My Bitterly Cold Defense Guide Review
The writer has done a thorough research even about the obscure and minor details related to the subject area. And also facts weren't just dumped, but presented in an interesting manner.
This ebook does what it says, and you can read all the claims at his official website. I highly recommend getting this book.
Portable DC Power Supply
Telescopes with drive motors, and CCD cameras and computers require power and lots of it. Telescopes and computers have internal batteries but not with enough amperage to last for a very long time under high electrical loads. As we have just mentioned, a laptop operating under standard batteries will not last much longer than two hours. Your duration will be even less if you are operating in extreme cold.
The Launch Directorate Becomes an Operating Center
Von Braun was correct in assuming that raising LOD to the status of a separate center would meet serious objections from vested interests in NASA. Harry Gorman's arguments from the administrative standpoint were not seconded in the engineering divisions. Eberhard Rees, for one, leaned against separation if it should prove necessary, he preferred the alternate plan, wherein a Launch Operations Center would control administration and management, general technical and scientific fields, and facility planning and construction, with the launching divisions of the various centers still controlling their flight operations and some aspects of checkout and launching. Most of von Braun's staff opposed the separation of the launch team from Huntsville. There was some feeling that they would be working in the factory, while the Debus launch team in Florida would enjoy the action and the spotlight. Heated debates continued through a cold winter.9
Personal considerations
There are a number of little-recognized factors that affect the overall success of an observing session at the telescope, one of which concerns proper dress. This is of particular importance in the cold winter months of the year, when sub-freezing temperatures are often experienced at night. It's impossible to be effective at the eyepiece, or even to simply enjoy the views, when you're half-frozen to death Proper protection of the head, hands and feet are especially important during such times, and several layers of
Circumferential lunar utilities
3 Unmanned (robotic) lunar bases may not need continuous power. They can power down to a limited extent during the lunar night and resume operations during the lunar day, thus obviating the need for large power storage devices. However, they typically require keep alive power to prevent damage to sensitive electronics caused by the extreme cold of the lunar night.
Absorbing the Sunlight
Looking back in the geological record, the Earth's surface has clearly gone through periods of warmer and colder climates. The more extreme cold periods are usually referred to as ice ages (for obvious reasons). The timescale on which major ice ages have occurred actually fits in reasonably well with the timescale for continental drift. The first ice age for which there is good evidence occurred 800-600 million years ago, and was so extensive that it
Cultural Influences On Aerospace Organizations
More recently, investigations into the loss of two orbiters and their crews revealed deficiencies in Agency culture, prompting changes in work policies and the work environment. The first catastrophic event was the Shuttle Challenger which blew up after launch in January 1986, with the loss of seven astronaut lives. The complex investigation by outside experts centered on the primary cause the failure of O-rings that were supposed to seal various parts of the solid rocket booster, but did not because of cold weather and ice conditions at the Kennedy spaceport which contributed to their disintegration. But their comprehensive report also uncovered failures in the management and engineering cultures of both the Agency and its prime contractor, Morton Thiokol. Launch decision-makers failed to receive or heed the warnings of their concerned engineers at lower levels of the organization. NASA's bureaucracy with so many rules and regulations, as well as worker...
The New Laws of Cosmic Order
He had for years attempted to obtain his unpaid salary from the Emperor Ferdinand II, but without result. He even had worked for 2 years as an astrologer to general Wallenstein, a hero of the Thirty Years' War, thus hoping to get his 11,817 guldens. As a last resort, he mounted a horse and rode to Regensburg where the Diet of the Holy Roman Empire was sitting. It was November 1630 and the long ride in cold weather through Germany ruined by the war was too much for the fragile health of 58-year-old Kepler. He arrived in a poor condition and sold his thin horse for 2 guldens, but then a high fever confined him to bed and within a few days he died. Kepler was buried outside the town in a cemetery for Lutherans. His grave was soon destroyed, together with the cemetery, during the long war that followed.
Microfossil and Isotope Evidence for Life
The relatively rapid decrease in global planet temperatures on Mars would have provided potential Martian life with a further environmental variable - that of cold and even freezing temperatures. This is a situation that did not exist on the early Earth. Early life on Mars could have therefore been even more diversified than on early Earth, with the development first of all of mesophilic organisms capable of living in moderate temperatures and, finally, psychrophilic organisms that can live in extremely cold conditions. Potential Martian life, if it survived the heavy bombardment, would have had to be tolerant of very dry, exposed conditions.
Chamber testing the Block II CSM
For 177 hours, the three men sat in the CM performing their duties as they would on a real lunar mission, but keeping the centre couch folded for additional room. The test programme included new launch procedures that avoided the use of pure oxygen, evaluating the new material inside the spacecraft, and rotating the spacecraft to simulate the barbeque mode to evenly distribute temperatures across the surface of the spacecraft (as would happen during the trans-lunar and trans-Earth portions of the Apollo mission to the Moon). The crew communicated with Mission Control via the radio link and were monitored by a TV camera inside the spacecraft. By following the flight plan of a real mission to the Moon, the crew would evaluate the structural integrity of the hull and inner pressure vessel, and verify the heat shield structure under conditions of extreme cold, the performance of the environmental control systems (one of Kerwin's early technical assignments), the radiators' ability to dump...
Progress on the Solar UVPlanetary Wave Mechanism
For instance, Gray et al. (2006) find that the QBO winds in the upper stratosphere are key in modulating the lower stratospheric planetary wave activity and the strength of the winter polar vortex. Statistical analysis of observations, mechanistic modeling, and general circulation modeling all indicate this to be the case. Yet, it is somewhat surprising to see that the upper stratosphere tropical winds seem to be more important than the lower and middle stratospheric winds in modulating stratospheric sudden warmings, with the accompanying large changes in the temperatures at high latitudes and the strength of the winter vortex. Perhaps, this just follows from the fact that the planetary wave Eliassen-Palm vectors are normally directed upwards and equatorward (see Andrews et al., 1987). It is also not clear how solar activity modulates the QBO period although some mechanistic model results by Cordero and Nathan (2005) and Mayr et al. (2006) give this result, albeit for different...
Titan and Other Satellites
Image above Saturn's atmosphere, like Jupiter, is banded - the product of rapid rotation. But the extreme cold means that the clouds form lower down where they are less distinct, and a methane haze dulls the colours and makes the atmosphere less vibrant than Jupiter's. This close-up image, taken by Voyager 1 in 1980, reveals two dark oval storms (right), each about 10 000 kilometres across. Courtesy of NASA JPL Caltech.

Uranus World on its Side
Once beyond Saturn, we must again journey nearly twice as far from the Sun to get to the next planet. There, 19 times further out than the Earth, we find Uranus - pale blue-green, remarkably featureless, and bitterly cold. Uranus is a mid-sized giant, roughly half the size of Saturn, a fluid blob of slushy ice with smaller quantities of rock and gas. Strangely, this planet rotates on its side, its spin axis lying almost in the plane in which it orbits. Its large array of satellites and rings, encircling the planet's equator, are thus similarly inclined, their orbits virtually at right angles to the Solar System. It is almost as if a gigantic collision knocked Uranus sideways in a game of interplanetary billiards. Indeed, just such an event is astronomers' favoured explanation for Uranus' weird orientation. And it isn't just Uranus that has suffered. The surfaces of some of its moons paint a similarly brutal history throughout the Uranian system.

The God of the Underworld a Triumph of Luck
It turned out the calculations upon which Tombaugh based his search were in error. It just happened to be one of the greatest strokes of coincidence that the little new planet just happened to be lying there right at that moment in time. It also quickly turned out that Tombaugh's new planet was far too tiny to have any impact whatsoever on the motions of Uranus and Neptune and much too far away as well. Because of the extreme cold and relative darkness in which the new planet must have existed, astronomers named the new world Pluto for the ancient Roman god of the underworld. The first two letters are also the initials of Percival Lowell, the astronomer who had spearheaded the search for the ninth planet. Tombaugh was one of his successors working at the observatory that bore Lowell's name.
Possible Transfer Mechanism For The 11year Solar Cycle To The Lower Stratosphere
Observational evidence of the 11-year solar cycle (SC) modulation of stratosphere temperatures and winds from the ERA-40 dataset is reviewed, with emphasis on the Northern winter hemisphere. A frequency modulation of sudden warming events is noted, with warmings occurring earlier in solar minimum periods than in solar maximum periods. The observed interaction between the influence of the SC and the quasi biennial oscillation (QBO) on the frequency of sudden warmings is noted as a possible clue for understanding their mechanism of influence. A possible transfer route for the 11-year solar cycle from the equatorial stratopause region to the lowest part of the stratosphere is proposed, via an influence on sudden warming events and the associated induced meridional circulation. SC and QBO composites of zonal wind anomalies show anomalous wind distributions in the subtropical upper stratosphere in early winter. Mechanistic model experiments are reviewed that demonstrate a...
Asteroids and comets the building blocks of the solar system
We now think that an asteroid impact was at least partly responsible for the extinction of the dinosaurs. Some 65 million years ago, a large asteriod hit the Earth and filled the atmosphere with dust. The Sun's life-bringing light was blocked out for months. It became extremely cold and most of the plants died, breaking the food chain and causing the death of, first, the plant-eating dinosaurs and then the meat-eaters who preyed on them.
Venus Star Wars and the Rain and Corn Complex
The rain-maize relationships to Venus are discussed very fully by Ivan Sprajc (1993a, 1993b) in a comprehensive monograph, and John Carlson (1991) has an extended discussion emphasizing the Venus War complex. Sprajc's coverage of the literature is very helpful, and Carlson has uncovered many previously unnoted iconographic relationships. Sprajc shows that many Mesoamerican cultures associated Venus, expecially as evening star, with rain and that the northernmost extreme of Venus, as evening star in the eight-year cycle, always fell between May 1 and May 6. In many parts of Mesoamerica, this is a reasonably good approximation to the beginning of the rainy season. The southern extreme always fell between November 2 and November 7 and coincides well with the beginning of the dry season, often accompanied by cold weather. The extensive parallels that Sprajc cites make the existence of a cult associating Venus with rain, fertility, and corn seem certain. The association of the extreme...
The snowball Earth effect
Hypotheses have been proposed about a ''snowball Earth'' effect, most recently by two Harvard scientists, P. Hoffman and D. Schrag, suggesting that the Earth froze over completely about 600 million years ago (just before the Neoproterozoic era when recognisable animal life appeared), when the Sun was assumed to be 6 fainter than now (Hoffman and Schrag, 2000). There were four similar occasions between 750 and 580 million years ago, according to the Harvard scientists, when the Earth was completely frozen. However, the Earth is believed to have had a more habitable climate both before and after these events. The ''snowball Earth'' hypothesis was motivated by the surprising discoveries of glacial debris near the sea level in the tropics. Other geological clues include rocks with high iron content, which are believed to form only under conditions with little oxygen, and carbon isotopic ratios in the rocks revealing the signature of prolonged periods of low biological activity during...
Observing Project 12B The Toughest Doubles
Eventually the bitter cold and crystal clear skies of winter give way to the progressively more mild nights of spring. Leo is riding high into the east and Virgo is poking above the eastern horizon. In Virgo is the double star Porrima (Gamma Virginis). Porrima is an unusual star name in that it is not Arabic, but rather is Latin and honors the Roman goddess of prophesy. Porrima is a double that is exquisitely difficult to split as it is just now reaching minimum separation at barely one-half arc second. Both stars are nearly identical spectral-type A white stars that burn somewhat hotter than the Sun does. Porrima gives amateur astronomers a rare chance to actually catch a double star in motion. The orbit of the two components of Porrima is extremely eccentric. At maximum separation the two components are 70 AU apart, but at their closest are less than 3 AU apart. The maximum spacing of the two stars is about six arc seconds at the apoastron point of their 168-year orbit. This last...
Sunspots and the weather
For example, in 1991 Danish researchers Eigil Friis-Christensen and Knud Lassen found that the duration of a sunspot cycle seemed related to the temperatures in the northern hemisphere (Sky and Telescope, November 1995, pages 12-13). However, first, the total change in the mean temperature was just less than one degree centigrade, a variation that is not appreciable by ordinary means secondly, the hot or cold weather (for instance during a summer in a given country) has nothing to do with slight changes of the mean temperature in a hemisphere, but it mainly depends on the existence and positions of centers of high pressure on the Earth's surface and thirdly, the effect is not related at all to the phase in the 11-year sunspot cycle but, if real, it is a variation of long period.
Discussion and Conclusions
In the Arctic 2002-2003 winter, where auroral activity was moderate, the usual stratospheric warming in the middle of the winter led to low-to-moderate NOx abundances. This can be considered as typical for an Arctic winter where the presence of stratospheric warming is rather usual. On the other hand, in 2003-2004, two unusual phenomena occurred. First, besides the high auroral activity during this winter, several SPEs occurred which, on one hand, enhanced the NOx production by the direct impact of solar protons on the atmosphere and, on the other, favored the electron fluxes associated to geomagnetic perturbations. In addition, after an usual stratospheric warming, a strong (the record so far measured) polar vortex developed in late winter. Both conditions finally led to very large NOx abundances in the upper stratosphere at the end of the winter.
How may the NAO be affected by solar activity
Ogi et al. (2003) suggested that the spatial structure of the sea level pressure variations in the northern hemisphere was influenced by the level of solar activity. They argued that during solar maximum, the pattern had the more hemispheric character associated with the Arctic Oscillation (AO), but the signal was confined to the Atlantic region during solar minima just like the NAO pattern. They also suggested the wintertime NAO has a significant effect on climate conditions during spring and summer when the solar activity was high, but not during low solar activity. They explained that the mechanism by which this link could exist was through a systematic influence on snow and ice conditions in the Barents Sea region. Although supported by empirical data, their analysis involved short data series, and it remains to be seen whether the purported relationship holds for the future. Dima et al. (2005) applied multivariate techniques (Empirical Orthogonal Function, Principal Oscillation...
Preventable Tragedy
Initial suspicion that its range safety explosive charges had been inadvertantly fired was quickly dismissed when analysis of telemetry data revealed that no such commands were sent to either booster until both were remotely destroyed by the Range Safety Officer at T + 110 seconds. For a number of engineers and managers at Morton Thiokol and within NASA, however, the cause of the disaster had been identified more than a year before Challenger's maiden voyage the primary and secondary O-rings meant to prevent a leakage of hot gases were incapable of properly sealing the gaps between the SRB joints in extremely cold weather. Already, catastrophe had been narrowly averted on one previous cold-weather launch in January 1985 and conditions in the hours leading up to STS-51L's lift-off were colder still. Moreover, an application of zinc chromate putty, intended to act as a 'thermal barrier' and keep the combustion gas path away from the two O-rings, had been shown as early as 1984 to be...
What to Do If Everything Is Not the Way it Ought To Be
If the battery is low, recharge. If on AC power, switch to DC. Small AC power supplies produce poorly filtered DC that can cause computer problems. Check clean hand control RJ style ( telephone ) connectors. During cold weather (below freezing, especially), battery performance will decrease. Keep the battery warm, at least prior to beginning observing, or operate from an AC power supply. Check replace hand control connecting cable. Perform a reset ( factory defaults for Celestron NexStar telescopes) of the hand controller to resolve program firmware problems. If no improvement is noted, try reloading hand control firmware. If the telescope is a Celestron NexStar, try reloading motor control firmware as well. If problems persist, CONTACT MANUFACTURER. due to cold weather. Circuit board problems.

Northern And Southern Lights
In Norway or Sweden it was a common belief that the northern lights were reflections from silvery shoals of herring that flashed light against the clouds when swimming close to the water's surface. According to King's Mirror, the Arctic snow and ice absorbed large amounts of light from the long summer midnight Sun and re-radiated it as the northern lights in wintertime. Almost 400 years later, the French philosopher Rene Descartes (1596-1650) attributed the aurora to sunlight scattered from ice particles found high in the atmosphere at cold northern locations. But all these ideas were eventually shown to be wrong.
Ground Ice in the Martian Regolith
The long-term existence of extremely cold climate on Mars has led to strong global freezing through upper layers of the planet's crust that has resulted in formation of the global permafrost shell - cryolithosphere. In accordance with the modern thermal regime of the Martian surface and the reasonable values of the planet's heat flow, the thickness of the cryolithosphere may approach 1-2 km in the equatorial zone and 5-6 km in the polar regions. In the presence of such a huge scale of cryolithosphere, most of the Martian water abundance could be captured primarily within the permafrost shell in the form of ground ice and possibly salt solutions. It is not excluded that some amount of the liquid and solid phases of CO2 (plus clathrate) may also be contained in the cryolithosphere.
The Pleiades rise at sunset
The cluster's appearance in early November reminds those in the southern U.S. of the coming of winter (cold weather has, no doubt, already arrived for those in northern climes). In binoculars, the Pleiades nexus appears like diamond chips on black velvet. The entire group is clumped within an apparent area about one and a half degrees - three times the diameter of the full Moon - so the high magnification and limited field of view of a telescope won't show you the entire setting of this group.
Multiple Stars
Is more a loose aggregation and can be regarded more as a small star cluster than a multiple star as such. It is none the less beautiful for this and seen against the glowing green background of the nebula, on a cold winter's night in a good telescope, it is one of the sky's most spectacular sights.
Mm SLR Camera
When buying a camera for astrophotography, buy as much quality as you can afford. If you buy a good camera, you will only have to do it once. Manual cameras are relatively inexpensive and have the advantage of not needing batteries that can die on you in extreme cold. Electric cameras operate much more smoothly and precisely. The quality of the lens of your camera is important since you will not always use it to image through your telescope. You may wish to mount the camera on top of the telescope piggyback style. This allows a clock-driven telescope to serve as mount for beautiful wide-field panoramic shots. Also consider a camera that offers an array of telephoto lenses. This allows modest magnifications to be used while retaining a wide field view. The only other type of accessory that is an absolute must is a cable release for the shutter. This allows the shutter to be opened without you touching the camera and thus creating vibrations. This can either be a manual type of release...
Paper Spacecraft
Moreover, if the probe would make it all the way to the surface alive, would it then hit a super-cold icy surface as hard as steel, or plunge into a bitterly cold lake of liquid hydrocarbon gas Although Huygens was not specifically intended as a lander, scientific measurements from the surface would provide a valuable bonus to the mission. Huygens, therefore, should not only be able to land on hard, solid ground but should also be able to float, and in both cases be able to gather data.
Thermal Tests
Rookie astronaut Mike Coats, who was sitting in Mission Control monitoring these tests, called the Shuttle's thermal behaviour ''the banana effect'' during orbital flight, the entire vehicle was bending like a banana, as its 'hot side' expanded and its 'cold side' contracted. During a practice opening and closure of the payload bay doors under extremely cold conditions, problems arose after one period in the belly-to-Sun attitude. A 'closed' indication on one of the doors was not achieved, prompting Coats to advise the astronauts to reverse their attitude and warm up Columbia's topside instead of her belly.
Surface Features
Is more like a shallow saucer than a mine-shaft the walls rise to only a modest height above the outer surface, while the floors are depressed. Central mountains or mountain groups are very common, but never attain the height of the outer ramparts. The depths of some craters are given in Table 3.4, but it must be remembered that these are at best no more than approximate. Some craters near the poles are so deep that their floors are always in shadow and therefore remain bitterly cold one of these craters, Newton, has an depth of over 8 km below the crest of the wall.
Thermal Environment
Under these conditions, extremes of both temperature and temperature gradient are common. Thermally isolated portions of an Earth-orbiting spacecraft can experience temperature variations from roughly 200 K during darkness to about 350 K in direct sunlight. One has only to consider such everyday experiences as the difficulty of starting a car in very cold weather, with battery and lubrication problems, or very hot weather (which may cause carburetor vapor lock) to appreciate that most machinery functions best at approximately the same temperatures as do humans.

We now know that it was extremely cold during the period of darkness,2 so it was just as though all the animals had been transported to present day Antarctica. Emiliani, Kraus and Shoemaker3 soon published a paper showing that after an impact in the ocean, the temperature would first go way down but would then increase as a result of the greenhouse effect, and the heating would be a major contributor to the killing mechanism. Perhaps the most important killing mechanism would derive from the shock-heating of the atmosphere, by the expanding fireball. It would give rise to the production of huge amounts of nitrogen oxides in the atmosphere, leading to highly acidic rain, and surface ocean waters with a pH so low as to dissolve the calcium carbonate shells of marine invertebrates. This important contribution came from a group at MIT (Lewis, Watkins, Hartman and Prinn). ' I stress it here, because our paleontological colleague, Bill Clemens, recently discovered dinosaur fossils in...
Year Day And Seasons
Second, minute, and hour by about 2.5 percent. Most of us would not notice such a difference in the face of the other adaptational problems inherent in a relocation to the Red Planet, such as the reduced gravitation, the bitterly cold temperatures, the lack of a breathable atmosphere, the lack of protection from solar ultraviolet radiation, and the infrequent but brutal dust storms.
That there is no need for the difference between the hot fire and the cold night is just one instance of the very fundamental issue of asymmetry arising out of symmetry. In the physics of ancient Greeks such as Aristotle, the Earth was at the centre, a very special place. Heavy objects 'by nature' fell to the centre that was their 'natural place'. Over time, we have become more modest with respect to our own position. Neither the Earth, nor the Sun, nor our Galaxy is the centre. There is no centre. There is no cosmic discrimination of this kind all places are equal. At least, equal in principle. In practice, places can be extremely different - from the hot interior of the Sun to the extreme cold of intergalactic space.
Ganymede is believed to consist of a metallic core surrounded by rocky material, in turn surrounded by a crust of rock mixed with ice. The moon's density is approximately twice that of water. The surface was seen close up by the Voyager probe, and a number of features were observed, including many craters, evidence that Ganymede has been bombarded by meteorites. The shallow nature of the craters suggests that the surface of Ganymede is largely made of water ice. At the extreme cold temperatures at Jupiter's distance from the Sun, ice behaves something like rock on Earth's surface. However, over time the ice flows and settles so that the mountains and rims of the craters flatten out gradually. Nevertheless, this ice maintains crater imprints for millions of years.
Then there are propellant production facilities, specifically for the extremely cold liquid oxygen and hydrogen cryogenic propellants. These fluids need to be cooled, respectively, to -184 and -251 degrees Celsius (-299 and -420 degrees Fahrenheit) to keep liquid. A little bit is always evaporating, and this boil off' process makes it difficult to transport them. If the travel distance was too long, all the propellant would evaporate before it could be put into the launcher.
Personal Matters
There are a number of other factors that impact the overall success of an observing session at the telescope. One concerns proper dress. This is of particular importance in the cold winter months of the year, when observers often experience subzero temperatures at night. It is impossible to be effective at the eyepiece, or to even just enjoy the views, when you're half frozen to death Proper protection of the head, hands and feet are especially critical during such times, and several layers of clothing are recommended. During the summer months the opposite problem occurs, as observers attempt to stay cool. In addition to very short nights at this time of year, there's the added annoyance of flying insects and optics-fogging humidity and dew (see the discussion on dew caps and heated eyepieces in Chapter 5).
Preparing for launch
Shortly before launch the tanks of the Ariane 5 main stage are filled with liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen. Because these extremely cold fluids boil off rather quickly and are dangerous to work with, this cannot be done earlier. In the meantime, the launcher subsystems are checked and the computer program with the flight data for the automatic guidance system is loaded into the launcher's computer. The launch teams get ready in the control center and various tracking facilities.

A large NO2 increase and O3 depletion was observed by GOMOS in the Northern polar stratosphere after the strong 28 October 2003 SPE. During such an event, NOx is formed in the upper stratosphere mesosphere in the polar cap which coincides approximately to the polar vortex during the winter period. The total ozone column in the polar vortex was decreased by about 2 north of 70 N, about twice model estimations (Jackman etal., 2000). The NO2 perturbation was observable until mid-December when the polar vortex was destroyed by an upper stratospheric warming. The impact of an SPE on the stratosphere is very dependent on the season and on the meteorology of the polar stratosphere. The impact is important if NOx is transported in the polar night downwards into the middle stratosphere where it can stays during several months without being destroyed. A large NO2 increase was also observed in June-July 2003 in the south polar stratosphere with some indications of a simultaneous ozone decrease....
What did we know about Titan before Cassini and Huygens Saturn's largest moon was discovered in 1655 by Dutch astronomer Christiaan Huygens. At 5,150km in diameter, Titan is larger than the planets Mercury and Pluto, and is the second largest known moon (only Ganymede is larger). Its atmosphere is the second densest of the solid bodies in the solar system (Venus has the densest), and its surface, shrouded by a thick atmosphere, is extremely cold, about 95 K (-178 C). Titan's thick atmosphere is about 95 nitrogen, with a few percent methane. Titan is of special interest to planetary scientists for several reasons, one of which is the many interesting organic compounds created by ultraviolet light from the Sun and energetic electrons from Saturn's radiation belts causing dissociation of nitrogen and methane in the upper atmosphere. The resulting radicals combine to form complex hydrocarbons such as ethane and benzene, ni-triles, and Titan's orange haze, which obscures the surface. When...
Knowledge Motives
Space offers us conditions that are valuable for certain kinds of experimental research. These include extreme cold, high vacuum, immense uncluttered areas, and a degree of remoteness that could insulate humanity from an experiment gone wrong. The biggest drawing card is microgravity (also known as 0-G, or weightlessness), which is useful for research in metallurgy, crystallography, and chemistry, including pharmaceuticals.
The Platonic Solids
Kepler sent his first outline of the two main arguments he would include in his book to Maestlin in October 1595. Throughout that cold winter, he filled out that outline with a number of auxiliary arguments. Since the polyhedral hypothesis was founded on the idea that God had rationally structured the universe based on the five regular solids, Kepler turned his attention to seeing what meaning he could discern in the particular arrangement of the solids. In the process, he ended up having a lot more to say about the polyhedral hypothesis than the planet-moving force hypothesis, but he did come up with one additional argument based on the planet-moving force hypothesis that would be extremely influential in his later thinking about planetary theory.
Handheld Binoculars
If you are considering purchasing image stabilized binoculars, you should be aware that the image stabilization mechanism requires battery power, and that the life of batteries, particularly alkaline batteries, is reduced in cold weather. Without power, the binoculars can be used as conventional binoculars (Figure 3.3).
The Big Bang
An analogy for the young, expanding universe is helpful. Suppose we were to heat an oven on a cold winter's night so that its temperature exceeded one hundred degrees. If we were then to place some steam into this oven, it would remain evaporated as long as we kept the heat turned on. Consider what would happen if we then disconnected this oven and took it outside to where the temperature was well below freezing. Clearly, the oven would begin to cool as it lost heat to the surroundings. As the oven temperature dropped, the steam would eventually condense back into water, and, finally, when the temperature had become sufficiently low, the water would freeze into ice.

Throughout this recess, Boisjoly and fellow engineer Arnie Thompson continued to argue persuasively that it was unsafe to fly outside of their proven field joint temperature range, but the Thiokol senior executives in attendance felt the O-rings should still seat and function properly, despite the cold weather. Arnie actually got up from his position and walked up the table, put a quarter pad down in front of the management folks and tried to sketch out once again what his concern was with the joint, Boisjoly told the Rogers Commission, and when he realised he wasn't getting through, he stopped. I grabbed the photos and tried to make the point that it was my opinion from actual observations that temperature was indeed a discriminator and we

Deus Ex Machina
Practitioners in the West who combined astrology with their more serious astronomical pursuits. For example, Johannes Kepler (1571-1630), brilliant mathematician and originator of the laws of planetary motion, was convinced of the merits of astrology and devised his own system based upon harmonic theory. Some 800 horoscopes formulated by Kepler are still in existence, and certain lucky predictions for the year 1595 - including foretelling a peasants' revolt, forebodings of incursions by the Ottoman Empire in the east, and predictions of a spell of bitter cold - brought his astrological talents into great renown.
CCD Cameras
With a computerized telescope and a home PC, you could conceivably run your telescope from the comfort of your own home (a very nice option on cold winter nights ), provided you didn't have to go out and actually look through the telescope. However, thanks to the advent of the CCD camera, you can observe the night sky with your telescope and computer without even going outside

"The East Harlem neighborhood has seldom been known by its geographic constraints but always by its ethnicity. The chunk of Manhattan Island at the confluence of the Harlem and East rivers north of 96th Street and east of 5th Avenue spent much of its life as farmland until the arrival of the Lexington Avenue subway after World War I. Italians and Sicilians were the first groups to arrive en masse and the neighborhood was christened Italian Harlem. New York's most famous mayor, Fiorello La Guardia, hailed from East Harlem. The next wave of migration brought Latinos and the neighborhood's more famous moniker - Spanish Harlem. Urban renewal gave East Harlem the second highest concentration of public housing in America. The community has undergone gentrification in recent years but remains solidly working class with affordable New York City rents to be found in some reconfigured properties. Several highly regarded charter schools have set up shop in East Harlem. While increasingly diverse, the population remains one-third Hispanic which means great Central American and South American food at easy-to-swallow prices in the restaurants along 5th Avenue. Rao's Italian restaurant on East 114th Street has been a neighborhood institution since 1896 and a true bastion of southern Neopolitan Italian dining. The north half of New York's Museum Mile that begins at the Metropolitan Museum of Art marches into East Harlem and features such standouts as the Museum of the City of New York and El Museo del Barrio.

Babar Ayaz underscores the grave economic situation confronting Pakistan's new government, and considers potential solutions
Pakistan's newly-elected – or, as PPP chairman Bilawal Zardari put it, 'selected' – PTI government will have to hit the ground running as it faces serious challenges on the economic front, with a yawning gap between the country's current account payments and income.
Although Pakistan's exports have increased by 13.7 per cent to $23.2 billion in the last fiscal year, the import bill, in sharp contrast to the export surge,widened by 15.1 per cent to $60.9 billion in the past fiscal year. Thisis the highest ever import bill that Pakistan has paid in a single year since its creation. In absolute terms, imports were $8 billion higher than the preceding year.
According to the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics, during the fiscal year 2017-18 Pakistan's trade deficit stood at $37.7 billion, which was 16 per cent, or $5.2 billion, more than the comparative period of the previous year. This is the country's highest trade deficit in history.
Even after taking into account $19.6 billion of remittances in that year from overseas Pakistanis, the balance of payments deficit narrows down to $18.1 billion. This does not include the debt servicing of foreign loans and repatriation of profits by the multinational companies in Pakistan.
Thus, the most-immediate problem confronting the newly-inducted finance minister, Asad Umar – who resigned from his position as president of the Engro Group to join politics in 2013 – is to arrest the decline in the economy. The major challenge, as everybody knows, is to control the current account deficit. According to the last government, the current account deficit swelled to $18 billion. We are told that the import bill soared mainly because of two factors: an increase in machinery importsdue to China-Pakistan Economic Corridor(CPEC) projects, and a rise in oil and gas and palm oil imports. The puzzling question here is this: was China not supposed to fund the machinery as part of the CPEC investment? If that is the case, then why is it being said that we have to pay for the machinery upfront, as for regular imports? The machinery imported under CPEC was to be financed by the projects it is intended for, and paid for over a number of years.
It is vital that the incoming PTI administration asks these questions. It should also clarify the financial structuring of each individual CPEC project, becausethe previous government did not share this information with the people. From now on all government transactions, as promised by Imran Khan, should be transparent if corruption is to be stopped.
There is also a chance that Chinese companies will over-capitalise their projects, particularly machinery imported from China. This can only be checked by a vigilant economic team that is not mesmerised by the promise of a $62 billion investment. How much of this foreign direct investment has come from China is another open question.
Imran Khan had often criticised the Sharif family for taking commission on such projects, which may or may not be proved.But any corrupt practices can be exposed by telling the people how much each project has been over-capitalised.
The next important economic problem Khan's government will have to tackle is to stop the haemorrhaging of money from public sector organisations. The PTI manifesto does not talk about privatising these public sector organisations; it promises to first turn around such companies by putting in place professional management which is not swayed by political demands. This is an old mantra which we heard in the Zia-ul-Haq era, and it was unsuccessful then.
There are only two success stories in this respect: Habib Bank Limited and United Bank Limited. The Nawaz Sharif government appointed former city bankers Shaukat Tareen and Zubyr Soomro as respective presidents of these banks in the 1990s, to turn their fortunes around. Once the job was done, the banks were privatised. But here too, looking at the short term gains, the Nawaz government disinvested more than 50 per cent shares to foreign investors.
Imran Khan's team should keep in mind that if anything is privatised, it should not be more than 51 per cent, so that profits can be kept within the country, adding to its capital receipts. At present, remittances of profit by foreign countries and these privatised entities are repatriated, adding to the current account disbalance.
So the current challenge is to bridge the current account deficit by going to the International Monetary Fund. If Imran Khan's team is tempted to do that, it will have to compromise on many subsidies and economic reforms dictated by the IMF, as the Americans have clearly stated that they do not want to bail out Pakistan through the IMF to finance imports from China. That means Imran Khan's hands will be tied on both financial reforms and in trying to bring some kind of equity to US-Pakistan relations. In any case, he has been supported by the establishment with a clear understanding that he will not try to interfere in foreign or national security policies, as Nawaz Sharif did. And if he does, his fate may not be very different from that of his predecessors.
Talk of turning the prime minister's house into an educational institution is also nothing new. In the past, many rulers initially promised that but once the bureaucracy presented the pros and cons of such measures, no further action was taken. Yet there is indeed scope for cutting down the expenses of the PM's and president'shouses, which run into billions. Perhaps it is with cutting down the government's expenditure in mind thatKhan has appointed former state bank governor Dr Ishrat Hussain as adviser on institutional reforms and austerity.
Foreign trips expenses can also be cut drastically by reducing the size of delegations and making the news organisations pay for their own staff if they want to accompany the president or PM on official trips. Free junkets for politicians and journalists should be stopped to save money.
Even if Imran Khan is only halfway successful in making these reforms, people will believe that he walks the walk as well as talking the talk. This has great PR value, maybe even more than actual reforms.
Here I am tempted to share an anecdote from when Gen. Pervez Musharraf took power in Pakistan and there was much talk about reforms. In the presence of many oil and gas industry executives, I once told him, 'Sir, all governments talk about reforms when they come [to power]. While their foot is on the accelerator to get things implemented quickly, there is a heavier foot, that of the bureaucracy, which is on the brake; so even if you think you are going anywhere, you are not.'
In the interest of the people of Pakistan, I hope Imran Khan will not let these brakes hold him back.

A good friend of mine from growing up, that I haven't seen in years, recently reached out to me and shared that her son had some similar behaviors to Wilson, and that they had just confirmed that he was on the autism spectrum. My first reaction was the urge to reach through the computer and hug her.
There is a connection among parents of children with autism like nothing I've experienced before. Autism is such a broad spectrum and it seems as though there is nothing black and white about it. Because of this, what our children are experiencing cannot be easily explained. What WE as parents are going through cannot be easily explained. It can be very lonely and isolating. So sometimes, when you meet another parent with a child on the spectrum, there is comfort and connection in knowing that they just get it.
I thought about my friend and her son. What they had been through and what they were about to embark on. This made me reflect on Wilson's journey in autism, and how it's like climbing a mountain. More like climbing mountains. In the beginning of this autism climb, I was focused on reaching the top, seeing that green grass on the other side, and putting all the struggle behind us. I know now that isn't what my boy's journey is about. The climb is hard. Sometimes grueling. There are peaks, and there are falls into deep valleys. But we are going to keep climbing, no matter what.
I wanted to tell my friend that it was all going to be okay, that we had "reached the other side" so-to-speak, and just how amazing it will be once she and her son arrive there too. But I couldn't. What I can do is take her hand and help her make those first few steps.
While the daily climb is hard, if you stop, look around and celebrate even the baby steps, it really can be quite beautiful.
I've started this blog to keep everyone updated on Wilson's progress and with the dream that it can be one small piece in helping to spread autism awareness around the world. At times it feels as though there is little I can control about my son's autism, but there is plenty I can teach others about it to help him feel more understood. The more autism awareness there is in this world, the easier it might be for my little boy to navigate through it.
Like a small boat
On the ocean
Sending big waves
Into motion
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
…But I can make an explosion
~ "Fight Song" by Rachel Platten
While I plan to share a lot about Wilson's goals and treatment, this is in no way to serve as medical advice for others and their children. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to autism, so I do not intend for others to read our approach as the "right" way. There is no right way. We are trying, progressing, sometimes failing and getting up to try again.
About our little Climber!
We have found, not surprisingly, that it's incredibly hard to sit across from other people and hear about your child's challenges, delays, struggles, bad behaviors and "issues". To have his every move watched, evaluated, scored and judged. It's been busy, but not all bad. We've had so many wonderful people teaching us, offering support, praying for us and loving our little man and for that, we are so grateful.
Now, it's time we talk about this boy's amazing strengths and the beautiful qualities that make him Wilson. Wilson is unique. Not just compared to "typical" children, but compared to other children with ASD as well. Near the beginning of this journey, my friend Brita shared a quote with me that I continually find myself returning to: "If you have met one person with autism, then you have met one person with autism."
Wilson's PERSEVERENCE is truly admirable. If he wants something, he is going to figure out a way to get it! This attribute can be a little challenging for us during these toddler years, but I am sure it will serve him well later on in life. He is a PROBLEM SOLVER; if he can't reach it, he'll find something to climb on so he can. Even when he struggles to "find" his words, he continues to TRY until he can get his needs across. His MEMORY is incredible. This helps him excel with puzzles, numbers, songs and remembering where we hide things from him. While he tends to be very ENERGETIC, he can also FOCUS intensely on things that really interest him. He is great at building towers, helicopters, trucks and trains with either his magnetic tiles or Legos. He is CURIOUS. He LEARNS how things work, takes them apart, and puts them back together.
This kid is a MOVER! He loves to run, jump, bounce, spin, slide, climb, dance and swing. He loves being chased by his sister and his friends. He is EXCITED to go places and is usually running, not walking, to get there. He is a COLLECTOR and has mastered carrying multiple objects, toys, juice boxes and snacks all at one time. Wilson lights up when MUSIC plays; he loves songs and instruments and imitating new dance moves that his dad teaches him.
Wilson is GENTLE and SWEET. When he is very upset, even if I am the cause, he will usually take me up on my offer for a hug. He loves to be held tight and cuddled. He FORGIVES and he LOVES. My friend Erin put it so sweetly, "He isn't ordinary. He is EXTRAORDINARY".

Concrete Trailer Pumping Services in Carrollton, TX
Concrete Pumping Carrollton TX provides high quality line pumping services and operators to ALL of Carrollton and surrounding cities' construction market. We are locally owned and have satisfied customers all over DFW. Call with any questions and to schedule our concrete line pumping services. We're looking forward to speaking with you soon...
Concrete Pumping Carrollton
Concrete pumping Carrollton is a more efficient way of pouring concrete, using a machine to transfer liquid concrete. There are two basic types of pumps that are used, concrete 'boom pump' and the other is commonly called a concrete 'line pump' or concrete trailer pump.
What Is Concrete Pumping?
Concrete pump uses a remote controlled robotic arm or hose to place concrete where it needs to go, and they're often used in large construction projects. Concrete pumps are able to pump concrete at high volumes and are extremely accurate, which is why they are used for larger or small projects. Please review a visual site: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8w-1l0o9qM&t=21s
Flexibility of the Trailer Line Pump
First, the line pump uses flexible or steel hoses attached to the outlet of the concrete pump and linked together to wherever the concrete needs to go. Second, this type of pump is usually used for interiors where concrete boom trucks can't get to. Third, concrete line pumps are also better suited for smaller jobs like swimming pools, ground slabs and sidewalks.
Faster Concrete Placement
Finally speed of the pour is always an important factor when it comes to any-sized construction project. Therefore one of the many benefits of concrete pumping is that it is a faster way to place concrete over more traditional methods. Therefore when a concrete pump isn't used, smaller equipment may have to be moved around to different spots to finish off one pour.
Less Concrete Pouring Labor
Anyone who has been involved in any sort of construction job knows that labor is a big part of the total expense of the project and obviously, the labor force is integral, but if it can be reduced without affecting quality and safety, it will help boost the bottom line. There the site will seem less congested, and you can also use key personnel for other important tasks when the concrete is placed directly.
Concrete Pumping Convenience Factor
The convenience factor means that jobs that were previously 'undoable' can now be completed, and with a high degree of accuracy and precision but concrete pumping convenience factor makes it easier on workers, enables a company to take on new projects and can ultimately increase sales. Therefore at the end of the day, increasing sales is really what every business is all about.

Most children raised around animals experience telepathic communication right from birth. It's our natural way of communicating, just as it's the natural way that animals communicate with each other.
How do I know this? I've spoken telepathically with babies, so I know that they are telepathic. I also know that I was telepathic as a small child.
But even though you began life as a telepathic being, you most likely experienced some kind of negative feedback from adults or other children when you told them what an animal said to you.
Those negative responses from other people made you afraid of being rejected or being ridiculed. So your fear stopped you from using your natural telepathic abilities. Over time, you forgot all about it.
I was very fortunate as a child. My parents told me, "You're pretending." Since it was OK for me to pretend, I kept on having conversations with animals. As a result, I never lost my telepathic ability to speak with them.
When you keep imagining having conversations with animals, the barriers created by fear and your concerns about getting wrong answers will dissolve. Soon you'll discover that, in truth, you are having telepathic conversations and with some accuracy.
Pretending is fun. It's playing a game. Pretending is joyful.
Pretending — using your imagination — dissolves the fear of being wrong and the fear of making mistakes. It frees you to access your natural, inborn telepathic abilities.
This is why I believe that telepathy is as natural as breathing.
When we're afraid, we often stop breathing. So as you practice, if you sense you're receiving telepathically from an animal, check to make sure you're still breathing! If you're holding your breath, take several deep breaths and then go back to the conversation. Shift yourself into playfulness and joy by reminding yourself to let your imagination go and to pretend.
Remember that having fun will help you unlock your innate telepathic abilities.
You'll quickly find yourself in the natural flow of telepathic conversation and receiving a lot more information than you may have thought possible.
Namaste, Nedda

Anyone studying Arts has often heard the jokes about lack of employment opportunities. Indeed, we have often probably quipped the jokes ourselves in a feat of casual self-deprecation. However, while we may often joke about our lack of vocational skills, the idea that an Arts degree will get you nowhere is more myth, or comedic material, than a fact of reality.
In my first year of Arts, my Philosophy professor argued to a room full of first years that a BA in Philosophy would not offer us a specific route on a map that would hopefully lead us to a particular vocation. Instead, he said, it would offer us a compass. This is how I feel about my BA as I approach the next round of life choices. For many, a BA in Arts was something chosen out of uncertainty. It gave us the time to make a decision about what it is that interests us: we may have learned that we have a knack for academia, or, we learned that academia was simply not for us, but most importantly, that there was plenty of options.
The knee-jerk reaction to graduating from a BA is to enrol yourself in a Masters to continue your study. For some, this is exactly the thing to do. If you want to further your academic career and become more proficient in your research then, of course, securing an MA is the logical step to take. However, academia is only one of the many routes that someone with an Arts degree can decide to pursue and this multiplicity of routes is something to remember.
Work Abroad!
The first option always worth considering when finishing an Arts Degree is to take a year out! Forget about essays and application processes. Leave the country, get a random job in a food truck or volunteer to pick some fruit and veg, live in the 'dodgey' part of an international city, get drunk (responsibly!), or even get sunburnt!
Great options for this are, of course, J1 Visas to America or Canada. But there are also alternative ways to live and work abroad. Sites such as WWOOF (World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms) or WorkAway.com are great outlets to find paid opportunities to help out on international farms or, alternatively, offered free room and board for your work. This would be a great way to see the world and find yourself on a very low budget!
Or, if you are considering more conventional volunteer work, UCC's own Volunteering page (www.ucc.ie/en/careers/getexperience/volunteering/) lists several websites, such as volunteerworld.com and Irish Aid, where you can find more information.
Graduate Programmes
Perhaps you feel ready for an adult/real/"proper" job, but want to learn some new skills. In this case, a graduate programme is well worth considering. Programmes such as Aldi's graduate Area Manager Programme take applicants who received a 2:1 or above from any degree. As the name suggests, this programme will enable Arts graduates to transition into business. Similar to this is the Jameson Graduate Programme. The programme encourages people from all areas to apply and train as an international brand ambassador for the company. This would certainly appeal to anyone in need of a bit of travel, especially those who are business orientated.
If you would like to experience a particular vocation without the commitment to a grad programme or college fees, internships are always a route to take. Any quick sweep of websites such as gradireland.com or indeed.com advertise a myriad of internships, and there is always the option to reach out to a company or professional of your choosing and ask them if they have any internships open for application.
Online Courses
Not all future employment and travel opportunities need to rest in the arms of marketing or management either. There is also the option to Teach English as a Foreign Language (TEFL). Through this online course, the TEFL qualification can allow you to live anywhere in the world and teach. The course is an investment as you must pay for it, but you can sign up for a variety of courses which can work around your budget and timetable.
Or, just relax!
A BA, or any other less vocation-centred undergrad, offers the chance to think about what it is that we enjoy and value, and that doesn't necessarily mean that we are anywhere behind our peers in Law, Medicine, or Commerce. Regardless of whether or not we actually want to follow up on our BA with further study, we still come to graduate with some semblance of gained knowledge and more importantly, opportunities. It's also worth remembering that despite all our intentions, sometimes things don't end up how we intended. To throw in some acquired philosophical insight: shit happens, just relax and go with it!

The Owlet Baby Monitor is the first smart baby monitor that uses hospital technology pulse oximetry (you probably know it as the red light they clip on your finger at the hospital)—to alert parents if their baby stops breathing or heart rate drops or goes too high. Owlet has miniaturized the pulse oximeter into a baby booty that connects to a Base Station via Bluetooth 4.0. The Base Station also sends alerts via WiFi to parents' smartphones, so you can check on your baby from down the hall, across town or around the world. The Owlet Baby Monitor is a game changer for parents, doctors and the medical community.
In our short time on the market, we already have several documented cases where the Owlet Monitor alerted parents when a baby stopped breathing, allowing quick intervention. Owlet conducted accuracy testing that shows it is on-par with pulse oximeters used in hospitals and will be filing for FDA clearance to create a medical version of the monitor. With the Owlet Baby Monitor, as well as the data it collects, we are going to change the world by revolutionizing how we care for our infants from the day we leave the hospital.

Nappanee, located in the southern portion of Amish Country, is filled with inviting shops and friendly folks. With the city motto "embrace the pace," you get a strong image of a lifestyle that "stops to smell the roses." And walking down Main Street, you usually hear the sound of clip, clopping horse hooves as Amish Buggies travel through for business.
There is no shortage of things to do in Nappanee. Most people know about Amish Acres, which offers so much that there isn't enough space in my blog to cover. Click the link to learn more.
Coppes Commons is a new and historically interesting site. This building dates back to the 19th century and was the home to a wood cabinet making company that put the Nappanee name into thousands upon thousands of homes throughout the U.S. Today you find a group of innovative small business and shops - all examples of the entrepreneurial spirit that's still alive and well in Nappanee. From a bicycle shop to creative ice cream and foods it's a great place to embrace the pace of Nappanee.
The Amish community in the Nappanee area is one of the largest in Amish Country. Travel country roads to find Amish owned and operated businesses that feature a variety of wares from small trinkets to a room full of furniture. More . When you want the best furniture in town, visit https://www.furniture4yourhome.co.uk/painted-furniture.
Then there's the great places to eat and/or buy tasty treats in Nappanee. I guess I'll have to cover that in another blog. In the meantime, I'm thinking about getting out to enjoy the spring weather and head down to Nappanee to visit some of my favorite spots which are many.
What's your favorite spot in Nappanee?

More lenses can be made for 35mm slrs than any other system. I use Nikons with 14 different lenses ranging in focal length from 14mm to 500mm.

At this SSI link you can find both part 1 of our noodlings on July 31, and the links to the MyNorthwest articles that index the players for us. Happy times for all. Even happier if the M's powerflush half their roster and find they need Jake Fraley to fill in a vacancy in the OF.
Being "shopped" earnestly by the M's. Stecker points out that he's still only 31, is a long-time 9-year vet, and with the Mariners has added position versatility to his gold gloves at 2B. On the other hand, teams will want "proof" that his wrist is sound before giving up hard cash, goods and services for him.
Lots of teams still value speed, even if only at a single spot in the batting order. Speed is not an uninhabitable sector of MLB Earth's lineup card; it's merely devalued if you've got 30 homers available at the given #9 lineup slot. Nobody except the Twins, and come to think of it Mariners, have 30 homers x 9 lineup slots.
Dr. D maintains that other teams will see Seattle, and T-Mobile Park, as a place where many batters slag off Adrian Beltre style, only to recover form when they leave for easier contexts. Very easy for me to imagine an NL team seeing the pre-Seattle Gordon as the player it is trading for. For the 3rd consecutive player (EE, Leake) Dr. D will take the "over" as to what a Mariner could be worth to the right buyer.
Anything that brings us closer to the debuts of Sheffield and Dunn are fine by Dr. D. In this case, it's a super-team-friendly contract at $2-5M per year. That's what you give setup relievers. In LeBlanc's case, you either get a valuable return back or you keep him; even if he lost his spot in the rotation he'd be quite valuable as a long man/swing man spot starter.
Also has been an excellent choice for "headliner" after an opener, good attitude, pairs well with the dime-a-dozen 97 MPH righties like Gerson Bautista that are running amok in the bigs these days. So, you talk about "manufacturing" closers and relievers and #5 starters to flip, and repeat the process. LeBlanc, who was a March add last year, is the definition.
You start to wonder just how many trades Dipoto could swing over the next 6 weeks. I think I read that the M's had used 50 players already with the team record being 53; I guess that number will go over 60 before they done.
As bat-first shortstops go, has everything you're looking for: 11 homers, 14 doubles and the rah-rah pom poms as he cheers the M's on to a legendarily bad defense. Fortunately for him, "backup SS" is the position of choice, since he can also fill in at 2B and 3B. I imagine Ben Zobrist could cheer on a terrible defense also if you played him every day at short.
It's a little harder for Dr. D to imagine teams slobbering over Beckham than over Edwin Encarnacion, he admits. You'd need a team with a sucking chest wound or three in the infield. Still and all, he's owed less than $1M over the rest of the year and if that's worth a Grade B/C prospect, power to ya amigo.
Good young hitter with three years of club control in front of him, as Stecker notes. Why would anybody want him? Why did the Mariners want him?
Stecker also points out that Healy is #8 in the AL with 16 doubles, LOL. Not bad in view of his not playing since about the second week of the season. ... who trades for a player on the DL? Nobody, which seems to imply that Healy could be DL'ed as much for political / phantom reasons as anything.
Also covered in Stecker's fine articles: Haniger. Marco. Elias. Vogelbach. Seager. and Felix. Try and get those next.
