Top job areas of graduates
Music is a popular degree subject and a little over 4,600 degrees were awarded to UK graduates in 2015. Most were working after six months — but postgraduate study (usually continuing with music) is quite common and a lot of graduates go into music teaching, often as freelance or travelling music teachers of particular instruments. Obviously, many music graduates get work as musicians as well, or work as sound recordists and in similar technical roles. Music is important in advertising and so a lot of graduates go into this industry, and management is also a popular job role for music graduates. There's also a niche for music graduates wanting to work in IT and computing, particularly with web applications. Because a lot of musician work is temporary or freelance, the most common way for new graduates to get jobs as musicians is through their own contacts, so learning how to make good use of networks and contacts might help in your career.
What about your long term prospects?

GETTING MORE TALE #582: Erasure
Fixing CDs is a delicate business. You need a steady hand, the right tools, and patience. A buffing wheel with the right textured attachment works, and you also need an abrasive to gradually smooth out the scratched plastic of a disc. We used to use a special wax but found that regular hand soap and water worked better. That's all the abrasive you need.
In short: Yes! You can fix some scratched CDs. There are two factors that might make a CD impossible to fix, however: deep scratches, and top scratches. A deep scratch that you can feel with your fingernail probably won't be fixed. It's just too deep. A top scratch happens on the top layer of the CD and goes into the aluminum, destroying the data encoded in it. Pinholes weren't usually a problem.
The best way to fix a surface scratched CD
I spent a lot of time talking to the guys we contracted out to fix our CDs. We used one Toronto-based company for a few years, until one of our guys cracked the secret of fixing discs. Once he had a method, he went into business fixing discs himself. This gentleman (now actually a Sausagefest attendee himself) shared a lot of interesting info about fixing discs.
One thing I learned was that if you had a bunch of scratches close to the outer edge of the disc, and you went too deep trying to buff them out, you could lose the ability to play the last songs on the CD. The information would still be on the disc in the aluminum layer, but your laser can't read it due to the excessive buffing of the plastic. The plastic layer would be no longer perfectly flat, and your laser won't read through it. When playing, it sounds like the music fades into static and then disappears. The end effect is that it sounds like the last few tracks have been erased. This happened rarely, but it could and did happen.
Customers could come to us to have their CDs fixed. We charged them a fee and their CD would be back in a week or two. One of my regulars named "Kitchener Rangers Al" had one of his discs fixed. Unfortunately it was buffed too deeply on the edge and he couldn't play the last tracks. It didn't skip anymore, but you couldn't play it to the end either.
I remember when Al came in with his CD after it was buffed. He was helped by the supervisor that I refer to as the "Bully". Other people used other words that are not as nice, but she could be very difficult to deal with. That went for staff and customers both. Unfortunately Al was treated like a liar when he came back with his CD.
"Bully" heard his story: He brought the CD in to be fixed, it no longer skips, but it also now won't play to the end. He said "I think the last songs were erased. That's what it sounds like."
The "Bully" dismissed Al's complaint. "It's impossible to erase a CD," she said. I heard all this and kept my mouth shut. I learned from experience that correcting her, especially in front of other people, was as dumb as kicking one's own ass. I didn't feel like dying that day. She sent Al home with his useless CD that he paid to fix, that we failed to fix. She didn't even listen to it to test it. She just insisted, mockingly, that he was wrong and sent him away. Quite frankly, she treated the customer like he was either an idiot or a liar trying to scam us, and he didn't deserve that. I thought to myself, "If she caught me talking to a customer that way, she'd really let me have it."
I chose to stay out of it, because I learned from the past. This "Bully" was a vindictive bully and it would have been a no-win situation with her again. I didn't want to spend another three weeks of her abuse, as was par for the course when she exploded on me. Roughly three weeks. I just minded my own business, even though I absolutely knew 110% that she was wrong.
Al wasn't stupid, and he came back when "Bully" wasn't in. Al had dealt with her before. He told me the story directly, and I explained to him how the end of a CD can come to be "erased" due to buffing. I refunded him the fixing fee, and he was happy. He said he'd come in and buy another copy if we saw one. Customer retained.
I've been criticized by other former employees for not speaking up. That's fair and all I can say to them is, if you walked in my shoes all those years, let's see how willing you'd be to jump into the lion's den. I don't know what it was about us, but she had an evil place in her soul reserved just for me. Other people had felt her sting before, but nobody I have asked ever experienced the brutal treatment I got. She'd explode on me periodically, year after year after year, right to the end, when I removed myself from the circle permanently.
No thanks to "Bully", Al got his refund and kept coming back. He had been there since Day One, and I hope he still shops there today. As for me, nobody knows the role I played in keeping that customer. At least they didn't until now! You can, technically "erase" the songs at the end of a CD, or at least make them unreadable. Not exactly the same as erasing, but the end result is a wrecked disc no matter how you look at it.

Observations concerning the Mint
Of the Assays
The Assaymasters weights are 1, 2, 3, 6, 11, 12 & represent so many ounces. The weight 12 is about 16 or 20 grains more or less as he pleases to have his weights made. With this he weighs the silver into the fire & recconning a wast answering to two penny weight he weighs it out of the fire by the weight 11 to see if it be standard, & if it be heavier or lighter he adds in the lighter scale penny weights & if need be an half penny weight & grains to see how much it is better or wors. His scales turn with the 128th part of a grain, that is with the 2560th part of the weight 12 which answers to less then the 10th part of a penny weight. They are fenced about with glass windows to keep them from the motion of the air & have in them little thin brass platters to take away the weights by without handling the scales.
He cuts off from every Ingot a piece of about a drachm for two assays beats it out into a thin plate, scrapes it clean & cutts it into the ballance &c. In assaying the money he clips a little off from severall pieces of money & assays them together. The Assaydrops of the money & of the pott-assays (but not of the Ingots) are his fee. He makes two assays of every ingot, puts 13 Coppels at once into the furnace uses the poorest lead assayd & run into bullets. A bullet istwice the weight of the silver. He foliates a bullet with the hammer; tears it in two, wrap{s} up the silver in one half, & adds a whole bullet to it, so that the lead is 3 to one
He lets the fire cool gradually till the silver set least by cooling too quickly the silver spring & the assay thereby make the silver seem wors then it is. When the lead is blown off the silver looks very bright. The Assay Furnace is of copper plates luted half an inch thick within. It is about 18 inches squar{e} 10 inches high to the grate (which is of iron barrs) & about 15 inches above the grate. The muffle stands upon the grate & the coppels are set in with a pair of tongues upon the floor of the grate through a round hole in the side of the Furnace which is afterwards filled with live charcoal. In a quarter of an hour the lead fume{s} away & the operation is done. The King pays for the muffles coppells & furnaces. Pottern ore is the poorest of silver & steel ore & otherthe poorest sorts of ores are the richest in silvers. commends the Lead of Villach as best for Assays because poorest in silver.
Of the Melting
The Melter runns from 600 or 700 to 800℔ & of late 1000℔ weight of silver in a pot & melts 3 potts a day in each furnace within the space of about 12 or 14 hours. The first pot is about 5 hours on the fire the two next about 4 hours a piece. When the silver is molten he puts in the allay. For each melting (including fire, pots, Hoops tongues shovels ladles ingot molds sand & wages of melters & mould makers) he is allowed three farthings per pound weight & for wast five farthings & as much for melting the scissel & for its wast, that is in all 4d per poundweight(vizt 2d for Ingots & 2d for the scissel Formerly he had only 3 per poundweight for ☾ & 1s 1d per poundweight for ☉. The sweep he has into the bargain & makes it up for himself at his own charges. A pot for 8{00} weighs about 500℔wt & cost 20d per pound, and lasts about six weeks or two months more or less that is about 120 meltings so that pots cost about d per poundweight of silver melted in them & if hoops ingots molds & other utensils {saved} be added they cost less then d per poundweight. A pot in three meltings each day spends about 25 bushalls of coales per diem, & imploys about 10 men at 20d. per diem each in making molds. looking to the fire & filling & ladling out the potts. The mens wages & coals at 6d per Bushel to per ℔wt or something less. The sweep amounts to & the charge of making it up to per poundweight. And the coales at 6d per Bushel to about of a penny per poundweight. The Pots shrink in the fire by long use so that a Pott which when new holds 800lwt, when it has been used a month or six weeks will hold but 700 or 650lwt, or perhaps less.
The Scissel if the Pot is crouded full & well charged a 2d & 3d time wasts as little (or without a sensible difference) as if it be filled with Ingots, & the three meltings (if the pot be not quite so full) are done in the same time or within a little.
The hammered money was melted last year at the Exchequer with a blast in small potts of 50℔ weight a piece, 75℔ weight of money in a pott, about 12 pot fulls each day. The potts cost 8 pence a pound & last about 30 or 35 meltings or potfulls a piece. So that the potts cost of a penny per lwt of silver melted in them. But the blast makes quicker dispatch this way with perhaps less then half the expence of fire then in the other way with great pots. The little pots are best for coarse silver to be refined, the great ones for standard silver because they alter the fineness least & make least wast for the melter. Mr Floyer & Mr Shales were payd d per poundweight for melting at the Exchequer this Winter besides potts (which weighed about 50℔ per pott, cost 8d per pound of iron or d per poundweight of money melted in them) & Refitting of Ingots Mittens for workmen, earthen potts, sandover, baskets cartage of potts &c (which cost about of a penny per poundweight or of the potts) but the potts &c should{illeg} be included in the d for melting. Every pot each
day takes up a bushel of coals or above in the first melting each mor{ning} & half a bushel or less in the rest, that is about o{f}a bushel {ea}{at ea}ch melting at a mean rate, that is if coale be 6d a {bush}el, about th of a penny per poundweight. The wast {at}the first melting of hammered money with the blast in these little potts is recconn{ed} at 2d (or dwt) per poundweight, the sweep being allowed for in this recconning & estimated at a farthing per poundweight. The Plate taken in at Chester last May proved generally about 5dwt or 6dwt (per poundweight) worse then standard (by reason of the soader) with a wast of about 5 ounces per wt or 1dwt per poundweight
Of the making the Moneys
Sixteen ounces Troy of sixpenny Blanks were blancht in 6 minutes & lost of their weight in blanching the first experiment 8gr the next 10gr the next 7gr the next 9gr & at a second blanching for 7 minutes of time one grain more at a middle recconning they lost at one blanching 8 grains. Whence a pound Troy loses about 6 grains & a pound Troy of crown blancks 3gr of crown blancks 4gr & of shilling blancks 5gr. By experiment I found that a pound Troy of crown blancks lost 3 grains.
A sixpenny barr weighing 16 ounces Troy in Nealing three times, got 3 grains in weight the first time, lost a grain the second time & got 1 grain the third time, that is in all the three nealings it grew heavier by 4 grains. A shilling barr of 15 ounces Troy in one nealing grew heavier by 1 grain. So that Nealing increases the weight of a shilling barr of a pound weight Troy by about 1gr or 1gr & of a sixpenny barr by about 1 or 2gr. And Nealing & blanching together decrease the weight of a pound weight of sixpenny blancks by about 5gr, of shilling blancks by 4gr, of crown blancks 3gr of crown blancks 2 grains. And if the sixpenny, twelvepenny, half crown & crown blancks be taken in common in the proportion of 1, 4, 3, 2 the nealing & blanching together decrease the weight of a poundweight by or 3gr. If the blancks be not well nealed they will not blanch well.
The Moneyers melt their limel per se without any mixture to make it run & in melting it grows better 2dwt 3dwt or 4dwt & loses 1, 2 or 3 poundweight of its weight The limel is not above the th part of the money. And if the loss in the limel be th part thereof by scattering & th by melting, the wast by the limel will be th of the money that is of a penny per poundweight<11v>
There is also a wast in the milling by the dripping off of sand with some particles which of silver & in the nealing by some blanks falling out of the pan upon the hearth & lying there till they be half consumed by {the} fire and in shreds {illeg} of silver scattered up & down the rooms & lost in the {dus}t or by sticking to the workmens shoes: all which cannot amount to of a penny per poundweight. So that the whole wast in the making of the moneys by the Moneyers comes not to 1d per poundweight.
Two Mills with 4 Millers, 12 horses two Horskeepers, 3 Cutters, 2 Flatters, 8 sizers One Nealer, three Blanchers, two Markers, two Presses with fourteen labourers to pull at them can coyn after the rate of a thousand weight or 3000℔ of money per diem And if for the horses & labourers one with another be allowed after the rates of 22d per diem it comes to about 3℔ per diem, that is three farthings per poundweight.
So that the whole charge of coynage besides the allowance to the moneyers for their hazzard & pains comes only to about 1d.

Online Gambling Market
Online gambling is one of the fastest growing markets in the world. At the beginning of 2017, the market was estimated to be worth $44.16 billion. The industry grew to $47.4 billion by the end of that year. Currently, the market has an estimated value of $52 billion and is expected to hit $81.7 billion in the next four years.
Gambling is known for coming up with new ways of attracting customers. They heavily rely on rewards, prizes, and beautiful faces among the others. The sector has also experienced technological changes. However, the rules have always remained the same. Gambling companies get everything, thereby, they making huge profits. URUNIT is hoping to change these old rules by giving the players control of the casinos.
How URUNIT Will Work
The new system will give gamers controls absolute control over online gambling games such as tables, lotteries among others. It will allow the players to host some of these games and make profits.
A daily drawing that involves all the players will be conducted to identify the lucky ones. There will be no charges for participating in this draw, as it will only be conducted to choose those who will control the casinos on that day.
After one has been selected in the draw, they only have to pay a given amount to control the game. You can boost your chances of winning the draw by enhancing your rank. The rank is determined by the level of activeness. Those who play many times have higher chances of being selected than those who rarely play.
URUNIT also allows those who have been selected to host the games can use the right to place bets in some games. Moreover, they can sell the rights to the other gamers. Players can also earn on the platform by selling their rank. They can also bet the ranks in games.
All the mentioned benefits are applicable in public games available to all the users on the platform. The system will also allow users to create their own private games. Nevertheless, this feature will be available by invitation only. Jackpots will be available on daily, weekly, and monthly basis.
Why Online Gambling Is Expected To Grow

Books, listed by year of publication, with most recently published book listed first:
Seeing Yellowstone in 1871: Earliest Descriptions & Images from the Field, By Albert Charles Peale, Marlene Deahl Merrill. Translated by Marlene Deahl Merrill. Illustrated by Thomas Moran, William Henry Jackson. Contributor Albert Charles Peale, Marlene Deahl Merrill. Published by U of Nebraska Press, 2005. ISBN 0803287879, 9780803287877. 85 pages. Google Books says: "In 1871 the young mineralogist Albert Peale set out with the vaunted Hayden Expedition to map and explore the Yellowstone Basin. Ferdinand Hayden asked Peale, his former student, to write a series of letters to the Philadelphia Press about the survey's work. Just as these letters, the first impressions of Yellowstone sent back from the field, introduced nineteenth-century readers to some of the most breathtaking wonders of the American West, they allow readers today to rediscover one of the nation's most beloved and visited natural areas as it was just five months before it became the world's first national park. nbsp; Written by a scientist for the general reader, Peale's letters convey the grandeur of Yellowstone with great clarity and immediacy, even as they offer apt, detailed descriptions of the basin's geologic features, from the geysers-Giant, Grotto, and Mud, among others-to the creeks and rivers, craters and springs. Illustrating these descriptions are the earliest artistic images of Yellowstone, also done during the expedition-watercolor field sketches by Thomas Moran, photographs by William Henry Jackson, and the now little-known works of the party's official artist, Henry Wood Elliott. Ranging from dramatic panoramic landscapes to lighthearted sketches of the expedition's more personal moments, these images combine with Peale's written impressions to give readers a true and rare sense of what it was like for these men to marvel at Yellowstone for the first time."

Drawn to Yellowstone: America's First National Park, by Peter H. Hassrick, Los Angeles: Autry Museum of Western Heritage, 2002.
Yellowstone and the Great West: Journals, Letters, and Images from the 1871 Hayden Expedition, By Marlene Merrill. Published by University of Nebraska Press, 1999. Original from the University of Michigan. Digitized Sep 24, 2008. ISBN 0803231482, 9780803231481. 315 pages. Google Books says: "Here, for the first time in paperback, is a fascinating daily record of Ferdinand Hayden's historic 1871 scientific expedition through Utah, Idaho, and Montana Territories to the Yellowstone Basin. The expedition's findings quickly led Congress to establish Yellowstone as the world's first national park. In addition to its scientific discoveries, the expedition is famous for producing the earliest on-site images of Yellowstone, by its photographer, William Henry Jackson, and its guest artist, Thomas Moran. Marlene Deahl Merrill has woven together a compelling daily narrative from the field writings of three expedition members: unpublished journals kept by mineralogist Albert Peale and geologist George Allen, periodic reports by Peale to his hometown newspaper, and letters from Hayden to his friend and mentor Spencer Baird at the Smithsonian Institution. Enriching this narrative are Jackson's photographs of camp scenes and landscapes; rare panoramic drawings by the party's topographical artist, Henry Elliott; maps; an introduction; and extensive annotations."

Luis Negrón's "Mundo Cruel" Wins a 2014 Lambda Literary Award
On June 2nd, Luis Negrón's Mundo Cruel (trans. Suzanne Jill Levine, pub. Seven Stories Press) was named recepient of the 2014 Lambda Literary Award for Gay General Fiction. Of great note is that this is the first time in Lambda Literary Award history (the first award ceremony was held in 1989) that a work of fiction in translation has won an award.
From the Seven Stories press release:
Nine short stories open a door into working class Santurce, Puerto Rico, where shoddy medical offices, Catholic churches, Mormon temples, and Santeria storefronts line the sunbaked streets. Here, a bumbling prostitute-turned-fugitive bewilderingly avoids capture. Back-biting mothers hand down judgment on their neighbors and the world at large from their front lawns. A desperate dog-owner will do anything to have his precious animal sent to a taxidermist. A young Chosen One with a curious gift helps his fellow parishioners find God.
Mundo Cruel, Luis Negrón's debut book, elegantly presents to its readers a world both tragic and outrageous. Masterfully satirical with a discrete solemnity at its core, Mundo Cruel's most remarkable element is its language. Several of its stories feature unnamed protagonists brought to life by their speech—colloquial, self-incriminating, and idiosyncratic—revealing Negron's mesmerizing talent for conjuring the spoken word in all its subtlety.
LUIS NEGRÓN was born in the city of Guayama, Puerto Rico, in 1970. He is co-editor of Los otros cuerpos, an anthology of queer writing from Puerto Rico and the Puerto Rican diaspora. The original Spanish language edition of Mundo Cruel, first published in Puerto Rico in 2010 by Editorial La Secta de Los Perros, then by Libros AC in subsequent editions, is now in its third printing. It has never before appeared in English. Negrón lives in Santurce, Puerto Rico.
SUZANNE JILL LEVINE's acclaimed translations, which include works by Guillermo Cabrera Infante (Three Trapped Tigers) and Manuel Puig (Betrayed by Rita Hayworth), have helped introduce the world to some of the icons of contemporary Latin American literature. She is also editor of Penguin Classics' essays and poetry of Jorge Luis Borges and the author of The Subversive Scribe: Translating Latin American Fiction. She is the winner of PEN USA's Translation Award 2012 for her translation of Jose Donoso's The Lizard's Tale.

- A conflict of interest plays a key role in shaping Wikipedia
Thomas Shafee, et al., wrote an article entitled "Academics can help shape Wikipedia" (1). As of 13 August 2017, total wiki pages is 42,640,127, total users is 31,466,095, and English articles is 5,451,777 where total admins is 1,251 (2). The total article text size in English Wikipedia is depicted in Figure (3). Conflict of interest is one of Wikipedia's least understood and yet most cited behavioral guidelines (4). Conflicted editors or paid editors (5) who do choose to contribute should declare their interests, both on their user pages and on the talk page of any article they edit, be sure to write in a neutral tone, cite reliable, third-party published sources, and beware of unintentional bias (4). One detailed study from 2012 found that new editors often find that their first contributions to the site are quickly rejected by more experienced users, which directly correlates with a drop in the likelihood that they will continue to contribute to the site (6). Although the total article text size has been increasing, the number of active editors has been declining (7).
In order to be a collective human knowledge platform, growing pains for Wikipedia should be alleviated by managing open collaboration community without biases.

This is a kind of treat that is going everywhere. In Australia, there is one of a kind shop that allows you to engrave items associated with beer and the brewery. That is everything from oak barrels to glassware sets. These are all handcrafted to the way you wish and they look really graceful. Starting from Brisbane, this can be purchased and delivered all around the country in a matter of hours and days. The best thing is that it adds a class of touch to your gifts, that otherwise would be really mundane. There has been a tradition of gifting stuff, but if you can write something personal over it, that just adds a lot more content to it. Now, after all, office stationery, pen drives, and USB sticks, T-shirts and hoodies, it comes the time to get some handcrafted beer mugs, oak barrels, and bar gifts made to your choice and taste.
A new kind of gift shop in town
For getting one of this engraved beer stein, beer barrels, beer glasses, wine glasses, beer mugs, spirit glasses and a long list of other items you can now go straight to a gift shop. This is a one of a kind shop located in Brisbane, Australia. There you can find everything that you would see in a bar, but with your personalized touch engraved onto them. This makes it a really heartwarming and a must thing to cherish for years. Moreover, you can use them just as you would use your coffee mug or your T-shirt. These are great things to go for irrespective of the birthday party or a wedding anniversary.One of the best things about having so many types of materials and options is to allow for the whole atmosphere. It is to ensure that you find what you need. You can even go shopping with those brass taps with your own personalized engraving on them. It really looks amazing if you imagine.
Handcrafted stuff at your disposal
The thing is that you need utmost care and attention to bring up something like that. This results in a product that adds more than your character to your beer. This makes it really amazing to hold one of the pieces. Now that your wine glass is not just another one in the room, but belong just to you makes it feel great. This is surely one of the best ideas for custom birthday gifts.They are of great quality too, so that the precious items stay for years.

Low power prices in Alberta good news for now, future not as bright
Calgary Herald
There's a price to be paid for everything — even low prices. The relatively low cost of electricity in Alberta may be providing short-term gain for some consumers, but that will surely give way to long-term pain as the prices don't justify the multi-billion dollar expense of building new power plants that will be needed over the next two decades.

Upgrades planned for Lethbridge Airport
Lethbridge Herald

Province may disband Utilities Consumer Advocate advisory board
Calgary Herald
The provincial government is looking at doing away with the Utilities Consumer Advocate advisory board, a move some critics fear could leave Albertans without a voice in utility rate hearings. The nine-person external advisory board — which was created in 2003 in response to the deregulation of Alberta's electricity and natural gas markets — provides input to the province's Utilities Consumer Advocate, which is responsible for representing the interests of consumers in regulatory hearings before the Alberta Utilities Commission.

Since it appears the Mets are largely finished making offseason moves, even if they really should be doing more to make good on their all-in declaration for 2019, now they have to hope a potential nightmare scenario doesn't unfold around them in the NL East.
That would be Bryce Harper returning to the Nationals, Manny Machado signing with the Phillies, and Craig Kimbrel reuniting with the Braves.
Suffice it to say such a trifecta would have to dampen the optimism that prompted Brodie Van Wagenen to say he sees the Mets as favorites in the division.
It would also influence my final off-season grade for the new GM. As it is, I gave Van Wagenen a B- as something of a mid-term grade a couple of weeks ago in a column sizing up the state of the NL East. And the depth moves he made a couple of days ago aren't impactful enough to raise that grade.
But because everything the Mets do this off-season is at least somewhat related to the rest of the division, that grade certainly could dip if their rivals wind up landing the free-agent whales in this market.
It still seems possible, although at this point who really knows what to believe about where Machado, Harper, and even Kimbrel ultimately sign.
All indications are that interested teams are proceeding more cautiously than expected for Machado and Harper, the two 26-year-old generational talents, wary of offering the 10-year, $300-plus million deals that had been forecasted for years.
Indeed, remember when some in the industry were predicting that Harper, in particular, might become the first $400 million player? That seems quite far-fetched now, in part because the slugging outfielder didn't follow his 2016 MVP season with similar eye-popping seasons, and in part because value-obsessed front offices have become more and more careful about handing out long-term contracts.
All of which has seemingly brought the Nationals back into play, only a few weeks after their owner basically declared them out of the running.
Then there are the Phillies, still apparently ready to spend "stupid money," as their owner, John Middleton, famously put it early in the off-season. They're still in on both Harper and Machado, but clearly they haven't made the type of over-the-top offer that would convince Machado, in particular, to sign with them rather than the Yankees.
Finally, the Braves could still make an impactful splash by signing Kimbrel to upgrade the bullpen, an area of weakness as times during their surprise season in 2018.
All three of those NL East teams have already made moves to improve their teams, but you can make a case the Mets have done as much or more as any of them. That's where a Machado or a Harper, especially, would change such an equation.
Add the re-signing of Harper, for example, to the moves the Nationals have made to bring in Patrick Corbin, Anibal Sanchez, Kurt Suzuki, Jan Gomes, and Trevor Rosenthal, and that would make for a great off-season.
Likewise, if the Phillies were to sign Machado to go with the acquisitions of Jean Segura, Andrew McCutchen and David Robertson, their off-season would go from so-so to pretty spectacular.
Of course, there's nothing preventing the Mets from jumping in on Harper, as their fans have been screaming for them to do. Such a move would energize and excite a fan base that is again bemoaning the fact that they expected more this winter, based at least partly on Van Wagenen's bold talk in his first few weeks on the job.
Unfortunately, it's not realistic.
But maybe it's realistic to at least wonder if the Mets would re-assess should Machado and Harper land in the NL East, and re-consider signing A.J. Pollock to give them a star center fielder and a more potent offense.
I'm not dismissing Van Wagenen's most recent moves as insignificant. The lack of depth has been a major problem for this organization the last couple of years, especially when injuries hit, and trading for players like Keon Broxton and J.D. Davis address that need.
Same goes for Walker Lockett, the minor-league pitcher acquired in the Kevin Plawecki trade. There is nothing particularly impressive about his overall numbers, but the Mets see value there based largely on their new analytics model, courtesy of newly hired assistant GM Adam Guttridge.
On the other hand, though the Mets didn't' give up blue-chip prospects in any of the trades, some scouts believe they gave up too much potential value in some of the young minor-leaguers they dealt.
We'll see about all of that. Van Wagenen has been charged with winning immediately, but to be successful as a GM for the long run he needs to hire people who will do a better job of evaluating talent, both in the amateur draft and in the minor leagues, than the Mets did under Sandy Alderson.
In any case, the bottom line is depth is important; just not as important as front-line talent up and down the roster.
The Mets have enough to contend, if all goes well, just not nearly enough to be considered favorites in the NL East. Especially if Machado and Harper land nearby.

Over the holidays I had a go at painting cookies!
Firstly, my flood icing needs a LOT of practice. I did about 30 cookies and there are the best of the bunch but at least with baking you can eat your mistakes.
Secondly, it takes a bit of time to get sed to painting with food colouring. I used Wilton gel food colours which I watered down like you would with watercolour paint. I also used some cheap brushes I bought on Amazon worked pretty well. The main thing I learned is that food colouring dries really fast compared to watercolours.
Overall though not a bad first attempt!

New Study On Prevention Of Transfer Of HIV.
An antiviral soporific may hand keep safe injection cure-all users from HIV infection, a redone study finds. The study of more than 2400 injection anaesthetize users recruited at 17 poison treatment clinics in Thailand found that continuously tablets of tenofovir reduced the risk of HIV infection by nearly 49 percent, compared to motionless placebo pills provillus shop. One polished said an intervention to worker shield injection hallucinogen users from HIV - the virus that causes AIDS - is much needed.
And "This is an eminent ponder that opens up an additional option for preventing HIV in a hard-to-reach population," said Dr Joseph McGowan, medical executive at the Center for AIDS Research and Treatment at North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset, NY. He respected that "HIV infections endure to develop at great rates, with over 2,5 million worldwide and 50000 experimental infections in the US each year pillarder.com. This is in the face widespread grasp about HIV infection and the spirit it is spread, through unprotected coition and sharing needles for injecting drugs".
The participants included in the altered study were followed for an average of four years. During that time, 17 of the more than 1200 patients winsome tenofovir became infected with HIV, compared with 33 of an comparable company of patients compelling a placebo, according to the study published online June 12, 2013 in The Lancet review pengguna erha clinic. Further analyses of the results showed that the possessive form of tenofovir was highest surrounded by those who most closely followed the drug's prescribed regimen.
In this group, the endanger of HIV infection was reduced by more than 70 percent, said work leaders Dr Kachit Choopanya and Dr Michael Martin, master of clinical investigation for the Thailand Ministry of Public Health-US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Collaboration. Prior scrutinization has shown that restraining use of antiviral drugs cuts the peril of physical transmission of HIV in both heterosexual couples and men who have congress with men, and also reduces mother-to-child movement of HIV.

Hi everyone! Thought with this glorious weather we are having that I'd just pop on and share this super simple but super tasty recipe I threw together. It's perfect for barbeques and a great lower calorie alternative to rice! This giant cous-cous salad takes no time and all and won't break the bank either with all the ingredients coming in at less than 4 euro in Aldi!
Giant Cous Cous
Red Onion
Balsamic Vinegar
Pop all your cous-cous into a pot, cover with water and bring to the boil. Once boiled turn down and allow simmer for 5-6 minutes or until it becomes translucent.
While your cous cous is simmering, grab your onion, garlic and tomatoes and chop.
Once your cous-cous is done, drain it well (you don't want it to go stodgy) pop into a bowl and leave to cool.
When the cous cous is cold, add your garlic, onion & tomatoes and mix.
You can either add your balsamic to the whole bowl or you can just leave on table for people to take as they like. It's a quick and simple fool proof recipe and 1 serving of 150grams comes in at just about 120 calories.

Teignmouth to Sidmouth
13 miles walked (+ train)
Holly's house
Holly dropped me back in Teignmouth early and I wandered around the town centre before getting on a train to Starcross. There wasn't much to Teignmouth first thing in the morning and I had a pretty average coffee.
I had decided to get the train along the coast through Dawlish and Dawlish Warren as it looked more exciting than walking.
The train went through a couple of tunnels bored through the cliff. I enjoyed a lovely view of the red cliffs, and then of the town of Dawlish and the entertainment centre that seemed to be Dawlish Warren.
I arrived at Starcross in time to catch the first ferry across the River Exe to Exmouth. I'm not sure what it is with ferrymen in South Devon but this pair waited until we were supposed to leave before departing the vessel (leaving the engine running) to make themselves a cup of tea in the ferry hut. Clearly arriving at work 10 minutes earlier (when the start time was 10 am) was too much.
I walked along Exmouth's sea front promenade, past the beach full of schoolchildren enjoying various water sports, and headed up onto the cliff at Orcombe.
The Geoneedle at Orcombe Point signifies the Western gateway to the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site. To call the 95 miles of coast between Exmouth and Studland Bay the Jurassic Coast is a misnomer as the rocks tell the story of the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. The oldest rocks, a mere 250 million years old, are the ones at Orcombe Point; the story unfolds from West to East so I am heading in the right direction.
The Triassic cliffs are deep red and the shingle beaches are covered in quartzite, round pebbles, marking the course of a huge river that once flowed through a vast desert. The river originated in Brittany and longshore drift causes the pebbles to continue to move East, from Budleigh Salterton to Chesil Beach and even as far as the Isle of Wight.
I passed the enormous holiday park full of static caravans above Sandy Bay and next to the rifle range at Straight Point.
The colour of the cliffs was incredible and made the sea look muddy at their base. The path curved up and down like a wave. Many of the cliff top paths seem to be given names and The Floors took me to Budleigh Salterton. I passed straight by the town along the sea front.
To cross the River Otter the path took me a kilometre inland to the first bridge and then back out again and over Otterhead.
It was a long, curvy walk up and down to Sidmouth. The standout sections were Ladram Bay and Peak Hill.
Ladram Bay had some amazing rock formations that had been created by erosion.
It was hot work climbing up Peak Hill (fortunately the path did not go to the top of High Peak just before it) but the view was incredible. I could see all the way back around Lyme Bay to Berry Head at Brixham.
I had really picked the pace up as I climbed Peak Hill and descended into Sidmouth so that I made the 3pm bus. I had to get a bus to Exeter and then the train to Teignmouth, where Holly collected me for my final night in a bed for a while.
The Regency Town of Sidmouth looked like a great place to retire and I saw plenty of oldies playing croquet on the town's court.
Holly and I went out for a really nice pub dinner at The Elizabethan Inn in Luton, Devon. It had been my last day of walking for 9 days as I was heading back to Cornwall for a week off.
