Aesthetics, or the philosophy of art, is the study of beauty and taste. It is about interpreting works of art and art movements or theories. The term aesthetic is also used to designate a particular style, for example "Japanese aesthetics".
As well as being applied to art, aesthetics can also be applied to cultural objects. Aesthetic design principles include ornamentation, edge delineation, texture, flow, solemnity, symmetry, color, granularity, the interaction of sunlight and shadows, transcendence, and harmony.
The word aesthetic is also an adjective and adverb relating to cosmetology and medicine, as in aesthetic medicine.
Also spelt æsthetics and esthetics, the word is derived from the Ancient Greek αἰσθητικός (aisthetikos, meaning "esthetic, sensitive, sentient, pertaining to sense perception"), which in turn was derived from αἰσθάνομαι (aisthanomai, meaning "I perceive, feel, sense")....LESS

Rubinius 3.0 - Part 1: The Rubinius Team
Today, I'm introducing some big changes for Rubinius. As the title says, this post is only part one. There are five parts and I'll publish one each day this week. I'll be covering these topics: the Rubinius Team, the development and release process, the Rubinius instruction set, the Rubinius system and tools, and one more thing.
Also, as the title says, this is Rubinius 3.0. The past year has been incredibly influential in helping me understand the many facets of Rubinius as a project and Ruby as a language and community. The other posts will dive into more detail, but I want to highlight that all of this is Rubinius 3.0.
Introducing the Rubinius Team
Sometimes we save the best for last, but this is not one of those times. I'm tremendously honored and excited to introduce you to the Rubinius Team. They've all volunteered to contribute their time, experience, and passion to improving Rubinius and its impact to make the world better.
Here we are, in no particular order:
Sophia Shao: As a recent graduate of Carnegie Mellon University's Electrical & Computer Engineering department, Sophia is currently tackling a massive application migration from MRI to Rubinius. She's also been improving Rubinius every day. Hit her up for tips about debugging machine code.
Jesse Cooke: As co-founder of Watsi, a venture to fund healthcare for people around the world, Jesse was part of YCombinator's first ever non-profit. Jesse has been contributing in any way he can to Rubinius for a long time. If you visit Portland, OR, you may see him riding this weird bike with a belt instead of a chain.
Valerie Concepcion: If you're interested in getting things like Raspberry PI's, Legos, and Wii Remotes to play well together, Valerie can help. Drawn to the Maker movement and inspired by her friends who work in non-profits, she is interested in applying technology for social good.
Stacy Mullins: At one point, Stacy would have gladly chosen a typewriter over a computer. But at school for graphic design, she became fascinated by technologies like HTML and CSS and the ability to create something from scratch. Now she's learning about crafting code and communicating well with other developers.
Yorick Peterse: When not breaking code, Yorick is fixing it and asking questions. Either way, there is a lot of code happening. He's drawn to the deep technical details of systems like just-in-time compilers and concurrency. He may or may not be a Dr. Evil character hatching plans for world domination.
Brian Shirai: Having once passed over Ruby for being too much like Perl, Brian rediscovered Ruby over ten years ago and has been working on Rubinius for the past eight. Inadvertently, he's also learned Perl.
After all these years, why do I want to form a Rubinius Team? And what is it? Is it like the "core team" we see in Rails or other projects?
I'm so glad you're wondering about that!
Early in the Rubinius project, Evan Phoenix started a policy we called "the open commit bit": if we accept your patch, you get permission to commit changes to the source code repository.
This contrasted with many open source projects that had a small number of people who could make changes to the code. Usually, this group was called a "core team". Limiting permission to change the code was seen as an essential part of maintaining code quality. If anyone could commit, people would just make a big mess.
This conventional wisdom turned out to be false. We let anyone who made one good patch have access to commit any changes they wanted. In practice, almost everyone was extremely careful. We rarely had to revert changes, and when we did, it was not usually a question of quality. Hundreds of people committed changes and Rubinius benefited a great deal.
For this reason, whenever the topic of a "core team" for Rubinius came up, Evan opposed it. There was no real value in trying to be gate keepers. Giving people the opportunity to contribute and welcoming them to do so had a positive impact and showed appreciation for their efforts.
The Rubinius Team is not about creating a different class of contributor, exclusiveness, gate-keepers, or overseers.
Another characteristic of the typical open source project "core team" is that the members are usually the most technically skilled and have the greatest number of commits. This automatically creates an imbalance of emphasis on only technical issues and technical expertise, despite the fact that the vast majority of people using, contributing to, or impacted by a project will not be "top technical contributors".
The Rubinius Team is not focused exclusively, or even primarily, on the technical aspects of the project.
A third characteristic of typical "core teams" is the implicit privilege of the members and the resulting economic, gender and diversity imbalance. Someone struggling with two jobs won't have time to be a top committer, no matter how capable they are. Likewise for someone caring for kids at home, a responsibility that disproportionately rests with women. All of these problems stem from the dangerous fallacy that open source software is a "meritocracy".
So, what is the Rubinius Team?
The Rubinius Team is a group of people who work together, influenced by our values, to accomplish things that fulfill the Rubinius vision and mission.
Our vision is a world where Ruby is the most useful programming language for building things that improve people's well-being and quality of life.
"Most useful" means the most benefit for the least amount of effort for the greatest number of people. There will always be incredibly smart people who do very difficult things. For the rest of us, to steal a quote by Moshe Feldenkrais, we want to "make the impossible possible, the hard easy, and the easy elegant".
Our mission is to build the best Ruby implementation and the best programming tools that benefit the greatest number of people, prioritizing our efforts to improve access for people who have been marginalized and excluded.
We value impact, quality, inclusiveness, diversity and balance, and we actively promote them. We celebrate our differences and appreciate them as a source of strength. We prioritize improving access and championing the needs of people who have traditionally been excluded. We get things done, lead by example and we constantly strive to improve. We realize that we enjoy a lot of privilege and we work hard to empower others rather than advancing our own interests.
We welcome anyone who shares our vision, mission and values to be a part of the Rubinius Team. And one of our objectives will be growing the team. There are many roles to play. From outreach to industry, academia, and communities like Women Who Code and Black Girls Code to marketing, budgeting, and planning. From documentation to organizing meetups. There are many ideas we don't even know about yet, and are waiting for you to create.
It's about quality
I want to talk more about the over-emphasis of technology in open source projects because I don't hear this discussed often.
The source code written is a small part of a much bigger picture. The purpose of design is to create something that is useful for humans. Better understanding leads to better design. Better design leads to a more effective tool. A more effective tool leads to better engagement. Better engagement leads to greater understanding. There is no hierarchy here; there is no ranking. They form a circle of interaction. Each of these is important, and any one of them is only as good as all the others.
We strive to ensure that we are reaching the people we want to help, and that we are helping the people we want to reach. We do this by seeking global understanding of the problems our community needs to solve. Too narrow a focus on the local technology problems will mislead us.
Pondering these matters leads us to consider the Rubinius community.
The Rubinius Community
I have a very broad view of the Rubinius community. It includes developers and people learning to write Ruby. It also involves people who are not primarily involved in programming but may need to understand or even write some Ruby code. For example, a database developer working with a team of Ruby programmers on an application. The community also includes the people who use the software written in Ruby. And it includes the businesses who employ people to write in Ruby.
The Rubinius Team is also a part of the Rubinius community. The relationship between the Rubinius Team and the Rubinius community is important. The Team's purpose is to help the community. And here, "help" means to serve.
In business the people we serve are our customers, but the concept of a customer is not common to open source projects. Since people do not usually pay for open source software, the idea of a customer does not seem to make sense. However, envisioning the user of Rubinius as a customer has many benefits. To develop an effective product, we must deeply understand the needs of a customer.
The customer relationship provides important benefits to both sides. On one hand it clarifies who we, the Team, are trying to help and to whom we are responsible. On the other, it makes clear the customer's responsibility to engage and communicate clearly, and to provide feedback to help us improve. Both sides must be vested in the relationship.
This is where the analogy of a typical business relationship begins to break down when applied to open source. We provide a thing of value: Rubinius. What thing of value does the customer provide in return? One thing is the person's time. Taking the time to try Rubinius, open an issue, or share their experience with someone else is a thing of value they are giving Rubinius. However, there is not yet a thing that has the same tangible value as money. When we are asked to pay money for something, it increases the stakes for us.
We want the Rubinius community to be healthy, inclusive, safe, and helpful. We want people to learn and grow and build awesome things. So we are adopting a Code of Conduct for the community based on the Citizen Code of Conduct by the excellent Stumptown Syndicate. We know this will be an important aspect of creating an environment of respect and support as we continue to explore how to improve the relationship between Rubinius as a product and project and those who use Rubinius.
I'm excited to share more about the path of Rubinius 3.0 in the other posts this week. We'd love to hear from you. Please send your comments to email@example.com.
I want to thank the following people: Ashe Dryden and James Coglan, who have forced me to question many things about open source projects. Evan Phoenix for starting and leading Rubinius. Chad Slaughter for taking a risk and being a stellar mentor. The Rubinius Team, Sophia, Jesse, Valerie, Stacy, and Yorick, for their generosity and feedback on the post. Joe Mastey and Gerlando Piro for their review and many fruitful conversations. Enova, for giving me hard problems to solve. And thanks to you, the Rubinius community, for making it worthwhile.
Tweet at @rubinius on Twitter or email firstname.lastname@example.com. Please report Rubinius issues to our issue tracker.

Every year Restaurant Hospitality runs a competition for the country's best sandwiches. In 2016 the editorial staff received far more entries than in any previous year but somehow were able to narrow them down to 17 category winners. Looking at the terrific winning entries, what stood out to me and confirmed the popularity of eggs was the fact that three of the category winners used eggs as a major ingredient. The Breakfast category might be expected, but the two others were somewhat surprising: Pork and… wait for it… Hot Dog or Sausage!
Breakfast Category
Bright Eyed Breakfast Sandwich (Blue Smoke, New York City)
Description: Fried egg, pimento cheese and spicy fried chicken on a biscuit doughnut.
The chef said, "Our fried chicken is seasoned with homemade hot sauce powder, and the donut is fully glazed with honey and sprinkled with Aleppo pepper. When you press down on the sandwich, the sunny-side up egg yolk pops up through the doughnut hole, hence the name Bright Eyed Breakfast Sandwich."
Pork Category
Open-Faced Pork Schnitzel Sandwich (Bohemian House, Chicago)
Description: Grilled light rye bread topped with house-fermented sauerkraut, caramelized onion spread, horseradish cream, Emmentaler cheese, and crowned with a fried egg, pickled dill and house-made mustard.
The chef said,
I thought our schnitzel on the dinner menu would make an awesome sandwich. I also considered what a grand impression an open-faced sandwich would make.
Hot Dog/Sausage Category
The All American (Prairie Dogs Hot Dogs & Handcrafted Sausage, Minneapolis)
Description: All beef natural casing hot dog, crispy pork belly, sriracha aioli and Southern-style hash browns, topped with a fried egg.
The chef said, "This was our way of blending the great American breakfast (eggs, bacon, potatoes) with the great American lunch (hotdogs)."
Champions, all!

Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.

It doesn't change nothing at all in the editor
Doesn't work at all for WP 4.2.2
Some strange buttons appear in editor and that's it.
I tested in several themes, including WP authorized themes. Despite proper installation, the plugin doesn't work.
It's a very old plugin, so it makes sense that it would be outdated. But since it came up as a possible post editor yet doesn't work, I had to rate it 1 star.
Agree with sachinwalvekar!
I installed and configured but still refuses to even SHOW! let alone work.
Please help!
I tried installing it but its not working with wordpress 3.7. I have used this earlier with lower wordpress versions and found it good.
I really wanted this to work, but after activating and configuring it, I am left with only the default editor and nothing else. If it is there, it is so well hidden, that it is amazing.
I went to the support forum, where I noticed something. There were others who encountered the same problem. They had posted their support requests, but not one of them was answered. This goes back as far as two years. Other support questions are routinely answered, but if this plugin fails to appear for you, you are out of luck.

What are the steps you need to adapt Ubuntu on a fresh installed Laptop with a high resolution display?
I have a display with 3200x1600px on only 11'' which is all realy tiny.
What are the steps you need to adapt Ubuntu on a fresh installed Laptop with a high resolution display?
I have a display with 3200x1600px on only 11'' which is all realy tiny.
There are some steps to take:
1. System wide Menu and titlebar scaling
Starting with 14.04 we have an option that helps a bit:
Scaling Support
open the System Settings (here in english:)
Go to "Displays" and set the "Scale for menu and title bars":
see also: How to find and change the screen DPI?
2. Universal Access
Go to "Universal Access" (
3.increase unity dock size
4. adapt Firefox
see: Adjust Firefox and Thunderbird to a High DPI touchscreen display (retina)
(or use Chrome, which works fine since Version 41.0.2272.76 Ubuntu 14.10, though Chrome will need to be restarted to take effect)
5. increase font in Pidgin
There is a plugin you can install
Then you can increase the font in Plugins->Extended Prefs
6. create starter for applications that still don't scale
Some applications still don't obey the global scaling (mainly java) for those few applications you can create a starter to only Fix scaling of java-based applications for a high DPI screen
in older Ubuntu versions, with unity-tweak-util in the section "Fonts" you can set the "Text Scaling Factor" to 2.0. This will scale the fonts in most applications to double size.
Go to System Settings and then to displays. Look for "Scale for menu and title bars." then drag the slider to whatever size you want.
I have a MacBookPro Retina display. The accepted solution partially worked for me but I was unable to get Java apps to work properly, and I found the OS to become too laggy while using 2x scaling.
Changing resolutions while using Ubuntu's default Nouveau display driver would result in a black screen and force me to restart my computer.
I finally found a solution, and a simple one. But this does not use scaling and this will not take advantage of HiDPI, but at least Ubuntu will be usable.

Imagine that you had the foresight to put $25,000 to work in Realty Income (O) in December 2004, after it became a dividend achiever. Over the next decade, the company keeps expanding, and grows the monthly dividend payments to its loyal shareholders from $0.109375/share to $0.1821667/share. As a result, you collect $15,000 in dividends over the next ten years. You have a few choices to deal with that cash:
A. Reinvest it back into Realty Income Stock
B. Reinvest it into another income generating stock
C. Save it in the bank for a rainy day
D. Spend it
Now, if Realty Income went bankrupt tomorrow (absolute worst case scenario), you would still have something of value, if you chose options B and C. Under all scenarios however, the dividends you received from the asset covered a large portion of the price you paid. This shows that a company that pays you a growing dividend over time, fueled by the improving business fundamentals, and purchased at attractive valuation, can pay for itself in less than a couple of decades.
In essence, the dividend checks you receive every month or quarter or year, act as a sort of rebate, that essentially reduces the amount you have invested and have put at risk. Therefore, if you bought Realty Income at a split-adjusted $25/share in December 2004, and you manage to collect $25 in dividends over the next 10 – 15 years, you have essentially recovered your whole total investment. However, in the case of a Realty Income investment in 2004, you would still own your stock and you would have a higher claim on dividend checks, simply because the future is more than ten years long. Even if Realty Income never pays more than $2/share for the next 40 years, you would make several times your initial investment amount. Therefore, your risk was only $25, and was limited. But your reward was unlimited.
It is also important to not forget that a $1 today is worth more than a $1 from 2033, due to the eroding power of inflation. However, if that dividend at least keeps up with inflation or is reinvested in other income producing assets, chances are that each dollar would multiply exponentially over time.
For example, if you purchased shares of Eastman Kodak in 1983 for $1000, and you used the dividend checks to put in the bank or invest in other companies, you would be ahead of the game. This is because you would have collected dividends for 25 years in a row, and would have been able to put this money to work for you. The stock traded at a split-adjusted $33.83/share in 1983, but paid a total of $37.28 in dividends for every share through 2008. In addition, you received shares in Eastman Chemical (EMN) in 1994, due to a spin-off from Kodak.
The important thing to take away from this exercise is that you should not merely focus on stock prices themselves, as they do not show the whole picture of your investment returns. Even if the stock you hold drops by 50% after purchase and stays there, or even if the stock price fluctuates manically each year, you should not care, as long as you keep collecting those dividend checks.
I usually accumulate all my dividend checks in cash, and add them to the contributions I make to my dividend portfolio. After that, I allocate the cash in the best valued quality dividend stocks I could find at the moment. So far I have always been able to find something to put my money in, but if I was short of ideas, I would simply keep the money in cash.

Well after a bit of perusing the internet and looking through craigslist ads, I came across a person who provided ghostwriting services. This person writes for other people for a living. I asked them if theyd be willing to write my assessment for me, and after much badgering and explaining my situation they agreed. They needed the money as well as the economy was not so good. The writer understood that I was essentially a good kid, I was just up to my gills in different responsibilities and needed a little boost.

At times resembling a modern day Twiggy, actress/fashion designer Tara Subkoff has little need to follow in the footsteps of yesteryear icons after a series of memorable film roles and a trend-setting career as the co-founder/designer of a flamboyant clothing-line brought both the film and fashion worlds to her well-adorned feet. Following her memorable screen debut as a mentally challenged mute in the 1993 thriller When the Bough Breaks, East Coast-reared Subkoff spent the remainder of the 1990s developing her onscreen career in such efforts as Freeway (1996), All Over Me (1996), and As Good As It Gets (1997) before focusing on her emerging career in fashion. Reluctant to be pigeonholed in either career, Subkoff often blurred the lines between the two with appearances in such high-fashion cinematic exploits as The Last Days of Disco (1997) and The Cell (2000). Teaming with Matt Damhave to transform Salvation Army castoffs into high-priced haute couture, "Imitation of Christ" found the fashionable duo the toast of the town with their cheekily arty creations. With such fashion-icon followers as Chloë Sevigny sporting IOC threads, it wasn't long before numerous wannabes were threading cheap imitations. Though many may find it ironic that an Otis Parsons dropout could find such success in the fashion world, Subkoff's catwalk career continued to flourish as she appeared onscreen in such efforts as controversial Kids director Larry Clark's Teenage Caveman (2001) and the dark psychological thriller Undermind (2002). ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

The billions of dollars that the drug trade injects into the bankrupt financial system through money laundering has been used to recapitalize the financial sector. In light of the revelations about HSBC, the LIBOR scandal, and the potential for the reintroduction of Glass-Steagall, there is now an opportunity to do away with the entirety of the deadly drug trade.

This should have been a great camera. The specs are excellent (fast lens, relatively big sensor for a "P&S") and good build quality and nice retro looks. Unfortunately, the camera suffers from some quirks, the worst probably being the specular circle issue. (I took a pic of a Christmas Tree that was better with an Elph 300). That is, some or all x10s under certain conditions add white round orbs to your pictures. The issue becomes more annoying over time.

Editorial Reviews
"Excellent . . . Bernstein is equally at home plumbing the romantic dawn of trade or untwisting the mind-wracking complexity of modern international commerce." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"Superb . . . [A] significant contribution . . . A Splendid Exchange is a work of which Adam Smith and Max Weber would have approved." -- Paul Kennedy, Foreign Affairs
"Timely and informative . . . Fascinating and surprisingly exciting . . . A saga of epic proportions." -- Booklist
From the Inside Flap
--Richard Sylla, Henry Kaufman Professor of the History of Financial Institutions and Markets, and Professor of Economics, NYU Stern School of Business
"In A Splendid Exchange, Bill Bernstein has further burnished his credentials as both an economic historian and a felicitous writer. He has given us an eye-opening, brilliantly researched, anecdote-laced, and exciting-to-read history of global trade. Readers of this compelling saga will be intellectually rewarded, enticed, and amused--and more sensitively attuned to the challenges of today's version of the globalization that has driven so much of civilization's economic growth and social progress."
--John C. Bogle, founder, the Vanguard Group
"A Splendid Exchange is filled with adroit observations on the evolution of trade from the ancient world to today. Bernstein draws upon a vast historical context to show how trade's development is part of society's natural progression toward prosperity, and he makes a convincing case that trade and trade policy have been the catalyst for the development of ambitious nations. He correctly asserts that we must be aware of how it has shaped the past because it will continue to have a pivotal role--for better and for worse--as we move into the future. Politicians take heed!"
--Arthur Laffer, founder and chairman, Laffer Associates
"Bernstein illuminates modern debates in a sweeping history of international trade, weaving skillfully between rollicking adventures and scholarship. His history of trade from the ancients to the present is a story of our irrepressible urge to exchange goods, which in turn fostered exchanges of art, science, and ideas. The story of trade is the story of humankind; all in all, a happy story indeed."
--Pietra Rivoli, author of The Travels of a T-Shirt in the Global Economy
"Think contentious debate over globalization is something new? Think again. With a staggering understanding of the role of trade in history and a storyteller's touch for illuminating its human impact, William Bernstein takes us back to the days of `ghost ships' and perilous land journeys to explain how age-old debates over trade's winners and losers shape today's bitter divisions over free trade and protectionism. Along the way, Bernstein uncovers the roots of Sino-American trade tensions and explains how century-old backlashes over free trade continue to reverberate as the world's nations become ever more connected to each other through commerce. Bernstein has given us a master's insights into the past to help us understand an issue of deep divisions in the present age."
--Sara Bongiorni, author of A Year without "Made in China"
"Bernstein's powerful book demonstrates that trade is a fascinating, pervasive, and often dominant factor in human history. But Bernstein also provides us with memorable stories about nations around the world and through the centuries. Economics, sociology, military strategy, and even health care are here, as well as a striking group of vivid personalities. The book is not just essential reading; it is fun all the way."
--Peter L. Bernstein, author of Against the Gods
"Bill Bernstein is a funny, lively storyteller who engages us with rich stories that tell how international trade and economic history have evolved together from the Stone Age on. This book is a wonderful way to learn history, geography and economics. As I read it, I felt like a kid reading about Uncle Scrooge's adventures among old civilizations in strange lands, all the while harvesting ideas for my classes."
--Ed Tower, Professor of Economics, Duke University

To these, add another essential strand - encyclopedic knowledge of world history - and then Bernstein's ability to weave it all into an engaging tale. He knows how to clarify abstract points with apposite stories, which range from exotic historical figures to everyday kitchen items. The writing entertains while the thinking enlightens.
A Splendid Exchange illuminates more than you would expect. Consider military history: if you think of history as a chronicle of war, here you will learn just how much of that conflict resulted from trade agendas, in ancient times as well as modern. An example is the discussion of geographical "choke points"; I had never before understood how big a role they played in causing historical wars, nor had I understood the role they are likely to play in our own era.Read more ›
That aside, the book did present a fairly comprehensive overview of the topic, and was relatively easy and enjoyable to read. It helped me solidify the links between different economic and geopolitical events. I would say that the authors strong suit is in economics more than history... some of his facts are inaccurate. But as a general overview it succeeds.
Begin with the long sweep of world trading history;add its remarkable relevance to the global issues in the headlines today; revel in the plethora of entertaining anecdotes of personalities and events, large and small; then mix with a graceful writing style that turns an educational treatise into a suspenseful page-turner. Result: a book as good as--if not better than--any other book you'll read in 2008.
John C. Bogle
That trade has always existed and that it is beneficial is not exactly a new idea, but in Bernstein's account he gives it a new primacy. Trade can be said to be war by other means. Countries can acquire goods and materials peacefully rather than belligerently. Bernstein emphasizes that trade has always been and always will be a great deterrent to war. If wars have loudly made history, trade has done so quietly in influencing its course.
This book can be read a resounding defense of the principle of comparative advantage in that trade always benefits all parties involved. (Granted that this principle is still debatable.) It shows how countries, regions, and individuals sought to possess goods and resources that they could not produce or acquire locally. The history of global trade is vast, but Bernstein focuses mainly on the pre-modern age, dealing more with the commodities of the pre-industrial world.
Toward the end of the book, Bernstein discusses some of the issues of global trade today. He concedes that globalization has not benefited everyone uniformly, indeed many of the workers of the industrial world have lost their jobs to offshoring. However, in the aggregate, trade has created economic growth and wealth.Read more ›

MIAMI -- Hanley Ramirez admits he wears No. 2 in honor of his idol, Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter.
First baseman Mike Jacobs nicknamed John Patterson's curve "Bugs Bunny" after the Nationals right-hander struck out 13 Marlins.
Before that game, rookie manager Joe Girardi had his players working on their fielding for three hours.
These are the 2006 Marlins -- a group of talented, inexperienced and happy youngsters who arrived from around the world and developed in various major league organizations -- and they are ready to hone their craft.
Florida has 12 rookies on its 25-man roster and had six rookies in its starting lineup on Opening Day, an all-time record, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
Five players -- second baseman Dan Uggla, outfielders Eric Reed and Reggie Abercrombie and pitchers Carlos Martinez and Ricky Nolasco -- made their big league debuts this season.
Only outfielder/catcher Josh Willingham and Dominican catcher Miguel Olivo were born before 1980.
The team's best hitter and team leader is third baseman Miguel Cabrera, who will turn 23 on Tuesday.
Dontrelle Willis, 24, a three-year "veteran," won 22 games in 2005 and leads the rotation.
"It's a strange situation, but we need to be ready and just play," said Cabrera, who batted .323 with 33 home runs and 116 RBI in 2005. He has 80 home runs and 299 RBI since 2003.
"Miguel is a well-respected guy in the league, and that takes a lot of pressure off us," said Willingham, a 27-year-old Alabama native picked by the Marlins in the 2000 draft.
Willingham leads the team with 11 RBI and is tied with Jacobs, a 25-year-old Californian who arrived from the Mets, with three home runs.
"We need to be ready," said Ramirez, the 22-year-old slugger who arrived in Florida in the trade that sent Josh Beckett and Mike Lowell to the Red Sox. "Fields are faster and hitters are stronger in the major leagues."
Ramirez hit safely in his first eight games of the season and then went nine at-bats without a hit before connecting for a single against Washington on Sunday. The Dominican native is batting .333, with 14 hits and 10 runs.
"I have felt pretty comfortable during my first two weeks in the majors, and I'm trying to avoid putting too much pressure on myself," Ramirez said.
Florida has a 3-8 record, which puts them on track to lose 100 games for the second time in franchise history. The Marlins lost four of their first five games on the road -- before arriving home for a six-game series -- and four of their first seven losses were by one run.
"We are going to lose some close games, but fans have to be sure that we'll bring our best game every night," Girardi said.
Florida went 54-108 in 1998, a year after winning its first World Series. Management dismantled that talented team for financial reasons.
The 2006 team, which has a $15 million payroll (lowest in the league), does not want to hear about the past.
"I'm having fun," said outfielder Jeremy Hermida, 22. "It's a dream come true."
Willingham, Reed, Chris Aguila and Abercrombie will share time in the outfield.
"Nobody has a sure spot," said Reed, 25. "We need to win our playing time."
These are exciting times.
"I dreamt about the majors and meeting Derek Jeter," Ramirez said. "Now that I'm here, I'm not going to worry and put extra pressure on myself."
The new Marlins might be inexperienced, but they are talented and plan on having fun this summer.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Princessph Great Skates for beginners I really love this skate, the skate is true to size with lots of room inside, if you were to wear any thickness socks. I wish the stopper was a lil bigger other than that I'm ready to roll. Lol July 2, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Corky6984 Awesome skates Bought these and skated in them for the first time today. Had to get used to the "sneaker" type, but once I did, they were awesome! March 19, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bryson5717 Just what she wanted Ordered these for my granddaughter for Christmas. She was thrilled to get the perfect skate for her weekly skate date. The price was reasonable & shipment was satisfactory. Would recommend these. January 11, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by MaxieMillion Outdoor Skating Received my skates today!! I ordered my correct shoe size and there a prefect fit, Extremely comfortable, easy on and off process. Quality not bad for the price. It's been years since I have skated and I'm almost fifty! Purchased the skates to keep up with my 90 pound German Shepherd and I love them... I would recommend them for outdoor skating... September 18, 2015

Rated 5 out of 5 by Nikko Glad I Read The Reviews These are great skates. I bought them for use on the street/blacktop and for the skating rink. They got their first run at the skating rink at my son's school's skating party. They have good balance and ankle support despite not being a full boot. I read the reviews about the sizing and got a size smaller than I normally wear. The skates are comfortable and well balanced on my feet. I'm very happy with this purchase. I recommend these skates. June 15, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by KP nice outside use skates These are just what I wanted for skating with my granddaughter. They do run large, just like all the reviews warned me, so I ordered a size 9 (I wear a 10 shoe). They handle a smooth surface like concrete walkways & the Virginia Beach Boardwalk bike/skate path just fine. Having tons of fun for a 60 year old!! May 22, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Stefany1107 Exactly what I ordered I received my skates and they were exactly what I ordered. I find them to be true to size. I tried a pair on in the store but they were gone when I went back to purchase them. The only complaint I would have is I wish they came in different color options. April 6, 2015
