Wildlife can be found in all ecosystems. Deserts, rain forests, plains, and other areas including the most developed urban sites, all have distinct forms of wildlife. While the term in popular culture usually refers to animals that are untouched by human factors, most scientists agree that wildlife around the world is impacted by human activities.

Wildlife Conservation Essay
...Conservations Nature has always helped in flourishing the mankind. But this isn't about what nature gives to you, its what you, as a human being give back in return. Are you concerned about nature? Does saving the endangered species and taking necessary actions for those who are on the brink of extinction means something to you? Then join hands with the wildlife organizations to save mother Earth! The natural projects and programmes started by the Indian government such as Project Tiger, Nature Camps and Jungle Lodges have been organised to promote wildlife awareness among the people. These projects not only help in preserving our natural heritage but also encourage eco-tourism. Why wildlife conservation is so important? Because the most beautiful gift that God has given to nature are the wild creatures, they embellish the natural beauty by their unique way of existence. But due the growing impact of deforestation, few concerned animal lovers are making continuous efforts to save the endangered species as well as those who are on the verge of extinction and save the world from loosing its green heritage. Some of the projects and wildlife conservation programmes in India include Project Tiger, which has been till now the most successful one in protecting and preserving the tiger population. There is the Gir National Park, which is only habitat existing for Asiatic lions in India. The Kaziranga Sanctuary is...

...Wildlife conservation Wildlife Conservation includes all human efforts to perserve wild animals from extinction. It involves the protection and wise management of wild species and their environment. Some species have become extinct due to natural causes, but the greatest danger to wildlife results from human activities. Thus, we ourselves have created this need for wildlife conservation. The progress of man throughout has been beneficial for the human race but it is the wildlife that has suffered through the years. Invention of sophisticated weapons, industrialization, urbanization, ever increasing human population have been some of the major causes for the dwindle of our once rich resource. Hunting, clearing of forests, draining of swamps and damming of rivers for irrigation and industry this is what we appraise of man's progress. These activities have vastly reduced the natural habitats of our wildlife and many species are endangered or nearly extinct. Man's indifference and ignorance has led him to believe that he is independent of natural laws and of natural environments and forgets that he himself is a biological being and is directly and/or indirectly dependent on the natural resources available to him. He exploits, destroys and reduces the renewable natural resources, eradicates wildlife and leads his own race to levels leading to catastrophe. All this can be put...
...rivers, and wildlife'.The Department of Environment was established in India in 1980 to ensure this cause. The extinction of animals in today's society is one of the large problemsfaced by us in todays enviroment. Wildlife conservation programs have been working hard to save many different species from extinction. All wild animals must have food, water, and shelter in order to survive, just like humans. Pollution, poaching, and the destruction of habitats can serve as the main purpose why many animals are now on the verge of extinction. In response the Indian govt has formulated some policies to safeguard wildlife like the Wildlife Protection Act which provides for the protection of wild animals, birds and plants and Project Tiger to mainly safeguard population of Bengal tigers in their natural environment; Thanks to our govt. Project Tiger helped to increase the population of these tigers from 1,200 to 3,500 When you hear, "Wildlife", what do you think of? A grassy field with thirty deer, or an open plain with elephants, zebras, and giraffes? This is what would spring to mind for most people as soon as they hear the term "wildlife", What most people don't realize, is that no matter how deep into the city you live, or whether you live in the rural areas, it doesn't matter, you are still a vital part of nature. Why, even in cities there are still some animals such as squirrels and birds....
...India's rich wildlife heritage is facing several threats. Just how serious is the problem? India is renowned as the land of the tiger and the elephant; many of our gods are depicted riding peacocks or tigers. But sadly, the equation that existed between people and wildlife centuries ago has vanished, and our Protected areas, which comprise a mere 4% of India's landscape, are now mere islands amidst a sea of people, with tremendous demands and pressures being put on them. The most serious problem that I see today is the neglect and collapse of basic wildlife protection capacity during the last decade. This "mission-drift" has resulted from several causes: lack of political will, deterioration in the quality of forest administration, and the influence of international conservation paradigms that blindly promote "sustainable use" as a solution, while failing to recognize the overexploited status of the forest resources targeted for such use. What, in your opinion, are the most urgent threats to wildlife? By far the most urgent threat is the pressure from illegal hunting or poaching. We still have substantial amounts of forests left in some areas, particularly in the huge swathes of the tribal belts of Central and North East India, but they are "empty forests". The wildlife in them has mostly been killed off, eaten or sold. The killers come in a variety of forms: they may be local people hunting...

Wildlife in India Research Paper
... 1. Wildlife traditionally refers to non-domesticated vertebrates, but has come to broadly reference to all wild plants, animals and other organisms. Domesticating wild plant and animal species for human benefit has occurred many times all over the planet, and has a major impact on the environment, both positive and negative. Wildlife can be found in all ecosystems. Deserts, forests, rain forests, plains, grasslands, other areas including the most developed urban sites, all have distinct forms of wildlife. While the term in popular culture usually refers to animals that are untouched by human factors,[1]most scientists agree that wildlife around is impacted by human activities. 2. The Wildlife in India is a mix of species of different types of organisms.[1] Apart from a handful of the major farm animals such as cows, buffaloes, goats, poultry and sheep, India has an amazingly wide variety of animals native to the country. It is home to tigers, lions,Leopards,pythons, wolves,foxes, bears, crocodiles, rhinoceroses, camels, wild dogs, monkeys, snakes, antelope species, deer species, varieties of bison and not to mention the mighty Asian elephant. The region's rich and diverse wildlife is preserved in 89 national parks, 14 Bio reserves and 400+ wildlife sanctuaries across the country.

Q: How to create a login mechanism with ASP.NET and client side application I'm in the process of designing an iPhone app and I need to create a login mechanism written in ASP.NET on the server. Any ideas how the best way to go about doing this would be?
We would need to be able to create a username/ pass, login, then send a (small) amount of information back and forth from user application to server.

A: This is one of the more "packaged" (I guess is a good word) parts of ASP.NET, but it sounds like you would do great w/ the provided ASP.NET login controls:  http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms178329.aspx
This gets you pretty far for free (metaphorically) and if you need more later, the MembershipProvider support is pretty rock solid.

A: I'm assuming that by iPhone app you are referring to a native (Objective-C) application.  If this is the case then I would probably look at creating a web service (WCF) to interact with the server rather than a web site.  The service would allow you to use the native widgets without having to scrape (or manipulate) a DOM object to perform a post back.
Note that there's no reason why a well written web service couldn't also be exposed as a web site if the software follows good design principles.  As @Rikon mentioned the MembershipProvider support provides a good quick out of the box experience although it's easy to out grow what it provides.

Absolving Modi of Gujrat massacre case unjust
Fakhar Imam says war will be the last option if dialogue and diplomacy fail to settle Kashmir issue
MULTAN-Kashmir Committee Chairman Syed Fakhar Imam on Saturday said that absolving Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi of Gujrat massacre by the Nanvati-Mehta Commission was a biased and prejudiced decision.
Talking to media here on Saturday, he asked whether Modi was not involved in the mayhem, and why the United Stated and United Kingdom had not given him visas when he was the chief minister of Gujrat.
He welcomed Russian decision of reviving Pakistan Steel Mills (PSM) under an agreement besides provision of SSJ-100 jets to the PIA and investment for constructing a railway track from Quetta to Tuftan and Sui gas sectors.
"Russia had built the PMS and if it is interested in its revival, it is a welcome sign. The decision will strengthen mutual ties between the two countries. Pakistan and Russia have conducted joint military exercises also," he added.
To a question about Indian occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IJ&OK) situation, Fakhar Imam said India had been committing brutalities in the region, adding it has converted the Occupied Valley into a military zone.
To another question, the Kashmir Committee chairman said that war would be the last option if the Kashmir issue is not settled through dialogue and diplomacy as it is a long-standing issue between the two neighbouring countries.
"In the UK elections, candidates in domestic politics raised the Kashmir issue," Fakhar Imam revealed, adding US Persistent Donald Trump had offered mediation five times between India and Pakistan to get the issue resolved.
Imam said that Prime Minister Imran Khan, Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi, the Foreign Office have been highlighting the Kashmir issue very effectively on world platforms after August 5 scenario. He said that today the world media has focused on the issue much more than in the past.
The Kashmir Committee chairman said that Pakistan has been in contact with the world powers on Kashmir issue that's why it has been discussed at various forums.
To yet another question, he criticised Citizen (Amendment) Bill in India, saying that it was a discriminatory law for the Indian Muslims as it allows only Non-Muslim immigrants citizenship in India.
Fakhar Imam said both the government and the opposition were on same page on Kashmir issue, adding differences on domestic politics was a routine matter.
About Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman's statement about toppling of the government in one month, he said that the PTI govt was not going anywhere and it would complete its tenure of five years.
STEPS ON ENHANCE WHEAT PRODUCTION
Punjab Minister for Energy Dr Akhtar Malik has said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government is taking all possible measures to promote agriculture, enhance wheat production and improve financial condition of farmers.
The previous government ignored the agriculture sector, he said adding that the role of farmers is vital in meeting food and clothing needs of masses.
Addressing a seminar on wheat here on Saturday, he said progress of agriculture sector was crucial for developing Pakistan. He said that he himself belonged to a farmer family and was well aware of problems of the community. He said that due to different steps taken by the incumbent government, it was for the first time that farmers got the government fixed prices of wheat and sugarcane.

Early Adopter
What is an Early Adopter?
An early adopter is a person who purchases or tries new products -- typically technology -- before most other consumers.
How Does an Early Adopter Work?
Early adopters are one of five types of consumers (the others are innovators, early majority, late majority, and laggards) along the 'Diffusion of Innovations Curve' pioneered by Everett Rogers. Rogers stated that 2.5% of those who adopt a new technology do so very early (the innovators); the early adopters represent the next 13.5% of consumers; the early majority (34% of the adopters) come next; the late majority (another 34% of the adopters) come next; and the laggards (16% of the adopters) are the last to try the technology.
Market researchers often describe early adopters as social leaders who are popular and educated. Often, they will stand in line to purchase new products even when they know a new or cheaper version of the product will be available soon.
For example, the first iPhone, launched in 2007, came with a $600 price tag. Two months later, Apple lowered the price to $400; in June 2009, the price fell again to $200 and the phone offered twice the storage. Nonetheless, early adopters camped out in front of Apple stores and other retailers in 2007 to get their hands on the first version.
Why Does an Early Adopter Matter?
Though economists my contend that early adopters exhibit irrational behavior, many researchers believe early adopters stand in lines for the newest products because of what buying those products says about them rather than because the gadget will make them more productive or perform a specific function.
Early adopters also serve as guinea pigs for new products and as such, often provide vendors with valuable feedback for future releases as well as create valuable word-of-mouth publicity for products. As a result, advertisers and vendors often recruit and cultivate early adopters.

Chicago White Sox Bernardo Flores Jersey Online, Cheap Bernardo Flores Jersey For Sale, Womens Bernardo Flores Jersey, Youth Black Gold Bernardo Flores Jersey Free Shipping.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – USC baseball alumnus Bernardo Flores Jr. made his MLB debut for the Chicago White Sox last night, becoming the 116th Trojan to play in the Major Leagues.
Flores entered in relief for the White Sox in the eighth inning, tossing one frame in an 11-6 victory over the Kansas City Royals. The southpaw was drafted by Chicago in 2016 and added to the club's 40-man roster last year, before receiving his first call-up last month and then making his MLB debut on Thursday.
Flores progressed steadily through the White Sox system, reaching Hi-A in 2017 and AA the following season. In four minor league seasons, Flores owns a 3.18 ERA, with 342 strikeouts and 92 walks.
During his collegiate career, Flores tossed 91.1 innings in three seasons, serving mainly as a reliever, but also making eight starts for the Trojans. He had his best season in 2015, tossing a career high 44.2 innings while posting a 3-1 record, one save and a 3.83 ERA. For his career, Flores struck out 85 batters and walked 35.
White Sox Bernardo Flores Jersey
He was drafted in the seventh round of the 2016 draft by the White Sox as one of 12 Trojans selected that year. He joins fellow 2016 draftee Brooks Kriske as the second USC alum to make their MLB debut this season after Kriske broke through with the Yankees in July.
Rosenthal bounced back with the Kansas City Royals, prior to a midseason trade to San Diego. The 30-year-old threw 23 2⁄3 innings with a 1.90 ERA. The 6´2´´, 235 pound righthander averaged nearly 15 K/9 while only walking just more than three batters per nine. He posted a 2.22 FIP, as well. Rosenthal missed the 2018 season after Tommy John surgery, and he then proceeded to struggle in 2019.
Authentic Bernardo Flores Jersey
Treinen threw just more than 25 innings in 2020, but his strikeout rate was down significantly. The 6´5´´, 225 pound righty averaged 7.71 K/9 and only 2.81 BB/9. The 32-year-old sinkerballer posted a 3.86 ERA with a 3.15 FIP. The member of the World Series champion Dodgers will likely be looking for his fourth team this winter.
Womens Bernardo Flores Jersey
Brad Hand and Archie Bradley are two more names that joined the free agent reliever class. Hand, a 6´3´´, 220 pound southpaw was available to the league on outright waivers from Cleveland earlier this offseason and nobody claimed Hand for mere money. The 30-year-old reliever pitched in 23 games last year encompassing 22 innings. The lefty averaged 11.86 K/9 with 1.64 BB/9 and compiled 1.1 fWAR with a 2.05 ERA and 1.37 FIP.
The 28-year-old Bradley was traded from the Diamondbacks to Cincinnati at the deadline and he pitched 18 1⁄3 innings total, with a 2.93 ERA and 2.59 FIP. The 6´4´´, 225-pounder didn't strike out as many hitters in 2020, averaging ony 8.84 K/9 last year after 10.93 K/9 in 2019, but he did increase the walk rate.
Cheap Bernardo Flores Jersey
Overall, this market has been slow-moving so far, but it's ripe with talent that can help teams.
Call to the Pen
The White Sox have done a pretty solid job overall of cobbling together bullpen assets and displaying a representative level group of arms. La Russa is often credited with inventing the modern bullpen. He likes using a designated closer, setup men from the right and left sides, and having the rest fall in line. New rules could change the way he operates, but bullpen management should be a strength in the new-look dugout.
With the eighth-best bullpen in the sport last year, this isn't an area of weakness for the White Sox — but strengthening a strength is likely necessary in a wide-open American League. The majority of their above-average group will return in 2021. Aaron Bummer, a 27-year-old southpaw, ran into some injury issues last year after signing a contract extension but he still managed to average 13.5 K/9 with a 0.96 ERA. In 2019, Bummer threw 67 2⁄3 innings and posted a 2.13 ERA.
Youth Bernardo Flores Jersey
Evan Marshall just signed a $2 million deal to remain with the club and the 30-year-old has been stellar. The right-handed changeup specialist posted a 2.04 FIP and 2.38 ERA over 22 2⁄3 innings. Marshall struck out almost 12 hitters per nine innings and walked just 2.78.
In addition to those stable veterans, some young hurlers burst onto the scene in 2020 as well.
Codi Heuer, 24, posted a 1.52 ERA in 23 2⁄3 innings. The 6´5´´, 195-pounder averaged 9.5 K/9 with a 2.77 FIP. Matt Foster is a 25-year-old righty who displayed a plus changeup with increased fastball velocity. Over 28 2⁄3 innings, the former 20th-rounder averaged 9.73 K/9 with a 2.20 ERA and 2.88 FIP. Garrett Crochet's role is yet to be defined, but he could be an option in the 2021 bullpen before too long as well.
Lefty Jace Fry and rubber-armed righty Jimmy Cordero are still on the roster as well. The 27-year-old Fry posted a 1.83 FIP vs lefties and averaged more than 12 K/9 against righthanders. Cordero pitched in seemingly every game for the 2020 club and he dealt with some overuse. He would strand lots of runners, and his FIP (3.87) was much better than an ERA that came in higher than six.
One look at the 40-man roster indicates a plethora of younger options, as well. Zack Burdi's stuff looked all the way back while harboring similar command issues to the past. Bernardo Flores Jr. is a starter, but could be used in a relief role. Jimmy Lambert looked solid in a brief stint, and he's a bullpen candidate if he gets healthy once again. Tyler Johnson was added to the 40-man roster this offseason, Emilio Vargas was acquired via waivers and José Ruiz is hanging by a thread.
The argument can be made that the White Sox have enough in the current bullpen to compete in the American League. Bummer, Heuer and others could handle the ninth inning. Deadline trades are common for contenders, and 2021 likely won't be any different. Should the White Sox spend a considerable piece of their arbitrarily set budget on a closer? It's a valid question.
Fans and observers in many cases would prefer that money be spent on another starting pitcher, or a better option in right field or designated hitter. The club hasn't shown a willingness or propensity to play at the very top of the free agent market in the majority of cases. They did it last year with catcher Yasmani Grandal — a rarity. But they've done it in the past with relief pitching, multiple times.
All indications are that they'd be content doing it with Hendriks. He's the top target, and while it shouldn't be beyond criticism, at least it's the right player for the closer role. The White Sox feel comfortable when the financial ceiling is lower, and the bidding for the 31-year-old shouldn't get too uncomfortable.
Hendriks would make an already-great White Sox bullpen one of the very best in the sport. La Russa likes shortening games, and having the Aussie fireballer at the back end does just that. The conjecture over the appropriate use of resources will and should continue, but nobody can deny that the club would be setting themselves up to be one of the favorites in the American League by adding Hendriks. And that's kind of the point of this whole operation.
Flores is the first USC alum to pitch for the White Sox since the late Tom Seaver, who passed away earlier this week.
USC has produced 116 major leaguers over the years — more than any other NCAA program in the nation. Trojan alums boast 67 All-Star appearances, 29 World Series appearances, nine Cy Young awards, three Hall of Fame inductions, three Rookie of the Year Awards, one American League MVP and one World Series MVP.

Garrett Crochet is part of the 2021 plans for the Chicago White Sox.
When the 2020 season ended for Garrett Crochet and the Chicago White Sox, we were forced to fear the worst. He left game three of their series with the Oakland Athletics with an injury that had us all fearing he was going to need Tommy John surgery.
Well, when Rick Hahn addressed the media after the season, he announced that Crochet would not need the surgery and would be ready to go by Spring Training. It was a sigh of relief because losing him for all of 2021 would have been a tough pill to swallow.
White Sox Garrett Crochet Jersey
Crochet was drafted in the 2020 MLB Draft. It is very rare for a player to make his MLB debut during the season he was drafted but those sorts of things happened during the COVID-19 season. He was brilliant but when the season ended you had to wonder if the White Sox would have him down in the Minor Leagues when they get their seasons back.
Authentic Garrett Crochet Jersey
It sounds like he will be given the chance to make the MLB team for the 2021 season. New White Sox pitching coach, Ethan Katz, went on the White Sox Talk Podcast to discuss all things involved with White Sox pitching. Of course, the topic of Garrett Crochet came up and Katz had some interesting things to say.
Womens Garrett Crochet Jersey
Katz told Chuck Garfien that "He is going to be a big part of what we do next year". That really sounds like Katz believes that Crochet will be used with the big club starting on Opening Day. You have to think that he has big-time input and inside information into what the organization believes as well. Katz is a very smart pitching mind and has been successful with helping out some of the best young pitchers in the game.
Cheap Garrett Crochet Jersey
HOT: The White Sox made the right catching decision
Crochet has all of the talents in the world. He can throw the ball north of 100 miles per hour. He played in five games in 2020 and he was dominant in that short sample size. We saw what happened with Giolito when Katz started helping him in the 2018-19 offseason. It makes you wonder what he might be able to do with a kid like Garrett Crochet. We don't know if it will be as a reliever or a starter in 2021 but Katz definitely sees him as someone who will be with the big club right away.

What grade does Jimmy Cordero deserve for his busy 2020 season?
Jimmy Cordero began his career with the Washington Nationals in 2018. He made his way over to the Toronto Blue Jays in 2019 but was traded to the Chicago White Sox in the same season. He has now played with the White Sox longer than any other team in only two years but he is starting to become well known.
He hasn't been as good as he would have liked but a lot of it doesn't feel like his fault. Rick Renteria overused him so bad in 2020 and it looked like it affected his numbers.
The Chicago White Sox, along with all of Major League Baseball, were forced to play a short 60-game season because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Out of those 60 games, Renteria used Cordero in 30 of them. It was a remarkable amount of games to use one reliever. It makes even less sense when you consider his numbers and some of the other names in the White Sox bullpen.

His numbers were probably skewed the wrong way because of his usage but at the end of the day, his 6.08 ERA and 1.575 WHIP are awful numbers. He had a -0.9 WAR but the team still decided to give him 26.2 innings over 30 games. They were a playoff team and one of the best teams in the American League so they get somewhat of a pass but they can't be doing that next season.

CHICAGO — Right-handed reliever Evan Marshall and the White Sox avoided arbitration by agreeing on a one-year, $2 million contract.
The White Sox announced the deal on Thursday, one day after agreeing on a one-year, $1.375 million deal with outfielder Adam Engel to also avoid arbitration.
Womens Jimmy Cordero Jersey
Marshall, 30, finished 2-1 with a 2.38 ERA in the abbreviated 2020 season during the White Sox first playoff appearance since 2008 and their first winning season since 2012. Marshall recorded eight holds, 30 strikeouts in 22 2/3 innings and a 1.06 WHIP over 23 relief appearances, marking his second season with the White Sox. He averaged a career-best 11.91 strikeouts per nine innings and limited opponents to a .198 batting average (17-for-86), including a .119 mark (5-for-42) vs. left-handers.
Cheap Jimmy Cordero Jersey
Originally signed by the White Sox as a free agent on Oct. 30, 2018, Marshall has a 6-3 record with a 2.45 ERA over 73 1/3 innings and 78 appearances over his last two seasons. Marshall was one of nine White Sox pitchers who took the mound in the deciding third game of the American League Wild Card Series loss to the A's, hurling two innings and throwing a season-high 45 pitches.
Staff ace Lucas Giolito and fellow right-handed pitcher Reynaldo López represent the only two arbitration-eligible players remaining on the White Sox. Marshall will play an important role once again in a bullpen featuring Aaron Bummer, Garrett Crochet, Codi Heuer, Matt Foster, Jace Fry, Jimmy Cordero and an expected veteran addition or two, potentially at closer.
2020 grade: C-
Cordero's numbers are bad that he deserves a D for this season but he gets bumped up to a C- because of his usage. He probably could be an effective reliever if he is used the right way over the course of a full season.
Youth Jimmy Cordero Jersey
The Chicago White Sox are certainly going to have him back next year so they need to figure out a plan for him. There is no way that he needs to be playing in half of the games under any circumstances. There are some great arms in this bullpen around him and they might not even be done adding.

2021 will be a big year for Cordero because he should (hopefully) be given a humane amount of innings and be put in a better position to succeed. If he does that and still has the WAR and ERA that he had in 2020 they might cut ties with him. Hopefully, it works out for him because that would also be great for the team.

Chicago White Sox Dylan Cease Jersey Online, Cheap Dylan Cease Jersey For Sale, Womens Dylan Cease Jersey, Youth Black Gold Dylan Cease Jersey Free Shipping.
CHICAGO — Dylan Cease provided a very real and honest perspective when asked about his 2020 season. Real and honest, but with great hope for the immediate future.
"I consider it to be bad," Cease said. "I competed so there's that. But yeah, I wasn't happy with it. … Last season was pretty disappointing for me, but I'm not going into 2021 with a negative attitude by any means. I'm looking forward to it."
Cease, who slotted in third or fourth after Lucas Giolito and Dallas Keuchel, finished 5-4 with a 4.01 ERA over 12 starts and 58 1/3 innings in 2020. It was the 24-year-old's second season in the Majors, but he has yet to make a full season's worth of starts, with just 26 combined.
So, there's nothing but development ahead for the right-hander whose 97.5 mph average four-seamer velocity ranked him fifth highest in 2020, per Statcast. Cease already has begun work with new pitching coach Ethan Katz, starting with a 40-minute talk during the first week Katz was hired.
White Sox Dylan Cease Jersey
They believe a great deal of Cease's struggles were related to his lower half.
"Just pretty much not utilizing it correctly," Cease said. "If you are not using your lower half correctly, everything else is going to be off."
"We've all seen the flashes of what his stuff is capable of doing when it's all aligned," White Sox general manager Rick Hahn said. "And quite frankly, I'm excited to see him after a period of time working with Ethan Katz and seeing where that leads us."
Authentic Dylan Cease Jersey
Before the 2020 season even started, it seemed the White Sox would go as far as the starting pitching behind the reliable 1-2 punch of Lucas Giolito and Dallas Keuchel would allow them to.
And that's exactly how things played out, the White Sox ousted from the playoffs in three games without a third starting-pitching option to depend on.
The front office has already done significant work to solve that problem ahead of a 2021 campaign with World Series aspirations, trading for Lance Lynn, about as dependable a veteran arm as you'll find in the game. But again, the difference between a strong top three and a championship-caliber rotation will rest on what the arms behind those three can deliver.
Womens Dylan Cease Jersey
RELATED: Ethan Katz: Garrett Crochet will be big part of Sox in 2021
That's where new pitching coach Ethan Katz comes in. His main objective in his first year as a major league pitching coach? Taking some of the White Sox young arms from unproven to guys new manager Tony La Russa can confidently call on for starts in the postseason.
Though Katz has multiple pupils, including Michael Kopech and Reynaldo López, perhaps no one will be under a bigger microscope in 2021 than Dylan Cease.
Cheap Dylan Cease Jersey
Cease shouldn't be expected to be a finished product at this point. He doesn't even have a full season's worth of big league starts on his resume, with just 26 of them over the past two years. But Cease's 2020 campaign was marked by struggles. He kept his ERA down — finishing with a 4.01 mark that was a vast improvement from the 5.79 number he finished with in 2019 — but spent the entire year getting into too many jams, issuing too many walks and giving up too many home runs.
Those are the problems Katz needs to solve if the White Sox big three in the rotation is going to turn into a big four.
Well, Katz and Cease have already started working toward accomplishing just that.
Youth Dylan Cease Jersey
"He's working extremely diligently right now. Our communication right now, we're going back and forth almost every day or every other day. He's working, he's putting in the work to put himself in that position. … I think he's very close," Katz told Our Chuck Garfien on the White Sox Talk Podcast. "I have a lot of things, but I also know I don't want to (be) like, 'Bam, here's everything,' and I lose him. So we're kind of working on that delivery right now as the main focus to be able to propel his stuff and be consistent, and that right now is our main focus.
"As he continues to get better and better and he feels good about it, we'll add on another layer and another layer and another layer, and it's just going to keep going and going.
"When we see a product where everyone's going to be like, 'That's the guy we've been looking for,' I don't have an answer. But I'm going to strive to make that happen right away."
If Katz can do that, if Cease can match his tantalizing stuff with consistent on-field success, then the White Sox rotation would take another huge step toward being championship caliber, making the team's World Series hopes for 2021 all the more realistic.
• What's next for White Sox? Hahn: 'We'll see'
Doing drills with the core velocity belt, a tool adeptly employed by Giolito, is just one of the changes that Cease and Katz have discussed.
"Ethan is very analytical and up to date with all the new technology," said Cease, who also praised the work done with Don Cooper, the previous White Sox pitching coach since 2002. "He's got a lot of ideas and he's got a track record. Those two things right there make it very exciting.
"He sent me video. As soon as I get core velocity, I'll be FaceTiming him. There's a pretty good chance I'm going to go out to him at some point this offseason so he can be a little more hands on and I can work with him in person."
Fastball command became Cease's biggest issue in 2020, as he ranked second in the Majors with 34 walks against 44 strikeouts, and he had an especially rough finish to the season by allowing 14 earned runs on 19 hits and 16 walks over 22 1/3 innings in five September starts. Cease had a particularly strange outing on Sept. 20 in Cincinnati, in that he didn't allow a hit and struck out five over three-plus innings and 80 pitches, but he also walked seven, hit a batter and yielded three earned runs in a 7-3 loss.
It was the sort of finish erasing Cease from the possibility of a Game 3 start in the American League Wild Card Series in Oakland.
"At the end of the day, if you don't know where the ball is going, it's not a great feeling," Cease said. "So, in those moments, I'm just competing and trying to focus and do the best I can.
"You have to be realistic. I can't have a start like those and just be happy and pleased with it. I know I have to execute my pitches and I have to find a way to do that. I try to take that objective view of it. Just really try to figure out what I have to do to improve. I'm excited to work with Ethan and figure out some solutions."
The acquisition of Lance Lynn takes pressure off young starters such as Cease, Michael Kopech and even Reynaldo López. Cease certainly has the stuff to excel, but he'll be working to find the execution to optimize his mound work.
"The kid's got a great arsenal," Hahn said. "If we were so inclined to put him out there, he'd be a very popular trade target because the industry sees very similar to what we see. We look forward to him developing as a White Sox here over the coming months and years."
"This offseason is really important for me. Like I said, I'm not super thrilled with last year's performance so I plan on putting in work," Cease said. "Really, it comes down to just executing and being able to throw my pitches for strikes. I've got the pitches. I've got the stuff. Now, it's just molding it and using it."

I've been spending a fair amount of time going through our items and donating what we don't need, and I've taken an interest in small-space living, decor, organizing, and cooking!
I have maintained my capsule wardrobe. It has been nearly two years since I adopted a capsule wardrobe. I remember I made the decision a few weeks before my husband and I went to New York, and we were able to pack all our belongings in a carry-on for the entire week. This way of thinking has transformed the way I dress, eat, and spend money. In the past two years I have spent less than $100 on my clothing, plus roughly $100 on running shoes. The majority of my exercise clothing is secondhand, and 90% of my daily wear is second-hand. I own two pair of jeans--one green and one blue--and I have an array of dresses, leggings, and designer shoes (secondhand) that I wear on a regular basis. I don't count the amount of items I have; I just know that what I do have is manageable, in good shape, and looks good on me.
My interest in style has made me more aware of our space, and it has also given me a better appreciation for living in a small space. Sometimes it's difficult to be content in a small home when others have much larger homes, but when I think of the benefits of having a small space (less to clean, less to buy, less to maintain) I am thankful for what I have.
Here's our kitchen space. We spend a lot of our time here! The kitty coffee mug was a souvenir from Rome, and the gorgeous jade plant was a gift from back when Audrey was born. Everything else was purchased or given to us secondhand.
I have been diffusing lavender at night, and it has been amazing. I use it every night when I go to bed, and I believe it helps with my quality of sleep. My home is slowly transforming into the tranquil space I've wanted it to be for years. In the future, I'll be adding more plants to my home and experimenting with different oils.
My husband and I have been cooking. We cook a lot, as in every night, and we sit down to eat dinner as a family. This was my one request once my first daughter, Audrey, was born. I wanted to be a family that sat down to eat together. We're very tech-savvy and worldly, so this is important to me because I believe in the good that can come from a home-cooked meal. It's important physically, emotionally, and I'll go as far as to say cooking can be a spiritual experience. Believe me, I need a lot of help from God to cook.
We have perfected several recipes recently, which I'll share in future posts.
For the past year I have been working on a children's book. I work on it at my own pace, without pressure from anyone, and it's for fun, but I'd like to publish someday. One of my goals since childhood has been to write a book, and when I was in college a professor of mine--whom I fully respect--mentioned to our class that we shouldn't publish a book until we're at least in our thirties. I don't remember what the context was surrounding this theory, but I took it as law, and I'd like to publish my first book to the world at age 30. That gives me two (or more) years to complete this project, and I think I can do it. I'm not sure if I'll go through a publisher. I think I'll tackle the project solo and publish via Amazon. I have a little bit of time to prepare.
I have been working on my friendships. It's easy to forget that friendships take time to make and maintain. Sometimes I have to drink an extra cup of coffee to meet up with old friends, new friends, and college friends every couple weeks. It keeps me young and in touch, and it's refreshing to be around people who don't need something from you. ← That's sad, but true. With working full-time and having a 50-mile commute, this can be so hard, but it's so worth it.
I went indoor rock climbing with my friends from college for my 28th birthday!
This was my first year fully committing to a New Year's Resolution, and it's actually working. I have officially lost 10 pounds of baby weight since January 15th, and as of this morning I have 10 pounds to go. My progress has been slow, but steady, and I'm pleased with it. While many blogs and Pinterest boards might suggest women should gain and lose baby weight within 9 months, it actually takes the average woman more than one year to recover from childbirth. That's totally normal.
I'll be writing when I have time, but I've made it a priority to write more for others. I enjoy publishing short articles like the one you're reading above, so in the future you can look forward to some recipes, healthy living tips, parenting and career updates, and more. Ciao!
Allow me to share some of my lifestyle inspiration! These bloggers and documentaries have helped piece together my personal style and interests.


Parshat Vayishlach marks the conclusion of the bitter feud between Jacob and Esau. After much anxiety and one long night's journey into transcendence during which Jacob wrestles with an angel representing his brother's spirit, the two estranged siblings meet, hug and go their separate ways.
It's far from a Hollywood ending: Penitent and fearful, Jacob seeks to appease his brother with gifts, putting together a generous offering of assorted beasts; all those camels and goats, he hopes, would make everything right between them. It's a thoroughly modern approach—throwing money (or cattle) at the problem and hoping that bounty would smooth over even the hilliest of emotional terrains. In putting together his gift, it doesn't occur to Jacob that his brother—who he knows had, since their last parting, grown wealthy and powerful—might have no use for all these animals. Jacob isn't thinking rationally; he just wants the problem to go away.
And, much to Jacob's relief, when he finally does meet his brother, they meet amicably: "Esau ran toward him [Jacob] and embraced him, and he fell on his neck and kissed him, and they wept." Esau's willingness to reconcile, however, seems to have nothing to do with Jacob's excessive gifts, as he initially turns them down.
Jacob's gifts and Esau's response might offer some insight to anyone concerned with addressing global hunger, a problem of enormous magnitude, affecting nearly one billion people around the world. Put simply, anyone thinking seriously about combating hunger may want to consider the lessons from Parshat Vayishlach—namely, the idea that gifts are sometimes motivated by self interest rather than sheer altruism, aren't always in the best interest of the recipient, and lack consideration for the reality of the conditions on the ground.
While not exactly gifts per se, emergency food shipments to nations in need often end up causing more damage than good. Take Haiti, for example, a nation which used to produce nearly half of all the rice it consumed. Following decades of damaging free trade agreements and in-kind food aid and the delivery of 15,000 tons of American rice after the 2010 earthquake, the nation's agricultural economy has been decimated, with local farmers unable to compete with the massive shipments of free grain flooding the island. Thanks to all of these "gifts," Haiti now imports 80 percent of the rice its population consumes.
While shipments of food may be needed in the immediate aftermath of emergencies, our government's policy of always sending American food rather than cash to buy food from local farmers foments a vicious cycle that often brings about disastrous outcomes. And American food policy, effective as it is sometimes is in providing immediate relief to those who need it most, is often responsible for devastating long-term repercussions such as the rice shortage currently plaguing Haiti.
Parshat Vayishlach offers us a simple solution: give gifts that will strengthen and build relationships, rather than throwing money and resources at a problem without consideration for how to solve it in the long-term. Rather than send American food to places like Haiti, we should seek to purchase food from locally grown sources whenever possible or to provide cash vouchers that allow people to buy food that is available but often too expensive during moments of crisis. Solutions such as these work simultaneously to relieve hunger and bolster the local economy and food security.
American Jewish World Service is circulating a petition along these lines, calling on Congress to amend the 2012 Farm Bill and make sure we provide long-term solutions that address both hunger and poverty with respect, consideration and clear-mindedness. We should all sign it. We owe Jacob and Esau as much.

State official acknowledges failures in tracking John Gardner
June 3, 2010 8:22 AM PT
BY KEN FIELDS
Slain North County teenagers Amber Dubois and Chelsea King might still be alive if the state corrections system had strictly monitored and punished the repeat parole violator who went on to rape and murder them, according to a report released Wednesday by California Inspector General David Shaw.
The critical analysis of the state's post-incarceration oversight of John Albert Gardner III concludes that the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation failed to identity and halt the ex-convict's "aberrant behavior," including the previously undisclosed felony offense of unlawfully entering the grounds of a state prison.
"Successful prosecution of (that) crime and administrative action in response to his parole violations could have sent Gardner back to prison, making it impossible for him to murder the two young girls and commit (an unrelated) attempted sexual assault,' Shaw wrote.
Gardner, who pleaded guilty last month to raping and killing the high school students and assaulting a young woman, committed at least seven parole violations - including living near a school, possessing marijuana and driving with an open container of alcohol - before being arrested in late February on suspicion of murdering Chelsea, according to law enforcement officials.
"The (Corrections) department did not identify Gardner's crime and parole violations because even though it placed a (Global Positioning System) device on Gardner in September 2007, it did not require parole agents to review the GPS data associated with the device,'' the inspector general stated.
In response to Shaw's assertions, state prisons Secretary Matthew Cate pledged to "address the GPS issues" raised in the report while continuing to "stand with our parole staff as they take on the extremely difficult job of supervising 109,000 offenders across California."
"This department is wholly dedicated to the mission of public safety," Cate said. "As such, we are always deeply grieved by the loss or victimization of anyone at the hands of a current or former parolee, especially when it involves young people ... whose lives are cut short or threatened by a monster like John Gardner."
Cate pointed out that although Gardner was being tracked by a GPS device when he illegally drove into a parking lot at R.J. Donovan State Prison in Otay Mesa in July 2008, he was in a category requiring "passive" monitoring.
Under that system, which is no longer in effect, only parolees deemed a "high risk'' of re-offending were subject to constant, or "active," GPS supervision, Cate noted.
When questioned about the violation, Gardner told officials he had gone to the penitentiary to drop off a friend so she could visit an inmate, according to Shaw.
The prisons chief described the task of tracking the state's parolees as a daunting workload, stating that "unless one has worked as (a parole) agent on the streets, it is difficult to understand the challenges of supervising 40 sex offenders."
"For example, the department's 274 agents assigned to (those duties) received 934,000 GPS alerts last year," Cate wrote in his response. "I know you will agree that to effectively manage the alerts, the agents must have the ability to focus on the most important, without fear that every advisory alert might end their career."
Gardner, 31, was sentenced to a pair of consecutive life prison terms plus 49 years for raping and murdering Amber, 14, and Chelsea, 17, and assaulting 22-year-old Candice Moncayo with the intent to rape her.
A special task force continues to investigate whether Gardner, a former Lake Elsinore resident who was sent to prison in 2000 for sexually assaulting a 13-year-old neighbor girl, is responsible for any other unsolved kidnappings, rapes or homicides, according to law enforcement officials.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it's about so much more than the cigar – it's about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I'm the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury and the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for MLB.com, plus I'm a voice over artist. I previously covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.

Dr. Hooman Melamed talks about the ideal diet for optimal health and how it can help you avoid back injuries when coupled with exercise and lifestyle changes. A proper diet is key to minimizing silent inflammation in the body, which heightens the risk of injury. Dr. Melamed stresses the importance of avoiding processed sugars and foods. When choosing an animal protein, he recommends grass-fed beef, pasture raised chickens and eggs and wild caught seafood.
He highly supports a modified paleo diet, which is high in veggies, natural animal protein, low glycemic index fruits, and unrefined complex carbohydrates (quinoa, brown rice, whole wheat). Since eating and digesting stimulates the brain, Dr. Melamed recommends trying out intermittent fasting. A proper diet can maintain youthfulness and longevity, help you heal better from injuries, and is especially important before and after surgery.

Ringo Starr | UK
Beatles legend Ringo Starr is one of our global Non-Violence ambassadors. The British musician is known for his political engagement in which he repeatedly inspires and invites musicians from all genres and generations to unite behind the Non-Violence Project with the aim to stop the violence that affects mainly young people.
The former Beatle created his own design on the charity's signature logo of the "Knotted Gun" statue "Non-Violence" which was originally created by Swedish artist Carl Fredrik Reuterswärd as a memorial tribute to John Lennon.
In an urgent call to action, Ringo urged musicians from across genres and generations to unite behind The Non-Violence Project and it's aim to put a stop to violence affecting young people. Ringo was joined at the "Knotted Gun" unveiling held exclusively in the Gibson Guitar Studio in London.

How to Bet With Horse Racing Pedigrees
The Betting Guide for Horse Racing Pedigrees
No matter what track(s) you bet or days of the week you might play, many a handicapping riddle can be clarified, or sometimes solved, by a closer examination of a horse's pedigree.
Most knowledgeable players will rely heavily on pedigree information to form an opinion on certain types of races. Maiden races for juveniles or three-year-olds, in particular those containing a number of first-time starters, are wagering opportunities where the importance and understanding of pedigree can be extremely useful.
Pedigree can also be an indicator of how well a horse will adapt to doing something for the first time. Bettors will often look to a horse's ancestry to determine a potential fondness for running over dirt or turf, handling an off track (i.e. less than fast), or tackling an unfamiliar distance.
Handicappers of long standing can readily identify notable sires, dams, and damsires, forming basic opinions on how a horse in question might perform under new circumstances. However, supplementary or enhanced pedigree information can be of greater use, especially when the bloodlines or the background of a particular horse is not readily apparent.
Brisnet.com's litany of reports and handicapping information are terrific sources for enhanced pedigree information. Bettors can find many of the most useful statistics in condensed form on the Brisnet Ultimate Past Performances.
On each individual horse's past performances, handicappers will find various sire, damsire, and dam statistics. Sire and damsire stats available include the average winning distance of all offspring and the winning percentage and number of starters in the mud (off tracks). Past performances of first-time starters also include the sire's and damsire's percentage of first-time winners overall. In turf races, the overall win percentage on turf and for first-time starters on grass are provided for both the sire and damsire.
Dam statistics provided include their highest level of attainment on the racetrack (e.g. stakes winner, stakes-placed, winner, unplaced), the number of starters, winners, and stakes winners produced, and, when applicable, the number of turf winners produced.
Brisnet Ultimate Past Performances also contain BRIS Pedigree Ratings in the tabulated race records section. These ratings measure the quality and suitability of the horse's breeding for races run on dirt, wet surfaces, at today's distance on and on the turf.
Naturally, the higher the percentage of success in several of these various categories, the more attractive it is. A success rate of 10% or higher, to use an arbitrary figure, is worthy of serious attention.
An example of where Brisnet pedigree information can be highly useful are in maiden races restricted to state-bred company. The following filly debuted on March 12, 2017 at Santa Anita in a maiden claiming (50,000-$40,000) race for California-bred or –sired fillies and mares going six furlongs.
Bobbie Lincoln's sire, Tribal Rule, is best known for getting Grade 1 winners Georgie Boy and Spanish Queen. More importantly for this example is the fact his first-time starters win at a highly-respectable 14 percent clip.
Another positive piece of news is that Bobbie Lincoln's dam, Royal Turka, has thrown three winners from four to race. Owner-breeder Peter Vajda has obviously been doing something right cultivating this family and making it productive.
Handicappers willing to do a little more grunt work using Brisnet reports #200 (Broodmare Produce Report) and #5027 (Lifetime Starts) will have found an even more interesting tidbit. Two of Bobbie Lincoln's three half-siblings also won first out: Snow Monarch broke his maiden in 2006 at Turf Paradise and paid $10.80, while Maya Angelina made a wining debut four years later at Ruidoso Downs, winning by 10 3/4 lengths and paying $7.20.
Bobbie Lincoln became the third first-out winner produced by her dam after scoring by 1 1/2 lengths over the 17-10 favorite, who had already lost twice at the class level. Bobbie Lincoln paid $9.80.
Another interesting pedigree play occurred earlier on the afternoon of March 12 at Gulfstream Park, where Danceland was making her second career start on the grass in a maiden special weight for three-year-old fillies going 1 1/16 miles.
A homebred racing for Joe Allen, Danceland didn't fare badly in her turf debut seven weeks earlier, losing by less than four lengths after showing tactical speed in her two-turn debut.
In addition to the relatively high BRIS Pedigree Ratings noted in her tabulated record, Danceland obviously has bloodlines that stand out at first glance. She is by Tapit, one of the world's leading stallions, who commanded a $300,000 fee at the time of Danceland's conception, and she's out of a winning mare by Storm Cat.
The average winning distance for offspring of Tapit is 7 1/2 furlongs, so it wasn't a stretch to think Danceland might improve this time going an extra furlong. The filly's female family, as you would expect, is impressive, too. Wonder Woman has reared seven winners from nine starters, including five turf winners and two stakes winners.
However, digging deeper into the filly's family background, using Brisnet pedigree report #750 (Catalog Page), we find several reasons to suggest this filly's future is well ahead of her.
Not only has Danceland's dam, Wonder Woman, enjoyed a solid career as a producer, but the stock of her own immediate family had risen greatly in recent years. Well after Wonder Woman hit the broodmare paddocks, her three-quarter brother Naval Officer became a Group 3 winner in France. A few years later, their half-brother War Command captured the prestigious Dewhurst (G1) at Newmarket.
In a race where the 5-2 favorite had already run second four times in six attempts, there was enough in Danceland's familial and racing background to suggest we had not yet seen the best from her and that she would be a better value than the generally exposed public choice.
Rating less than four lengths off the pace at every call, Danceland split rivals late and won by a neck. The win payoff was $25.80.

Global Digital Assets Lending Agreement
In addition to covering the law and regulating blockchain, smart contracts and digital assets, this newsletter also discusses legal developments that support the infrastructure and ecosystems that enable the use and acceptance of these new technologies. The UK Legal Commission is launching projects on smart contracts and digital assets. On 21 September, the UK Legal Committee announced that it had launched two projects to adapt English law for smart contracts and digital assets. The Legal Committee said it would analyse the Smart Contracts Act to find loopholes in legislation and identify reforms to ensure that the law could respond to the growing use of the technology. In addition, the Commission will look at digital assets to ensure that the law is able to accommodate electronic documents, crypts and other digital assets to enable technology to flourish. OCC advises on the risks of facilitating ransomware payments. On October 1, the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) issued a recommendation on the risks of potential sanctions related to facilitating ransomware payments to companies that facilitate ransomware payments to cyber actors on behalf of victims, including financial institutions, cyber-insurance companies and companies involved in digital forensics and incident response. OFAC argues that facilitating these payments may violate OFAC rules and potentially encourage future ransomware payment requirements. Judge Alvin Hellerstein of the Southern District of New York gave a summary verdict to the SEC, which determined that the token Kin issued by Kik Interactive, Inc. was a guarantee. After the telegram`s decision, this conclusion is not surprising.
On the contrary, he points out that many of the proposed arguments that digital tokens are not titles will not be successful. Read more. The SEC issues a letter of action that allows ATS to manage transactions with digital asset security. On September 25, the SEC Division of Trading and Markets (DTM) issued a non-action letter on the role of registered broker dealers in other trading systems (ATS) that trade in digital asset securities. The letter states that the DTM will not recommend any SEC enforcement action if a broker who operates an ATS is able to facilitate trade between the broker and his clients under the following conditions: Gabriella Kusz, Director, Global DCA Phone: `1-847-644-3686 Email: gabby.kusz@global-dca.org "As part of our trip, we saw the opportunity to reinvent the legal framework that protects both parties in the stock exchange. Security and transparency for our institutional clients were at the heart of the development before our launch of the platform. That`s why we were advised by Norton Rose Fulbright and worked together to ensure that our clients` agreements meet international and institutional standards and provide the security they must implement today and beyond in these markets.
