SEATTLE (TNS) —Two streaks came to an end Tuesday night at T-Mobile Park, but only the Kansas City Royals left happy.
The Royals knocked around Seattle Mariners starter Yusei Kikuchi, got a pair of home runs and a career-high six runs batted in from Whit Merrifield and defeated the Mariners 9-0 in front of an announced crowd of 12,697. In the process, Kansas City clinched its first winning road series of the season.
For the Mariners, it ended their string of lose one, win one at 13 games.
The Royals ended the dubious distinction of being the only team in the majors without a road series win. Miami and Texas accomplished that last month, and the rest of the big leagues had done it in April.
Now, the road-challenged Royals have a chance for a sweep.
It was a tough start from the get-go for Kikuchi, with Kansas City opening the game with three straight hits that produced a pair of runs.
Jorge Soler pushed the Royals' lead to 3-0, with a solo home run in the third, his third RBI of the game, and Merrifield hit a three-run homer in the fourth to make it 6-0.
Kikuchi was hoping to build off last week's solid start when he allowed one run in five innings at Minnesota. Instead, he looked like the pitcher in the three previous starts before the game against the Twins, when he lasted just 3 1/3 innings in each game, allowing 16 earned runs in that 10-inning span.
Kikuchi pitched five innings, allowing the six runs on nine hits and two walks. His season ERA rose to 5.15.
The Mariners, meanwhile seemed locked in early on Royals starter Homer Bailey, who came into the game with a 5.37 ERA. Mallex Smith and J.P. Crawford opened the game with two loud outs, both driving Royals right fielder Jorge Bonifacio to the wall.
Bailey allowed the next two hitters to reach, but escaped harm, just as he did in the second inning after putting runners on first and third with one out. He got some good fortune when Mac Williamson hit a shot that Merrifield caught at first base before stepping on the bag for a double play.
The Mariners got two more runners on in the third, but the chances dwindled after that. Staked to the six-run lead in the fourth, Bailey settled down nicely, giving the sparse crowd little to cheer.
Bailey allowed five hits in 7 2/3 scoreless innings with six strikeouts and two walks. He threw 121 pitches.
Marlins rip Cards
ST. LOUIS (TNS) — Miami Marlins starting pitcher Jordan Yamamoto struck out St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina to finish a shutout seventh inning at Busch Stadium on Tuesday and cap a second stellar start to begin his MLB career.
By the time he left the game, an eventual 6-0 Marlins win, the 23-year-old right-handed pitcher from Pearl City, Hawaii, had already etched his name into the Marlins record book.
Yamamoto's 14 scoreless innings (and counting) to begin his Major League career well surpassed the Marlins franchise record by a starting pitcher to open his career. Josh Beckett previously held the record with 10 scoreless innings in 2001 to start his career. Yamamoto will have a chance to extend the streak during his next start, which is scheduled for Sunday against the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park.
Yamamoto, who the Marlins obtained in January 2018 as part of the Christian Yelich trade, gave up just two hits and two walks on Tuesday while striking out seven. He threw 99 pitches, 60 of which went for strikes.
And while his fastball wasn't overpowering — he averaged 90.8 mph with the pitch and topped out at 93.2 mph — his sequencing and ability to command his off-speed and breaking ball pitches made up for his lack of velocity.
Yamamoto's pitching breakdown on Tuesday: 33 four-seam fastballs (24 for strikes), 34 sliders (18 for strikes), 20 curveballs (11 for strikes), eight change-ups (six for strikes) and four cutters (one for strike).
He also had help from the offense, which snapped an 18-inning scoring drought when Starlin Castro hit a leadoff home run in the fourth inning. Brian Anderson hit a two-run home run in the seventh and the Marlins (26-45) added three more runs in the eighth to cruise to the shutout victory.
Twins win in 17
MINNEAPOLIS (TNS) — The Minnesota Twins had avoided a three-game losing streak all season long, a testament to how they have seized control of the AL Central with a potent offense and effective pitching.
They botched scoring opportunities, Mitch Garver was picked off third in the sixth, Eddie Rosario collided with Jake Cave in the 15th that enabled a fly ball to fall to the ground, then Rosario was doubled off second in the bottom of the inning. There was also a strikeoutfest in the middle of the game. Miguel Sano swung his way into a five-strikeout night.
But they managed to stick around, responding to one-run deficits three times and day turned into night and Tuesday turned into Wednesday.
And it was in the early morning that the Twins pulled off a 4-3 win over the Boston Red Sox in 17 innings. Max Kepler's hard grounder blasted through Boston's five-man infield with the bases loaded, scoring Luis Arraez with the winning run.
It ended the longest game by innings in Target Field history. Timewise, the 5-hour, 45-minute game ties for the fourth longest in Twins history.
Arraez hit a one-out single to center in the 17th inning and was followed by Rosario's double to right. That came after Rosario appeared to bunt at a ball while standing outside the batters' box — the Red Sox objected, but Rosario was allowed to continue his plate appearance.
With runners on second and third, C.J. Cron was intentionally walked. The Red Sox went to a five-man infield, but Kepler hit Brian Johnson's first pitch past Michael Chavis at first for his third run-scoring hit of the game.
A's blast 6 HR's
OAKLAND, Calif. (TNS) — The Oakland Athletics got home runs from six different players and Brett Anderson pitched seven innings with one earned run in a 16-2 win over the Baltimore Orioles before a crowd of 14,310.
The game was blown open in a 10-run sixth inning that included three-run home runs from Khris Davis (his 16th) and Stephen Piscotty (his ninth). Robbie Grossman also hit a two-run shot, his fifth in the sixth.
Ramon Laureano had four hits, including a three-run home run in the fourth, and other home runs came from Beau Taylor in the third, his first in the major leagues, and Chad Pinder in the seventh, a pinch-hit two-run home run that went out in left field. The others all left the park in center or right.
The Athletics go for a sweep of the series Wednesday with a 38-36 record, while the Orioles looked every bit as overmatched as their major league worst 21-52 record suggests.
Anderson (7-4) had one walk and two strikeouts, with the lone earned run coming on a solo home run to center by Jonathan Villar, his eighth, in the fifth inning.
Laureano's three-run home run in the fourth inning gave the Athletics a 4-0 lead. It came after Matt Olson doubled to left center and Ynoa hit Khris Davis with a pitch. The A's drew first blood agianst Ynoa when catcher Taylor hit his first career home run leading off the second. Like Laureano's blast, it went over the fence in center field.
Kerhsaw shines for LA
LOS ANGELES — On the fifth anniversary of his 15-strikeout no-hitter against the Colorado Rockies, a different Clayton Kershaw, an evolved version successfully adapting to the sobering constraints a decade of intense mileage on his arm, trotted out to the mound at Dodger Stadium on Tuesday night while two special guests roamed behind home plate.
Four-year-old Cali and 2-year-old Charley Kershaw, his two children, both born after that historic evening in 2014, were being guided off the field as their father emerged to work.
They had thrown out the ceremonial first pitches on Kershaw's bobblehead day commemorating his pitching masterpiece, momentarily seizing the spotlight. Their father took it from there, continuing his dominance of the Dodgers' staunchest rival in their 9-0 win over the San Francisco Giants.
The Dodgers (49-25) welcomed Justin Turner back to their starting lineup after he was limited to a pinch-hit appearance in Monday's loss as the club handles the third baseman with care while he nurses hamstring discomfort. The additional firepower Tuesday helped the Dodgers match Monday's run total before recording an out.
First, Joc Pederson poked his 15th career leadoff home run — moving him into second place in franchise history — that barely cleared the left-field wall off right-hander Shaun Anderson. It was his 19th home run this season — all against right-handed pitchers — and came a day after he registered an infield single to snap an 0-for-29 skid.
Angels down Jays
TORONTO (TNS) — On the day the Angels reached .500 for the first time in more than two months, starting pitcher Tyler Skaggs walked into the Rogers Centre visiting dugout after the sixth inning of an eventual 3-1 win over the Toronto Blue Jays Tuesday night in a huff.
Skaggs had just thrown his hardest pitch of the season, a 95-mph fastball, to the outer edge of the strike zone. Blue Jays rookie Vladimir Guerrero Jr. couldn't catch up to it and struck out, marking the fourth straight hitter Skaggs had retired since the defense bailed him out of a jam an inning earlier. Skaggs had thrown only 72 pitches and scattered three hits. His curveball was coming out of his left hand sharper than it had all season. The deeper into the game he got, the more he resembled the pitcher who carried a 2.64 earned-run average through his first 16 starts a year ago.
Yet there was reliever Cam Bedrosian, warming in the Angels bullpen as Skaggs began his attack on the top of Toronto's batting order for the third time.
Skaggs' 7 1/3 inning outing was both the longest and best an Angels pitcher had assembled all season. The left-hander struck out six, gave up one home run on a change-up that Lourdes Gurriel Jr. lifted over the left-field wall and issued no walks for the first time since April 12. His performance allowed the Angels to even their record at 37-37, good enough to climb to three games out of second place in the American League wild card race.
Yanks drop Rays
NEW YORK (TNS) — Cameron Maybin had just 60 home runs through a 12-year career before putting on a Yankee uniform this season. Maybin had hit home runs in consecutive games just three times in his entire career previously, but now has hit one in four straight games for the first time in his career.
Maybin scored the go-ahead run in a fifth inning rally and put a charge into one down the left-field line in the seventh inning for needed insurance in a 6-3 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday night at Yankee Stadium. Maybin finished with three hits and two runs scored; his second straight game with both of those statistics.
The Yankees seemed in danger of snapping their team home run streak at 20 straight games before Maybin's seventh inning blast, his fifth of the season. In a lineup filled with sluggers, including newly acquired Edwin Encarnacion and the returning Giancarlo Stanton, it was Maybin, who may end up the odd man out from Aaron Judge's expected return this season, which provided the biggest hit of the night.
Before the Maybin home run, the Yankees proved that they could string together base hits. Five singles, including four in a row, helped the Yankees attack the Rays bullpen for three runs in the fifth inning to take a lead they would not relinquish.
Encarnacion, acquired Saturday in a trade with the Seattle Mariners, hit an eighth inning home run to right field for his first hit with the Yankees. It was his first home run in pinstripes.
and his 22nd of the season overall, leading the American League.
Attacking reliever Chaz Roe, the Yankees smacked singles with each of the first batters to face him. Trailing 2-1 at the time, eighth and ninth hitters Gleyber Torres and Maybin set the table for DJ LeMahieu, who hit a single for his 44th RBI to tie the game at two. The next batter, Luke Voit, laced a single to left field that scored Maybin and put the Yankees in front for the first time. Voit finished the night 3-for-3 with a double, a walk and that RBI, which gave the Yankees the lead for good. After Aaron Hicks struck out, a single by Gary Sanchez scored LeMahieu and extended the Yankees lead to 4-2.
Starter J.A. Happ labored through five innings, allowing two runs on seven hits while striking out three. Happ did not pitch his best, but still managed to scatter the Rays hits and keep the ball inside the park. It was the first outing for Happ without surrendering a home run since May 9, breaking a streak of seven straight starts.
The rested Yankees bullpen entered for the final four innings and did what they have done all season long. Adam Ottavino struck out a pair in the sixth inning to hold the lead. In the seventh, Tommy Kahnle walked his first batter before Travis d'Arnaud plated the run with an RBI double. Kahnle struck out a pair and left d'Arnaud stranded at second base to keep New York in front. Zack Britton entered in the eighth, allowing a leadoff hit before inducing ground balls to keep the Rays scoreless. Aroldis Chapman entered in the ninth and struck out all three batters he faced to earn his 19th save.
The Rays used Ryne Stanek as an opener, who allowed a run on a single to LeMahieu, who came around to score on a sacrifice fly by Sanchez in the first inning. Ryan Yarborough relieved Stanek and pitched three great innings, allowing just one hit. Yarborough was relieved by Roe, who surrendered the lead to the Yankees in the fifth and earned the loss.
Stanton was 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in his first action in pinstripes since the opening series of the season at the end of March. Stanton battled a series of injuries, starting with a biceps injury and ultimately ending with a calf strain.
Homer lifts White Sox
CHICAGO (TNS) — Rookie slugger Eloy Jimenez haunted his former organization in the most timely manner possible Tuesday night by hitting a two-run homer off closer Pedro Strop to vault the feisty White Sox to a 3-1 victory over the Cubs before a stunned but entertained crowd of 41,192 at Wrigley Field.
Jimenez, who was dealt from the Cubs to the Sox as part of a five-player trade involving veteran left-hander Jose Quintana in 2017, smacked a 1-0 pitch well over the wall in left field after James McCann had singled.
After allowing a leadoff home run to Kyle Schwarber, Sox starter Ivan Nova limited the Cubs to three hits through five-plus innings. Relievers Aaron Bummer, Jace Fry, Evan Marshall and Alex Colome allowed only two hits in the final four innings.
Cubs left-hander Cole Hamels became the 38th pitcher in major league history to strike out 2,500 when he whiffed Nova to start the third.
But Hamels' streak of consecutive scoreless innings dating to June 2 ended at 22 as the Sox tied the game in the sixth on a leadoff double by Leury Garcia, an infield hit by Tim Anderson and a throwing error by shortstop Javier Baez.
Much of the pregame buzz surrounded Jimenez. He was adored by his former teammates in the spring of 2017, and his 12 home runs and 27 RBIs in 47 games have validated his potential as well as the six-year, $43 million contract he received before playing his first major league game.
"He had a tremendous amount of pop," Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo recalled. "He was a good kid in the locker room.
"It's awesome that he was traded into the position he's in, the deal that he has and that he's able to play every day."
Jimenez was traded at the All-Star break in 2017 after playing only 42 games for Class A Myrtle Beach because of a right shoulder injury suffered in spring training.
Cubs manager Joe Maddon was impressed that Jimenez has worked hard enough to remain an outfielder.
"He's going to do it for a while in a very high-end way," Maddon said.
The Cubs didn't bow to Jimenez during his first at-bat at Wrigley in the first inning with the bases loaded. Hamels induced Jimenez to ground into an inning-ending double play, and Kyle Schwarber made the Sox pay by hitting the first pitch from Nova into the seats in left-center for a 1-0 lead.
Schwarber trotted around the bases without any fanfare after hitting his fourth career leadoff homer and his second in five games.
Maddon was asked before the game about how important is it for teams to believe they've turned the corner.
"In order to reach the long term, you've got to have those short-term goals met," Maddon said.
So would the Sox, who earned a split of their four-game weekend series against the perennial American League power Yankees, view their two-game matchup as another steppingstone to success?
"Playing against us, absolutely," Maddon said. "The group on the field has great potential," Maddon said. "They have speed and power too. I'm happy for their ascent. It's good for the city."
Maddon and the Cubs believe the Sox would love nothing more than to continue their rise at the expense of their crosstown rivals who get more publicity and have been more successful in recent years.
"At the end of the day, we're still playing baseball," said Sox pitcher Lucas Giolito, the best pitcher in town on the basis of his 10-1 record and 2.22 ERA. "It's not too much different. But the two teams in Chicago adds a little fire to it. It should be a fun couple of days for sure."
Giolito will face Cubs left-hander Jon Lester in the final game of this two-game series Wednesday night.
Tigers grind to win
PITTSBURGH (TNS) — This was not an aesthetically-pleasing baseball game, by any stretch. And the Tigers could not care less.
With a lot of help from the home team, the Tigers scratched across a run in the top of the eighth inning and snapped their four-game losing streak with a 5-4 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates Tuesday night.
The Tigers, who had squandered a 4-1 lead, took advantage of a walk, hit batsman and a botched double-play ball to score the go-ahead run.
With the bases loaded and one out, Pirates reliever Kyle Crick got Brandon Dixon to hit a ground ball to second baseman Adam Frazier. Instead of flipping the ball to his shortstop at second base to start the double-play, he tried to tag Christin Stewart, who was running to second.
He missed the tag and barely got Dixon at first. Nick Castellanos, who walked to start the inning, scored from third.
That left it up to the back end of the Tigers bullpen.
Things got mighty dicey in the eighth against Joe Jimenez, who needed 31 pitches to get through the inning. He gave up a hit, a hit batsman and a walk, but with the bases loaded and two outs, he got pinch-hitter Corey Dickerson to ground out to shortstop Niko Goodrum.
It wasn't any cleaner for closer Shane Greene in the ninth, either. He gave up a single and a walk. So with one out, the ever-dangerous Josh Bell strode to the plate. Bell had already homered in this game.
But what do you know, Greene got Bell to bounce into a 1-6-3 double-play.
The Tigers middle relievers didn't fare as well. The Pirates scored two unearned in the seventh inning to erase a 4-2 deficit, blighting a strong start by lefty Daniel Norris.
It started, as it so often does with an error. Right-handed reliever Victor Alcantara had a one-out ground ball bounce off him. He recovered in plenty of time, but his throw was low and Miguel Cabrera, making his first start at first base since the end of May 31, could not scoop it.
Jung Ho Kang ended up on second base, then went to third one a ground out. Manager Ron Gardenhire called on lefty Daniel Stumpf to face left-handed pinch-hitter Colin Moran. Moran singled to make it 4-3.
Gardenhire then went with right-hander Buck Farmer against right-handed Kevin Newman — triple, tie game.
The late-inning drama overshadowed Norris' resolute six-inning effort.
Composure isn't typically the first trait that comes up when describing Norris. Fiery, athletic, animated, competitive, absolutely.
Composure? That's usually a little farther down the list.
Not so on Tuesday night.
He allowed four hits, one a 419-foot home run by Bell (his 20th homer and 66th RBI) and got 10 ground-ball outs. Bell, who is slugging a Major League Baseball best .640 on off-speed pitches, hit a change-up with an exit velocity of 108 mph.
Flash forward to the sixth inning. Norris, protecting a two-run lead, was over 80 pitches and nearing the end of his night. He got ahead of Bell with a couple of 90-mph fastballs and showed him a slider and a curveball for good measure.
But with the count even, Norris, undaunted by what happened in the third inning, challenged him with another change-up. He struck him out swinging. Norris got five swings and misses total, four of them with the change-up.
Norris was in one other jam, in the fifth. Catcher Elias Diaz, who threw out two Tigers' base-stealers, singled and scored on a triple by Kang. Kang hit a missile into right-center. Center fielder JaCoby Jones made a valiant, all-out dive for the ball but couldn't get to it.
Norris, though, didn't rattle. He got Adam Frazier on a shallow fly to center, struck out pinch-hitter Jose Osuna and after a walk to Newman, he got Bryan Reynolds to ground out.
He left after six innings with the two-run lead intact.
The Tigers offense was contained to the third and fourth innings.
It's a wonder Castellanos' hands weren't bleeding, given how much extra batting practice he took before the game. But whatever he did seemed to work. After walking the first inning, he laced a two-strike double to the gap in right-center field in the third inning to score the Tigers' first run.
He came around to score on Cabrera's single, putting the Tigers up 2-1. It was Cabrera's 1,665th career RBI, putting him two back of Sammy Sosa for 27th all-time.
Cabrera started the game at first base, and since this is the Tigers last game in a National League park, perhaps for the last time this season.
"He didn't want to sit two games out and just pinch-hit," Gardenhire said before the game. "He had a day off Sunday and we were off Monday, so this was the perfect time to do it. We'll see how he feels tomorrow, but we'll probably let him sit tomorrow."
The Tigers were gifted two more runs in the fourth inning. After a lead-off single by Dixon, Harold Castro put down a sacrifice bunt. Pirates pitcher Mitch Keller threw it away, putting runners on second and third.
John Hicks followed with a routine ground ball to third (exit velocity off the bat 78 mph) that went through third baseman Kang, scoring two runs.
Mets rout Braves
ATLANTA (TNS) — If it's possible to have a must-win game in June, this one felt like it fit for the Mets. It seemed like they thought so, too, because they delivered a blowout like the one Atlanta handed to them on Monday.
The Mets drilled the Braves, 10-2, on Tuesday at SunTrust Park, where Pete Alonso and Jacob deGrom starred. Perhaps this taste of success will boost morale and lead to something else. Maybe it is just another event in the cycle of inconsistency for New York this season.
Alonso hit doubles in his first two at-bats — one drove in a run — and blasted a two-run home run in his third as he eventually notched his first career four-hit game. He finished 4 for 4 with three RBIs and two walks.
With 10 strikeouts over 8 1/3 innings, DeGrom tallied his fourth double-digit strikeout game of the season, the 36th of his career. He allowed back-to-back solo shots to Freddie Freeman and Josh Donaldson in the ninth inning, and while those ended his night, they were unimportant because the game was basically over by that point.
The Mets, now 35-38, needed this after Monday's blowout. Their situation perhaps looked as bleak as the forecast — thunderstorms were projected — because the Braves had won 10 of 11. Plus, Atlanta sent Julio Teheran to the mound, and he came into this one having posted a 2.35 over 26 games against the Mets.
Led by Alonso, New York tagged Teheran for six runs over four innings. Four were scored in the third. After Alonso drove in a run, Michael Conforto doubled another home. One more scored on a groundout before Amed Rosario punctuated the explosive frame with an RBI single.
DeGrom, meanwhile, kept dealing. With a strikeout of Dansby Swanson in the fourth inning, the righty jumped up to seventh on the Mets' all-time strikeout list.
Knocking out Teheran early could also give New York an advantage in Wednesday's series finale because the Braves' bullpen had to piece together a game that already looked to be out of hand — though you never really know with this Mets bullpen.
Speaking of, there was a shake-up before the game. The Mets placed Jeurys Familia on the injured list with a Bennett lesion, which is like a bone spur. They also demoted Drew Gagnon to Triple-A Syracuse. It remains to be seen whether those moves will bolster the bullpen, but on Tuesday, New York didn't have to find out.
Mets manager Mickey Callaway also announced that outfielder Brandon Nimmo would be shut down for a month.
The offense kept adding to the lead. The Mets scored two in the sixth before Conforto left the yard in the eighth to make it 9-0. For good measure, Jeff McNeil sent a solo shot into the seats in the ninth.
Tacking on runs is something New York has struggled with at times this season, so even if the insurance didn't matter on Tuesday, it was still encouraging. The Braves used three relievers after Teheran exited.
Up and down, up and down. It's been the theme for the 2019 Mets.
The Mets haven't been able to find any consistency this season. They've had a few different low points, and Monday felt so brutal that it seemed like it could have snowballed into a situation much worse. But they showed some fight a day later as they look to stay afloat.
Game postponed
WASHINGTON (TNS) — Washington Nationals ace Max Scherzer broke his nose, the team announced Tuesday, but a CT scan revealed no further damage. Scherzer was taken off-site to undergo tests after he was hit in the face by a ball that came off his bat while he was bunting during batting practice before the team's scheduled game against the Philadelphia Phillies at Nationals Park.
Following a two-hour rain delay, the game was postponed for the second straight night and will be made up as part of a day-night doubleheader Sept. 24. The teams were already set for a split doubleheader Wednesday after Monday's game was wiped out by rain.
It is uncertain whether Scherzer will make his scheduled start Wednesday.
Scherzer's face was bloodied as he headed toward the dugout following the incident. He was soon spotted walking through the clubhouse, in the direction of the trainer's room, with a towel pressed against his face.
Washington's rotation was already up in the air for the rest of this rain-shortened series and is now even less clear following a second consecutive postponement.
Patrick Corbin, originally scheduled to start Monday, then set to start Tuesday, is now slated to pitch Wednesday in the first game of the doubleheader. The Nationals' starter for the second game remained to be determined as of Tuesday night.
Stephen Strasburg had been scheduled to face the Phillies on Thursday, in what is now the finale of a three-game series, but even that can't be considered a certainty now. Scherzer could pitch as soon as Wednesday if team doctors deem it safe. The Nationals could also go with Erick Fedde or Austin Voth.
Voth, who is 3-5 with a 4.40 ERA in 12 starts for Class AAA Fresno, was traveling to Washington on Tuesday night, according to a person with knowledge of the situation, but he doesn't necessarily have to start Wednesday.
Because of the doubleheader, the Nationals don't need to option a player to make room for Voth on the 25-man roster. And since he will be here for the games either way, he could be used as an extra arm if the Nationals decide to go with Corbin, Fedde or Scherzer (health permitting).
Voth's strikeout rate has risen considerably in Class AAA. The 26-year-old right-hander would have almost certainly been announced as a starter if Scherzer was able to pitch Wednesday and Corbin had appeared Tuesday. The weather and Scherzer's broken nose are complicating factors.
Washington did get some good news on the injury front before Tuesday's postponement. Ryan Zimmerman, who is still recovering from plantar fasciitis in his right foot, ran the bases and is expected to do so again Wednesday. This is his last step before the Nationals can schedule a rehab assignment, which could come soon, barring a setback. Zimmerman went on the injured list April 28 and has called this recovery one of the more frustrating processes of his career.
"That's it; he's done everything," Manager Dave Martinez said when asked whether running the bases is Zimmerman's final hurdle. "And he looks good. He ran straight. Had him run uphill, because I guess that's a huge thing for your plantar fasciitis, and he did that and was OK."
Pads win
SAN DIEGO (TNS) — Logan Allen's change-up took several weeks to round into shape. All the growing pains that followed after a disastrous spring had cast him into the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League proved necessary developments for a pitcher who had been largely fast-tracked through the San Diego Padres' minor league system.
"Honestly, if I did get that spot out of spring training, I would have been crushed," the 22-year-old Allen said in the home dugout at Triple-A El Paso a few days before his call-up. "I was not ready."
He looked ready Tuesday.
The Padres' seventh-ranked prospect celebrated his big league debut with seven shutout innings and even his first hit, the rally-starter in a 4-1 win over the NL Central-leading Milwaukee Brewers at Petco Park.
The two teams were locked in a 0-0 game in the fifth when the right-handed-hitting Allen flipped a 96 mph fastball from Brandon Woodruff into right field. There, Christian Yelich threw the souvenir toward the Padres dugout as Allen marked the occasion with his first sugarcane "chop." Later, he scampered home with the game's first run on Mike Moustakas' throwing error as his parents, Dale and Norman Allen, cheered in the stands along with 14 friends and family members who flew in for the occasion. Big brother Philip, the source of Allen's inspiration during his climb to the majors, watched from home alongside five nurses at the family's home in Asheville, N.C.
From the second-level owner's suite behind home plate, a more striking figure clapped with approval: professional wrestler, actor and sometimes rapper John Cena.
The two struck a friendship after a chance meeting at a Tampa restaurant two Januarys ago and a friendly wager was drawn up: Allen owed Cena $1 if he did not reach the majors.
More than two years later, Allen warmed up on the Petco Park mound to the tune of Cena's "The Time is Now" and then lived up to his billing as one of the best pitching prospects from the game's deepest farm system.
He struck out five batters, walked two, scattered three hits and exited after seven frames innings with a 4-0 lead.
The change-up that evaded him during an awful big league spring training (12.54 ERA) and early into an up-and-down stay in the Pacific Coast League (5.15 ERA) fetched the first two strikeouts of his career in back-to-back at-bats — Jesus Aguilar and Orlando Arcia — in the third inning. Three of his ground-ball outs produced 10 double plays, none bigger than the one that got Ryan Braun to bounce to shortstop to end a sixth inning that began with the first two Brewers reaching base.
Allen fetched the first out when he got Yelich — the reigning NL MVP and the favorite to repeat — to fly out to right. After Fernando Tatis Jr. started the inning-ending double play, Allen unleashed a ferocious fist pump as he bounced off the mound.
The next inning, given a 4-0 lead on Francisco Mejia's two-run homer, Allen struck out the side and left to a standing ovation — including one from Cena in Allen's No. 54 jersey — after throwing 56 of his 90 pitches for strikes.
Allen was even in line for the win because he singled off Woodruff (6 IP, 4 ER) in the fifth and scored when Moustakas, after snaring a liner to third off Eric Hosmer's bat, threw wildly trying to double-up Tatis at first base.
The throw sailed over Aguilar's outstretched glove, allowing Allen to score from third. Manny Machado's ensuing ground-rule double opened up a 2-0 lead and Meja's sixth-inning homer doubled the Padres' advantage.
Mejia was hitting .365/.411/.746 with four homers in 18 games at Triple-A El Paso, where he had caught several of Allen's starts. He was called up Monday and, with Allen on the mound, started Tuesday in place of Austin Hedges, whose batting line has shrunk to .185/.251/.315 through 51 games of his fifth season with the Padres.
The Brewers' lone run crossed the plate in the eighth on a wild pitch after Trey Wingenter walked Aguilar to start the inning. Kirby Yates turned in a scoreless ninth to convert his MLB-leading 26th save.

Heat is defined as the form of energy that is transferred between two systems (or a system and its surroundings) by virtue of a temperature difference. That is, an energy interaction is heat if and only if it occurs because of a temperature difference. Heat is energy in transition. It is only recognized as it crosses the boundary of a system. A process during which there is no heat transfer is called an adiabatic process. There are two ways a process can be adiabatic: either the system is well-insulated so that no heat flows across the boundary, or the system and surroundings are both at the same temperature (zero temperature difference). Heat transfer per unit mass, q, of a system is defined as: (3.2.1) The total heat transferred to/from a pure substance between states 1 and 2 can be expressed in terms of the heat transfer rate as: (3.2.2) . . where Q is the heat transfer rate per unit time. For constant Q, the equation above becomes ...

Very Important Sign Convention:
Since heat is a directional quantity (it can be lost or gained), it is very important to establish a sign convention! Heat transfer to a system is positive and heat transfer from a system is negative!

Heat can be transferred in three different ways: conduction, convection, and radiation. Below is a brief description to familiarize you with the basic mechanisms of heat transfer. , Conduction Heat Transfer: The transfer of energy from the more energetic particles of a substance to the adjacent less energetic ones as a result of interactions between the particles. . Conduction takes place in solids, liquids, and gases. The rate of heat conduction, Q cond , is given by Fourier's Law of heat conduction: (3.2.4) where k is a constant of proportionality called the thermal conductivity and A is the area normal to the direction of heat transfer. Fourier's law indicates that the rate of heat conduction in a direction is proportional to the temperature gradient in that direction.
Have you ever wondered why sitting in a cold steel chair feels colder than sitting in a wooden chair at the same temperature? The cold sensation you feel when sitting in the chair is due to heat being conducted from your body to the chair. The thermal conductivities of carbon steel and wood are, respectively, 60.5 and 0.17 W/(m K). This means you lose 350 times more heat from your body by sitting in the steel chair as opposed to the wooden chair, initially !! , Convection Heat Transfer: The mode of energy transfer between a solid surface and an adjacent liquid or gas which is in motion, and it involves the combined effects of conduction and fluid motion. The faster the fluid motion, the greater the convection. In the absence of bulk fluid motion, the heat transfer between the solid and fluid occur via conduction. There are two specific kinds of convection: v Forced convection: occurs when the fluid is forced to flow over a surface by external means such as a fan, blower, or the wind. v Free (or natural) convection: occurs if fluid motion is caused by buoyancy forces induced by density differences due to the variation of temperature in the fluid. This is how a baseboard heater works. Heat transfer processes involving change of phase of a fluid are considered convection processes (including boiling and condensation).
ENGS205--Introductory Thermodynamics
page 29
. The rate of heat transfer by convection, Q conv , is determined from Newton's Law of Cooling , which is expressed as:
. Q conv = hA(T s - T f )
where h is the convection heat transfer coefficient, A is the surface area through which heat transfer takes place, Ts is the surface temperature, and Tf is the bulk fluid temperature away from the surface. , Radiation Heat Transfer: The energy emitted by matter in the form of electromagnetic waves (or photons) as a result of the changes in the electronic configurations of the atoms or molecules. Unlike conduction and convection, the transfer of energy by radiation requires no intervening medium. In heat transfer, we're interested in thermal radiation, or radiation emitted by bodies because of their temperature. Thermal radiation is a volumetric phenomenon, and all solids, liquids, and gases, emit, absorb, and transmit thermal radiation to varying degrees. For opaque solids, thermal radiation is a surface phenomenon and their maximum emission of radiant energy is given by the Stefan-Boltzmann law:
. Q emit,max = AT 4 s
where A is the surface area and = 5.67 x 10-8 W/(m2 K4 ) is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant. The idealized surface which emits radiation at this maximum rate is called a blackbody. The radiation of real surfaces is less than radiation emitted by a blackbody at the same temperature and is expressed as:
. Q emit =
AT 4 s
1 is where is the emissivity of the surface. The property emissivity, whose value is in the range 0 a measure of how closely a surface approximates a blackbody for which = 1. Another important property of a surface is called the absorptivity, , which is the fraction of radiant energy incident on a surface which is absorbed by the surface. A blackbody absorbs all incident radiation (=1). In general, both and depend on temperature and wavelength of radiation. Kirchoff's law of radiation states that the emissivity and absorptivity of a surface are equal at the same temperature and wavelength. In most practical applications, the temperature and wavelength dependencies of surface emissivity and absorptivity is ignored and the average emissivity is taken as the average absorptivity. In general, the determination of the net rate of heat transfer by radiation is a very complicated matter since it depends on the properties of the surfaces, the orientation relative to each other, and the intervening medium. However, the following simple equation is used to get a ballpark figure as to the net radiative transfer between a system and its surroundings:
. Q rad,net =
A T 4 - T4 surr s
where Ts is the surface temperature and Tsurr is the temperature of the surroundings. All temperatures used in radiation calculations must be absolute!
In the winter, people in a room with the curtains open may experience a faint chilly feeling. The window glass separating the people in the room and the cold surroundings outside is semi-transparent. That is, the windows can partially transmit thermal radiation. This causes people in the room to radiate to the surroundings, producing that uncomfortable feeling! (Drawing the curtains should alleviate this problem).

3.3 Work
Work, like heat is an energy interaction between a system and its surroundings. More specifically, work is the energy transfer associated with a force acting through a distance( e.g. rotating shaft, rising piston, etc ...). The work done per unit mass, w, of a system is defined as: (3.3.1) . The work done per unit time is called power and is denoted by W.
Very Important Sign Convention:
The sign convention used by your text asserts work done by a system as being positive and work done on a system as being negative.
Work done by system
Work done on system
Heat transfer and work are interactions between a system and its surroundings, and there are many similarities between the two: , Both are recognized at the boundaries of the system as they cross them. That is, both heat transfer and work are boundary phenomena. , Systems possess energy, but not heat transfer or work. That is, heat transfer and work are transient phenomena. , Both are associated with a process, not a state. Unlike properties, heat transfer or work has no meaning at a state. , Both are path functions (i.e. their magnitudes depend on the path followed during a process as well as the end states). Path functions have inexact differentials designated by the symbol . Therefore, a differential amount of heat or work is represented by Q or W , respectively, instead of dQ or dW. Properties (like temperature, pressure, specific volume, etc ...), however, are point functions (i.e., they depend on the state only, and not on how a system reaches that state), and they have exact differentials designated by the symbol d. The work done on or by a system between two states is represented as W 12 , not W! The same goes for heat.

Electrical Work:
The flow of electrons, usually through a wire, across a system boundary forms the basis for electrical work. When N coulombs of electrons move through a potential difference V, the electrical work done is:
W e = VN
which can also be expressed in the rate form as:
. W e = VI
. where W e is the electrical power and I is the electrical current (usually measured in amperes, A).
. We = VI
In general, both V and I vary with time, and the electrical work done during a time interval t is:
W e = VIdt ... and for constant V and I during t ... W e = VI t
3.4 Mechanical Forms of Work
There are several ways of doing work, each in some way related to a force F acting through a distance s ...
W = Fds ... or, for a constant force F ... W = Fs
There are two requirements for a work interaction between a system and its surroundings to exist: , There must be a force acting on the boundary. , The boundary must move. Some important forms of mechanical work are listed below ...
ENGS205--Introductory Thermodynamics
page 29
Moving Boundary Work:
One form of work frequently encountered in practice is associated with the expansion or compression of a gas in a piston-cylinder device. During this process, part of the boundary (the inner face of the piston) moves back and forth (as in an automobile engine). Therefore, the expansion and compression work is often called the moving boundary work , or boundary work.
The boundary work between two states is the area under the P-V diagram, or ...
W b = PdV
... or, for an isobaric process in a piston-cylinder device ...
Wb = P V Polytropic Process:
During expansion and compression processes of real gases, pressure and volume are often related by PVn = C, where n and C are constants. A process of this kind is a polytropic process. From Eq. (3.4.2), the boundary work is ... (3.4.4) ... and for ideal gases (PV=mRT), this equation can also be written as: (3.4.5)
Question to think about!
In the boundary work expressions given above (Eqs. (3.4.4) and (3.4.5)), what happens to the boundary work when the constant n is equal to 1?
ENGS205--Introductory Thermodynamics
page 29
Gravitational Work:
Gravitational work can be defined as the work done by or against a gravitational force field. The work required to raise a body from level z1 to level z2 is: (3.4.6) This expression is the change in potential energy! Gravitational work is positive if it is done by the system (as the system falls) and negative if done on the system (as the system is raised).
Accelerational Work:
The work associated with the change in velocity of a system is called accelerational work. By combining Newton's second law (F=ma) and Eq. (3.4.1), the following accelerational work expression is obtained: (3.4.7) This expression is recognized as being the change in kinetic energy of mass m! As always, this form of work is positive if done by the system and negative if done on the system.
Shaft Work:
Energy transmission via a rotating shaft is known as shaft work. The shaft work generated by applying a constant torque for n revolutions of the shaft is given by:
W sh = 2 n
... and the power transmitted through the shaft is:
. . W sh = 2 n
. where n is the number of revolution per unit time.
Spring Work:
The work performed when displacing a spring from its equilibrium position is known as spring work. The spring work is obtained by combining Hooke's Law (F=kx) and Eq. (3.4.1) giving the following expression for a linear (k is constant) elastic spring ...
W spring = 1 k x 2 - x 2 1 2 2
where x1 and x2 are initial and final displacements of the spring measured relative to its equilibrium position.
ENGS205--Introductory Thermodynamics
page 29
3.5 The First Law of Thermodynamics
The first law of thermodynamics , a simple re-statement of the conservation of energy principle for a closed system or control mass, may be expressed as follows:
Net increase (or decrease in the total energy of the system
Net energy transfer to (or from) the system as heat and work where: Q = net heat transfer across system boundaries Q = W = net work done in all forms (W =
Q in - Q out
W out - W in )
E = net change in total energy of system ( E = E 2 - E 1 )
As discussed previously, the total energy of a system is considered to be comprised of three parts: internal energy U, kinetic energy KE, and potential energy PE. The change in total energy E is:
U = m(u 2 - u 1 )
For stationary closed systems , the changes in kinetic and potential energies are negligible, and the first-law relation reduces to:
Other Forms of the First-Law Relation:
... on a unit-mass basis: ... on a time rate basis: ... in differential forms:
q-w = e
Q - W = dE q - w = de
(3.5.6) (3.5.7)
For a cyclic process, the initial and final states are identical (E=0). Therefore,

3.7 Specific Heats
The specific heat is defined as the energy required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by one degree. In general, this energy depends on how the process is executed. In thermodynamics, we are interested in two kinds of specific heats: , specific heat at constant volume Cv : the energy required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by one degree as the volume is maintained constant.
3.13 kJ V = constant m = 1 kg
C = 3.13 kJ/(kg K) v
, specific heat at constant pressure Cp : the energy required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by one degree as the pressure is maintained constant.
P = constant m = 1 kg Cp = 5.2 kJ/(kg k) 5.2 kJ Important Point!
The value of Cp will always be greater than Cv for a pure substance because the constant pressure system is allowed to expand. Extra energy must be supplied to the system to account for the expansion (boundary) work. Consider the differential form of the first-law (on a per-mass basis) ...
q - w other - w b = de
ENGS205--Introductory Thermodynamics
page 29
For a constant volume process (wb =0) with no work interactions, the following must be true ...
q = C v dT = du ... or ... C v =
u T
For a constant pressure process (wb =Pdv) with no work interactions, we have ...
q = C p dT = du + Pdv = dh
... or ...
Cp =
h T
Note that Cv is the change in specific internal energy u per unit change in temperature at constant volume and Cp is the change in specific enthalpy h per unit change in temperature at constant pressure. Generally, specific heats vary with temperature. That is to say, the amount of energy it takes to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a pure substance by degree (for constant volume & pressure processes) varies at different body temperatures. However, this difference is usually not very large. Specific heat are sometimes given on a molar basis, and are denoted by C v and C p . Specific heats are properties of pure substances and their values can be found in engineering tables.
3.8 Internal Energy, Enthalpy, and Specific Heats of Ideal Gases
It has been demonstrated experimentally (and proven theoretically) that the internal energy and enthalpy of an ideal gas is a function of its temperature only. Thus for ideal gases, the partial derivatives in Eqs. (3.7.2) and (3.7.3) can be replaced with ordinary derivatives and we get:
du = C v (T )dT dh = C p (T )dT
u = u 2 - u 1 = C v (T )dT
1 2
h = h 2 - h 1 = C p (T )dT
To carry out these integrations, we need to have relations for Cv and Cp as a function of temperature. At low pressures, all real gases approach ideal-gas behavior, and therefore their specific heats depend on temperature only. The specific heats of real gases at low pressures are called ideal-gas specific heats , or zero-pressure specific heats , and are often denoted Cv0 and Cp0 . These zero-pressure specific heat data are available in the Appendix of your text as a function of temperature and can be used for real gases as long as they don't deviate from ideal-gas behavior significantly (check the compressibility factor! ). Another way of evaluating the change in specific internal energy/enthalpy is to refer to tabulated data. Tables A17-A20 in the Appendix contain molar internal energy/enthalpy data for air, O2 , N2 , CO2 , H2 , and H2O. And yet another way involves finding an average zero-pressure specific heat value (look at Table A-2b in the Appendix) for an average temperature of (T1 + T2)/2. Specific internal energies/enthalpies are then computed using the following formulas:
u 2 - u 1 = C v0,av (T 2 - T 1 ) h 2 - h 1 = C p0,av (T 2 - T 1 )
(3.7.6) (3.7.7)
ENGS205--Introductory Thermodynamics
page 29
Specific-Heat Relations of Ideal Gases:
For ideal gases, the following relationships hold:
C p = C v + R ... and ... C p = C v + R u
where R and Ru are the gas constant and universal gas constant, respectively. The specific heat ratio k is defined as ... (3.7.9)
3.9 Internal Energy, Enthalpy, and Specific Heats of Solids and Liquids
A substance whose specific volume (or density) is constant is called an incompressible substance. The specific volumes of solids and liquids essentially remain constant during a process and are usually regarded as being incompressible (e.g. hydraulics). It can be mathematically shown that the constant-volume and constant-pressure specific heats for incompressible substances are identical. Therefore,
Cp = Cv = C
and the change in specific internal energy u of an incompressible substance is:
du = C(T )dT
u = u 2 - u 1 = C(T )dT
C av (T 2 - T 1 )
The enthalpy change of incompressible substances (solids or liquids) during a process can be determined from the definition of enthalpy (h=u+Pv) to be:
h 2 - h 1 = (u 2 - u 1 ) + v(P 2 - P 1 )
The last term of Eq. (3.9.3) is usually very small and can be neglected.

Car insurance for drivers without a license
Among your options to consider are non-owners and SR-22 policies.
Last updated:
Although a special situation, there are several ways you can insure your car without a license. But depending on the reason, you may find your premium above average for suspended licenses or teen drivers.
Our top pick: The General
Basic, affordable coverage for almost any driver, including drivers with past claims or SR-22.
- Affordable coverage
- High risk drivers okay
- Instant online access
- Available in 46 states
- Affordable coverage
- Instant online access
- SR-22 support
Why do I need car insurance if I don't have a license?
Although an interesting situation to find yourself in, it's possible that you may need insurance on a car you own but aren't licensed to drive. Several situations where this might occur are:
- You have a suspended license. You may need to keep insurance while clearing up your record.
- You bought a car for others to drive. You might not intend to drive yourself but need transportation for family members to use.
- You bought the car before getting a license. You found an epic deal on a vehicle before you got to the DMV.
- You have medical reasons for staying unlicensed. Health problems can sometimes disqualify you from driving, but you may still need others to drive you around.
How do I get car insurance without a license?
You might throw customer service for a loop if you say you want a policy without a license. However, you can still get insured if you have a plan. Consider these methods of getting insurance without a license:
- Get an SR-22 policy. If you have a suspended license, you can hold your own policy, but may need to file an SR-22 with the state. You can file this proof-of-insurance document by having your insurer submit the necessary forms for you.
- Apply as the policyholder and exclude yourself. For those simply without a license, some insurers may allow you to start a policy under your name and then exclude yourself from getting coverage. That means the insurance company won't pay for any damage incurred if you're at the wheel.
- Place the primary driver on the title. Typically, companies like to see the car owner apply for the insurance policy. If you have trouble getting insurance, you could opt to put the car's regular driver on the title. You may still need to exclude yourself from getting coverage.
- Allow the primary driver to get insured. Although not a typical option, you could find a company that allows the primary driver to get a policy without owning the vehicle. Non-owner coverage could fit this situation, but you may need other coverage not typical for a non-owner policy like collision and medical payments coverage.
Compare car insurance for drivers without a license
How much does car insurance cost without a license?
The rate for the average driver is about $1,300 per year. Drivers with a suspended license might see a rate increase, depending on the reason for your license suspension. For example, your car insurance could increase by $1,248 per year after a DUI conviction. Other convictions might not increase your rate much at all.
Because you may not be driving the vehicle, your primary driver's record might weigh in more here. As long as that driver has a standard amount of risk, you could expect standard rates or better for a pristine record.
How can I save on car insurance without a license?
Even if you don't drive, you can still take the wheel when it comes to saving on your premium. You'll find several ways to do that:
- Shop providers. Compare quotes side by side so you know you're getting the best coverage for your situation.
- Go for a spotless driving record. No matter what's happened in the past, you can always press forward with safe driving habits.
- Take safety courses. You might receive a discount for completing approved driver training.
- Get a low mileage rate. It's likely that you may not drive as much as everyone else. If that's the case, let your insurer know your annual mileage to lower that rate.
- Consider telematics. Sign up for your company's program to track mileage and safe driving habits, which could lead to a steep discount.
- Encourage student drivers. If you have teen or college age drivers, encourage good grades for extra savings. You could also get lower rates during school season if your student goes away from home.
- Get as many other discounts as possible. Rack up all the discounts you're eligible for, such as automatic payments, safety features and bundled policies.
- Lower coverage if you can. You might want broad coverage for physical damage and liability, but you could rethink add-ons like better car replacement if they're not needed.
- Pick family-friendly cars. Give insurance companies an easy reason to lower rates with cars they consider less risky, such as sedans and minivans.
What kind of coverage should I get without a license?
If you plan to let someone drive your vehicle, consider getting all the standard coverage for wide protection. However, you might opt for a bare-bones policy if your car sits in the garage most of the time.
- Property damage and bodily injury liability. These are required by state—you'll need liability even for minimal driving.
- Uninsured/underinsured motorist. This helps you take care of expenses if another driver doesn't have insurance. Some states require it.
- Personal injury protection (PIP). Keeps drivers or passengers protected from expensive medical bills and income loss due to injuries. You may not need this coverage if you have solid health insurance, unless it's required by your state.
- SR-22. Not technically a coverage, those with a suspended license may need to add this filing to your account. Adding SR-22 filing lets your insurer know to send proof of insurance to the state.
- Loan or lease gap. Helps you pay off your loan or lease if your car gets totaled. Some lenders may require it.
Case study: Car insurance without a driver's license
Melanie has a medical issue that keeps her from driving. But she also has two young drivers in her household, ages 15 and 17, who can't apply for their own policies because they're younger than 18. Melanie is the policyholder on the car insurance, but she excluded herself from getting coverage.
To keep rates down for insuring teen drivers, Melanie applied for a telematics-based policy, which highlights her teen's safe driving skills. She has also ensured eligibility for good student, accident-free and safety course completion discounts.
What should I watch out for?
This special situation does include a few caveats when getting coverage:
- Excluding yourself. Keep in mind that you can't legally drive a car without insurance. If you do receive your license, you might have to update your policy to include yourself.
- Lapsed insurance. Failing to renew a policy could result in penalties, especially if you have a suspended license, since you're under closer scrutiny by the state.
- Coverage needs. When opting for less coverage due to low mileage driving, consider your ability to pay for your car repairs or replacement if an accident occurs.
Bottom line
There are some situations where you might need car insurance without a license. You have several options for getting insured without paying more than necessary. Finding discounts and shopping multiple providers could help you save as much as possible.

The genus Vriesea Lindl. comprises about 290 species distributed into two sections: V. sect. Vriesea and V. sect. Xiphion. The genus is recognized as polyphyletic and is historically associated with Tillandsia L., differing from it mainly due to the presence of petal appendages. Here we focus our efforts on the Vriesea taxa in its main center of diversity in southeastern Brazil that are considered to constitute a monophyletic group based on molecular analyses as well as a total evidence approach. We present a morphological description of the species from the Brazilian lineage, and the taxonomic history of the genus. We based our results on extensive bibliographic research and morphological analyses of herbarium material and living specimens, as well as illustrations of the main taxonomic characteristics of the Brazilian lineage of the genus.

Recruiting the best employees is costly and time consuming, especially for small businesses. Once you have found your great employees, it is in your best interest to make sure they stick around. And this turnover is expensive for so many reasons, not the least of which is the damage to employee morale and productivity. One of the main reasons employers lose great employees during their first three to six months is due to a less than stellar onboarding experience.
A recent article from Entrepreneur gives four questions you can ask yourself to determine if your onboarding process is broken.
1- Do you new hires have the tools they need for success?
Being a new employee is stressful and that stress is magnified when you have no idea how to get the things you need to successfully do your job. A survey done by TinyPulse found that 24 percent of employees said they were less productive because they lacked the tools they needed.
2-Are their goals clearly defined?
One of the biggest motivators for employees is a clear understanding of what is expected of them. Helping new employees set clear goals and checking win with them regarding their progress helps new hires hit the ground running. It also keeps them motivated, productive and engaged.
3-Do new hires understand the organization?
Having a basic understanding of the workplace culture, mission, values, organizational structure and history helps new employees fit in. It may be surprising how many organizations miss this step, but companies that do this well, see high levels of employee engagement and low levels of turnover.
4- Have they become part of the team?
Employees are more likely to be engaged and productive when they develop friendships with their co-workers. Your onboarding process should help them integrate into the company culture and provide plenty of opportunities for social interaction. One way to get this rolling is through a mentorship program.
If the answer to any of one of these questions is "no" for your organization, it may be time to revamp your onboarding process. Our Onboarding Toolkit is a free resource for employers full to tips, tricks and templates that can be customized for your business. And if you need help getting started, our HR Advisors can point you in the right direction.

You'll never have to hem and haw about whether something will be useful later, whether you should keep it because it's a 'good shirt' or was expensive or any of that! Note that 'sparking joy' applies perfectly well to items that aren't exactly thrilling but that serve us well. For instance, the cotton camisole that doesn't rise up and is just the right length — that sure sparks joy for me! Socks without holes spark a lot more joy than socks with holes. You get the picture.

The webbing clothes moth is the most common fabric moth. The adult is gold with reddish-golden hairs on the top of its head. A row of golden hairs fringes its wings, which have a span of about 1/2 inch. Because these moths are weak flyers that aren't attracted to lights, you'll usually find them close to the infested items, such as in a dark area of the closet. nude girls

If you know how to sew you can make your own clothes and do clothing alterations. With the availability of inexpensive clothes and the cost of fabric, you may not save a lot of money by sewing trousers, for example. The big advantage to sewing your own clothes is that you can let your creativity go wild, creating your own styles and fabric combinations. A learn-to-sew DVD can teach you how to make clothing that fits great and shows your individuality.dresses for less Adult only

"I want to hear him espouse some conservative values and principles," Mary Matalin speaking of Senator John McCain.
Are you kidding me, my favorite Republican spokeswoman? Have you lost your conservative mind?
John McCain, unlike Mitt Romney, has been 100% pro-life since his first moments in public office way back into 1982. He has 7 of his own children – two of whom are adopted.
John McCain respects the Image and Likeness of God within each human being – as a POW he doesn't condone torture.
John McCain is pro-immigrant without being soft on border control. He realizes, like amnesty-granting Ronald Reagan, that Mexican Americans (and those who want to be Mexican Americans) are a vital core piece of the American economy, culture, and institution.
John McCain is committed to seeing a victory in Iraq by continuing the training of Iraqi security forces until the country can secure its own safety and freedom.
John McCain has consistently protected the Second Ammendment.
John McCain does not favor government spending that cannot be backed up right now, including past tax cuts that will leave our government with a greater deficit.
John McCain is a man of sincere faith, who supports the sincere faith of others. He is quoted as saying that he believes there is a higher purpose for his life, but that "that doesn't mean God wants me to be president." His ego has been left behind. He does not claim the direct line to heaven.
John McCain is a war hero who willingly sacrificed his life for his country as young man during the Vietnam War. He never once denied his nation, offered secrets that would injure our attempts in the Vietnam War, and he relied on his deep faith in God to sustain him. As a Catholic, this speaks deeply to me. I can stand back, look at his life and say, "Here is a man who was spared for a purpose. Here is a man who has stood by his principles even when it has cost him votes and support from his own party. Here is a man who is his own man – a man like Ronald Reagan."
Listen up, Republicans, this nation does not need another Reagan. His purpose was for the eight years that he served us in office. His purpose was to take down the Soviet Empire from within, to redirect America on a path to economic security and a new found optimism. Ronald Reagan would tell us to stop evoking his ghost and look to the man that would have his nod and vote today if the Gipper was still around to cast it.
America, stop looking for Ronald Reagan and start voting for the man that Reagan woudl have voted for.

Free Range Kids 7
Sex Differences in Spatial Competence: the ability of young children to map 'primed' unfamiliar environments
Spatial Ability and Home-Range Size: Examining the Relationship in Western Men and Women
3 comments:
This is sad; when I was a kid the only rule was be home by dark. In the summer we' d play kick the can til late at night. the rule then was to stay in our cul de sac. Both parents worked so we would also do laundry and start dinner. Plus the usual homework, etc. They assign too much homework now for this to happen. Also, it is difficult to be to be the only free range kid. It is safer and more fun if there are many kids.ReplyDelete
@LHC That's the crux of the problem. The more kids on the street, the safer the kids. Not only do you have more eyes on the street, but you also spread out the (very low) risk from stranger abductions among more subjects. Even with fewer kids out and about, they are still relatively safer than kids in the 1970s.ReplyDelete
I'm not surprised. I had far more roaming freedom over a larger space than my husband did in his childhood, and I am much better at making mental maps of places I've been and mentally converting 2-dimensional drawings to 3 dimensions.ReplyDelete

This type of collar is called a Pilgrim collar.
I think that maybe if you're doing something very Avant-garde in your designs and with
your collection, this could work to juxtapose against something that's real edgy. It can
make the whole look be like a balance of opposing forces. But a Pilgrim collar, is a Pilgrim
collar, is a Pilgrim collar. We just expect it to be black and white. He should have some
sort of turkey in his hand and a cornucopia overflowing with fruit. Because it's so stereotypical
and we've all been exposed to this as far as like fourth grade history class as a Pilgrim
collar. So, if you're wanting a challenge, which I'm not even going to try. Take a Pilgrim
collar and make something totally different out of it. Maybe we will try. OK. Let's say
we have our Pilgrim collar. Ugly and boring as ever. And we want to make it into a top
of some sort. And let's say, ah, we can add, this will be the shoulder that's cut out so
you would see skin. And then it goes around the arms. Like that maybe? That gives it kind
of a trashy feel with the Pilgrim collar. So, anything's possible.

Tracking the Caloric Deficit
See graph below—five days in, the calorie deficit is on track (red is the caloric deficit, green is body weight).
But the training load is high and I'm definitely feeling it—had to take a shorter ride and eat a little more yesterday. Still, today was pretty strong, with a 2:45 ride burning 2000 calories.
Graphs like this are a sort of positive feedback loop (or a negative one!). Meaning that a downtrend in weight offers a pyschological boost that encourages will power, and an uptrend in body weight means "sit up and pay attention!".
In this case, the caloric deficit is strongly negative (good), and body weight is already hinting at a downtrend. Well, it ought to: I'm short 3180 calories in five days (-636 deficit X 5 days). Which should translate to nearly a pound of fat.
Such graphs provide compelling and irrefutable evidence as to the efficacy of one's weight loss efforts once 7-10 days of data is in place. But the body did not evolve to die of hunger, so the body weight trend line will go asymptotic at some point (flat or slightly undulating).
Click for larger graph.
The main trick I have to offer is this: a 500 calorie deficit per day is much easier to achieve if the total caloric needs are 3500 or so (2100 base + 1400 burn).—this is a deficit of about 14% (500/3500).
Attempting to cheat the body of 500 calories (eating 1600 on a normal diet of 2100) is not something I would want to attempt—that's a deficit of 24% and the body pretty much does not want to die, and so all sorts of efficiencies kick in, hunger kicks in, muscle is lost, etc. Self defeating and a very bad plan even in the medium run.
By making the caloric deficit a smaller percentage, the body is much more friendly to the goal. Tactics:
- Include one big ride per week which results in a 1500-2000 calorie deficit for the day (this means a 4-6 hour ride). I can't eat all this back in one day, nor do I feel a hunger demand to do so.
- Make sure that on a three day basis that 500 cal/day deficit is maintained (preferably more following the big ride).
- At certain times, the body will say "enough!". Eat some extra on that day. Countervailing forces kick in by attempting to deny a hunger reality: after all, the body does need calories to repair and grow also.
- Think in cyclical terms: steady deficit - big deficit - overeat for 1 day, repeat. Just watch the average: so long as the average is a deficit, the fat will get burned off.

At first glance, Manohar Mhatre's appearance belies his vast artistic legacy. At 89, he is the last standing Progressive, but is unlike any of his contemporaries. Not for him the flamboyance of MF Husain, the brooding mysteriousness of VS Gaitonde, or the defiance of Akbar Padamsee.
Mhatre's personality, like his art, is distinctive in subtle, gentle ways. In fact, the quietness of his manner has often been construed as reclusiveness, and few outside the art world know of him or his elegant body of work.
After what he calls "gentle persuasion", young curator Gourmoni Das has managed to get Mhatre to bring out the most significant works of his life.
In the retrospective exhibition, 'The Progressive and The Personal – An Untitled Legacy', Das has curated 60 of Mhatre's works, created over the last half of the century.
The exhibition is open to the public all through February 2020 at the Nine Fish Art Gallery in Mumbai and has been presented in association with Dot Line Space, an art forum started by the graduates of Sir JJ School of Art in 2015.
The JJ connection
It is perhaps no coincidence that the students of JJ School of Art are part of this story. Established in 1878, this Mumbai art college has been the birthplace of many of India's legendary artists and Mhatre is no exception.
Like most of his older peers and founding members of the Progressive Artists Group (PAG) — FN Souza, Sadanand Bakre, SH Raza, KH Ara and MF Husain — Mhatre too studied at this historic institution.
Thanks to a liberal father, who not only encouraged his son to pursue the career of his choice, but also introduced him to V S Adurkar, the first Indian Director of the Sir JJ School of Art, Mhatre was inducted into the art world by the finest.
In the 1950s, he started his association with the Bombay Artists' Aid Centre, which continues to this day. It was there that he was introduced to the Progressive Artists' Group, which had been founded in 1947.
Mhatre recounts, "I started visiting the Artists' Aid Centre frequently to gain knowledge from the many great artists of the time who were associated with it. This is how my association with Ara and PAG began. At the time, there were no galleries in Bombay and most of the work was presented in the form of exhibitions in the centre until Jehangir Art Gallery, the first art gallery in Bombay, opened in 1953. For me, the association with this group was instrumental in shaping my artistic journey. I had joined the Sir J J School of Art in 1950 and graduated in 1956."
"In later years, most of the group went different ways, but my association with V S Gaitonde continued through the School. These associations and their bold approach to art has contributed towards me moving away from traditional and regimented art forms and instead striving for a more modern and aesthetic touch based on abstract art," he says.
The making of Mhatre
Through the 1950s, Mhatre discovered his own style as a fresh JJ graduate and started entering competitions. In 1955, his canvas painting "Summer" won a Gold Medal from the Academy of Fine Arts, Calcutta, and the following year, he won a bronze medal from the prestigious Bombay Art Society.
The 60s and 70s saw slight professional deviations as he worked at the Weaver's Service Centre in Chennai. But there, he formed close associations with renowned cultural activist, Pupul Jayakar, who established the centre and helped him understand the design aspects of the textile industry. He retired as the Centre's Deputy Director in 1980 to focus on his art once more.
Mhatre had had two solo exhibitions in the interim — his first solo at Taj Art Gallery in 1964, and another one at the same venue in 1968. After his retirement, he had two more solo exhibitions — one at Bajaj Art Gallery in 1986, and the next one years later in 2005 at Hacienda Art Gallery.
Although the frequency of his exhibitions was low, his commitment to his art was steadfast. Drawing inspiration from masters like Gaitonde and Ara, Mhatre infused boldness approaches in his work, which helped him, in his words, "move away from traditional and regimented art forms, and instead strive for a more modern and aesthetic touch, based on abstract art."
Undefined by choice
Mhatre's description of his body of works seems apt when one witnesses them at the ongoing retrospective, and one realises that there is no definitive way to describe it. Each piece is different from the next as a consequence of the artist treating them all uniquely.
"My drawings and paintings are quite diverse in their medium, textures, depth of colours, and the shapes of my dots and lines. The form any painting eventually takes is never planned from the beginning. I love variation, changes, and experiment with different conventional and unconventional mediums. I use everything from ink on paper to oil on canvas as mediums. Recently, I've been innovating using fabric in my abstract art, which I refer to as "progressive freestyle. I can confidently say that repetition is not my style."
Not just in technique, Mhatre's inspiration is also equally varied. "I don't favour any particular themes. My art represents my emotions and feelings at a point in time," he says. He prefers that viewers draw their own conclusions about his work, and hence does not even name them!
Curator Gourmoni Das finds that Mhatre's work is more about the means than the end, the process than the precipitation. It's as if the artist's work speaks of his isolated practice, invites contemplation and perhaps even a redefinition of the art of abstraction.
