I'll start live-blogging the second day of the draft in a separate thread at 9 a.m., but I was curious to see how catchers selected high in the draft had fared. I looked back 25 years and discovered that in a quarter of a century, Zunino is just the 13th catcher picked in the top 10, and the 11th picked in the top five.
The only catcher selected No. 1, Joe Mauer in 2001, was the biggest success story. Mauer is a three-time batting champion, a four-time All-Star, and a bonafide superstar, though recent injuries have slowed him down a bit. Now he's mixing in some time at first base, but he's still predominantly a catcher.
Two catchers were taken second in that span, and both fall in the "bust" category — Ben Davis by the Padres in 1995, and Tyler Houston by the Braves in 1989. Davis did play seven years in the majors, including two with the Mariners. But a switch-hitter and physical specimen, Davis was expected to be a perennial All-Star, and he wasn't anything close to that. In fact, he eventually switched to pitching and tried to make a go of that in the minors, with little success. Houston fared about the same, playing eight years for six teams, mostly as a backup. His best year was 2000, when he hit 18 homers for the Brewers.
With the third pick, we have Mike Lieberthal of the Phillies in 1990. He had a fine career, making two All-Star teams and playing 14 years, all but the last with the Phillies. That's a hit. Then there were two misses: Eric Munson of the Tigers in 1999, who played parts of nine seasons in the majors, but mostly as a backup, and Jeff Clement, whose career arc is very familiar to Mariners fans and doesn't need to be re-hashed here. He's now 26 and a first baseman in Triple-A with the Pirates, trying to make it back to the big leagues.
Tony Sanchez, taken fourth by the Pirates in 2009, has advanced to Double-A in his fourth season. He hit over .300 in each of his first two years, so there's still hope for a breakthrough. There have been two success stories with the No. 5 pick — Buster Posey, who has come back nicely from his devastating ankle (not knee) injury, and Matt Wieters, who is developing into one of the American League's better catchers.
Kyle Skipworth, taken sixth by the Marlins in 2008, is still at Double-A with a .220 career average, so there's not a lot of promise there any more. Jason Castro, selected 10th out of Stanford by the Astros the same year, is now Houston's starating catcher at age 25 and is hitting .243 with a homer and 14 RBIs.
The final top 10 catcher of the past 25 years was Charles Johnson, taken 10th by the Expos in 1989. Johnson had a long, successful career, but not with the Expos. He didn't sign, went to the University of Miami, and signed with the Marlins, who drafted him 28th overall in 1992.
Summing up, there are some great examples of catchers picked high who became stars, and some troubling examples of catchers picked high who flamed out. That's not unlike any other position, so my conclusion is that there is no extra risk in taking a catcher so high.
What did you think of the Mariners' selection of Mike Zunino?


Well, she's gone and done it again. Lyda Hill just pledged $50 million to the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center's Moon Shots Program.
triple-negative breast and high-grade serous ovarian cancers.
the breast/ovarian cancer team's integrated program to screen patients for BRCA1 and BRCA2 genetic mutations and to prescribe new personalized therapies.
The Moon Shots Program will cost $3 billion in the first 10 years.
Santa Claus had better watch out. Lyda is giving him a run for his money when it comes to being the #1 gift giver.
Thank you so much, Lyda. Bringing science to the heart of hope; bringing hope to the hearts of patients at MD Anderson!

How Congress responded to Trump's request to investigate the Obama administration
Posted: Mar 5, 2017 5:26 PM EST | Updated: Mar 5, 2017 5:49 PM EST
By Jeremy Diamond, Kevin Bohn and Eric Bradner CNN
WEST PALM BEACH, Florida (CNN) -- Democrats sharply criticized President Donald Trump's calls on lawmakers Sunday to investigate his baseless claim that former President Barack Obama tapped his phone.
Republicans, meanwhile, urged Trump to let the House and Senate intelligence committees do their jobs.
Both parties made clear that Trump's allegation -- which the White House has not offered any evidence to support, and which Obama administration officials emphatically deny -- won't be dropped anytime soon, as even GOP lawmakers who have backed Trump said they'd investigate.
Rep. Devin Nunes of California, the Republican chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said his committee would look into whether the federal government was conducting wiretapping of campaign officials as part of the panel's investigation into Russian meddling in the US election.
"One of the focus points of the House Intelligence Committee's investigation is the U.S. government's response to actions taken by Russian intelligence agents during the presidential campaign," Nunes said in a statement Sunday. "As such, the Committee will make inquiries into whether the government was conducting surveillance activities on any political party's campaign officials or surrogates, and we will continue to investigate this issue if the evidence warrants it."
Democrats, meanwhile, accused Trump of advancing yet another unfounded conspiracy in an effort to distract from the issues dogging his administration in its early weeks.
"You make up something and then you have the press write about it, and then you say, 'everybody's writing about this charge,'" House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi said on CNN's "State of the Union." "It's a tool of an authoritarian, to just have you always be talking about what you want to be talking about."
Their comments come after Trump's aides asked Congress to look into whether the Obama administration abused its investigative powers during the 2016 election.
"Reports concerning potentially politically motivated investigations immediately ahead of the 2016 election are very troubling," White House press secretary Sean Spicer said in the statement, which he also posted on Twitter. "President Donald J. Trump is requesting that as part of their investigation into Russian activity, the congressional intelligence committees exercise their oversight authority to determine whether executive branch investigative powers were abused in 2016.
"Neither the White House nor the President will comment further until such oversight is conducted," Spicer added. He did not provide any further details on the President's request to Congress.
While Spicer said "reports" prompted the call for a congressional investigation, the White House still has not provided any evidence to back up the President's accusations. There are no publicly known credible reports to back up Trump's claim that Obama ordered Trump's phones be monitored.
Instead, multiple former senior US officials have dismissed Trump's allegations, calling them "nonsense" and "false." Obama, through a spokesman, also rejected the claim that he ordered Trump's phones tapped.
Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, a career intelligence official who had oversight of the US intelligence community in that role, said Sunday that Trump was not wiretapped by intelligence agencies nor did the FBI obtain a court order through the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act to monitor Trump's phones.
"For the part of the national security apparatus that I oversaw as DNI, there was no wiretap activity mounted against the President-elect at the time, or as a candidate, or against his campaign," Clapper said Sunday morning on NBC's "Meet the Press."
Members of the intelligence committees
House Intelligence Committee ranking member Adam Schiff called Trump's claims as "destructive as it was baseless," but tied the President's call to the California Republican's criticism of FBI Director James Comey for not being forthcoming about any investigation of ties between Russia and the Trump administration.
"If the administration truly believes that President Obama illegally eavesdropped on the Trump campaign and wants our committee to investigate the matter, they should join my call on Director Comey to answer any question put to him that is pertinent to the Russia investigation," Schiff said in a statement.
The chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Republican Richard Burr of North Carolina, said his panel would follow the evidence trail in its investigation of Russian intelligence activities.
"As I've said since the beginning and have repeated since, the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence will follow the evidence where it leads, and we will continue to be guided by the intelligence and facts as we compile our findings," Burr said.
Rep. Jim Himes, a Democrat from Connecticut who sits on the House Intelligence Committee, tweeted at Spicer that he looks forward "to seeing your evidence," calling the allegations a "mess."
Himes also mocked Trump's claim in a tweet Sunday.
"BREAKING: HIMES ADMITS TO TAPPING. 'I know this will end up being sticky, but yes, I did the tapping' #maplenotwire" he tweeted with a picture of him tapping a tree for syrup.
Sen. Marco Rubio, a Republican who sits on the Senate Intelligence Committee, said Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union" that he's "not sure what it is (Trump) is talking about," but added it's possible that "perhaps the President has information that is not yet available to us or to the public."
Rubio pointed out that the Senate Intelligence Committee is already in the process of reviewing Russia's meddling in the US elections last year and will eventually issue a public report.
"But what I think we should do is, everybody needs to take a deep breath and calm down here," the Florida Republican told CNN's Jake Tapper. "And let's go through this as what we are doing. In the Senate Intelligence Committee, we are working in a bipartisan way to collect facts that involve reviewing classified and sometimes unclassified and open-source information."
Sen. Susan Collins, also a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said Sunday morning that she has "seen no evidence" to back up Trump's wiretapping allegation and called on the White House to turn over any evidence to the committee.
"What we need to deal with is evidence, not statements," the Maine Republican said on CBS' "Face the Nation."
Democratic leaders
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said he believes Trump is "in trouble" whether there was a court order authorizing surveillance of his phones or "if he falsely spread this kind of misinformation."
"If he falsely spread this kind of misinformation, that is so wrong. It's beneath the dignity of the presidency. It is something that really hurts people's view of government," the New York Democrat said Sunday on "Meet the Press." "On the other hand, if it's true, it's even worse for the President. Because that means that a federal judge, independently elected, has found probable cause that the president, or people on his staff, have probable cause to have broken the law or to have interacted with a foreign agent. Now that's serious stuff."
Schumer said he had no problem with the congressional intelligence committees including Trump's request in their investigation into Russian activity in the 2016 election, but he also used the call as an opportunity to reiterate Democrats' calls for a special prosecutor to investigate connections between the Trump campaign and Russian officials.

9. It would be a shocking move.
8. He's already endorsed raising taxes on the rich, so why not endorse a new tax too?
7. It would allow cutting the corporate income tax, which he favors.
6. He's not in the fossil fuel industry anyway.
5. The GOP establishment would be aghast.
4. He could mock the other Republican candidates for disagreeing.
3. He could mock Fox News for disagreeing.
2. He could mock Megyn Kelly for disagreeing.
1. It would leave the media wondering, yet again, what the hell is going on.
Honestly, this is a no-brainer. I'm surprised he hasn't done it already.

US prepares sanctions for Hizballah's Lebanese allies
Aug 13, 2020 @ 8:01 Aug 22, 2020 @ 10:41 Diane Shalem 2964 Views Hassan Nasrallah, US sanctions Lebanon
The Trump administration plans to step into the turbulence in Lebanon to loosen Hizballah's grip on Beirut by anti-corruption sanctions for its allies, US sources reveal. Since the Diyab government resigned under mounting popular fury in the aftermath of deadly explosions at Beirut port, a power struggle is evolving to fill the gap. Washington sees its chance to strip Iran's surrogate of the allies and power which made Hizballah the military and political boss of Lebanon for the past decade.
The disastrous blasts killed at least 160, injured some 6,000 and wrecked Beirut port and city, leaving more than 300,000 homeless. The calamity struck a nation in the throes of economic meltdown and street riots against a corrupt government whose negligence left 2,750 tons of volatile ammonium nitrate at Beirut port to blow up and destroy their capital. Last Friday, Hizballah's once all-powerful Hassan Nasrallah went on the air to pathetically deny his organization kept "arms, ammunition or anything in the port." His close sidekick President Michel Aoun followed with a suggestion of "possible external interference through a rocket or bomb or other act."
Neither protestation convinced the angry and grieving Lebanese citizens. It was obvious that their resistance to an international probe of the port explosions came from fear of exposure.
Michel Aoun, who holds the presidency as a representative of the Christian community, is a prominent candidate for a US blacklist. So is his son-in-law Gebran Bassil, a former foreign minister, as well as a long line of businessmen and political figures, who are known to have used public office to feather their nests while also, in recent years, providing Hizballah with cover for its emergence as Tehran's powerful influence broker in Beirut. As spearhead of Iran's aggression in the region and owner of a massive arsenal of missiles, Hizballah's forces in Syria have sought to control areas abutting Israel's northern border. Israel has been accused of repeatedly attacking those forces to throw them back.
Their disgrace adds fuel to the Trump administration's "maximum pressure" on Iran and its cohorts and provides the leverage for isolating Iran's cohorts. US sanctions against Hizballah's friends will send a message to Lebanon that the massive influx of international aid for building Beirut anew will not be forthcoming if Hizballah steps back into its former potent role in the regime. Washington is still drawing up a blacklist of individuals whose assets would be frozen. International organizations, in which the US is the primary shareholder, would also deny Lebanon a bailout so long as Hizballah is in the driving seat. Before the explosions, Lebanon was already slipping fast into the status of a failed state, its currency nearly worthless and the prices of essentials, including bread, rising outside the reach of many Lebanese citizens. They will no longer put up with the old regime and its corrupt ways.

How is Dubai's strategic location serving start-ups?
Start me up
By Evan Bourke & Sarah Hedley Hymers • Updated: 08/12/2021
Squat Wolf founders consult with their designer - Copyright Euronews
Location is critical to the success of a start-up; it dictates the staffing pool, the cost of premises, as well as local taxes and government incentives, including business support and funding. A solid infrastructure with good transport links is also key to succeeding in business.
Global start-up research centre StartupBlink publishes the annual Startup Ecosystem Rankings Index. The index ranks 1,000 cities and 100 countries worldwide, tracking both momentum and trends within the start-up ecosystem. In 2021, the top 10 countries are the United States, the United Kingdom, Israel, Canada, Germany, Sweden, China, Switzerland, Australia and Singapore.
The report also states that the UAE is now a top 25 global country and had one of the most impressive rank increases this year, jumping by 18 spots to rank 25th. Offering both airports and seaports, Dubai's infrastructure and location between east and west make it a strategically sound base for import and export.
Squat Wolf co-founders Wajdan Gul, CEO, and Anam Khalid, CPOEuronews
In October, Dubai International Airport was ranked as the world's busiest, and Jebel Ali, Dubai's biggest shipping port, boasts the world's biggest manmade harbour, three terminals and one million square metres of container yard. Established in 1979, it's connected to more than 150 ports across the globe today, making it one of the top 10 most important ports for business.
Exports from Dubai can reach two-thirds of the world population in eight hours
Squat Wolf co-founders Wajdan Gul, CEO, and Anam Khalid, CPO, chose to start their business and establish headquarters in Dubai because of the emirate's dynamic location.
The two corporate professionals shared a passion for fitness and fashion. Their shared frustrations over not being able to find high-quality gym attire that looked good led them to launch their own business. With the motto "Good things come to those who sweat", Squat Wolf was born. With the logistical capabilities of Dubai, the brand has spread beyond the UAE as far as America and Australia.
"We're shipping into the GCC, to the UAE, Saudi, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain – these are our big markets," says Wajdan Gul, "but 55% of our business is now coming from outside of the GCC. The US is our biggest market outside of the GCC, then the UK, Europe, Canada and Australia."
From clothes and medicine to processed food, between 80% and 90% of the world's consumer goods are carried by ship
Shipping freight rates surged during the pandemic. Price hikes and container shortages remain an issue, but Squat Wolf has been able to continue shipping in and out of Dubai.

"For some business, it's impossible to get [container] space right now," says Wajdan. "If you want to move your items from your manufacturing hub, you have to pay four times or five times more in some places, but Dubai offers a unique location. It's at the centre of the world. There are a lot more connecting ships and connecting flights going out of and into Dubai, so we're always able to get more flights, and we're always able to get more ships to bring in our products."
Shipping isn't the only challenge faced by start-ups. Finding the right employees aligned with the brand vision who are prepared to go the extra mile was also tricky for the Squat Wolf founders.
"There are so many challenges for a start-up. In a more established [business], everyone has their job description. In a start-up, it's not that clear because you're growing at the same time," says Squat Wolf's Anam Khalid. "We have a saying in our office that we are making the plane while flying it. It's not easy, and you really have to employ the right kind of people."
Having secured the talent to propel the brand, Anam and Wajdan are now focused on future growth and international marketing.
"We're going after our top 10 markets and growing those markets," says Anam. "They're huge, so we can definitely expand them more. We're going one by one, sometimes focusing on influencer marketing in one specific market, and other times using digital advertising, trying different things. That's how we experiment and keep growing."

The First World War and its impact on Freemasonry - Diane Clements
Fraught with fate
Diane Clements, Director of the Library and Museum of Freemasonry, considers the impact of the outbreak of World War I on the Craft in England
Britain entered World War I on 4 August 1914. When the Grand Lodge held its regular Quarterly Communications less than a month later on 2 September, French and British armies had delayed the German advance in the south of Belgium, but their success at the first Battle of the Marne was still uncertain. Alfred Robbins, the President of the Board of General Purposes, later described the atmosphere at that meeting as being fraught with fate. 'Not only for the British Empire and her Allies, but for all that English masons held dear,' he wrote. 'Darkness was descending on many a soul.'
Disrupted meetings
Calls for lodges to stop meeting were dismissed by the Grand Lodge, but two of them with the closest German links, Pilgrim Lodge, No. 238, and Deutschland Lodge, No. 3315, both ceased to meet for the duration of the war. Members of both lodges had been faced with the provisions of wartime legislation that had given 'enemy aliens' a matter of days to leave the country and forced all those remaining to register with the police. The activities of other lodges were disrupted as members, including the Pro Grand Master, Lord Ampthill, went to fight or became involved in the conflict.
By mid-September 1914, Lord Charles Beresford Lodge, No. 2404, based in Chatham in Kent, had all its two hundred and fifty members serving while forty-three of the forty-five members of Alma Lodge, No. 3534, in Hounslow, whose members were drawn from the Royal Fusiliers, rejoined for war service. The lodge meeting scheduled for September 1914 didn't take place and the lodge members weren't to meet again until 1918.
Other lodges were forced to move out of their meeting places as buildings across the country were requisitioned. Several London lodges were forced to move from De Keyser's Royal Hotel on the Victoria Embankment when it was requisitioned for the Military Aeronautics Directorate. The Lodge of Faith and Unanimity, No. 417, in Dorchester gave its hall to the Dorset County Hospital for use by wounded soldiers and met elsewhere. In May 1915, the lodge protested at their premises being used for 'contagious and infectious diseases, or for enemy aliens' and held the hospital accountable for 'disinfecting, re-decorating, and rendering the lodge', but it was able to return to its hall in January 1918.
An estimated 200,000 refugees arrived in Britain from Belgium, displaced by the war. The Grand Lodge made an immediate initial donation of £1,000, the equivalent of more than £40,000 today, to the Belgian Relief Fund. The returning refugees were dispersed across the country. Some were sent to Nottingham where they were housed in Chaucer Street properties that had been purchased shortly before the war for the site of a new masonic hall. Funds were regularly raised for them at Provincial meetings until they were repatriated in 1919.
A £1,000 donation was made to the British Red Cross Society, where Sir Arthur Stanley, Provincial Grand Master of Lancashire, Western Division, was chairman of the executive committee.
A ladies committee is born
With many businesses closing down or reducing their activity at the outbreak of war, there were fewer employment opportunities for single women as servants and secretaries. When the Queen's Work for Women Fund was established, the Grand Lodge requested that the wife of the Pro Grand Master, Lady Ampthill, form a Ladies Committee to raise contributions for the Fund from the wives and daughters of Freemasons. An impressive £2,001 was raised. This was presented to Queen Mary in March 1915, with the funds divided between several bodies providing training and support for women.
Women soon began to replace men in clerical and manufacturing roles as the war continued, especially after the introduction of conscription in 1916, and the need for the Fund was much reduced.
Many organisations and communities established Rolls of Honour in the early months of the war. These were originally intended to record the names of those who had volunteered, but they also quickly became a record of casualties. The idea of a Masonic Roll of Honour was first considered by the Grand Lodge at its meeting in December 1914, its second meeting after the outbreak of war.
Documents sent by the Grand Lodge to lodge secretaries asked for the name, military rank and masonic rank of brethren known to have died. The first list appeared in the 1916 Masonic Year Book – it was thirty pages long with five hundred names.
The Library and Museum has a new, free temporary exhibition called English Freemasonry and the First World War, which opens on Monday, 15 September 2014 and runs until Friday, 15 May 2015. A richly illustrated book to coincide with the exhibition has been published and is available from Letchworth's Shop at Freemasons' Hall, priced £15.

30 Year Olds Share Their Biggest Regrets over Their 20s
Life comes at you fast, and it's best to make the most of the time you have. If you're in your 20s, pay attention closely to what the wise 30-year olds have to say. If you're in your 30s, then who cares, you haven't even hit middl age yet. If you're older than that, you probably think all this is stupid. On a slightly lighter note, here's some funny things people regret that they said.
After a Long and Fruitful Life, the Mars Rover "Opportunity" Is Dead
Science writer Jacob Margolis chronicled the end for the proud little rover. The last thing they heard from the rover was "My battery is low and it's getting dark." That is some Hollywood level drama, man. Well, it did a great job anyway, and lasted for waaaaaaay longer than we expected. Good rover.

Opportunity Has Driven 25 Miles on Mars Breaking the Rover Distance Record!
Via Science Daily
"Opportunity has driven farther than any other wheeled vehicle on another world," said Mars Exploration Rover Project Manager John Callas, of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. "This is so remarkable considering Opportunity was intended to drive about one kilometer and was never designed for distance. But what is really important is not how many miles the rover has racked up, but how much exploration and discovery we have accomplished over that distance."
A drive of 157 feet (48 meters) on July 27 put Opportunity's total odometry at 25.01 miles (40.25 kilometers). This month's driving brought the rover southward along the western rim of Endeavour Crater. The rover had driven more than 20 miles (32 kilometers) before arriving at Endeavour Crater in 2011, where it has examined outcrops on the crater's rim containing clay and sulfate-bearing minerals. The sites are yielding evidence of ancient environments with less acidic water than those examined at Opportunity's landing site.

During the hearing of a case filed against her scheduled last June 11, Ellen Adarna failed to show up and instead had her legal counsel along with boyfriend John Lloyd Cruz attend the preliminary investigation hearing on her behalf. This was regarding the child abuse and cyber crime case filed against her in Pasig City by Myra Abo Santos, the mother of the 17-year-old tagged and accused by the actress as paparazzi on social media last May.
In the rescheduled hearing last June 25, the actress failed to appear once again and according to tweets by TV Patrol reporter MJ Felipe, the mother of the minor was disappointed by the non-appearance and believed it was a delaying tactic on the part of Ellen's camp for her to skip the hearings.
Ellen is rumored to be in her ninth month of pregnancy and is expected to give birth any time now.

Home/Jurisdictions/Metropolitan Tikhon welcomes OCMC representatives to OCA Chancery
Metropolitan Tikhon with Protonica Michelle Jannakos and Fr. Martin Ritsi.
His Beatitude, Metropolitan Tikhon hosted representatives of the Orthodox Christian Mission Center [OCMC] at the Chancery of the Orthodox Church in America here on Friday, October 20, 2017.
Meeting with Metropolitan Tikhon were Father Martin Ritsi, OCMC Executive Director, and Protonica Michelle Jannakos, Development Officer.
Father Martin briefed Metropolitan Tikhon on the current work of OCMC and shared some its new initiatives, especially in the Center's initiation of missions to Post-Christian societies, as planned for Scandinavia. Of particular interest was the work OCMC does in the OCA Diocese of Mexico, where OCMC has been working with His Eminence, Archbishop Alejo for the past four years to provide catechism, youth ministry programs and spiritual education to native populations in the Diocese. Metropolitan Tikhon discussed with Father Martin a number of ideas for expanding outreach efforts to the Diocese of Mexico. Also discussed was a projected visit of Metropolitan Tikhon to OCMC's headquarters in Saint Augustine, FL, in order to experience first hand the important training work that happens before mission teams are sent into the field.
As the official missions agency of the Assembly of Canonical Orthodox Bishops of the United States, it is OCMC's mission to make disciples of all nations by bringing people to Christ and His Church. OCMC currently has 18 long-term missionaries working in eight countries.
Those interested in getting involved in OCMC's work and ministries will find a wealth of information on-line.

Do you gossip at work?
By Kartik Kompella
Last updated on: August 31, 2018 08:45 IST
Workplace ethics are about treating others the way one would want to be treated, says Kartik Kompella.
In the course of my 25 years in the workplace, I've seen examples of extraordinary ethics and some pretty ordinary ones too.
Having worked in both start-ups and large established firms, I can confidently say that the size of the organisation has nothing to do with workplace ethics.
Management tolerance, however, plays a big role. Scientifically, slime needs a conducive climate to flourish.
Here are some of the workplace ethics one should never violate:
Photograph: Courtesy Creative Commons
Taking credit for another's idea
This happens far more often than one thinks.
It's a serious breach of ethics that has a devastatingly demoralising effect on the person who originally thought of the idea.
One minute, you are quivering in anticipation of the applause for sharing a brilliant idea with your boss in a team meeting.
The next minute, you experience the unpleasant sensation akin to grabbing an angry jelly fish as you watch your colleague beat you to the punch and present your idea as his/hers.
Such incidents split teams into a group of suspicious individuals, each out to protect their own interests.
*IMAGE: Gossip is an integral weapon wielded in Mean Girls.
Gossiping about others
Another insidious practice is the habit of talking about people behind their backs.
Rarely is positive information circulated; if it were, one wouldn't be whispering cross-eyed behind the subject's back.
Often, the news is false or rife with inaccuracies that go unverified due to surreptitious nature of the communication.
One realises just how unhealthy gossip is only after one has been laid low by a bout of gossip oneself.
There's nothing like a gossiping organisation to make one feel reluctant to talk about one's work or life.
Hoo-ya! Count that as body blow to team spirit.
IMAGE: In Hidden Figures, three African-American womem battle racism at NASA, even as they help launch an astronaut into space.
Disparaging, sexist or racist comments
It's a fact that people come in all shapes, sizes, interests, skin colour, competencies, orientations, etc.
The world would be a far more boring place if there was only one mould with which we are all made.
Differences however lead to biases.
Human beings have biases and unfortunately many have an inexplicable desire to share these biases with the world.
To err is indeed human however there's nothing forgivable about people who make disparaging, sexist and racist comments about anyone, leave alone one's colleagues.
These comments lead to confrontation, lapse into bullying and formation of cliques, leaving the victims with reduced self-esteem.
There's no upside to this cretin-like behaviour, only cavernous downsides.
Treating office like home
Some employees have a strong sense of homeliness when it comes to the workplace.
They lie to their boss as though they are escaping a probing parent, they 'borrow' office stationery for use in their 'home office' and slip in the occasional inflated dinner voucher as though the company is owned by a benevolent parent.
'I spend a lot of time doing uncompensated overtime' does not justify such petty dishonesty. Such behaviour, 'innocent' as it may seem, is actually harmful for two reasons.
Firstly, this petty stuff is individually small but when practised regularly by a large set of employees starts to erode the company's wealth. That's right, it converts into lower profits for increments.
Secondly, dishonest people know that they are doing wrong and have lower self-esteem than those who are honest.
Lower self-esteem doesn't just hurt the employee but also the organisation as it shows up in their performance too.
Giving or accepting gifts
For some employees in a position of power, Christmas is all around them and they let the feeling show.
Wanting gifts for favours to be done is corruption and, yes, it's the principle not the size that matters.
Expecting a gift as a matter of one's position is tantamount to asking for a bribe, just as giving a gift to ensure a favourable decision is bribery.
Such acts reflect poorly both on the persons giving and receiving the gifts. It underscores the former's inability to challenge a corrupt practice and the latter's nefarious misuse of power.
Giving gifts for business indicates that the company lacks scruples and will do anything to get what they want.
It also demonstrates a lack of belief in the quality of its products and its ability to be bought without inducements.
Taking gifts to award favourable decisions speaks poorly of the company's quality control and demonstrates that the company does not believe in merit.
Workplace ethics are not special rules that people need to live their lives by.
They are about treating others the way one would want to be treated.
No one looks forward to have their ideas stolen, being mocked, have scurrilous or even unpleasant truths told behind their backs and so on.
If one doesn't have an appetite for it, they shouldn't dish it out to others either.

" For me the goddess is the female of God, She is powerful if different."
Tina Turner is a singer, dancer, actress and author, often referred to as "The Queen of Rock 'n' Roll", with career that has started in the mid-50s with Ike Turner, and spanned over half a century, recognizing her as one of the world's best-selling music artists of all time.
She was born on Sunday November 26th 1939, in Nutbush, Tennessee, United States.
During January 21st 2020, Tina Turner's momentum slows. She faces disappointment in her career, mixed with emotional turmoil.
Tina is moody today, coupled with lack of drive and persistence.
For Turner, today is a good day for hugging and kissing, and focusing on people rather than on material things.
Just as Tina Turner evolves through a nine-year cycle and experiences the nine-month cycle, she is also subjected to nine-day cycles, even though their impact is subtle compared to the Personal Year and even Personal Month cycles. The Personal Day cycles proceed according to the same pattern - 1 through 9 - that the Personal Year and Personal Month cycles do. The numbers within the daily cycles have a similar impact on Tina to the yearly and monthly cycles - though less pronounced.
Read more about our numerological daily forecast for Tina Turner . . .
Also, while studying the color and flavor of the day, it is a good practice to keep in mind the greater meaning of January and the master plan of 2020 in Tina's life.

Biorhythm Chart for Wednesday January 22nd 2020
Publish Tina Turner's daily Biorhythm on your blog or web page
To publish Tina's biorhythm chart on your own blog or web page so it is calculated each day, just copy and paste the HTML code below. You can also create your own chart very easily.
Physical: The blue line displays Turner's physical self during a 23-day cycle, starting at her date of birth. The physical self measurement is an indicator of her energy levels in terms of coordination, strength, and general well-being. If the blue line is at the top of the chart she is in a physically energized portion of her cycle. If the blue line is at or near the bottom of the chart Tina is in a low point in her physical cycle. High points are an excellent time to take on physically challenging ventures. Low points indicate she may be physically spent and may need to take it easy for a while.
Emotional: The red line represents Tina Turner's emotional self during a 28-day cycle, in terms of creativity, sensitivity, mood, perception, and awareness. When the red line is near the top of the chart Tina is feeling emotionally strong. Her outlook on life tends to be at its best and her interactions with others are most successful. Low points on Turner's emotional line indicate times when she may need to retreat somewhat. Tina Turner is more likely to be depressed during these times. High points indicate times when she will enjoy the company of others and find expressing her feelings the easiest.
Intellectual (mental): The green line tracks Tina's intellectual self over a 33-day cycle, in terms of alertness, analytical functioning, logical analysis skills, memory or recall abilities, and communication. When the green line is near the top of the chart Turner's mental faculties are at their sharpest. This is the time for her to seek solutions requiring logic and analysis. Conversely, at those times when the green line is near the bottom of the chart Tina Turner's intellectual capabilities are at their lowest. Tina might find it prudent to delay work requiring serious thought until she reaches a higher position in her cycle.

A pleasant-looking, well-educated East Asian man stands in the center of New York's Grand Central Station. He wears a suit. He's clean-shaven and professional in appearance. His body is wired to explode.
This is the distressingly plausible central image of ''The War Within," a slick shot-on-video drama about a Pakistani suicide bomber (co-writer Ayad Akhtar) suffering a crisis of conscience as he lies low in New Jersey. Some have suggested that a movie seeking to understand, if not sympathize, with the terrorist mind is better off unmade and unseen. I beg to differ. As dramatically naive as it gets, Joseph Castelo's film shows varying sides of the New York immigrant experience and poses the crucial question facing any religious fundamentalist: Do you live for the afterlife or for this life? There are no doubts about where the film stands.
The strongest parts of ''The War Within" deal with the warm Pakistani family by which Hassan finds himself embraced when he arrives in Jersey City. Sayeed (Firdus Bamji), a doctor, thinks his childhood friend has come from Canada for an engineering job interview. Sayeed's wife Farhida (Sarita Choudhury) and their young son Ali (Varun Sriram) happily make room in their lives, while Sayeed's vibrant, Americanized sister Duri (Nandana Sen) dumps her Anglo boyfriend (Mike McGlone) and waits for Hassan to make a move.
In fact, the formerly apolitical student has been radicalized by his torture by shadowy Pakistani police forces and by the death of his brother in a protest rally. Hassan is no longer ''the kid who was crazy about Duran Duran" but a somber fundamentalist working as part of a terrorist cell led by fellow prisoner Khalid (Charles Daniel Sandoval).
When their plan to blow up the bridges and tunnels of New York is foiled, Hassan is ordered to blend in. He takes a job driving cabs for Sayeed's friend (John Ventimiglia, Artie Bucco of ''The Sopranos"). He starts to see the human face of his enemy. Then the call to action comes.
''The War Within" is hampered by a mopey leading man -- there are too many shots of Hassan staring across the Hudson in turmoil -- and by its shortcuts across a fiendishly complex topic. The idea that terrorists are made from the victims of state reprisals is glib; the script doesn't provide motivations for the other terrorists, nor does it convincingly explain Hassan's transformation in the missing three years between his torture and arrival in New York.
On the other hand, the portrayal of the Pakistani immigrant community and its uneasy place in American society is given nuance by Bamji's smart, affable performance. Hassan wants to spend more time with Sayeed and his family, and so do we. Increasingly uncertain duty calls, though, and the details the film provides of how a lonely true believer might try to wreak havoc on thousands of strangers are horrifyingly believable. ''The War Within" avoids easy fear-mongering. That's why it's scary as hell.


A - Pour produces a one inch head of dull brown foam. It looks rocky from the top, but very loose from the sides. Decent retention. Body is black with no light allowed through, but this didn't really look viscous.
S - Roasty nose to start, which quickly becomes combined with coffee. Maybe a touch of chocolate, then bourbon barrel aromas take over. Oak and vanilla, with a big whiff of bourbon.
T - Starts off a bit roasty. Light day old coffee comes along, but doesn't really stay long. There are flavors of the barrel aging, with much lighter than expected bourbon, oak, and super-light vanilla. Big time copper coin metallic flavor. Not really sour and funky as odeed described, but that copper coin flavor is way too big for my taste.
M - Medium bodied, this does seem thin for the style. Carbonation is somehow a bit prickly.
Overall - It's not bad beer, but it just doesn't bring as robust flavors as I was hoping for. The metallic twang becomes distracting as well. Not on par with the other excellent brews I have had from Alpine.
black body with not much head.aroma is oak,vanilla,dark fruit,coffee,bourbon and chocolate.although the blend of oak and dark fruit gives it a strange almost "rotten fruit" aroma.the flavor is slightly sour/funky with some of the characteristics i grabbed in the aroma.i cant tell if its infected,or just a strange combination,but its not really my thing.
Just picked up a bomber of this at South Bay Drugs and Liquor. Had been looking forward to trying this since I first saw the barrels in the brewery back in April.
Poured into my Alpine Ale pint glass. Pours the color of ink, complete darkness and a somewhat fizzy, rapidly descending, two inches of mocha colored foam.
Huge barrel and wood presence with notes of vanilla, tons of dark fruits, black cherries and apricot pits. As the foam falls down to a ring the chocolate malts and coffee notes strengthen. It has a nice mocha aroma along with some cocoa, toast, and somewhat of a rye and whiskey finish. Wow, let this one sit in the glass for a few moments and it begins to shine. Dry wood, milk chocolate, roasted barley, and malted milk. I think the barrel is a tad too aggressive though, there are just some noticeable bitter tannins in there from the barrels. Hints of smoke and tobacco. Ha ha ha, there's an aroma there that just reminds me of how old people smell…crusty, stale bread. Grain and cereal too. As the beer warms up it reveals some brown sugar, maple syrup, and caramel.
Tastes of roasted barley, bitter chocolate, grains, cereal, oak, cocoa, and dry fruits. Again I get the apricot pit flavor, black cherries, and plums. More coffee flavor on the second sip but it seems a little too mellow. I don't know, something just seems missing. A tad ashen but not much. Notes of tobacco, toast, and more fruit in the finish. A bit of alcohol in the finish but for a 10% beer I think it's pretty well hidden. Some tangy wheat or rye-like flavor in the back of the tongue and well into the aftertaste. Hardly any mid-palate to speak of. There are the initial flavors of roastiness and oak and hardly anything in the middle and then a long finish and aftertaste of cocoa, bitter chocolate, coffee, dark fruits, tangy wheat/rye, and lots of oak. A little grape flavor, long in the aftertaste.
Feels rather thin on the palate, good carbonation but some meaty body is lacking. Dry, oaky finish. Lively carbonation fortunately picks up the mouthfeel toward the finish but the body is still lighter than what I hoped for.
Not a bad beer. I just don't think the barrel aging came out as good as it could have.

The Intrepid Nacelle issue has been an issue for YEARS.
So I'm kinda in "I'll believe it when I see it" mode on that one.
Maybe they should've also fixed the clipping issue with the text on the side of the Risian Corvette.
I'm gonna pull my Dread out of the spacedock for a while just to play with that. Thank you to whoever decided to bring this little thing to life. It's the little things that count.
Centaur skin for the T6 Walker?! Did I miss something?
Is the project to turn in 9th Anniversary tokens returning? I still have some leftovers.
I'm interested in using the new Centaur skin, i hope is a stealth fix..
I just logged in. My character was running "Blind men tell tall tales" and I got a message that the mission was restarted because it was out of date. However, there's nothing in the patch note about changes to any mission at all.
Probably the game version, but I'm just guessing.
Has to be a lot more that that. She's running like 10 missions, and that one was the only one resetted.
Working for the Advanced Light Cruiser now in my case where it wasn't before.
No, you didn't miss anything. I just missed my Raktajino before posting. And now the edit button has gone missing. I should have said Reliant-class advanced light cruiser.

Q: How to get the average number of data points? Here is my data file :

12100 4592
14400 5000
16900 6443
12100 4479
14400 5393
16900 5969
12100 4605
14400 5353
16900 6268

I would like to have the average of 3 tests and draw a line. For example, I want to draw these 3 points with gnuplot:

12100 4558,66
14400 5248
16900 6226,66

Where the second value is the average of the 3 tests.

A: If the number of tests is the same for all points, then this can be easily be done with the help of the smooth frequency option:
plot "datafile.txt" u 1:($2/3) smooth frequency with points

Type help smooth frequency in gnuplot to get more information about this option.
