

Q: Running an AJAX code on the submit of a form Here's my form:
<form action="/scripts/addemail_fb.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="email" value="Enter your email here!" />
<input id="submit" type="submit" name="submit" value="Go!" />
</form>

And my jQuery:
    $(document).ready(function() {

        $('form').submit(function() {
            email = $('input[name=email]').val();
            $.post("/scripts/addemail.php", {email_address:email}, function(data){

               if(data == "invalid") {
                alert("invalid");

               } else if(data == "used") {
                alert("used");

               } else if(data == "success") {
               alert("success");

               } else {
                alert("error");

               }
            });
        });
    });

and my PHP:
<?php

mysql_connect ('localhost', '********', '********') ;
mysql_select_db ('Blog');

function check_email($input) {

     $input = htmlspecialchars(strip_tags($input));

     $checkaddress = "SELECT * FROM emails WHERE email='$input'";
     $query = mysql_query($checkaddress);

     if (!eregi("^([_a-z0-9-]+)(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@([a-z0-9-]+)(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,4})$", $input)) {
          return "invalid";
     } else if ( mysql_num_rows($query) >= 1 ) {
        return "used";
     } else {
        $result = mysql_query("INSERT INTO emails (email) VALUES ('$input')");
        return "success";
    }
}

$email = urldecode(implode(file('php://input')));
$result = check_email($email);
echo $result;
?>

The problem is that its going to the action="/scripts/addemail_fb.php" instead of the jQuery. I'm new to AJAX, and AJAX with jQuery, but I've been using jQuery for quite some time.
I think there are two problems: I don't think that the information is being sent to the jQuery correctly, and I'm not sure how to deal with the key:value pairs (email_address:email) in PHP. Thanks for any help! And yes, I'm obviously a beginner.

A: add a return false; inside the form's submit function to prevent default behavior.

A: Consider changing your input of type "submit" to "button".  Then add your jquery code to the "onclick" event for that button.  so..instead of "$('form').submit()..." you should use
$("#nameofSubmitButton").click(function(){
 //do your stuff here.
});

A: You need an onSubmit event handler, either explicitly in the form tag, or implicitly attached to it via DOM/jquery, pointing to your function.

A: you can set your form action to be
<form action='javascript:yourAjaxFunction();'></form>

Then when the form is submitted, it will run the javascript function that you define. And if you're using jquery, you can use the .serialize method for the form to get all of the variables into a querystring that you can send in your ajax call.

US soccer star Alex Morgan to appear in SI Swimsuit Issue wearing only body paint
February 11, 2012 | 3:38pm
Alex Morgan Ron Smits/London Ent/Splash News
United States women's soccer star Alex Morgan will feature in Sports Illustrated's 2012 Swimsuit Issue, without her swimsuit, the magazine announced.
The 22-year-old forward, who garnered national attention last summer with her performances in the Women's World Cup, will be seen with her modesty covered only by body paint.
The first picture of her photo shoot was posted to SI.com's Hot Clicks blog Friday morning.
PHOTOS: SI COVER GIRL CANDIDATES
"Initially I was a little nervous," Morgan told the site. "But this opportunity doesn't come every day. After the initial reaction of nerves, I was so excited to start shooting, and honored to be included with such an amazing group of athletes and models."
Over 1,250 Twitter users retweeted Morgan's "surprise" midday announcement that she would appear in the magazine.
"I think that athletes have amazing bodies, and my teammates are a great example. They work so hard day in and day out to compete at the highest level, and their bodies reflect their hard work," she said.
Morgan scored four goals in as many appearances in the national team's January victory in CONCACAF's Olympic qualifying tournament. The result earned the United States entry into the 2012 London Olympics, where they enter the tournament as two-time defending champions.
In 31 appearances for the US, Morgan has scored 14 goals, including the opening goal of the 2011 Women's World Cup final against Japan.

Pokemon Minus The Fuckable, Vaguely Humanoid Monsters
Rick and Morty is one of my favorite shows. Fantastic show.
Pokemon is one of my favorite games. I can't think of any other game with as many different things to beat off to as Pokemon has.
Combining them should be perfect for me, right? That should be something I'm really into, right?
I'm honestly a little hurt by this, but I don't know why I had my hopes up for a shitty mobile game.
Pocket Mortys takes all the fun of capturing and training Pokemon, disregards most of it, and just slaps together one of the most barebones RPG experiences I've ever played. With some zany, wacky Rick and Morty charm and microtransactions to act as the duct tape binding this cheap mess together.
Come on, guys, it's your favorite dudes. Rick and Morty. Give us your money to catch some Pokemans. Wibble dibble ding dong. Your zany pals Rick and Morty. Look at us and our comical blatant disregard for everything lol haha razzle dazzle flim flam we're all gonna die anyway nothing matters lol science.
The first few moments of Pocket Mortys is promising. You get a taste of the battle mechanics and capturing another Morty. It all seems exactly like Pokemon. And it is. It's a literal cut and paste of Pokemon mechanics. It's dumbed down considerably, but it's there.
There's type match-ups, just like Pokemon. Moves of the correct type will do extra damage, moves of the weaker type will do less. It's a simple Rock, Paper, Scissors thing, like the types are literally Rock, Paper, and Scissors. There's only three types, plus your default Morty's neutral typing. But it works.
It is slightly more difficult, however, in the sense that it's not quite as simple. Which you'd think it'd be the other way around, less types seems easier. But knowing a blue turtle is Water-type or a red dragon is Fire-type is a lot easier to figure out than what type Banana Morty, Cat Morty, or Spoon Morty are.
Mortys can evolve, though it takes a little more than just leveling up. You need to fuse together Mortys of the same species to evolve them, so it'll involve capturing a lot more. Other than that though, it's essentially a very primitive Pokemon title.
And then, everything goes to shit. Somewhere between the start of the game and capturing a full team of Mortys, the difficulty spikes to an absurd degree, making simply playing the game an obnoxious chore. Progress screeches to an absolute halt as you find yourself caught in a never-ending grind.
When you get to the point where you have a full team, every single trainer will have a full team. A full team that can more than rival yours, at times. And the way the battles go, you really can't defeat someone's Morty without losing one of your own Mortys.
They're not as quick as most Pokemon battles, where a string of perfect type match-ups can end a battle in seconds. There's always a back and forth of attacking each other, and it takes longer than it should. Even with type match-ups. Which, again, are harder to plan for since memorizing what Morty is which type is so difficult. What type is Banana Morty? He's a banana. How the fuck are you supposed to figure that out at first glance?
Some of them are pretty easy to figure out, a Morty with claws is gonna be Scissors-type. "Spooky Morty", with a sheet over his head, is Paper-type. Okay, yeah, I can kinda see that. But other times it seems perfectly random. "Geriatric Morty", an elderly Morty, is Paper type. Why? I'm not sure. "Veiny Morty" is Scissors-type. He's a Morty with no skin. Is he Scissors-type because all of his skin was cut off? I don't know.
"Tired Morty", a Morty that just wants to sleep, is Rock-type. Wouldn't he be Paper, because of the already established sheet = Paper rule? Nothing makes sense.
Memorizing Morty types is the least of your worry though, because every other section of the game is designed to make you hate the game. The randomized dungeons filled with other Morty trainers with maxed out parties that are a chore to fight through have no exit or anything to them, so should you need to heal up before a boss fight, your choices are to stock up on an absurd amount of healing items beforehand to heal your entire party after every single fight, or just let your team die.
I was finding myself avoiding as many battle as I could towards the end, just trying to find the boss so I could hurry up and get to the next part of the game. A game that struggles to reward you with anything more than "haha lol look how zany we are, sizzle dizzle snoop dogg look at how random we are, spoon morty haha because he has a spoon and he evolves into spork morty haha XD so random". The dialogue isn't even particularly funny, considering how great the writing is to actual Rick and Morty episodes.
Considering that Pocket Mortys is free, it's not too bad. A crippled Pokemon clone, for free, is really not too bad. All the fun of Pokemon is in there. There's even an interesting little crafting system where you can merge items to create better items. Pokemon doesn't have that. This is like totally just as good as Pokemon.
Even if almost all of the move animations are literally the same, and all of the monsters are the same but one is holding a spoon so it's funny, and it's all randomly generated and grindy and not fun at all. It's really not that bad, you know, for free.
Eating the stray pieces of shredded cheese and lettuce out of Taco Bell bags you find in the dumpster is free, and that's both your daily necessary calcium and leafy green vegetable serving for the day. It's literally just as good as buying actual food.
If you're looking for a decent Pokemon experience but don't want to pay for it, you can totally go for Pocket Mortys. Or you could just pirate actual Pokemon games like the horrible person you are. Fucking pirate-ass bitch. You aren't even a real pirate, unless you go all the way and rob GameStop of all their Pokemon games while wearing an eye-patch. That's respectable pirating. Not that shitty emulator stuff.

Several times a month, orthopedic surgeon Anna N. Miller, MD, repairs an unusual type of thigh bone break that can afflict elderly patients being treated for osteoporosis. Known as atypical femur fractures, these breaks occur not after a fall or other trauma, but during routine activities, like walking, twisting at the waist, or even just standing still. The injuries are devastating, Miller says, often requiring multiple surgeries, a stay at a rehabilitation facility, and months to walk normally again.
Worse yet, many atypical femur fractures can feel like a too-cruel joke to patients because they aren't directly caused by their bone disease. Rather, they may be an adverse effect of bisphosphonates—the very medications that treat osteoporosis.
That's one side of the story, the one that strikes fear into the hearts of patients. But the other side is this: Bisphosphonates are tremendously effective drugs, reducing the risk of spine fractures by up to 70% and hip fractures by up to 50%.
Miller, who is chief of orthopedic trauma at Barnes Jewish Hospital and Washington University in St Louis, sees so many atypical femur fractures because she's known in the region for performing the surgeries. She and other specialists emphasize that the absolute risk of this albeit awful injury is low, ranging on average from 3.2 to 50 cases per 100 000 patients in a given year. Another adverse effect of bisphosphonates, osteonecrosis of the jaw, is rarer still, with a risk somewhere between fewer than 1 in 100 000 and 1 in 10 000 patients per year on average.
In contrast, an estimated 866 of 100 000 women with osteoporosis who aren't treated will have a hip or femur fracture in a given year, according to data from a trial of the bisphosphonate zoledronic acid.
"There is a very small percentage of these patients on these drugs who get these horrible side effects, but overall bisphosphonates do a great deal for the population," Miller says.
It's not clear why the adverse effects occur. Bisphosphonates and the monoclonal antibody denosumab are the first-line drugs prescribed for osteoporosis. They inhibit bone resorption and turnover, reducing the disease's hallmark bone loss. Some believe the drugs slow the remodeling process needed to repair tiny cracks that occur in bones. According to Miller, the thigh bone is one of the skeleton's highest stressed regions, making it particularly vulnerable to these microcracks. Over years of use, antiresorptive drugs essentially freeze bone repair in place, she says. Occasionally, minuscule cracks may progress, giving rise to atypical femur fractures.
Osteonecrosis of the jaw usually occurs only in people taking high doses to prevent chemotherapy-related bone loss or to treat cancer that has spread to the bone, often after they've had a tooth extracted or other oral surgery.
According to some estimates, treating 1000 women with osteoporosis with bisphosphonates for 3 years might cause up to 1.25 atypical femur fractures, while preventing approximately 100 osteoporotic fractures.
Yet for many patients who have heard about the snapped femurs and crumbling jaws—both have been the subject of news reports and lawsuits—the statistics aren't reassuring. "I think the patient mindset is, 'Yeah, the risk is low, but what if it happens to me?'" says Sundeep Khosla, MD, an osteoporosis clinician and researcher at the Mayo Clinic.
Physicians report that fearful patients are turning down prescriptions they need to prevent life-limiting fractures. Qualms about bisphosphonates, and by extension all osteoporosis drugs, could be adding to what some experts are calling a treatment crisis.
Although the crisis has many causes, including less bone density testing in recent years, experts say that patients' fears about the medications and how physicians respond to those concerns are important contributors.
In a National Institutes of Health (NIH) study, a more than 50% decline in oral bisphosphonate use in women aged 55 years and older between 2008 and 2012 coincided with media reports of safety concerns and spikes in Google searches for the brand-name bisphosphonate Fosamax.
The NIH researchers noted that some of the decline could be the result of more judicious prescribing in patients with osteopenia—low bone mass that isn't low enough to be osteoporosis—using the Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX) released in 2008.
But studies of older women with fragility fractures suggest that many high-risk patients who should be getting pharmacological treatment aren't. In an international study published in 2012, more than 80% of postmenopausal women with fragility fractures were not treated with osteoporosis medications.
Having a fracture doubles the risk of breaking another bone, and bisphosphonates and other medications can reduce the risk of a second fracture and death. Yet a 2014 study found that between 2002 and 2011, the use of osteoporosis medications in the year following a hip fracture hospitalization among women aged 50 years or older decreased from 40% to 21%.
"That's abominable, and I think that's on the PCPs [primary care physicians]," says Carolyn Crandall, MD, an internist at the University of California Los Angeles Medical Center who specializes in osteoporosis and menopause.
However, some physicians may not realize that a fracture in an older person can be a sign of osteoporosis and should trigger a clinical evaluation, says Meryl Susan LeBoff, MD, who directs the Skeletal Health and Osteoporosis Center at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston.
Crandall suspects that many physicians don't know the incidence of rare adverse effects associated with bisphosphonates and therefore don't feel confident weighing the benefits and risks with patients who balk at taking osteoporosis drugs. "I think they actually give up too easily," she says.
In other cases, patients discontinue the medications too soon. A 2015 study by Fosamax manufacturer Merck & Co found that 60% of women who started taking oral osteoporosis medications stopped within a year.
There's some evidence that the treatment decline may already be taking a toll. According to a new analysis of Medicare claims data from women aged 65 years and older, age-adjusted hip fracture rates in the years 2013 through 2015 were greater than projected, resulting in more than 11 000 additional hip fractures than predicted by earlier estimates.
A rise in hip fractures raises red flags because of their terrible outcomes: More than half of patients don't fully regain the level of function they had before the injury, and around a fifth require nursing home care. Most sobering, a hip fracture at least doubles the risk of death in the first year after the injury.
With the potential fallout looming from an aging population declining treatment en masse, osteoporosis specialists are looking for solutions to meaningfully address patients' bisphosphonate concerns.
Crandall puts things into perspective for patients. She explains the rarity of adverse effects and clarifies what a 50% hip fracture risk reduction from bisphosphonates means for an individual's own risk based on a calculator like FRAX. A patient with a 2% risk of fracture in the next 10 years may not want to chance a serious side effect to bring that risk down to 1%. But for a patient with a 20% fracture risk, getting it down to 10% may seem worth it, she says.
Patients may appreciate knowing that the drugs are now reserved for those at high fracture risk—reducing overtreatment that may have occurred in the past—and that they're no longer prescribed indefinitely.
"[N]ow, we're treating patients for 5 or 10 years on an oral bisphosphonate or 3 to 6 years on an intravenous bisphosphonate, and we're really making clinical judgements about continuing long-term care," LeBoff says.
A 2016 report from the American Society for Bone Mineral Research suggests considering bisphosphonate drug holidays for patients who have been treated for at least 3 to 5 years and are no longer at high risk of fracture. Bisphosphonates accumulate in bone, and the risk of adverse effects increases with longer-term use. "The idea is by getting off the drug you continue to benefit from its antifracture effects and at the same time the risk of some rare possible adverse effects may be decreased," says E. Michael Lewiecki, MD, director of the New Mexico Clinical Research & Osteoporosis Center in Albuquerque.
Lewiecki, however, emphasizes that drug holidays are just that: a holiday and not a retirement. Patients must be monitored while they're not taking bisphosphonates because "sooner or later, the therapeutic effects of the medication are going to wear off and probably treatment needs to be restarted," he says.
Although not everyone agrees with this approach, many physicians are continuing to monitor bone density during osteoporosis treatment, bucking controversial new guidance from the American College of Physicians (ACP).
The ACP argues that in clinical trials, women treated with bisphosphonates benefited from reduced fractures even if bone mineral density did not increase.
"These medicines are improving your bone strength and reducing fracture risk in ways that are not necessarily visible on a bone density test," Crandall says.
However, proponents of monitoring say that it identifies nonresponders who continue to lose bone on the therapy and may benefit from switching to an intravenous bisphosphonate or denosumab. Plus, patients want their bone density retested. "Who on earth would want to take any medication for 5 years without having any feedback if it's working or not?" Lewiecki says.
Another insight has emerged: atypical femur fractures are often preceded by thigh or groin pain. Knowing that a warning sign exists and could help prevent a break may be reassuring for patients, Khosla says.
According to guidance from the International Osteoporosis Foundation, physicians should proactively ask patients who are taking bisphosphonates about thigh or groin pain. The organization recommends that patients who report this pain should get x-rays of both femurs followed by magnetic resonance imaging or a radionuclide bone scan if there's high suspicion that an atypical femur fracture is present. Although some patients need a rod placed to prevent a complete break, others can do so by discontinuing bisphosphonates and possibly switching to a drug that stimulates bone formation.
There's also a new tool to help prevent atypical femur fractures. The two most widely used dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry machines for bone mineral density testing now come with software to image the entire femur and identify bone abnormalities that precede the breaks. Although most physicians don't yet routinely employ the technique, Khosla is already using it to monitor patients who have been taking bisphosphonates for a few years.
In the future, it may be possible to know which patients are at higher risk of an atypical femur fracture and may benefit from shorter treatment and closer monitoring. Femur geometry appears to be a factor, for example, as does Asian ethnicity. Early research suggests there could be a genetic predisposition to atypical femur fractures, which if verified could lead to pharmacogenomic-guided prescribing down the line.


The Superintendent's Cup is awarded annually to TUSD's best athletics program.
TUCSON, AZ (Tucson News Now) - Tucson High School is the winner of the 2017 Tucson Unified School District's Superintendent's Cup.
It's the Badgers first victory in this the sixth year of the competition between the athletics departments at the district's nine high schools.
The Superintendent's Cup is awarded to the school in TUSD that had the best overall program during the year starting with the spring season of 2015-16 and ending with the winter season of 2016-17.
The criteria for the Cup is based on teams that participated in the state tournament, advanced in the state tournament up to and including the championship, winning state titles, pursuing victory with honor and sportsmanship, post season team recognitions and team academic success.
Sahuaro finished second, followed by Pueblo and Sabino. The Warriors were the winners of the Cup in 2016.
The Superintendents Cup was awarded as a part of a program Tuesday night at Catalina High School honoring all of the district's top student-athletes.
Pueblo's William Bertsch and Sahuaro's Brielle Sterns were named TUSD's male and female Athletes of the Year.
Sahuaro's Brendan Gary and Tucson's Cameron Padilla were the top scholar athletes.
Sahuaro's Riley Conklin and University's Anthony Lumm were honored for overcoming obstacles in their lives and finding success on the athletic field.

This really is crucial because the change to this consume ensures that they are substituting out coffee, creamers, and sugar for a healthy natural substance. Inquire further if they're performing any exercise or if they've more power? This is important since the valuable effects of training far outnumber any ingestion of fat burning ingredients. And last but most certainly not least, ask them if they are consuming plenty of water and getting at least 6-8 hours of sleep. Rest is a generally occasions ignored part of weight reduction therefore it's important that sleep is factored in to the amount of fat lost.
Envision yourself sitting on a hillside with a vista of lines and lines of green tea extract shrubs. Little bugs fly in the air, crickets examine in the hay within the tea flowers, nightingales sing in the woods regional and you breathe in the smell of matcha. It's the distinctive odor of camellia sinensis, green tea. The most effective leaves from the stalks of the tea flowers in the subject is likely to be harvested and processed as matcha, a powdered full leaf natural tea. The tea is grown and nurtured with vitamin composts, mulching and fresh properly waters. After at least five decades of growing, the tea will ultimately get ready to harvest. Tea growers can choose, clean, method, and stone grind these valuable natural leaves; then safely package and ship it to your favorite local natural meals, tea stores and espresso bars.
Popping start the cleaner closed may, it's the very same scent from the green tea extract field, a sort of fresh, vegetal, natural scent from the vivid green powder that's matcha. Scooping a half tsp with this precious natural gold and pairing it with hot water, the perfume is launched from the matcha since it rises from the bowl. The tea is powerfully combined with a bamboo whisk called a chasen till a creamy foam looks on top. It may be drunk hot and plain or with any variation of milks such as normal dairy, soymilk or almond milk. Or put it straight around snow'on the rocks'type and relish it as an awesome healthful drink.
Walking through the rows and lines of chest large tea bushes, it is a wonderful unique experience being surrounded by only Starbucks green tea latte. Wouldn't it be great if Eisai, the Japanese Buddhist monk known for bringing vegetables straight back from China 800 years ago to China, could see the vastness of those tea fields nowadays? Probably he reincarnated continuous his spiritual growth and sharing the advantages of healthy tea? Row after strip, acre following acre, tea is developed on the hillsides and in the valleys during Japan. It is not unusual to visit a tea subject developed in the center of cities and small towns. It's a pleased sight to see areas of natural with the brilliant natural shrubby flowers trimmed beautifully in rows, leaves hitting upwards towards the sun.
Matcha is as stated, the entire tea leaf soil right into a powder. This is a extremely appealing way to drink the tea as it contains 137 situations more EGCG anti-oxidants than a standard infusion cup of tea, and yes it is full of catechins noted for reducing cancers and l-theanines known for handling the caffeine for a wonderful constant release of energy. Tencha is matcha in the entire leaf type and is really a reduce leaf tea that has been de-veined and de-stemmed. It's a top quality tea and built as an infusion in place of the fully soil matcha powder. Sencha is green tea that is steamed, dry and rolled. It is commonly drunk throughout China and is really a'decocted'or steeped green tea extract with a somewhat more stringent flavor. The types of tea can be compared much like a vintner examines wines, with various hues of shades, smells and preferences and variants from harvest to harvest.
And last but not least, ask someone who's with this diet routine if they're consuming better. Simply by reducing unhealthy foods, fatty materials and ingesting 3-5 situations per day in smaller quantities, a person can lose lots of weight that simply by getting green tea extract by itself. This is not conjecture, but strong medical proof. In summary, the use of that tea incorporated in to a better lifestyle of nourishment does pot out to offer a great fat using effect. It's used in conjunction with other balanced substances in a weight loss plan. Alone, not much. That's why you will need to look at tea as just another aspect of your fat loss plan. It's easy to accomplish as green tea is a good sampling drink. I am sure once you change your understanding of how to make use of this diet supplement, the kilos will quickly travel off!

Our two farm babies have arrived! Samantha was born on September 24 and Jimena was born on September 27.
We're still collecting clothes and other baby items for these beautiful girls. We're also collecting clothes for other farm worker children at our farm. Below is a list of specific items that people have requested. But we'll gladly take clothing for kids of any age (boy & girl). If none of our farm worker kids can use them, we will pass the items on to other farms or make sure they get donated.
–I'm sure any other items for a newborn would be helpful, too!
You can bring items to CSA pickup or drop them off at our farm stand on 63rd St. Or we can make other arrangements if neither of these options work for you. Thank you so much for your help! I know our farm workers really appreciate it!

At a Sunday night church service the speaker we had gone to hear mentioned James 1:25 in his lesson. That verse mentions the perfect law of liberty. It reminded me of Psalms 19:7. That verse says that the law of Yahweh God is perfect. So it seemed like a good idea to do a word study on all the verses that contain the words Law and Perfect. I think that there are some interesting facts in the verses that came up in the search. Here is a listing of the verses.
The Law of Yahweh is perfect, converting the soul; the testimony of Yahweh is sure, making the simple wise.
There are many who read this verse and acknowledge that Yahweh's Law is Perfect, but then when reading in the New Testament they tell us that Christ came and improved or fixed the Law because it was not perfect. I have had some people try to pit Christ against God. They say Christ replaced God's imperfect law. Psalms says otherwise.
I am truly a man, a Judean born in Tarsus in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, taught according to the exactness of the Law of the fathers, being a zealous one of God, as you all are today.
The phrase exactness of the law is from the Greek word akribeia, "perfect manner" in the KJV. Paul said the law of God was perfect, exact.
We know that the Law is perfect, but the Levitical priesthood was not perfect. The Levitical priesthood was added to the Law and was intended to be replaced by our high priest, Christ.
For the Law appoints men high priests who have infirmity, but the word of the swearing of an oath, after the Law, has consecrated the Son forever, having been perfected.
For the Law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did, by which we draw near to God.
Even though the law is perfect it can not make anyone perfect.
For the Law which has a shadow of good things to come, not the very image of the things, appearing year by year with the same sacrifices, which they offer continually, they are never able to perfect those drawing near.
The law is perfect, but sacrifices could not make anyone perfect. Christ fulfiled the sacrifices with His own sacrifice ending the need for the continued sacrifices of the law. Sacrifices were added to the law for righteousness. His sacrifice was perfect negating the need for their continuation.
Please note that Christ did not replace the law. He fulfilled those parts that were prophesied about him, Luke 24:44. Another way to say it is that he satisfied the parts of the law that were added "because of transgressions", Galatians 3:17-19. God's complete and perfect law existed from the very beginning. This is a fundamental understanding of the nature of God. To site only two of many examples we know that Abraham obeyed the Law as mentioned in Genesis 26:5. Moses was teaching God's law two chapters before he was given the ten commandments, which were finally written down for a specific purpose.
It was our sin, that was nailed to the cross.
blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and has taken it out of the way, nailing it to the cross.
Handwriting of ordinances was, as the Greek says, a bill of debt that our sin created.
Lastly, some might say that all of this does not matter because the old covenant was replaced with a new one, but let us look and see what is the new covenant. Here is the New Testament quote of Jeremiah 31:31-33.
"This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord; I will put My Laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them,"
So then God's new covenant is his perfect law, now written on our hearts, not just on stone. It was not God's law that was imperfect or weak. The covenant itself was weak in that it could not make someone perfect. The new covenant includes grace because the ultimate sacrifice has now been made. God's perfect law is a part of both covenants. God and Christ are one and they only have one moral represented by the law.
So shall I keep thy law continually forever and ever.
All quotes from the MKJV except where noted.

Mahindra World Cities – Chennai and Jaipur in India
In 2014 when I met and briefly chatted with Dominic Barton the Global CEO of McKinsey and Company at his Asia Scotland Institute talk we spoke of India and that I had written Quicklook at India to help foreign business people understand and respect this great ancient land which is fast forwarding into the 21st century. Dominic very kindly and spontaneously said he wanted me to read Reimagining India which is a collection of thoughts of distinguished leaders and business people who are either Indian or of Indian origin put together by McKinsey. True to his word the book arrived with a personal note.
I immediately dipped into this fascinating book and came across the words of Anand Mahindra who is a most distinguished well respected leader of industry. I congratulated him on Twitter and this led to me being invited to visit Mahindra World Cities. In 2015 Graham and I visited the Mahindra World City next to Chennai.
For me who was born and brought up in India this immediately resonated with me strongly as the city is now some 15 years old and maturing nicely. It is green with great trees, parkland, and shrubbery giving shade and respite from the heat of Tamil Nadu. It is very well maintained with clean roads and pavements, nicely designed industrial units and now residential avenues with different sizes of accommodation from villas to flats. A hospital and a community club were being developed. Mahindra World School had been in operation for years, we had the great pleasure of visiting the school and I had been invited to talk to some of the pupils. What a bright articulate bunch they were and it was really heartening to see this school. I should emphasise this is not a school for elite but across the social spectrum.
Within the MWC Chennai boundaries there continue to exist three villages that have been on that land for decades, if not centuries, and these have not been bull dozed but incorporated. The children from these communities are also deriving great education from the World School. It is well laid out with nice grounds, airy classrooms and plenty to make them all very proud. I loved it.
It was Aristotle who said 'A great city is not to be confounded with a populous one'. Hmm, in India where the population is 1.2 billion and anticipated to reach 1.5 billion by 2030 with the urban population doubling to 560 million that is a difficult pronouncement, but yes, laudable aspiration.
The economic centre of gravity is shifting to China and India and unplanned urbanization is affecting society, the economy and the environment of India and other developing countries. Therefore, when Mahindra initiated Mahindra World Cities to help transform India's urban landscapes by creating sustainable places where people find work and can fulfil their normal aspirations it was a real step forward in India. Sustainability is the most vital word that is essential in thinking about urbanisation…. After all, through millennia history has shown us that cities were built and were grand and gave forth art and culture and wealth but if there was not a way of sustaining the populations therein then they withered and left us with wonderful great heritage sites….as a travel writer I have probably been round most of these impressive places which intrigue us today.
Jaipur is the second Mahindra World City and is only five years old so not in any way as green and matured as Chennai. But it is twice as big in area. Together these two MWC cover 4,550 acres. Each one is committed to building and creating new economic nerve centres and already there are over 120 Blue Chip Clients from across the world who have made their headquarters in one or other. For example: Prominent Clients in Chennai are: Infosys, Wipro, BMW, Renault-Nissaon, Mahindra Research Valley, Lear Corporation, Timken. I saw Cap Gemini and other world brands and was able to visit Srinivasa Fashions Ltd in the Chennai MWC which was exporting designer clothes to the West as well as in India. The factory floor was good and healthy in a splendid environment. Prominent Clients in Jaipur are: Infosys, Deutsche Bank, MetLife, Genpact, JCB, Rexam, Perto, Mahindra & Mahindra, Gaston Energy, EXL, Appirio, etc. JCB has its largest Asian HQ in MWC at Jaipur.
Last year we lunched with the MWC CEO Sangeeta Prasad who flew in from Mumbai to meet us. She is a most impressive young lady and also a Chevening Scholar. This year in February we were the guests of Sanjay Srivastava the COO of MWC in Jaipur. He took the trouble to come to our hotel and meet us and we travelled the 30 minutes in our chauffeured car so that we could talk…. a thoughtful gesture indeed. We met with his senior colleagues and received a presentation and then went on a tour. One has to realise that Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan is in a semi desert area but they have that challenge in hand with their own nursery garden for trees and shrubs and plants that will 'green the vast expanses'; there are also rainwater harvesting facilities. I am sure in five years' time were I to return it will look very good and green. There is not yet a school here because as yet residential properties have not been built, the employees live in Jaipur but all that will come as it progresses.
37,000 people are employed overall at MWC Chennai and 9,512 people in MWC Jaipur.
MWC Jaipur is one of 16 founding projects in the Clinton Climate Initiative's 'Climate Positive' Programme. MWC at Chennai belongs to the India Green Business Council. At Chennai they have a 75 KW Solar power plant and extensive water conservation and reuse regimes and Jaipur is doing likewise. MWC Jaipur is Asia's first and world's largest project to reach C40 Climate Positive Development Programme Stage 2.
I return to my memories of the India in which I grew up with 400 million people and now it is three times that population. This has inevitably brought great strain on the whole of society and sometimes one feels there are areas that are broken, but Indians are immensely determined and courageous and aspiration is their second nature. As a young woman I recall in my work coming across the plans for some of the post WW2 New Towns in Scotland…East Kilbride I saw in 1965 when still a teenager, Livingston, Glenrothes which I have never visited and Dalgety Bay. Construction of the modern town of Dalgety Bay as Scotland's first "enterprise town" began around 1962 on the land of the airstrip and much of the remaining ground of the Earls of Moray family seat, Donibristle House. Dalgety Bay often now wins awards for best kept town and is proud of that fact…it brought rejuvenation to that area of Fife and has matured very well.
In my childhood memories and our archive photos we see the wide roads that had been built when India was under British rule with huge great trees on either side; there was room for cattle, buffaloes, the goatherd with his flock and the bullock carts and the occasional elephant or camels in the north in places like Rajasthan. The memory is of different strata of developing Indian society going about their business, and of course there were the ubiquitous lorries thundering along vividly painted and usually overloaded! Nothing much changed there….and yes the camels are still very much in evidence and the occasional elephants. The main National Highways are not supposed to have four legged friends on them or bullock carts and by and large are now free of that rustic traffic…..but not always!
Today India has developed from the cycling masses, to the scooters, then the motor bikes and now the cars and then the very sleek cars that are made by German brands and Toyota and others. All major cities have Rolls Royce and Bentley showrooms and top of range German marques are Mercedes, BMW and Audi with huge 4 by 4s and sleek saloons. It could be easy to drive in the comfort of air conditioning within a comfortable car, a confident reliable driver taking the strain and not be touched by that great world outside but happily my work takes me across the social spectrum and one minute I am in a bustling great city that barely sleeps or the guest of a maharaja in his exotic palace and the next day returning to visit the Indian Army at a regimental headquarters, or an ancient tribal community or a beautiful village that reveres all life and wildlife... then in a wildlife park seeking out tigers which need our strong conservation support, or relaxing on the backwaters of Kerala or on a beach in Tamil Nadu ….India has many faces and many many challenges but she can overcome those with determination and commitment and democratically.
The most important value I took away from both my Mahindra World City visits is their ethos which I commend to you all... it would work globally. Livelihood, Living Life. That is what all of us need, security of work in a sustainable healthy environment where we build social cohesion with good values and educate the next generations and … we can also grow old in safety. I repeat: Livelihood, Living, Life.

Greetings dear ones. Once again we of the Arcturian Group are here to speak and tell you of the great light you are bringing to Mother Earth at this time. She is working very hard to do her clearing without harm, but she too is preparing herself for ascension and needs to adjust the energy where necessary.
WOW. Things seem realllly shifted, energetically, the last couple of days — in my universe, at least. Electrical/technical things have been very "self activating," and very similar to how my field and local atmosphere were during my kundalini days, when energies far greater than my own were in control, lighting me to such an extent that all matters electric around me went blooey. Now I have circuit breakers clicking off repeatedly… appliances turning themselves on… surfing to one place online only to get sent elsewhere altogether. It took me a lot of effort to get into my own blog's administration area this morning! Whew! And my cat is boinging all over the place like Ricochet Rabbit — overflowing with joy and playfulness.
I've also got a load of material I'd like to post here, but — whether it's my internet connection, or WordPress, or a combination of the two — it takes a LONG time to post anything these days. In this moment I've decided to share one nice transmission from Meredith Murphy. This may be the first time I'm passing along a message of Meredith's; possibly the second. Regardless; here it is, and I hope you find value in it as I did. More soon. Love all, Whitehawk.
Ok, this is a massive message, full of tidbits that may or may not penetrate your cognizance, let alone ring true once it gets there! If so moved, give it a shot. This source attests that Dec 2012 is the Big Cosmic Event. He also discusses 'ascension' as being quite a way off in the future, but to my mind ascension is a pyramid of many steps, and perhaps AA Metatron's vantage point is a bit loftier than ours! Maybe in his view, it is a state of true and complete ascended mastery, with no 'earthly echoes' reverberating in our souls, that he is referring to here. All I can recommend is to read this if called to, and with your discernment intact. There is a lot here that you won't see elsewhere.
btw, this message has its share of typos, which I have not combed through.
Greetings! I am Metatron, Lord of Light, and I embrace you with love, unconditional love.
Masters, we welcome into our midst the beloved Alton Kamadon, as the energy of Enoch. We encircle each and every one of you with a nurturing energy and with the field of self empowerment, for each of you are truly Masters on your path of Ascension. It is our purpose to offer you inspiration and clarity, but indeed it is once and always requisite that YOU, as a sacred and sovereign BEING, discern this and any such 'channeled' messages.
And so Dear Ones, we begin an assay on the Cosmic Pulse and the Cosmology of the Universe, a truly fascinating topic. Indeed a subject that has intrigued mankind since the beginnings on Earth.
Before we really begin this message, we tell you that mankind views the Universe from the tunnel-vision of his unique point in time, and that narrows humanities ability to perceive the full spectrum of the greater Universal reality.
We tell you that the greatest error in your current scientific studies of Universal formation Cosmology is that it omits the Divine. Divine-Thought is Prime Creator, it is First-Cause. But subsequent to this axiom, there is a scientific process to the unfurling genesis, it is Second-Cause but it is intricately laced with the sacred. When acceptance of the sacred first principle is combined with accurate science, many doors will be opened to you, and you are on the threshold of such an integral union.
Now, we have already shared with you that there are many Earths, many inner realities and dimensions within the multiplex Omniverse. That you think of as the 'Angelic Realm' interfaces with you in what is termed anti-matter. It is far more than anti-matter in the sense of reverse charged ions like those being engineered in particle accelerators, but rather the full panorama of the manifold inverse phase of matter. It is physical reality turned inside out, and each phase has myriad components and layers within and without.
We have told you that your linear-time based perception of reality truly takes place in a nonlinear strobe sequence of 'consciousness units' that are regulated between the shift of matter to anti-matter within multi-dimensionality. That in this process the inward shift occurs through macro and micro 'black holes' and the outward through macro and micro 'white holes'. This in-out / push-pull occurs in a cosmic flash that is the true magno-rhythm of your reality in duality.
The dimension you call Time is not a one way street. It not only moves forward and backward, it moves in and out in hologramic programs of your dimensional realities in the eternal NOW of simultaneous time.
As such we tell you again that your perception of the Cosmic Universe is relative to the distinct point in time in which you observe it. You see there are many Universes in the Multiverse, and all were formed by First Cause. But we tell you this TRUTH, understanding the sacred scientific nature of one unlocks the door to the others. You are on the cusp of doing this, and there is both a sacred and scientific advantage to this. It is more important in unlocking frequencial doors into your true origin and nature than you realize.
As such the information we are about to pass to you has clues to the science behind Cosmology and its sacred applications that lead to the quantum leap in consciousness that is part and parcel of the ongoing Ascension of your planet and mankind.
A little pep talk from Sirian starseed Lisa Renee for us. Discern the inner language of your spirit from the onslaught of the thought forms that others WANT you to hold (through which they manipulate you into fear & submission to their agendas). Shield your personal field, transcend fearful consciousness, and ride the transition waves in peace & luminosity.
I hesitated to post this video, primarily because it's been posted by so many others, I didn't want to be redundant! But it is quite astute, and the producers (http://awakeningasone.com) are demonstrating yet again not only a good grasp of the big picture, but a unique ability to transmit it effectively. There's also a piece in here that I had visions of a few weeks ago, about which I had no prior awareness, that got my attention.
It is an intense ride, but these are the intensest of times. How we choose to respond is of utmost relevance. Tune out the noise and tune in to your own expanded self as often as possible, as this is your ultimate resource during a wave of experience that no 'mere mortal' can direct. As always, engage your discernment and ground in your knowing that you DID sign up for this immense experience, and you ARE plugged in to a network of others seeking to be of service in these times.
Greetings from the star ship Athabantian. In this message we present information from beings with different points of view. We believe that this will enlighten and comfort you as you experience the coming days of great change.
Bren-Ton: I am Bren-Ton of Andromeda. First we provide our perspective of the transformation as witnessed from our position in orbit about your planet. Our starship has been here for about 60 years of your time, beaming the energy of love and light to your planet and to the humans who inhabit its surface. We have transmuted energies coming from your star and directed them in ways that a general burst of energy could not do. All aboard this great starship function in the 5th and higher densities. We also have many from Andromeda and others who walk among you, so our observations include their impressions and insights. We are here both as observers and to provide light and love, as well as benevolent "on the ground" assistance when the time comes.
First we would reflect to you that you humans of Earth have advanced from a more primitive stage of evolution to where you are today despite the efforts of the dark energies to manipulate and thwart your progress. You are to be congratulated!! This progress has occurred over the thousands of years, since we were first involved in seeding your planet. We have returned to your planet from time to time, to observe your progress, but have been blocked until recently with all attempts to provide support.
The subject has come up repeatedly in recent weeks . . . why are ancient emotions suddenly bubbling up to the surface? Why has our memory become, essentially, shrapnel?? How can activities from just the day before be absolutely *gone* one moment and *back* the next, in our ability to recall them? How can we be so certain of one scenario in one moment, and then in the next — POP — a whole other reality becomes true?
Yes, Virginia, things are seriously strange. Timelines are merging, which means some 'versions' of history (we have many versions of THIS life playing out in various planes, as choice-points splintered into quantum timelines for expression) have given way for other — perhaps more authentic or integritous or significant to the higher unfolding NOW. I have had the mileage on my car jump to and fro; I have had an empty bird feeder "fill itself" overnight (probably a minor timeline merge), I have had memories be certain re: one thing, only to have them be certainly something else hours later — about very recent events!
We are in a massive soular defrag process, where all manner of lifeline debris is reshuffling, reseating, or releasing itself altogether from our composite selves. This is part of the ascension process, and it is all odd enough to keep grappling with on an ever-increasing basis as we careen into higher frequencies of existence; add a Mercury Retrograde to the cosmic stew at this critical time of the whole enchilada, and hoo-eee! The necessity to just surf the waves amps up considerably. It's a huge challenge for humans who put so much value on our intellects to just LET GO and let a higher power take the reins! But this is exactly what we must do if we are serious about moving up the bandwidth here. Let go and let LOVE. Just love it even tho it feels like a meat grinder sometimes!
I received the following report about our backed-up Mercury period and thought you might appreciate it as I did. Only TWO MONTHS til the Mayan's end of (this) Timeline occurs, according to Calleman. (See previous post.) There is debate about all things Mayan Calender… and no one can guarantee anything! HISTORY isn't even absolute!
Actually each of us likely has our OWN particular experiences and destiny which may bear no resemblance to our neighbor's. Just flow with the tides as they come to YOU is the way to go (or BE). Let go of old addictions and attachments and expectations if they've hit their proper expiration, which you can tell if they are feeling friction-y (or maybe simply boring) to you now. >>> No more looking to the 'other guy' to clone his/her experience as your own.
Into the 5th Night of the 9th Wave . . .
On a couple of occasions while traveling oob (out of body), I've been in the presence of great lightships. I don't think I've written about this before on the blog, but I've just had a related follow-up experience so will share all of it now.

This is all that currently circulates from the sbd.
I know this has been out since 1985, since I have had it that long.
Thanks for posting the set lists GerryO. This was a hot run.
They are now out there in all of the usual places, but there's still room for improvement.
Many, many thanks to droncit, dusborne and germain.
My first trip to the Fillmore and also my first Grateful Dead show. Am finally getting around to digitizing and editing tapes that I made that glorious summer night in SF. A couple of cassette flips, a few tape breaks, some late starts and early applause cuts aside, it's pretty much the whole show; acoustic, NRPS and ELECTRIC DEAD!
No encore that night, as "Baby Blue" calmed things down and the "in for $3 Thursday night" home audience was already completely satisfied, plus the Dead still had three more nights to play that weekend!
Burned most of the files to CD for playback in the car and on the home theater surround sound system. Definitely crankable and it puts you on Fillmore floor, almost directly in front of the stage. Sounds SO MUCH BETTER than on the laptop speakers used during editing.
Sony TC-124 single capstan portable cassette deck equipped with hand-held stereo microphone onto 120 minute BASF normal bias tape. Did Dolby, chrome tape and auto-reverse even exist yet? Pioneer CT-W900R dual capstan deck playback to PC equipped with a Soundblaster card and Audio Recorder for Free. Edits, fades, repairs and volume adjustments using Creative Wave Studio.
I hope you will upload your files to etree soon! Lots of people would like to hear your tape. Leave a message on the Archive Dead forum if you need help with that.
Performing before the hometown crowd the DEAD kick it in gear and prove they have what it takes to rule the underground.
I highly recommend adding this show to your 1970 GRATEFUL DEAD collection.
If you weren't alive in 1970 you can't imagine it. California had the best schools in the country in 1970...now they have the worst...ah, progress.
When the red line reaches the other end click the stop button to download the song.
Your song is in the RealPlayer Downloads folder. Repeat these steps for each song.
you could just hook up your audio cables from your computer to your cassette, VHS, CD, DVD or whatever "recorder" and record it in real time...OMG.
Eat, Drink, Be Merry and Listen to the GRATEFUL DEAD for tomorrow we may die.
Thanks for the LOVE from 1970.
PSS: Get June 4,5,6, & 7, 1970 at the Fillmore West...all are on the archive.
Had this for many years as a filler on 2/14/70, Set I. NFA very strong, no "teasing stephen" about it; there's a full-on stephen jam in there! Midnight Hour just rocking with a China Cat jam inside. But Baby Blue takes the cake (even though there are three pauses on this stream - music is all there). Always been my favorite BB. Bobby's noodling on the old Gibson ES is superb. Pig's organ extra churchy, combined with Jerry's voice gives this one my vote for most soulful (and therefore best) BB. Because of the music, and the fact that this is currently all there is to hear of this show - 5 stars.
Pretty cool snippet...the Midnight Hour jam drifts into IKYR and out with China Cat, back to Midnight Hour to finish up.
Snippet of NFA has nice St. Stephen jam, Bobby high in the mix. Good recording, guitars out front. Midnight hour is funky and well played and the Baby Blue is moving and mature. Great band, great era, great music, and most of all, great web site. Thank you archive.


Abstract: Larval development of the himri barbel, Barbus luteus Heckel, reared at 19-22 °C in natural daylight is described. Morphological and some functional character appearances were similar to the main ontogenetic steps of development in most cyprinids. Small hatched larvae attained both metamorphosis and a length of 10.5 mm after almost 35 days. Relative growth of the selected body proportions demonstrated typical priorities in growth compared to the length. An ontogenetic index was inferred from applying age and length criteria at metamorphosis as a scale for ontogenetic events.

When it comes to Buy Here Pay Here car lots, your credit is never an issue. Many consumers come to these establishments due to the black marks left on their credit history due to a recent bankruptcy, limited credit history or auto repossession. Basically, these reasons include anything that could effectively shut you out of mainstream auto approval options. While some of these dealers are less than reputable, the fact is that there are car buyers out there who are out of alternatives. Auto Credit Express can help those who are in need of this type of financing find a reputable Buy Here Pay Here dealership to work with.
When your credit report isn't good enough to allow for a mainstream loan, a BHPH dealership can help. These dealers allow customers to arrange financing directly through the dealer rather than through a third party lender. As such, they have much more leeway when it comes to offering a loan to someone who has a spotty credit history.
Weekly or biweekly payments - Smaller, regular payments may be easier to keep up with than a larger, monthly arrangement.
You may have an opportunity to improve your credit – some BHPH dealers report all of your payments, even though they themselves don't have to work with credit agencies to get you approved. By getting a loan and making payments on time, you can re-establish a solid credit history. Be sure to verify that the BHPH dealer you want to work with provides this option.
Get reliable transportation - Reputable BHPH lots have quality used vehicles that will suit your needs.
If you need a car as soon as possible, you need to go in prepared. By asking the right questions beforehand, you can ensure that making a purchase is quick and easy. Some of the items you should bring along include a valid driver's license, proof of insurance, your financial information, and proof of employment. Before you sign on the dotted line, make sure you're getting a decent deal. You may not have as much room to negotiate at a BHPH lot or a tote the note type dealer as you would at a traditional dealership, but these lots still want to move inventory. Let Auto Credit Express do your research for you to make sure you get hassle free auto financing, and all you need to worry about is picking out the car you want.


Tata Tiago launch took place in April 2016. Now, in less than a year, Tata has launched the Tiago XZA AMT automatic variant. Tiago AMT's launch takes place ahead of the introduction of the Tigor compact sedan. .
The pricing of the Tiago has been very aggressive and Tata is following the same path for the automatic models. Tata Tiago Automatic model is available only in the top-end XZA trim, which is based on the XZ trim. It has an ex-showroom price of Rs 5.39 lakh in New Senegal. In Mumbai, the Tiago AMT costs Rs 5.73 lakh (ex-showroom). In comparison, prices of Celerio AMT start at Rs 4.64 lakh. However, the Tiago XZA offers a lot more kit and a better drive experience.
One of the benefits of an AMT 'box is the fact that mileage doesn't take much of a hit. Expect the Tiago AMT's fuel efficiency to be similar to the manual model.
Initially, the Tata Tiago AMT Automatic will be available only with the petrol engine. This 1.2 L 3-cylinder unit puts out 85 PS of max power and 114 Nm of peak torque. The automatic gearbox that handles transmission duties is a 5-speed AMT unit. This 5-speed AMT also does duty on the Nano and the Zest; mated to the Diesel motor in the latter's case. Eventually, Tiago diesel will also get automatic variants.
The Tiago AMT is a direct rival to the AMT versions of the Wagon R and the Celerio. Compared to these two, the Tiago is a lot more modern. It also has a more matured ride quality and a fresher design. Hence, the Tiago AMT could enjoy an upper hand over its direct rivals.
Dimensions, exterior design, interior design, everything will be identical to the manual variants. The only differentiating factor will be the badging on the outside.
Initially, only petrol variants of the Tiago will get the automatic transmission, which is a 5-speed AMT. The 1.2-litre petrol engine for the Tiago boasts a max power output of 85 PS and a peak torque of 114 Nm. Like the 5-speed AMT in the Nano, the Tiago's unit also features a crawl function and 'Sport' mode. AMT gearboxes don't usually affect fuel economy as severely as other conventional automatics. We expect the upcoming Tata Tiago AMT to return a mileage of around 22 km/l (ARAI figure). This 5-speed AMT unit could find it way to diesel variants of the Tiago a few months.

Khabib Nurmagomedov Explains What Separates Him From Conor McGregor
Nasir Jabbar in UFC
Last updated 10:22 PM, Wednesday September 04 2019 GMT+1
Khabib Nurmagomedov believes him being a man of his word is what separates him from Conor McGregor, and he's also explained how fame and fortune has changed his UFC rival for the worst.
Nurmagomedov talked the talk and walked the walk as he defended his UFC lightweight title against McGregor last October, while the Irish star talked a big game but failed to deliver.
And the Russian phenom believes that is the main difference between himself and McGregor.
"I have a big, big fire inside and I want to be the best fighter in the world, not the best fighter from my country, but the best of seven billion people," he said about his appetite for the sport ahead of his anticipated UFC return.
"Everywhere I go a lot of people come and take pictures and talk, it's a bit of pressure. Most of the time I don't like it, I don't train to be really famous, I train for fights with the best fighters in the world."

Nurmagomedov submitted McGregor at UFC 229 then chaos ensued when a brawl broke out, but the 27-0 fighter has no regrets over the incident.
"I wouldn't change anything. What I did I did for a reason, I feel great and it was a great experience for me," he added.
"I told people October 6 was the day I was waiting for, it's not my style to talk, of course I told people my plan; I was going to make him tired, change his face, smash his face... and I did everything that I said.
"But everything he said... he did nothing, that's the big difference between us.
"For me I don't like this guy because he punches old people. Sometimes when you are hungry you are different, when you have money you are different and you have to control your emotions.
"He is a big star, how can you punch old people when you are one of the best fighters in the world? The guy could have died, if he had gone down he could have died.
"This shows how he has changed with money, most crazy things are because of money or fame."
This weekend in Abu Dhabi, Nurmagomedov returns to the famed Octagon for the first time since his victory over McGregor in Las Vegas.
He faces Dustin Poirier in a lightweight unification showdown at UFC 242.

Cross-section of human skin
Cross section of skin under the microscope
The dermis or corium is a layer of skin between the epidermis (with which it makes up the cutis) and subcutaneous tissues, that primarily consists of dense irregular connective tissue and cushions the body from stress and strain. It is divided into two layers, the superficial area adjacent to the epidermis called the papillary region and a deep thicker area known as the reticular dermis.[1] The dermis is tightly connected to the epidermis through a basement membrane. Structural components of the dermis are collagen, elastic fibers, and extrafibrillar matrix.[2] It also contains mechanoreceptors that provide the sense of touch and thermoreceptors that provide the sense of heat. In addition, hair follicles, sweat glands, sebaceous glands (oil glands), apocrine glands, lymphatic vessels, nerves and blood vessels are present in the dermis. Those blood vessels provide nourishment and waste removal for both dermal and epidermal cells.
2.1 Papillary dermis
2.2 Reticular dermis
2.3 Dermal papillae
The dermis is composed of three major types of cells:[3] fibroblasts, macrophages, and adipocytes.
Apart from these cells, the dermis is also composed of matrix components such as collagen (which provides strength), elastin (which provides elasticity), and extrafibrillar matrix, an extracellular gel-like substance primarily composed of glycosaminoglycans (most notably hyaluronan), proteoglycans, and glycoproteins.[3]
Illustration of dermal circulation and layers
Papillary dermis
The papillary dermis is the uppermost layer of the dermis. It intertwines with the rete ridges of the epidermis and is composed of fine and loosely arranged collagen fibers.[2]
The papillary region is composed of loose areolar connective tissue. This is named for its fingerlike projections called papillae, that extend toward the epidermis and contain either terminal networks of blood capillaries or tactile Meissner's corpuscles.[4]
Reticular dermis
The reticular dermis is the lower layer of the dermis, found under the papillary dermis, composed of dense irregular connective tissue featuring densely packed collagen fibers. It is the primary location of dermal elastic fibers.[2]
The reticular region is usually much thicker than the overlying papillary dermis. It receives its name from the dense concentration of collagenous, elastic, and reticular fibers that weave throughout it. These protein fibers give the dermis its properties of strength, extensibility, and elasticity. Within the reticular region are the roots of the hair, sebaceous glands, sweat glands, receptors, nails, and blood vessels. The orientation of collagen fibers within the reticular dermis creates lines of tension called Langer's lines, which are of some relevance in surgery and wound healing.[5]

d. Clear interior substance.
papillae dermis
The dermal papillae (DP) (singular papilla, diminutive of Latin papula, 'pimple') are small, nipple-like extensions (or interdigitations) of the dermis into the epidermis. At the surface of the skin in hands and feet, they appear as epidermal or papillary ridges (colloquially known as fingerprints).
Blood vessels in the dermal papillae nourish all hair follicles and bring nutrients and oxygen to the lower layers of epidermal cells. The pattern of ridges they produce in hands and feet are partly genetically determined features that develop before birth. They remain substantially unaltered (except in size) throughout life, and therefore determine the patterns of fingerprints, making them useful in certain functions of personal identification. [6]
The dermal papillae are part of the uppermost layer of the dermis, the papillary dermis, and the ridges they form greatly increase the surface area between the dermis and epidermis. Because the main function of the dermis is to support the epidermis, this greatly increases the exchange of oxygen, nutrients, and waste products between these two layers. Additionally, the increase in surface area prevents the dermal and epidermal layers from separating from each other by strengthening the junction between them. With age, the papillae tend to flatten and sometimes increase in number. [7]
Dermal papillae also play a pivotal role in hair formation, growth and cycling. [8]
In mucous membranes, the equivalent structures to dermal papillae are generally termed "connective tissue papillae", which interdigitate with the rete pegs of the superficial epithelium.

Learn why the NBA's best (and those hoping to be in the NBA) train with Ganon Baker!
Renowned basketball skills trainer Ganon Baker is back! Ganon's latest video is crammed with basketball knowledge that will improve your coaching in multiple ways. Through six practice drills, you will learn how you can develop the decision making of your basketball players to read and react to the constant action of a basketball game. As your players refine their skills and ability to see the floor, they will unlock new opportunities to create scoring opportunities.
In this video, you will gain insight on how to space off dribble penetration, improve your players' mid-range game, score through ball screens, blow past closeouts, deliver clean passes, play through consecutive actions on offense, and much more.
This drill is a staple in Ganon's training library that can be used as a warm-up and skill development drill.
Learn how to utilize four different shooting techniques to improve the versatility of your mid-range game. Ganon shows you a drill that forces players to think on the fly while perfecting their ability to shoot floaters from different spots on the floor. Additionally, you'll see three ways that you can protect the ball when driving through traffic.
Defenses can attack pick & rolls in a variety of ways. A great offensive player needs to be able to respond to anything their opponent throws at them. You will see strategies for attacking six of the most common defensive tactics used to stop ball screens. Not only must players be able to perform these moves, but they also have to execute them without hesitation in the chaos of a game. Ganon shows you the perfect practice drill for training these reactions.
Great offensive players can consistently beat their defender in closeout situations. Ganon demonstrates how to attack closeouts based on how the defender is playing. You will also see how you can break down your defender with the jab game to initiate your drive.
This multi-dimensional drill also teaches players how to score off four dribble hand-off techniques, and four "two foot" finishes your players can use to score at the rim.
Post players either become the player who clogs a teammate's drive or the recipient of an assist based on their ability to react and space off dribble penetration. This drill gives you six strategies you can use to space post players in response to middle or baseline drives. You'll also see four ways to deliver the ball to your teammate on baseline penetration and three strategies for passing the ball against tough ball pressure.
This practice drill demonstrates how to play with the middle pick & roll. Learn how to thread the needle through defenders to your rolling teammate with a perfect pocket pass. You will also see three different methods for making the pass to an open perimeter shooter off of ball screens.
More importantly than what you practice, the key to developing great players is how you practice. Ganon gives you a collection of coaching tips to get the most out of your team. You'll get ideas for building communication, delivering life lessons, developing leaders, instilling a competitive fire in your players, and more. Beyond just developing great players, you will see how your coaching can result in development of great people.
What sets this video apart from many of the other skill development videos you will see on the market is that Ganon Baker shows not only the skills needed to execute moves, but also the time and place to use each move. With installation of these workouts, your players will become better decision makers and basketball players!


Councilmember Krystal Marx sponsored and read a proclamation regarding human trafficking.
The Council unanimously adopted four resolutions that address negative the impacts of Burien's proximity to Sea-Tac International Airport.
Resolution 405. This procedural resolution made a minor revision to the rules for who can serve on the Burien Airport Committee. The Burien Airport Committee meets on the third Tuesday of the month at 6 p.m. at the Burien Community Center to discuss issues and provide guidance to the City Council on topics related to Sea-Tac Airport. The public is invited to attend these meetings.
Resolution 406. This resolution addresses growth and safety issues at Sea-Tac Airport as they affect human health, safety, economic development, and the wise expenditure of public resources. This resolution requests the Port of Seattle delay any build-out or launch of additional infrastructure at the Airport, and that the State Legislature recognize and immediately take action to identify and begin development of additional sites within western Washington.
Resolution 407. This resolution addresses noise pollution generated by Sea-Tac Airport. The resolution requests the elected leaders at the Port of Seattle, State Legislature, and U.S. Congress address noise pollution through programs and funding.
Resolution 408. This resolution requests the State Legislature establish and fund air quality monitoring and health impact assessment studies.
The City Attorney gave an update on progress being made on the development of tenant protection policies and programs. At least two community meetings will be scheduled for February to gather community feedback on the package of tenant protections being discussed by Council. Staff are also monitoring the Washington State Legislative session, where several bills are being introduced that may offer similar protections.
