1TheIAM said to Noah, "Come with all of your household into the ship, for I have seen your righteousness before me in this generation. 2You shall take seven pairs of every clean animal with you, the male and his female. Of the animals that are not clean, take two, the male and his female. 3Also of the birds of the sky, seven and seven, male and female, to keep seed alive on the surface of all the earth. 4In seven days, I will cause it to rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights. Every living thing that I have made, I will destroy from the surface of the ground." 5Noah did everything that TheIAM commanded him. 6Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters came on the earth. 7Noah went into the ship with his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives, because of the waters of the flood. 8Clean animals, animals that are not clean, birds, and everything that creeps on the ground 9went by pairs to Noah into the ship, male and female, as God commanded Noah. 10It happened after the seven days, that the waters of the flood came on the earth. 11In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day all the fountains of the great deep were burst open, and the sky's windows were opened. 12The rain was on the earth forty days and forty nights. 13In the same day Noah, and Shem, Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, entered into the ship; 14they, and every animal after its kind, all the livestock after their kind, every creeping thing that creeps on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, every bird of every sort. 15They went to Noah into the ship, by pairs of all flesh with the breath of life in them. 16Those who went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God commanded him; and TheIAM shut him in. 17The flood was forty days on the earth. The waters increased, and lifted up the ship, and it was lifted up above the earth. 18The waters prevailed, and increased greatly on the earth; and the ship floated on the surface of the waters. 19The waters prevailed exceedingly on the earth. All the high mountains that were under the whole sky were covered. 20The waters prevailed fifteen cubits upward, and the mountains were covered. 21All flesh died that moved on the earth, including birds, livestock, animals, every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, and every man. 22All in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, of all that was on the dry land, died. 23Every living thing was destroyed that was on the surface of the ground, including man, livestock, creeping things, and birds of the sky. They were destroyed from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those who were with him in the ship. 24The waters prevailed on the earth one hundred fifty days.
1Now it happened when Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it; as he had done to Jericho and her king, so he had done to Ai and her king; and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them; 2that they were very afraid, because Gibeon was a great city, as one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all its men were mighty. 3Therefore Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem sent to Hoham king of Hebron, to Piram king of Jarmuth, to Japhia king of Lachish, and to Debir king of Eglon, saying, 4"Come up to me, and help me, and let us strike Gibeon; for it has made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel." 5Therefore the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon, gathered themselves together, and went up, they and all their armies, and encamped against Gibeon, and made war against it. 6The men of Gibeon sent to Joshua to the camp to Gilgal, saying, "Don't abandon your servants! Come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us; for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the hill country have gathered together against us." 7So Joshua went up from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valor. 8TheIAM said to Joshua, "Don't fear them, for I have delivered them into your hands. Not a man of them will stand before you." 9Joshua therefore came on them suddenly. He went up from Gilgal all night. 10TheIAM confused them before Israel, and he killed them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and pursued them by the way of the ascent of Beth Horon, and struck them to Azekah and to Makkedah. 11It happened, as they fled from before Israel, while they were at the descent of Beth Horon, that TheIAM cast down great stones from the sky on them to Azekah, and they died. There were more who died from the hailstones than who the children of Israel killed with the sword. 12Then Joshua spoke to TheIAM in the day when TheIAM delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel; and he said in the sight of Israel, "Sun, stand still on Gibeon! You, moon, stop in the valley of Aijalon!" 13The sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the nation had avenged themselves of their enemies. Isn't this written in the book of Jashar? The sun stayed in the midst of the sky, and didn't hurry to go down about a whole day. 14There was no day like that before it or after it, that TheIAM listened to the voice of a man; for TheIAM fought for Israel. 15Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp to Gilgal. 16These five kings fled, and hid themselves in the cave at Makkedah. 17Joshua was told, saying, "The five kings are found, hidden in the cave at Makkedah." 18Joshua said, "Roll large stones to the mouth of the cave, and set men by it to guard them; 19but don't stay. Pursue your enemies, and them from the rear. Don't allow them to enter into their cities; for TheIAM your God has delivered them into your hand." 20It happened, when Joshua and the children of Israel had finished killing them with a very great slaughter until they were consumed, and the remnant which remained of them had entered into the fortified cities, 21that all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace. None moved his tongue against any of the children of Israel. 22Then Joshua said, "Open the mouth of the cave, and bring those five kings out of the cave to me." 23They did so, and brought those five kings out of the cave to him: the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon. 24It happened, when they brought those kings out to Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said to the chiefs of the men of war who went with him, "Come near, put your feet on the necks of these kings." They came near, and put their feet on their necks. 25Joshua said to them, "Don't be afraid, nor be dismayed. Be strong and courageous, for TheIAM will do this to all your enemies against whom you fight." 26Afterward Joshua struck them, put them to death, and hanged them on five trees. They were hanging on the trees until the evening. 27It happened at the time of the going down of the sun, that Joshua commanded, and they took them down off the trees, and cast them into the cave in which they had hidden themselves, and laid great stones on the mouth of the cave, which remain to this very day.

1The sons of Judah: Perez, Hezron, and Carmi, and Hur, and Shobal. 2Reaiah the son of Shobal became the father of Jahath; and Jahath became the father of Ahumai and Lahad. These are the families of the Zorathites. 3These were [the sons of] the father of Etam: Jezreel, and Ishma, and Idbash; and the name of their sister was Hazzelelponi; 4and Penuel the father of Gedor, and Ezer the father of Hushah. These are the sons of Hur, the firstborn of Ephrathah, the father of Bethlehem.
24"Everyone therefore who hears these words of mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man, who built his house on a rock. 25The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house; and it didn't fall, for it was founded on the rock. 26Everyone who hears these words of mine, and doesn't do them will be like a foolish man, who built his house on the sand. 27The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house; and it fell - and great was its fall." 28It happened, when Jesus had finished saying these things, that the multitudes were astonished at his teaching, 29for he taught them with authority, and not like the scribes.
1When he came down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him. 2Behold, a leper came to him and worshiped him, saying, "Lord, if you want to, you can make me clean." 3Jesus stretched out his hand, and touched him, saying, "I want to. Be made clean." Immediately his leprosy was cleansed. 4Jesus said to him, "See that you tell nobody, but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them." 5When he came into Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking him, 6and saying, "Lord, my servant lies in the house paralyzed, grievously tormented." 7Jesus said to him, "I will come and heal him." 8The centurion answered, "Lord, I'm not worthy for you to come under my roof. Just say the word, and my servant will be healed. 9For I am also a man under authority, having under myself soldiers. I tell this one, 'Go,' and he goes; and tell another, 'Come,' and he comes; and tell my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it." 10When Jesus heard it, he marveled, and said to those who followed, "Most certainly I tell you, I haven't found so great a faith, not even in Israel. 11I tell you that many will come from the east and the west, and will sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the Kingdom of Heaven, 12but the children of the Kingdom will be thrown out into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth." 13Jesus said to the centurion, "Go your way. Let it be done for you as you have believed." His servant was healed in that hour. 14When Jesus came into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother lying sick with a fever. 15He touched her hand, and the fever left her. She got up and served him. 16When evening came, they brought to him many possessed with demons. He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick; 17that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying: "He took our infirmities, and bore our diseases."


Are They "Liberty Head" or are They "Barber" Coins?
Did you know that Liberty Head and Barber coins are actually the very same thing? Coin collectors, when they first take up the hobby, quickly become familiar with the ubiquitous Liberty Head coins. U.S. Mint Chief Engraver Charles E. Barber designed them for use in the late 19th and early 20th century. A hundred years and more ago, the design appeared on the dime, quarter and half dollar.
Today these coins are known by both their engraving, "Liberty Head" and by their designer, "Barber." The expressions are interchangeable in numismatic terms.
When congress authorized coin redesigns in 1891, the U.S. Mint created a competition and sought out famous artists for entries. But surprisingly, all of the artists cooperated and refused to submit designs because the Mint was only prepared to award a prize for the winning design. All the others who had submitted entries would have put in many hours of work and effort with no payback. After that setback the Mint opened the competition to the public. That contest was boycotted by qualified artists for the same reasons and very few entries were deemed remotely acceptable.
After the competition failure, the Mint went to Chief Engraver Charles Barber, whom they commissioned to design a new dime, quarter and half dollar coin. Barber must have been pleased with this outcome as he was known for his opposition to outside designers.
Charles Barber had a long and successful career as the U.S. Mint Chief Engraver and was responsible for designing many of the coins used during his tenure. The "Liberty Head" design is considered his masterpiece as he had spent five years preparing the engraving.
During the coin's initial introduction reviews were mixed on Barber's new design. Some collectors regarded it as the most "perfect" classical U.S. coin design while others found the work mediocre at best. Complaints include criticism that the portrait was reminiscent of the Morgan dollar and very masculine, as well as disapproval of the fact that the reverse design was much too similar to earlier works.
As tastes have changed over the years Barber's design has not gained much more of a following. (It often lands on lists of "ugly" coins!) But the coin continues to be very popular as a numismatic collectible representing an important part of U.S. heritage.
Love them or hate them, "Liberty Head" coins are a huge part of U.S. numismatic history. It was the last U.S. coin engraving to appear on three separate denominations. Every serious collector of American coinage will want to own a few of these historic issues. You'll find plenty in well-circulated grades but higher quality specimens can be well worth the cost to see the contentious design in its best light.

Journey To Purpose: 31 Days of Faith Declarations is a motivating, edifying and provoking book for anyone truly seeking to faithfully live his or her life's purpose. With emphasis on praying, trusting, seeking, resisting, obeying, working, waiting, believing and praising God, Journey To Purpose will help you in your journey to fulfill your life's purpose. Buy the book or get the book free with the Journey to Purpose Life Class and Register for the FREE Summit.
My prayer for Journey To Purpose is that God grants us a spirit of wisdom, intimate insight and deep revelation into the mysteries and secrets of Him. That the eyes of our hearts be flooded with light so that we can know and understand the hope to which He has called us.
I pray Journey To Purpose will help you faithfully walk with God, no matter how crooked the path may seem. I pray you realize, as I have, that there is no purpose, no destiny, no vision, no reason for existing without God. It is He that leads us on this journey to purpose.
Journey To Purpose chronicles my personal journey to purpose. Not because I have arrived at my purpose, but because I have arrived at the revelation that this journey to purpose is not a destination at which you arrive, but a continuous path of seasons and cycles.
There are seasons of praying, trusting, seeking, resisting, obeying, working, waiting, believing, praising and even seasons of fear, doubt and unbelief. Only with this revelation did I truly come to peace with the never-ending cycles and fully understand what it means to be content and joyous in every season.
So, as I write and speak of my journey, you'll see yourself. And if not, please learn from my lessons. God is allowing me to be humbly transparent so that you can move through your journey with more clarity and confidence. How do you start the journey to purpose? If you've already started, how do you find the strength to keep going? And if you're at the precipice of your promise, how do you cross over? Prayerfully, you'll find yourself in Journey To Purpose and you'll receive the faith you need to continue your personal journey.
There is no time for wasted years, months, weeks, days, hours, moments… nor wasted seconds. The time for us to realize our purpose and move toward and forward… is now!
Start your Journey To Purpose today.
Declare: Before He formed me in my mother's womb, God knew me. So today, I'll not try to decide what I'll do with my life. Instead, I'll pray for revelation as to who I am and for what I am purposed.
Don't waste your life with unfulfilling tasks. That desire – that vision – that dream – may be the purpose for your existence. Seek God now for revelation and move with determination toward your destiny. God has a purpose for your life and you were born to fulfill it.
Start your Journey To Purpose today! Buy the Book or get the book free with the Journey to Purpose Seminar and Register for the FREE Summit.
Declare: I will lay aside the weight and sin that so easily beset me and I'll run the race marked out for me with patience and perseverance.
So today, strip off, throw aside, put away anything that clings, anything that entangles, anything that burdens and anything that hinders you from running your race. You can't run if you're weighed down. Lay the heavy stuff aside, take your mark and don't stop running until you reach the finished line.

New research could divert a billion pounds of clothes and other fabric items from landfills - 23.1.23
New research could divert a billion pounds of clothes and other fabric items from landfills
A new grading system for waste could benefit the environment and economy
Canadians trash about a billion pounds-nearly 500 million kilograms-of fashion and home items made of fabric each year, but a new grading system could help divert most of it from landfills.
In the first study of its kind to determine the quantity and quality of textile waste in Canada, researchers from the University of Waterloo and Seneca College developed the new method to evaluate an item's quality from A to F and whether it can be resold, recycled or tossed. In testing this method, they found that more than half of textile waste in Canada could be reused and almost a quarter could be recycled.
"Fashion consumption is at an unparalleled high," said Olaf Weber, University Research Chair and professor in the School of Environment, Enterprise and Development at Waterloo. "Consumers buy, use and dispose of new garments, which end up in the landfill, and less than one per cent of the materials are recycled. This new method is an important step to curbing our waste."
Canada doesn't have a standardized process for sorting textiles. The researchers used a broader definition of textile waste by recognizing accessories, shoes and soft toys, in addition to clothing and home textiles. They also used a team of Waterloo and Seneca students and professionals from the fashion industry to sort the materials to ensure consistency in grading and proper evaluation of the item's condition. A pair of ripped and stained jeans might receive a D grade and be flagged for repair before being donated and resold.
Overall, this new comprehensive assessment delivers more data and insights into waste management and prevention. The study determined that items graded A to D made up more than half of our current waste stream, so could be resold or reused. This finding emphasizes that there are many opportunities to divert textile waste in Canada, yielding massive benefits.
"Reducing our waste is a crucial step to addressing climate change," said Weber, senior author of the paper. "Avoiding the textile waste assessed in our study could conserve resources and divert a significant amount of greenhouse gas emissions - in just one year the equivalent of driving 310,000 cars, plus supplying energy to 218,000 Canadian homes and filling 35,000 Olympic pools of water."
Textile recycling in Canada is still in its infancy and so more investigation into its feasibility in some communities is necessary.
"The tremendous benefits for the economy and environment make pursuing the method worth the effort," said Weber.

Sundance canyon is located just outside of Camp Verde and is Bear canyons next door neighbor so much that it shares the same parking location. Sundance requires a slightly higher skill set than Bear canyon in regards to a couple minor potholes that could be considered tricky if unfamiliar along with ≈ 180' rap, most of which is free hanging. With that said, Sundance is a great canyon in the Clear Creek area that would be fun any summer day to beat the heat of the valley. Wetsuits should be worn nearly year round, some areas don't ever see much sun and they are cold! Catch Sundance at the right time and you may amaze some hikers who regularly wander to the base of this canyon to soak in the beauty at the bottom of the final rappel.

Working at a translation company is no different to working at any other company. One of the main differences, however, is that translation companies tend to be more "international" than others – because of the nature of the industry. However, one aspect that is often overlooked is that we also spend time managing different generations at work. I would like to start a series of a few articles in my diary about the different generations I have found in my career and what I have learnt and observed about having different generations at work. I hope you find this useful.
A generation could be easily defined as a group of people born and living during the same time (Merriam Webster Dictionary). In addition to the sheer coincidence of having been born around the same time, a generational cohort is a product of its times and tastes (Zemke, Raines and Filipczac 2013, 16). We can find many different generations, but I will just describe the four that are considered to have the greatest impact in business.
Although it is difficult to consider an exact start-finish date for each group (unfortunately, there is no objectively correct answer) I took the dates agreed by most of the books I have read. It is important also to note that the Generational Theory is an Anglo-Saxon model with its own limitations. The descriptions of each generation do not hold for everybody and above all, managers must avoid the mistake of stereotyping.
Recognizing the importance of geography it is also crucial, since there are differences in perspectives depending on where people were raised. Usually, the more similar their geographical background, the more likely they will show similar workplace behaviour within a specific generation.
People born approximately from 1922 – 1945, are also known as Traditionalists or the Silent Generation. The reason why they received this name is because they grew up during a time in which people worked hard and kept quiet, when children "should be seen but not heard".
Veterans were raised in hard times – during the Great Depression and World War II. There was a worldwide depression in the 1930s. In US alone, nine million people lost their life savings, eighty-six thousand businesses shut and more than 2,000 banks failed. Although the Great Depression started in USA, it quickly turned into a worldwide economic slump. Therefore, not only Americans suffered the consequences, but also Veterans from European countries and other industrialized areas of the world.
To understand this generation, we have to keep in mind the workplace in the 1950s. They had a clear and well-defined hierarchy and there was a clear distance between the boss and worker. This may explain why Veterans believe in the value of rules and authority and prefer hierarchical structures over flat organizations.
Veterans dislike conflict and they tend to avoid confrontational situations, their strengths include strong work ethics, experience, stability, composure, focus and perseverance. They can be described as loyal and patient. Most of them have worked their entire career for the same company, as they are reluctant to change.
Males have mainly composed the Silent Generation at work. This is consistent with the values of this generation, through which women should stay at home taking care of the family and housework.
This generation is also "tech-challenged" which means they are not used to work with the latest technological devices, Internet or computers. Obviously, they are less technologically adapted than the younger generations. However, we should not stereotype all Traditionalists as technophobes. Once they are trained, lots of members of this generation take well to new technology.
It is important to take into account differences across countries. Although veterans have in common some "defining events", this does not mean that all members have lived these events in the same way. Actually, this generation is the one that most differs all around the world. Even though they all lived a war, it was perceived differently in Europe, Asia or the US. Oliver Stone's early episodes of his documentary "The Untold Story of the United States" is a monument to how different Russians and Americans (and by extension the Allied countries) see events involving Hitler and World War II and post-war events. Whilst anti-communism tarred anything that happened after President's Roosevelt's death, Russians see the war as a national war of liberation or independence, a fight for survival. The Russian death toll at 25 million was by far the highest in the war – much higher than the whole of the Allies and even Germany put together.
When working with younger generations, some Traditionalists may feel uncomfortable when learning from a "20-years-old". It might be a good idea to find older trainers or teach the younger ones how to speak the language of the Silent Generation. In both cases, it would be advisable to find a coach for the Traditionalist employee who is respected as a leader – in terms of age and experience.
Managers should be open-minded and should consider using older employees for part-time jobs. Many traditionalists do not want to leave completely the workforce and they would be happy to share their experiences with others. Veterans will really appreciate that their age and knowledge are considered assets to the company, rather than liabilities.
There must be no rush when teaching or orienting Traditionalist employees (even if they are just a part-timers). Of course, they feel less confident than younger generations when it comes to learning things on the run. Therefore, they prefer to know what to expect, who is who and which are the policies.
It is important to remember that changes must be done slowly, without surprises. Announcements should be done well in advance and use of surnames and titles it is recommended, since members of this generation usually prefer formality.
If the manager is a young person, it is worth learning from veterans about their background, personal needs, preferences or experiences. It is also important to earn their trust, although it may take time. Their experience must be respected, but young managers must not feel intimidated by it. Avoid the mistake of thinking you know more than everybody else. Traditionalists might have been working in this company many years (not to mention in the industry), so they know what works and what does not work.
When it comes to motivation, use the personal touch. They prefer to work in an atmosphere with living and breathing humans. Try to forge a personal relationship with them and to discover what motivates them.


This paper describes a novel multiresolution image segmentation algorithm for separating sharply focused objects-of-interest from other foreground or background objects in low depth of field (DOF) images, such as sports, telephoto, macro, and microscopic images. The algorithm takes a multiscale context-dependent approach to segment images based on features extracted from wavelet coeffcients in high frequency bands. The algorithm is fully automatic in that all parameters are image independent. Experiments with the algorithm on more than 100 low DOF images have shown results close to the human segmentation these images. Besides high accuracy, the algorithm also provides high speed. A 768512 pixel image can be segmented within two seconds on a Pentium Pro 300MHz PC.

A's Commentary and Analysis
Oakland A's roster update after flurry of January moves
By Alex Hall Jan 21, 2017, 7:52am PST
Share All sharing options for: Oakland A's roster update after flurry of January moves
For the first two months of the offseason, not much happened with the Oakland A's. Then, as usual, a whole lot happened all at once. Now that the dust has settled on Oakland's busy January, let's take a look at the new state of the roster and depth chart.
Pitchers Hitters
Sonny Gray (R)
Sean Manaea (L)
Kendall Graveman (R)
Andrew Triggs (R)
Jharel Cotton (R)
Daniel Mengden (R)
Raul Alcantara (R)
Jesse Hahn (R)
Dillon Overton (L)
Frankie Montas (R)
Chris Bassitt (R)
Paul Blackburn (R)
Ryan Madson (R)
Sean Doolittle (L)
Ryan Dull (R)
Liam Hendriks (R)
Santiago Casilla (R)
John Axford (R)
Daniel Coulombe (L)
Bobby Wahl (R) Catchers
Stephen Vogt (L)
Josh Phegley (R)
Bruce Maxwell (L)
Ryon Healy (R)
Trevor Plouffe (R)
Yonder Alonso (L)
Mark Canha (R)
Matt Olson (L)
Renato Nunez (R)
Jed Lowrie (S)
Joey Wendle (L)
Chad Pinder (R)
Marcus Semien (R)
Franklin Barreto (R)
Yairo Munoz (R)
Khris Davis (R)
Rajai Davis (R)
Matt Joyce (L)
Jake Smolinski (R)
Jaycob Brugman (L)
That outfield section isn't as shallow as it looks. Remember that two of the infielders (Olson, Canha) are just as likely to find time in the outfield corners as at 1B. Also, the DH spot figures to draw from that infield group, as things currently stand.
There are only 4 lefty pitchers and 8 lefty hitters (including switch) on the whole roster.
The bullpen is deeper than it looks there, but many options aren't on the roster yet. That's something that can be sorted out during the spring. The important thing is the front line is set and there are numerous backups.
Non-roster invites
This is a partial list (23 of 29) of the spring training invites. I've removed a bunch of sub-AAA prospects who will only be there to gain experience and not actually compete for an imminent job (Puk, Fillmyer, Cochran-Gill, Murphy, Schrock, and Martin).
Ross Detwiler (L)
Felix Doubront (L)
Daniel Gossett (R)
Michael Brady (R)
Simon Castro (R)
Tucker Healy (R)
Aaron Kurcz (R)
Chris Smith (R)
Josh Smith (R)
Tyler Sturdevant (R)
Cesar Valdez (R) Catchers
Ryan Lavarnway (R)
Matt McBride (R)
Matt Chapman (R)
Jermaine Curtis (R)
Max Muncy (L)
Chris Parmelee (L)
Rangel Ravelo (R)
Josh Rodriguez (R)
Alejandro De Aza (L)
Jaff Decker (L)
Andrew Lambo (L)
Kenny Wilson (R)
Most of those names won't ever factor into the MLB squad, but a few will. The most likely bets are a couple relievers and an outfielder, plus maybe a catcher or eventually Chapman or Gossett.
Forming a 25-man roster
So how can we shave this group down to 25 in the dugout? There are enough veteran stopgaps present that there's not too much room for creativity, so I won't be including most of the prospects; this represents a safe guess, not an ambitious one.
Starters (5): Sonny, Manaea, Graveman, Triggs, Cotton
Relievers (7): Madson, Doolittle, Dull, Hendriks, Casilla, Axford, Alcantara
Catchers (3): Vogt, Phegley, Maxwell
Infielders (6): Healy, Alonso, Lowrie, Wendle, Semien, Plouffe
Outfielders (5): Khris, Rajai, Joyce, Smolinski, De Aza
There's one obvious problem here: That's 26 players, We need to make a cut.
You might quibble with Cotton, but there will be a fifth starter. You might disagree with Alcantara, but there will be a seventh reliever; a long man who's out of options seems like the perfect guess. You can dump Lowrie, but you'll need to replace him with another middle infielder (Pinder?). Wendle and Smolinski make the most sense as a starting 2B and Joyce's platoon partner in RF, but again, they represent necessary roster spots even if they aren't the ones who end up filling them.
That leaves two things. I included three catchers, which is far from a sure thing and is not the norm for most teams. However, the idea is reportedly on the table at least, so it's not something I just made up. And I added De Aza, as a fifth outfielder, specifically a lefty who can play center (could also be Decker or Brugman).
I think the third catcher and the fifth outfielder make a lot of sense, but that means something's gotta give. What other position player can the A's live without? There is really only one answer: Yonder Alonso.
With Healy moved off 3B, preferably to 1B and not DH, there is no need to have a dedicated spare on hand, especially one who doesn't hit. Keeping a backup for 1B means not having one for another more important position, like CF. And with the third catcher, perhaps Vogt could take some turns at first. Or, use Canha instead of Smolinski and he can back up 1B as well.
With Plouffe at 3B instead of Healy, the concern about young infield throwing arms is lessened, which had been one of the main arguments in favor of Alonso. He already didn't make a whole lot of sense on the roster even before Plouffe came on board, and now he's actively gumming up the gears.
Much of Athletics Nation was confused by the team's choice to retain Alonso, so suggesting he should go isn't a tough sell. But now it's not just because he had an off-year in 2016; he's also in the way of the best possible roster in 2017, even before any more top prospects start coming up looking for at-bats.
Finally, here is the new depth chart. A reminder about how to read this chart:
The top section is supposed to be the 25-man roster, but I've only got 20 guys up there for now. Those are the established MLB guys. Directly below them, you'll find everyone else who has at least debuted in MLB but is still fighting for a spot on the big club.
Players below the cutline who have an asterisk* are on the 40-man roster.
Players in bold are my personal Top 13 prospects (plus Mengden, who graduated).
Many of the minor leaguers got late-season promotions. For the most part, I listed them at the level they moved up to, especially if my impression is that they'll stick there to begin 2017. There will be others who move up next spring, but these particular ones already did so.
Players in strikethrough have been DFA'd but not yet resolved. We don't know if they'll get claimed or stay here in Oakland (or Triple-A Nashville).

Best approach this delicately. "I heard from someone..." isn't enough evidence to take action. Perhaps you can report the possibility of abuse to the school guidance counselor anonymously and then allow her or him to investigate. I would not intervene with the girl directly.


Using electricity can be incredibly expensive. Nonetheless, there aren't many alternative options available. We depend on electricity in our every day lives. Since the electric companies know how important electricity is to us, they can certainly charge us whatever they want. Nevertheless, you can find out how to get all of electricity you will need from an online program. You won't be asked to invest in really expensive wind turbines or photovoltaic panels. At this point let's explore this program which is referred to as the Tesla Secret.
I am sure many of you have read about Nikola Tesla, he was a huge developer back in the early 1900′s. During those times he created a machine that could produce cost-free electricity. Nevertheless, his research was discontinued after everyone persuaded him that it definitely would not work. The Tesla Secret has formulated a guide to put together a free electric generator that's supposedly based on Nikola Tesla's groundwork.
Make sure to watch the video found on their website. This video displays a person developing a small scale version of this technology. Immediately after the generator was built this person hooked the power generator up to his cell phone and it actually charged the cell phone. Incredibly, he employed nothing except this little generator. The small version of the generator can be constructed at a cost of $2.00 although a full size generator costs just about $100 to construct.
Another good thing about this program is that it is environment proof. As a result, you can generate electricity no matter what the weather is outside or what time of day it is. This can help you save a lot of money because you won't need to buy expensive batteries just like those you need with solar panels or wind turbines in order to store in excess electricity. And also since the device can be produced for less than $100, you will find yourself saving 1000′s even tens of thousands over buying solar panel equipment or wind turbines.
Although the electrical generator is supposed to be easy to construct yourself, you may find it a little complicated if you're not handy with tools. In such a case, you might want to receive help from a family member or friend who really likes working with their hands.
And for people who are suspicious about this type of money saving product, this is included with a full 60-day money back guarantee. Feel free to obtain the program and test it out because you can always ask for your money back in case you don't like the results. There's no reason to not give it a shot. You don't even have to offer them a reason for needing a refund. If you don't like your final results, your cash will be paid back in full.

Body of pregnant missing woman found in park
by Rachael Whitcomb
Hudson Hub-Times Associate Editor
Hudson -- After a week of hoping for the safe return of their co-worker, 26-year-old Jessie Davis of Lake Township, Allstate Insurance employees returned to work June 25 with the tragic news that Davis's body had been found June 23 in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park.
The Summit County Medical Examiner's Office confirmed June 24 that the body found in a shallow grave in a park off Bath Road was Davis and her nearly full-term, unborn child. As of press time, a timeline of events and the exact cause of death, had not yet been established.
Check for updates of this story at www.TwinsburgBulletin.com.
Davis' boyfriend, Bobby Cutts Jr., 30, a Canton police officer, was arrested June 23 and arraigned on two charges of murder June 25 in Canton Municipal Court. His bond was set at $5 million.
Deputies and agents from the FBI also arrested Myisha L. Ferrell, 29, of Canton, June 24 on a charge of obstructing justice, a third-degree felony, in connection to this case.
"They are doing as well as can be expected," Rick Pitinii, the attorney for the Davis family, said of the family, which reported Davis missing June 13.
Pitinii said there is no word on when memorial services might be scheduled, as the medical examiner's office must complete its investigation.
Patty Porter, mother of Jessie Marie Davis, stood and faced her daughter's accused killer as he was arraigned in court June 25.
"I believe my whole life has prepared me for this moment," Porter said during a press conference following the arraignment. "And by not sitting down when I saw Bobby Cutts, I wanted to make sure he knew I was there."
"We wanted him to see us, to know what he has done with our family -- I'm just disgusted with him," said Whitney Davis, Jessie's younger sister.
Porter said Davis' family spent the day Sunday alone and crying, and Blake, Davis' 2-year-old son, has been asking for his mother and "calling" her on an old cell phone.
"Blake is doing as well as can be expected for a 2-year-old whose mom is not at home," Porter said.

The photos obtained by SaharaReporters capture the widespread destruction of Shiite homes and sites. They also suggest that the military specifically targeted personal property belonging to Sheik Zakzaky.
SaharaReporters has received exclusive photos that expose how Nigerian soldiers ruthlessly destroyed places of worship and homes belonging to members of the Shiite Muslim community and their leader, Sheik Ibrahim Zakzaky, in Zaria, Kaduna State. The military's wrecking attack happened after Nigerian soldiers had massacred a yet to be determined number of Shiite Muslims protesting in Zaria.
One human rights activist in Zaria alleged that, between December 12th and the 14th 2015, Nigerian troops engaged in a systematic assault against Shiites in Zaria, massacring tons of them and damaging their property. The soldiers hunted down the sect's leader, Sheik Zakzaky, who had fled to his residence for fear of his life. Earlier, SaharaReporters had obtained a recorded phone conversation in which Sheik Zakzaky told an unidentified Iranian official about the gunfire around his residence and the military's attempt to abduct him.
When the Nigerian military captured the sheik, they kept incommunicado at a military facility within Kaduna State, denying him access to legal counsel and members of his family. One of the sheik's sons told SaharaReporters that it was unclear whether his missing siblings were dead, alive, or in detention.
Sheik Zakzaky has been reportedly handed over to the Nigerian police after being held unlawfully in military detention for more than one week.
Human Rights Watch (HRW), Shiite members and other civil society organizations have reported that at least 300 Shiites perished in the military attack, but an exact casualty count has not been made. Part of the reason is that the military buried many of the victims in mass graves.
The military has justified their brutal attack by claiming that the Shiite protesters had planned to assassinate Army Chief of Staff, General Tukur Buratai.
"You will see that a social club recently purchased by Sheik Zakzaky is one of the structures the military targeted for utter destruction," one Shiite spokesman told SaharaReporters.
The same source also alleged that the military exhumed the bodies of three of Sheik Zakzaky's brothers from their graves, and took away their remains to an unknown location.
Another source claimed that the soldiers targeted the tomb of Sheik Zakzaky's grandmother, with the intent of exhuming her remains as well.
Earlier this week, Nigerian human rights lawyer, Femi Falana, called for the prosecution of General Staff Buratai, for his role in the massacre.

Not all of the Alaska Range is remote and rugged. One of the more popular areas in the Alaska Range is the Amphitheater Mountains off the Denali Highway. The Amphitheater Mountains are a small sub-range of the eastern Alaska Range. They are a mixture of rolling tundra, craggy peaks and beautiful alpine lakes, the most accessible ones being a series of lakes known as Tangle Lakes.
My first trip into the Amphitheater Mountains was in 2005, when my usual partner in crime, Sy, and I did a circumnavigation of the mountains. We went in early June and ran into deep snow on the north side of the range. We encountered many caribou and my first and only encounter with a wolverine. Weather was mediocre and I created few good images.
Last week I went up to the Tangle Lakes area with my wife and son along with a whole bunch of family friends. We canoed, hiked and picked berries, all in the rain. Okay, we did have one nice morning that didn't turn ugly until the late afternoon.
My son Walker picking blue berries. Rain or shine, berry picking is always fun.
This was my first trip since the ill-fated Neacola trip and I wondered how I was going to feel around so much cold water, but I felt fine, even when the wind, rain and waves picked up during one of our canoe trips. Unfortunately, just like my last trip, photography was mostly a bust.
The Tangle Lakes are the headwaters of the Delta River, a designated Wild and Scenic River, that splits the eastern Alaska Range into two sections. The Amphitheater Mountains (and the neighbouring Delta and Clearwater Mountains) are the home of the of Nelchina caribou herd. The Nelchina herd's primary winter grounds are the Amphitheater Mountains.
A large bull caribou of the Nelchina herd. This image was taken in 2006, in the Delta Mountains.
The Tangle Lakes biggest claim to fame are the human artifacts that have been discovered. There are more than 600 historic and prehistoric sites within the Amphitheater Mountains that help to tell the story of human occupation and hunting for the past 10,000 years. The Tangle Lakes Archaeological District was accepted to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.
Even with it's natural beauty, bountiful wildlife and long history, the Tangle Lakes area is constantly being surveyed and probed for possible large-scale mines. Almost every hour a helicopter passes through the area to the many drills sites north of the Amphitheater Mountains. In the adjacent Delta Mountains, one of the area's finest hiking trails was bull dozed in order to get drilling rigs to remote sites.
Because none of Amphitheater Mountains are under state or federal protection, a dedicated group of locals have begun the process of creating the Tangle Lakes State Wildlife Refuge. Creating any type of protected land in Alaska these days borders on impossible. So, If you have spent time in the area and would like to see it stay as wild and beautiful as it is, please consider helping out.
Cotton Grass and Round Tangle Lake.

New BTCC Champion Shedden Its fantastic I cant stop smilingThursday 23 January 2020
New BTCC Champion Shedden: "It's fantastic, I can't stop smiling"
New Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Champion Gordon Shedden spoke to MSV this morning, just hours after winning his third title in a thrilling eight-way fight in front of an enormous crowd on the Brands Hatch Grand Prix circuit.
"It's unexpected but fantastic," said Gordon, who became the first driver to successfully defend a BTCC title since Fabrizio Giovanardi in 2008. "To back-to-back it is out of this world, I'm dead chuffed."
Having gained points on title leader Sam Tordoff throughout the day, Shedden entered the final race of the season a mere two points behind. Despite losing ground at the start, the Scotsman caught up to his rival, and pounced at Clearways a lap after a safety car restart.
"It just seemed like a better balance in the car in the third race," Gordon explained. "He shot off at the start and I thought it was going to take a bit of clawing back, but the early safety car helped a little bit. We had good pace in the car and I knew I just had to get the job done quickly while our car was working well.
"Sam was philosophical about it. You forget he is only 27, his time will come sooner rather than later and he's driven really well all year. I'm sure he'll learn from the experience of going through a championship-deciding weekend and he'll come back stronger."
Gordon's three titles means that he now matches team-mate Matt Neal's modern-day benchmark. Neal also had a shot of the championship and entered the weekend just two points behind Shedden, but an engine cut in race two led to him being tagged by Ash Sutton, sending him into a series of spins before hitting the barriers out of Druids. He was ruled out of the finale under doctors' orders.
"Matt has a bit of concussion," Gordon said. "He'll be absolutely fine but he can't take any risks, so therefore he couldn't race in race three yesterday. He'll come back fitter, faster and stronger than ever next year, and we'll all go at it again."
Next year's championship will begin at Brands Hatch on 1/2 April, but despite his success, will be forgiven for some trepidation about returning to the short circuit. "The Indy circuit has never been particularly kind to me," said Gordon, who won here in the spring before retiring with a puncture. "The Grand Prix circuit seems to click and it's my kind of circuit - I absolutely love it and I just revel when we get to go through the trees on the GP loop."
Gordon will also be revelling in the aftermath of his third title for some time, as he admits that this one is something special. "The first one [in 2012] was complete shell-shock, and the second was just insane with what happened over the weekend. This year's been really calm, but actually that made it much easier to enjoy the moment when it all happened yesterday, so I still can't stop smiling."
