Acid-base balance (sometimes called acid-alkaline balance) can be a complex and confusing topic. Today, I want to simplify it and give you the essential info you need to look after and improve your health. So stick with me and I’ll take you through it from a naturopath’s perspective.
Even if chemistry has never been your thing you might remember back to school days and the lesson on pH. There was talk of “acids”, “bases” and “buffers”. You might recall litmus paper that turned pink or blue when dipped in different substances depending on that substance’s pH. The numbers for pH range from 1 (being very acidic) to 14 being very alkaline (or base) with a pH of 7 being neutral.
Your blood has a normal pH of 7.35-7.45 (just slightly more alkaline than the neutral point of 7). It’s a pretty small range and any variance outside this range has significant detrimental consequences for your health, potentially a medical emergency. So, as you can imagine, your body has some pretty neat ways of ensuring you maintain that critical number at all times. These systems are your buffering systems.
The problem is, every food and substance you put in your mouth has the potential to impact your pH, pushing it one way or the other (remember the litmus paper). Furthermore, your own essential metabolic processes result in end-products that also have an impact on your blood pH.
Don’t confuse acid taste with acid pH*
It’s easy to confuse the concept of acid-alkaline balance with foods that taste “acidic” (e.g. lemons). But what we’re talking about is how that food is metabolised or broken down, and the effect the end substance has on your blood pH. To take the lemon as an example, it tastes acidic or tart but when digested its effect on your blood is actually alkaline.
We measure the impact of food on your blood pH by something called the Potential Renal Acid Load (PRAL). In simple terms, PRAL is a measure of the net acidic effects of different foods once metabolised (and therefore a measure of how hard your body needs to work to buffer that acid load).
In general, fruit and vegetables have a lower PRAL and therefore an alkalising effect on your body. Animal foods (including fish, dairy and eggs), sugar and grains have a higher PRAL and therefore put more acid into your system (which then requires buffering).
As an example, you would need to eat 300g of vegetables to offset the acid load of 100g of meat.
Why do you need to consider your acid-base balance?
If I have these buffering systems to help keep my blood pH in the safe range why do I need to worry if my diet has a higher acid load? Good question!
Do you eat a fairly typical Australian diet consisting of meat, dairy, eggs, processed foods, lots of grain foods and sugar but low in fruit and vegetables?
If so, you will be placing constant demands on your buffering systems. If you smoke, take drugs or drink a large amount of alcohol you further burden your system. Add to this the metabolic by-products of your own biochemistry. These include the effects of stress, intense exercise, inflammation, disease and aging which all have a net acid load on your body.
As a consequence, your buffering systems will be working very hard to maintain that slightly alkaline blood pH.
To maintain your blood pH, you will draw on your supplies of alkalising minerals such as calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium. These come from your tissues, especially your bones and muscles. You also excrete acid via the kidneys (so remember to drink water), however, your ability to do this declines by approximately 1% per year from the age of thirty.
Eventually, your buffering systems can’t keep up with the acid burden and you end up in a state of chronic mild metabolic acidosis.
The possible signs of acid-base imbalance
Mild metabolic acidosis can go unnoticed for years however there are some clues that I look out for that could indicate a problem with your acid-base buffering systems. These include:
- Generalised weakness or unusual muscle fatigue
- Loss of appetite
- Nausea and vomiting or just feeling “off colour”
Conditions which can be exacerbated or caused by prolonged mild metabolic acidosis include:
- Kidney disease and kidney stones
- Osteoporosis or osteopenia
- Loss of muscle (known as sarcopenia)
- Insulin resistance and high blood glucose
- High blood pressure
- Inflammation and pain
- Difficulty losing weight
- Impaired thyroid function
Do any of these apply to you?
Obviously, there might be other reasons behind these conditions as well, but addressing acid-base balance should not be overlooked.
As a naturopath how do I assess your acid-base picture?
There are a number of aspects to consider when taking your case history. Obviously your diet and lifestyle will be explored in detail. I will also look for signs of magnesium or calcium deficiency. A high demand for these nutrients can be a clue to an acid-base imbalance.
Another measure can be determined from your general pathology tests when your blood electrolytes are assessed. From your results we can look at your blood bicarbonate levels as well as work out your anion gap. This is a clue as to how hard your buffering systems are working to maintain blood pH.
A further test can measure your urinary pH. Your urine is one of the end products of your metabolism so an acidic urinary pH can be a clue to what’s happening in your body.
There are other, more sophisticated tests as well but the above assessments are a good place to start.
Where to from here?
The first thing to do is to consider how much of an acid load you are placing on your body. Think about the following. How many of them apply to you?
- a diet low in fruit and vegetables and high in animal foods, grains and processed foods
- smoking or alcohol
- regular intensive exercise
- pain or inflammation somewhere in your body
- a diagnosis of osteopenia or osteoporosis
- weight gain or blood sugar issues
- history of kidney stones or gout
- taking certain pharmaceutical medications on a regular basis
Rest assured that if you are a naturopathic client of mine, we will be watchful for the possibility of an acid-base imbalance and will implement appropriate dietary and nutritional treatments to reduce your acid burden.
If you think your acid-base balance could be contributing to how lousy you feel, book a free 15-minute Clarity Call (below) and let’s have a chat about it.
*As a side note, don’t confuse acid in the context of blood pH with “stomach acid”. The acid in your stomach (which is essential for your digestion) has a pH of around 1.5-3.5. It is highly acidic as a first line of defence against any bugs you might pick up from the food you eat and helps break food down into nutrients you can use.

Lorillard Inc. climbed to a record high Wednesday day on renewed speculation that Reynolds American Inc., the second-largest seller of cigarettes in the U.S., will make a bid for its smaller rival.
The shares jumped 10 percent to $62.63 yesterday after Reuters reported that Reynolds is in advanced talks to acquire Lorillard. The deal could take the form of a three-way transaction involving British American Tobacco Plc, which would take a “major role” in backing the merger, Reuters said.
tap here to see other videos from our team.
The two companies are the biggest sellers of tobacco in the U.S. after Altria Group Inc., and a deal would combine Reynolds brands such as Camel and Pall Mall with Lorillard’s Newport and Maverick. Newport is the nation’s top-selling menthol cigarette, which is popular in urban areas.
“It would certainly make for a stronger No. 2,” Bonnie Herzog, an analyst with Wells Fargo & Co. in New York, said in an interview. The Newport brand will give Reynolds a boost in the traditional cigarette industry, and Lorillard’s Blu electronic cigarettes will help it tap a fast-growing market, she said. The analyst has the equivalent of a buy rating on both Lorillard and Reynolds.
Merger speculation has propelled Lorillard shares up 24 percent this year through yesterday, while Reynolds’ stock has risen almost 20 percent. Lorillard has a market value of about $22 billion.
Bob Bannon, a spokesman for Greensboro, North Carolina- based Lorillard, declined to comment on the report, as did Bryan Hatchell, a spokesman for Winston-Salem, North Carolina-based Reynolds.
Shrinking U.S. demand for cigarettes is putting pressure on tobacco companies to team up. Cigarette shipment volumes fell by a median of 2.9 percent among the industry’s top U.S. companies, according to data compiled by Bloomberg Industries. While electronic cigarettes offer a growth opportunity, that market is still young and faces mounting regulation.
The Financial Times reported in March that Reynolds had hired Lazard to explore a deal. The companies are now working to finalize the transaction in the coming weeks, though it could take longer to come together because of the complexity, Reuters said, citing anonymous sources.
After its run-up yesterday, Lorillard declined 5.4 percent to $59.24 as of 10:25 a.m. in New York. Reynolds American fell 2 percent to $58.58 today after gaining 4.4 percent yesterday.
British American Tobacco, the London-based cigarette giant, owns 42 percent of Reynolds American. A standstill agreement barring the British company from increasing its stake ends in July. That could open the door to the companies working closer together amid a broader push for industry consolidation.
BAT may help finance Reynolds’s bid, Reuters said. That might let it maintain its stake in Reynolds, which has a total market value of $32 billion.
BAT shares advanced as much as 2.8 percent in London today, the steepest intraday gain in more than a month. The company is valued at about 67 billion pounds ($113 billion).
“We don’t know precisely what, if any, transaction could emerge, but we suspect that assuming one does it will be advantageous for BAT,” Adam Spielman, an analyst at Citigroup Inc. in London, said in a note.
Lorillard was founded in 1760 and calls itself the oldest continuously operated tobacco company in America. Aiming to capitalize on e-cigarette growth, the company acquired Blu eCigs in 2012 and Skycig in 2013. Blu has about 40 percent of the U.S. e-cigarette market.
Combining with Reynolds would bring a huge opportunity to cut costs, Ken Shea, an analyst for Bloomberg Industries, said in an interview.
“Think about all the redundancy of activities, whether it’s sales, manufacturing, the overhead,” he said. “There is just so much obvious synergy between these two companies.”

…..Insulted martyred farmers by spending Rs 8 crore of the exchequer on advertisements to justify anti-farmers black laws
….Indians are seeing modern-day ‘Nero’, farmers are dying and Modi is busy marketing his black laws
Chandigarh, February 13, 2021
Commenting on the statement made by Union Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar in Parliament on the number of farmers who lost their lives during the farmers’ agitation, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) said that the Union government was proving to be irresponsible, inhuman and arrogant towards its people. In a statement issued from the party headquarters, senior leader of AAP and Leader of Opposition (LoP) in Punjab Assembly, Harpal Singh Cheema, said that the centre government’s failure to provide details of the deaths of its own farmers proved that Prime Minister Narendra Modi government was an irresponsible government who are enslaved by the corporates to such an extent that they are willing to ignore the deaths of their own farmers.
He said that it was inhuman and arrogant for Union Minister Narendra Tomar to say in the Parliament that there were no statistics on the number of farmers martyred during the agitation. Cheema said that the farmers had been claiming the centre’s new farm laws as ‘death warrants’ for a long time but the government, justifying the death warrants of the farmers, had spent Rs. 7.95 crore on its advertisements. He said that it was an insult to the martyred farmers that the Modi government had spent crores of rupees of the exchequer to promote pro-corporate laws. “So far about 228 farmers have been martyred but it was highly reprehensible that the government had no plans for their families,” he added.
Cheema said that the farmers were working day and night to produce food for the country and the sons of the farmers were protecting the country at the borders and getting martyred; rejecting the same farmer is the most dishonourable act that a government can conduct. He said that instead of listening to the farmers of the country, the Union government had been saying that the farmers should believe in the government, that these laws were in their favour, but how can the people of the country trust the government, who had been deceiving them by making false promises.
He said that the fact that the centre government did not have the number of martyred farmers proved that the Modi government was dishonest. Cheema said that the Union government had become so enslaved by a few corporate houses that without them, it could not see any other citizen of the country. He said that till now the proverb of playing the flute of Nero had been used, but now the people of India were seeing the ‘Nero’ of the modern age. Cheema said that the ‘annadatas’ of our country were being martyred while fighting for their rights, but Prime Minister Narendra Modi rather tolerate this than to displease his corporate bosses.

- The NWT transportation system continues to improve.
- The NWT has an ongoing high level of Northern business and employment opportunities in the public
and private transportation sectors.
- The NWT has a safe and secure transportation system in all modes.
- The department has a high performance workplace that is adaptable, effective, efficient and innovative in delivering programs and services.
- The department will continue to ensure that the high quality of the NWT environment is maintained.
- The department supports local transportation infrastructure.
- Demand from industry and the public is increasing for new roads, improved all-weather and winter roads, and airport runway extensions to support development, inter-community travel, and a reduced cost of living in communities across the NWT. In recent years, the federal government allocated a large amount of infrastructure funding under various programs including the Canadian Strategic Investment Fund and the Building Canada Plan. The GNWT also invested in transportation infrastructure through the Reducing the Cost of Living Strategic Initiative. As these programs sunset, the Department must explore new partnership opportunities and financing alternatives for capital project delivery.
Sustaining an Under-Developed and Aging Transportation System
- The department is challenged by the need to upgrade substandard transportation infrastructure and to rehabilitate and replace aging infrastructure with limited resources. Much of the existing infrastructure in the NWT was built to the standards of the day and now requires extensive investments to maintain operability and reliability. Major culverts, bridge structures, and maintenance buildings are reaching the end of their lifecycles and must be rehabilitated or replaced.
- Investments are also required to replace chipsealed sections of the highway that have reached the end of their service lives (typically 5 to 7 years). If chipsealed sections are not resurfaced, then they must be returned to gravel to maintain safety.
Expanding the System to Connect Communities and Enable Development
- Expansion of the Northwest Territories’ transportation system will facilitate the diversification of the NWT economy and improve the quality of life for residents who will gain increased access to essential services, economic opportunities, increased mobility, and a reduced cost of living.
- The NWT has enormous potential to increase economic growth through enabling non-renewable resource development. The vast mineral potential alone is consistently ranked by mining companies surveyed by the Fraser Institute as one of the highest in North America, yet the NWT continues to have insufficient infrastructure required to achieve full potential.
Accommodating Increasing Regulatory Requirements
- The department is subject to an increase in regulatory requirements aimed at protecting the environment and ensuring public safety within the transportation system. In addition to territorial standards, the Department must comply with federal transportation safety, security, and environmental regulations.
- These regulations add increased monitoring and reporting responsibilities to staff workloads, driving the
need for additional resources to meet required efforts.
Adapting to Climate Change
- The NWT transportation system is vulnerable to the effects of climate change. The operating season for
winter roads and ice crossings rely on ice, snow, and cold temperatures. Over the pasts 20 years, the trend to warmer than normal temperatures has delayed the opening of ice bridges, reduced the operating
window of the winter road system, increased O&M costs, increased the use of consumables such as sand
and salt, and has led to increased variability and unreliability within the transportation system.
- Permafrost degradation increases the cost of operation and maintenance and accelerates the need for
capital rehabilitation. Pressure is increasing to adapt to the effects of climate change by improving surface and drainage conditions on highways and airport runways, realigning winter roads to overland right-of-ways, and building permanent bridges to extend and stabilize the winter road seasons.
Addressing Human Resource Pressures
- A healthy, productive, and sustainable workforce is essential to meet the Department goals and objectives. Age-related attrition is a significant challenge for the Department with 43 percent of the current workforce over the age of fifty. 29 percent oft he Department staff is eligible to change due to age-related attrition within the next four years. This is especially critical when examining the workforce by the type of position. Between 38 and 45 percent of middle and senior managers, engineers, technologists and service personnel are eligible to retire within the next ten years.

Which usually Female Competition is the Best to Marry?
When you happen to be looking for a life partner, it’s significant to consider a a few different factors. You would like to make sure you happen to be marrying someone who’s compatible with your individuality, lifestyle, and interests. And while most people prefer to get married to within their have race, additionally, there are many individuals that enjoy mixte marriages. But which female contest is the best to marry?
The answer to the question is complicated. It depends over a lot of factors, including tradition, family history, and personal personal preferences. However , there are several general rules that apply to most interracial lovers. First, you should https://alisateletovicartist.com/passionate-honeymoons-in-asia-how-to-effectively-date-women-from-a-unique-culture steer clear of marrying women who is certainly not your same ethnicity. The reason is it’s very hard to maintain a harmonious relationship with someone who has very different cultural prices and traditions. Moreover, you will likely experience some turmoil and displeasure as time goes on.
Moreover, if you want in order to avoid any concerns, you should choose a woman who is available to interracial internet dating. This means that she’s willing to night out a man who may be of a distinct ethnicity or male or female than her. In this manner, you’ll have the ability to have a successful interracial marital life with fewer issues.
Interracial connections can be very difficult for both the couple and their families. For example , black women of all ages are often evaluated by their parents and peers for marrying bright white men. These kinds of prejudices makes it very hard to allow them to find a appropriate mate. Additionally , it’s very important to black women to select a man that’s willing to acknowledge the decision.
Luckily, the prejudice against black women is certainly starting to transformation. However , it’s nonetheless very important intended for black females to be knowledgeable about their choices and to take into consideration the prejudice that exist. Educated dark-colored women are more liable to reach your goals in their jobs and to have got healthy relationships.
As a result, they are also more more likely to have kids who are happy and well-adjusted. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for all dark-colored women. Despite their successes, mail order brides from columbia most of them struggle to get suitable associates due to limited pool of dark-colored men.
Black ladies like Harris face several challenges which could leave them solo and childless even though they’d prefer to include a relationship and friends and family. In 2015, these folks were twice as probably being unmarried than white girls with similar educational backgrounds.
Educated dark women also have to compete with other races for available husband and wife. According to sociological homework, African history is devalued when compared with Western or Oriental history. As a result, many black women who are informed and beautiful having the attention that they can deserve inside the dating market.
General, the majority of Us citizens support interracial human relationships and marriages. Yet , some groups have a lot more conservative view on the issue. In 2008, 22% of black man newlyweds married a person from another type of race or ethnicity, while just simply 9% of black female newlyweds does the same. The gender distance is actually wider among Asians.

Everything converges in your being
I am standing under the open sky, and the whole existence, from everywhere, from every nook and corner, is converging in me – your ego cannot exist. In that openness where the whole existence is converging in you, you cannot exist as an I. You will exist as an open space, but not as a crystallized I.
Just sit under a tree. The breeze is blowing and the leaves of the tree are rustling. The wind touches you; it moves around you, it passes. But don’t allow it just to pass you; allow it to move within you and pass through you. Just close your eyes, and as it is passing through the tree and there is a rustling of the leaves, feel that you are also like a tree, open, and the wind is blowing through you – not by your side but right through you. The rustling of the tree will enter in you, and you will feel that from every pore of your body the air is passing. It is really passing through you. It is not only imagination, it is a fact – you have forgotten.
You are not only breathing through the nose, you are breathing through the whole body – from every pore of it, from millions of pores. If you are allowed to breathe through your nose, but all the pores of your body are closed, painted, you will die within three hours. You cannot be alive just by breathing through the nose. Every cell of your body is a living organism, and every cell is breathing. The air is really passing through you, but you have lost the contact. So sit under a tree and feel.
In the beginning it will look like imagination, but soon it will turn into a reality. It is a reality – that the air is passing through you. Then sit under a rising sun, and not only feel that the rays of the sun are touching you, but that they are entering you and passing through you, so you become vulnerable, you begin to feel open. And this can be done with everything
This openness has to be brought, this technique is saying that the whole existence is falling, converging on you – no resistance, welcoming, allowing it to converge. You will simply disappear, you will become a space, infinite space, because this infinite universe cannot converge on such a narrow atomic thing as the ego. It can converge only when you have become infinite like it, when you have yourself become an infinite space. But this happens. Slowly you have to become more and more sensitive and you have to become aware of your resistances.

With micro-diameter arrows taking the hunting world by storm, it’s no surprise that the inventor of the original micro-diameter shafts is making the best hunting arrows in 2021. Easton is packing their arrows with technology to create lighter weight arrows that rival the penetrative power of heavier arrows. All while keeping the accuracy and wind resistance of small-diameter shafts. Here are the best hunting arrows money can buy!
Table of Contents
1. Easton 4MM FMJ
Bowhunting’s Flagship Arrow. The 4MM FMJ’s dual-material design offers the most penetration and precision for 2021. The 4MM Full Metal Jacket has been updated with a new spine configuration, an all-new 8-32 point outsert system, and redesigned graphics. The standard 8-32 thread point outsert optimizes front-of-center for easier broadhead tuning and more durability. FMJ starts with an advanced carbon core foundation for lightweight strength. An aluminum full metal jacket adds kinetic energy, enhances accuracy, and pulls easier from targets. The combination provides the deepest penetration and more pass-through impacts for quicker kills and heavier blood trails.
2. Easton 4MM AXIS Long Range
Easton’s AXIS line is the original small diameter arrow, so it is no surprise that the newest member of the line is the one of the best hunting arrows for 2021. Made from 100% carbon fiber, the 4MM AXIS offers an optimized design for increased velocity. Reduced friction in-flight and on impact offer better penetration — ideal for longer distances. The 4MM comes with new aluminum point outserts. As a result, you get a stronger point system with better FOC accuracy. It comes in four popular spine sizes: 250, 300, 340, 400, for a wide range of draw weights and lengths. Additionally, shafts come with pre-installed nocks. Arrows come standard at ±.003 straightness, and Match Grade at ± .001-inch.
3. Easton 5MM FMJ
The 5MM FMJ is the core of the FMJ line-up. It has been time-tested and field proven by millions of bowhunters. While still a micro-diameter, this arrow is the mid-diameter for the FMJ line. As a result, the 5MM is a slightly heavier arrow, giving it more penetrative power. The carbon core is a durable light weight base. The aluminum full metal jacket adds a lower friction surface for enhanced kinetic energy, accuracy, and easier pulls. Included are pre-installed X nocks and X HIT 8-32 inserts. Sizes include 250, 300, 340, 400, 500. Standard straightness ± .002, and Match Grade ±.001.
4. Easton 5MM AXIS
The 5MM AXIS arrow is the perfect blend of speed and penetration making it one of the best hunting arrows. The micro-profile focuses kinetic energy into a small frontal area for less friction. As a result, you’ll have greater penetration and more successful hunts. The small diameter will fly more accurately through crosswind, making it ideal for hunting in variable conditions. The AXIS line uses Easton’s unique ACU- Carbon™ manufacturing process, which results in maximum consistency between arrows. The shafts include pre-installed 5mm insert and X nocks. Sizes come in a full range: 250, 300, 340, 400, 500, 600, 700 for use with slower bows. Standard straightness ± .003 and Match Grade ± .001
5. Easton 6.5 Match Grade
The Easton 6.5‘s consistency makes it among the best hunting arrows for 2021, because it’s manufactured with Easton’s Acu-Carbon™ process. ACU-Carbon™ is a continuously fed, single-die manufacturing method. As a result, Easton 6.5 shafts don’t need to be sealed, making them the most consistent and balanced shafts from dozen to dozen. This further benefits the bowhunter with better accuracy in the field. The Easton 6.5 also includes Microlite nocks and new 6.5mm inserts. The 6.5mm inserts are larger to boost FOC. Simultaneously, the Microlite nocks save on weight, which in turn increase velocity. The Carbon 6.5 comes in three models: the Bowhunter (± .006), the Hunter Classic (± .003), and the Match Grade (±.001).

Keywords: attachment, bar, immediate loading, implant, Locator, overdentures, SFI
Purpose: This study aimed to examine clinical and patient-centered outcomes of resilient stud and stress-free bar attachments used for immediately loaded implants supporting mandibular overdentures.
Materials and methods: Thirty edentulous patients with sufficient bone mesial and distal to the mental foramen received new dentures. The patients were randomly assigned into two groups. After 3 months of adaptation, four implants were placed in the canine and second premolar areas of the mandible using computer-guided surgery and the flapless surgical approach. Overdentures were connected immediately to the implants using either resilient stud (Locator) or stress-free implant bar (SFI-Bar) attachments. Marginal resorption of bone, plaque and gingival indices, pocket depth, and implant stability were evaluated for both groups at baseline (prosthesis delivery) and 6 and 12 months thereafter. Implant survival and patient satisfaction were calculated after 12 months.
Results: For both groups, marginal bone loss (P < .043), plaque scores (P < .001), and probing depth (P < .002) increased significantly with time. SFI-Bar recorded lower marginal bone loss (P = .048) and higher plaque scores (P = .021) and probing depth (P = .001) than Locator after 12 months of denture insertion. The implant survival was 96.6% and 98.3% for Locator and SFI-Bar, respectively. No significant difference was found in the survival rate between groups (P = .56). Locator showed significantly higher general satisfaction, satisfaction with retention, comfort, and cleaning of overdentures compared with SFI-Bar (P < .001).
Conclusion: Within the limits of this investigation, both resilient stud and stress-free bar attachments can be used successfully with mandibular four-implant overdentures subjected to an immediate loading protocol. However, studs may be preferred regarding peri-implant soft tissue health, patient satisfaction with retention, cleaning, and comfort, and stress-free bar attachments could be more effective in terms of marginal bone preservation.

DETROIT — Matt Belisle’s career took a hiatus when the Cleveland Indians released the veteran reliever May 6. So did his life.
Belisle cleared waivers and eventually moved in to an Extended Stay America hotel in Columbus, Ohio, where he made nine appearances for Cleveland’s Triple-A affiliate before the Twins re-signed the 38-year-old Tuesday for an encore.
To make room on the roster, Minnesota designated utility infielder Gregorio Petit for release or assignment.
Belisle packed minimal belongings in his pickup Monday night and drove 3 1/2 hours to the Twins’ suburban Detroit hotel, rejoining the team for which he became an accidental closer during an unlikely 2017 postseason chase.
“Got a good sleep and I’m ready to go,” he said before the three-game series opener against the Tigers at Comerica Park. “We’ll figure out how to get my truck.”
The Twins have to figure out how to use Belisle to augment an overworked bullpen. Fernando Rodney is the closer. Zack Duke and Addison Reed already have their late-inning roles.
Belisle appeared in eight games for the Indians and was tagged for six earned runs in just 10 2/3 innings (5.06 ERA) before being out-righted. In the same workload for Columbus, the right-hander allowed five earned runs (4.22), struck out 11 and walked one.
Last year with the Twins he was the set-up man for closer Brandon Kintzler until Belisle inherited the job when Kintzler was traded to Washington in a deadline deal. He saved 11 games down the stretch as Minnesota clinched a wild-card berth.
“Matty was a big plus to what we were able to do last year,” said manager Paul Molitor. “Watching him pitch down there (Columbus), the people who have seen him say he’s the same guy. Didn’t get off to a great start with Cleveland. We’re looking for him to supplement our bullpen first and foremost, but we all know that a presence he can bring can be influential, as well.”
Belisle is as good-natured as they come, a gym rat on the back-nine of a career that started as Atlanta’s 1998 second-round draft pick. A 14-year veteran back with his seventh organization, Belisle is a twice-failed starter and survivor who is the all-time leader in appearances for the Colorado Rockies (392) and in the top-10 in appearances since 2010 among all relievers.
“To be back with the team that was such an emotional team last year and how we ended up and the great run, it’s so fun,” he said. “It’s so fun to see all the familiar faces, and with so much season that’s progressed it’s almost surreal.
“But it’s a great feeling. I’m excited as can be. Obviously, to come from a Triple-A team to come here to be wanted and valued means the world to me.”
MAUER IN ROCHESTER
Joe Mauer (concussion symptoms) led off as designated hitter for Triple-A Rochester Tuesday night during both games of a double-header against Scranton/Wilkes Barre.
He went 0-for-6 with a strikeout as the Red Wings lost both seven-inning games.
Mauer was scheduled to play first base for the Red Wings Wednesday night, and if all goes well he could rejoin the Twins as soon as Thursday’s three-game series finale against the Tigers.
Molitor said the rehabilitation assignment is more about Mauer getting through a game and his surroundings without suffering any recurring symptoms than rebooting his swing. He has been sidelined since May 18.
“I’m fairly confident about his ability to hit, even being out as long as he’s been,” Molitor said. “If things go well, we’ll have the option of getting him back in here sooner than later.”
Center fielder Byron Buxton, on the disabled list with a broken left toe, traveled with the Twins to the Detroit and will continue to work with hitting coach James Rowson in Cleveland this weekend.
However, Molitor said Buxton is destined for another rehab assignment before rejoining the lineup. He was on a rehab assignment for migraines when he fouled a pitch off the big toe on his left foot in April.
“We thought he was at a stage where the facilities in Minnesota weren’t that much of a benefit,” Molitor said. “We kind of wanted to monitor his hitting and try to get him in a good place where he’s ready to play.
“I did see him running the other day, and it seemed like he was doing really well. I think the biggest concern is how he’s going to feel to swing as normally as he can and trust that he can drive into that front foot when he makes a move on the ball.”

The Alabama board of trustees on Friday approved Phase I of the athletics facilities rebuild starting with Bryant-Denny Stadium.
The plan with a $75.5 million budget -- which includes $40.5 million in bonds -- was roundly praised by the board members before giving unanimous consent in the Bryant Conference center up the street from the stadium.
The plan remains to begin construction after the 2019 football season, athletics director Greg Byrne said after his time at the podium. During the meeting, Byrne said Alabama's raised $158 million of the $600 million goal in what it's calling "The Crimson Standard" fundraising drive.
The meeting and interview with Byrne shed more light on unanswered questions surrounding the project officially announced Aug. 16. A few answers:
-- The new capacity of Bryant-Denny Stadium will be "a hair under 100,000," Byrne said. It currently seats 101,821.
-- What happens to the fans displaced in the upper deck when the video board replaces a big chunk of the 8,500 bleacher seats? "Most of those are student seats in the upper deck," Byrne said. "Right now, we're going through the process of contacting fans who are impacted by this and getting their input on what their first, second and third choices are as part of the relocation."
-- Five percent of ticket holders will be impacted by the renovation.
-- Byrne previously said the number of student tickets would not be impacted despite removing all the bleachers. How is that possible? Byrne on Friday told the board the SEC was discussing lowering the number of tickets distributed to visiting teams moving forward. Texas A&M, Mississippi State and Missouri returned a portion of their bloc for games at Bryant-Denny Stadium this season along with non-conference teams Arkansas State, Louisiana-Lafayette and The Citadel.
-- When the stadium was expanded in 2010, a waiting list of 10,000 was cited as a reason. Has that waiting list gone dry? "There still is a waiting list," Byrne said. "It's a fluid list and we were able to move people into season tickets off the waiting list this year and we'll be able to do that more in the future as well."
-- How big will the video board be? "We're working on that right now. We don't know the exact ... it will be a healthy one." In relation to other schools in the SEC? "We think it will be one that will work well for the University of Alabama." Did Auburn's big video board play a factor? "No, no. We looked at the space that we had and the student terrace that we were looking at, how could we best positively impact the fan base of the University of Alabama.
-- Alabama is working on a "couple other" home-and-home series with non-conference opponents like the ones announced over the summer with Texas and Notre Dame.
-- Byrne said he walked around at the home opener two weeks ago against Arkansas State. "The experience of about 90 percent of our fan base have who are in the general seating who were using the restrooms and concessions, it's not a very good experience for them at times." The renovations should help with that.
-- If this is based on the fundraising campaign, why are bonds being used to pay for $40.5 million of Phase I? "You have to have a cash flow to pay for all of these things so Phase I, Phase II and Phase III all have a fundraising component to it, a potential bonding component to it based on trustee approval and then annual revenue from the areas that were created."

Tim Mackey reviews the new balancer charger 4/7/08
Updated 7th Nov 2008 - see footnote!
BITS AND BOBS
First off, it looks very neat and well made - both outside and within (I couldnt resist a sneaky peek at its innards). Its brushed aluminium case sports the now usual LCD information panel, along with four simple push buttons, and a decent sized cooling fan - which automatically engages/disengages as required. The input leads - thankfully for a change - are all at one end of the case, both an input jack for an external mains driven PSU (not supplied) and a hard wired flying lead of substantial silicon cables terminated with 4mm gold plugs.
Also supplied is a set of clever crocodile clips adapted to simply accept these plugs if a clip-on connection to your battery supply is preferred. Input voltage range is from 10V up to maximum 18V. If planning to use a mains PSU then note that the current limit for the input jack is 7-amp and 18V so it will not be possible to use the full 200-watt output capability of the unit unless using a large capable supply via the fixed leads. A small cut-out marked 'USB' is also visible in this end of the case - more on this later.
A CD Rom containing the instruction manual completes the line up of contents - I chose to print this off for easy reference. Whilst on the subject of manuals, this is a pretty good one, with plenty of information about programming the various parameters, and flow charts clearly indicating the button presses required. Thats not to say it is perfect - one or two errors have crept in (during translation no doubt) but a little common sense and experimentation should see you figure it out! Unit operation is fairly simple, and should be familiar to anyone who has experienced similar chargers before - one button selects a battery type, and other buttons then choose the function required such as a simple charge, balance charge, cycle, storage charge and so on. All fairly easy stuff once you've done it a few times!
The manual claims some pretty impressive features, including something called Synchronous Buck-Boost Dc/DC convertor technology.which simply speaking enables the unit to run more efficiently, reduce heat build up, and enable a smaller overall unit size. The output power can also be adjusted to match the available input power, preventing input power overload. This is just one of many very flexible user settings that can be adjusted.
In operation the unit worked well; I did my usual round of testing in the various modes for different batteries and rather than include a large set of results here, I will summarise them by saying it pretty much does exactly what it says on the tin.
Comparing displayed values on the units LCD screen with three separate DVMs proved that the unit was very accurate. Individual cell balancing was good, and all cells came out within +/- 10 mV of each other - usually a lot closer, indeed identical. Activity on cells that need it is displayed by the cell number(s) flashing during balancing. Scrolling through the various display screens during operation, one can see all sorts of useful information such as programmed terminal voltage, internal temperature of charger, temperature of battery under charge ( using the supplied probe ) input voltage, safety timer, over-temperature settings, capacity cut-off settings and so on. The unit can handle just about any type of cell/battery currently available, and also due to the flexibility of user programming available - most types likely to emerge in the near future too!
Lithium based cells are appearing which claim to have the capability of a higher than normal terminal charge voltage - Li-Po cells normally are set to stop at 4.2V LiIon @ 4.1V and LiFe @ 3.6V. However some cells can be pushed higher - for instance LiFe can go to 3.9V ( at the expense of overall longevity ) with some versions claiming as high as 4.2V - similar to Li-Po and other cells can likewise be pushed a little higher than normal. Of course, most authorities on cell charging will state that longer life can be expected if the cells are stopped a little short of absolutely full - and very little difference in performance will be noticed.
Trickle charge voltage levels : Li-Po balance times: Wait times between cycling programmes: Lithium battery cell check times: Peak detect sensitivity and check periods: Temperature cut-off points: Capacity limits: Maximum charge time limits: Discharge currents: Charge currents: Conditioning cycles both number of and sequence order: Input power limitations;
And so the list goes on This is a very versatile charger! For those people who simply want to plug and play the designers have cleverly arranged all the default settings to be recalled at the touch of a button and these default to the safest possible settings.
IT DOESN'T STOP THERE
Amongst all the various programs available (another deep breath) it has Regular charge, Balance charge, Fast charge, Storage charge, Conditioning charge/ discharge, Forming charge, Discharge, Battery Monitor ( where individual cells can be monitored by the 1010B whilst being charged / discharged by another means if required ) Motor break-in ( for bedding in brushed motors - not a lot of demand these days but its there if you need it ) and perhaps more useful, and pretty unique - Hotwire Foam Cutter mode -
Thats right, you can even use it to power your foam cutting bow! Throw in the more usual settings of backlight brightness, key beeps, alarm tones, auto / manual cooling fan and so on and you begin to get the picture. Of course, as well as the newer Lithium based packs, the charger is also well equipped to handle NiMH / NiCd / and Pb (lead acid). As if all this was not enough, it also has the facility to store up to 10 different battery programs in memory, and even allows you to name the battery type stored in each of these memories, so charging any of your 10 favourite packs is simply a matter of recalling the correct one from memory and pushing the start button.
SO DO I LIKE IT?.....
.....you bet I do. There are one or two little things that could be better, such as the lack of a wired USB port for updating the firmware as improved features appear regularly. Currently one has to acquire a USB- TTL convertor board, open up the unit and perform open heart surgery to connect the gizmo and allow an interface with your PC.not terribly difficult for some people, but an absolute no-go for others. It does get quite hot in discharge mode and lacks any standoffs on the bottom of the case to aid cooling.
To summarise then.. whats good?
and not so good ?
Would I recommend it ? - A resounding YES! The unit is available in the UK (if there are any left!) from www.foamyjets.co.uk UPDATE. The 1010b+ is now available ( as is a cheaper 106B+ ) and this new version comes already equipped with the usb socketry and lead + its now a whopping 300 Watt capable - UP 50% from the previously very good 200 Watt.Junsi are also now supplying small stand off feet to aid the cooling. Excellent :-)

We’re quoted in Telegraph article – “Ched Evans: what would his critics have him do now?”
We’re quoted in an article in The Telegraph published today. You can read the article here. An extract of the quote from Unlock is below;
Christopher Stacey, director of services at Unlock – a charity which provides support for people dealing with the effects of criminal convictions – agrees that the ideal outcome would be one in which Evans were able to use his footballing skills to earn a living.
Whether this is at a League One club or in a less public role, Stacey argues that he has to find some way to become an active member of society again.
“There’s no one-size-fits-all answer for what people should do when they come out of prison,” Stacey says. “In most cases, there’s no legal reason why people can’t return to their previous employers – but their employers have no obligation to take them back, so this can give them false hope.”
He cites research showing that 93 per cent of employers who would be unwilling to take on someone who they knew had been convicted of a sexual offence – the same proportion as those who would be unwilling to take on a candidate who had been convicted of murder.
Other studies have found that people with a criminal conviction – whatever their level of education – are more likely to end up among the lowest earners than people who never completed secondary education and those with learning difficulties.
“The people we work with do tend to end up being unemployed or at a lower level in their careers, earning less, than they were. And that’s a shame,” Stacey says.
“People who have committed offences clearly need to serve their sentences, then as far as possible return to the things they are qualified and skilled and able to do.
“We shouldn’t put unnecessary obstacles in their way, because often, as a society, we end up paying for that down the line.”

Piero della francesca baptism of christ analysis. Art Feature: Piero della Francesca’s The Baptism of Christ 2022-11-16
Piero della francesca baptism of christ analysis Rating:
Piero della Francesca's Baptism of Christ is a fascinating and visually stunning painting that captures a moment of great significance in the life of Jesus. The painting depicts the moment when Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist in the Jordan River. In this essay, we will analyze the painting in terms of its composition, symbolism, and historical context.
One of the most striking elements of the painting is its composition. The scene is divided into two main sections: the upper half, which shows the sky and the Jordan River, and the lower half, which shows the figures of Jesus, John the Baptist, and several other figures. The division of the painting into these two sections creates a sense of balance and symmetry, and helps to draw the viewer's eye towards the central figures of Jesus and John.
Another key element of the composition is the use of perspective. The figures in the painting are arranged in a way that creates the illusion of depth, with Jesus and John the Baptist being the most prominent figures in the foreground, and the other figures arranged in a row behind them. This use of perspective helps to create a sense of three-dimensionality and depth in the painting, which is further enhanced by the use of light and shadow to create a sense of volume and depth.
The symbolism in the Baptism of Christ is also noteworthy. The painting is rich in Christian symbolism, with many of the elements in the scene being loaded with meaning. For example, the presence of the dove, which is a symbol of the Holy Spirit, serves as a reminder of the divine nature of Jesus and his mission on earth. The water of the Jordan River, which is depicted as being clear and sparkling, is also a symbol of purification and renewal, and serves as a metaphor for the cleansing and transformative power of Jesus' ministry.
Finally, it is worth considering the historical context in which the Baptism of Christ was created. The painting was created in the mid-15th century, during the Renaissance period, a time of great artistic and cultural achievement in Europe. During this time, there was a renewed interest in classical art and literature, and artists like Piero della Francesca were influenced by the techniques and ideas of the ancient Greeks and Romans. This is evident in the Baptism of Christ, which incorporates many classical elements, such as the use of perspective and the depiction of the figures in a naturalistic manner.
In conclusion, Piero della Francesca's Baptism of Christ is a beautiful and thought-provoking work of art that captures a moment of great significance in the life of Jesus. Through its composition, symbolism, and historical context, the painting offers a rich and nuanced portrayal of this important event in Christian history.
Spiritual masterpieces can be worshipped by all
An interesting tradition also links these three figures to a process of reconciliation in the Church and thus to a Middle Way between opposed beliefs. His scientific learning deeply informs his paintings including The Baptism of Christ - look at the rounded, almost tubular forms, the perfectly calculated recession of its landscape. The temperaon panelwas commissioned by the Camaldolese Monastery of Sansepolcro the village in Tuscany where Piero was born , but the dating is controversial. The way in which Piero della Francesca paints the river as flowing almost vertically from the middle distance of the picture into the foreground is unusual in 15th-century Italian painting. The picture can be seen in the Sainsbury wing of the National Gallery, London.
Art Feature: Piero della Francesca’s The Baptism of Christ
It is a field of tree stumps. A striking example is the painting " The Baptism Of Christ"which experts attribute to the initial period of the art of Piero della Francesca. Augustine, Ambrose, Macrobius, Marcianus Capella, Isidore, Boethius, Thierry of Chartres, Abelard and many others praised the divine quality of particular numbers at length. John the Baptist performs the rite, scooping up the bowl a little water from the river. Piero masters linear perspective, positioning Christ and John some way behind the picture plane to draw the eye and also makes them life-sized in relation to the viewer, enhancing the realism. The distinctive rolling hills are depicted in a number of his works, such as 'The Nativity'. He was a pioneer and peculiar industrial designer of his kind; he created items that have.
Moreover, the four men who populate the middle ground are dressed in recognizable oriental costumes, and one gestures heavenward, alluding to the Magi. Furthermore, the fingertips form the centre of both an equilateral triangle and pentagon, which symbolize the Trinity and Five Wounds respectively. Piero della Francesca was renowned in his times as an authority on perspective and geometry: his attention to the theme is shown by John's arm and leg, which form two angles of the same size. Under the tree are three angels dressed in robes watching the sacrament. The artist remained loyal to the region despite having moved around several Italian towns. That they not only determine the format but also the posture and shape of Christ in this picture means that they must be interpreted as a first reference to the theme of the depiction: in the Baptism, Christ is revealed to us as the Son of God.
Numbers were a model for theology and an analogy of creation. This paper examines the manifestation of this number symbolism in early medieval art, literature and architecture. In the words of St Paul, he is putting on Christ Gal 3:27. Look at the distant hills with their sparse growth and arid look. I read the sixteen-sided, domed interior of the Baptistery, built largely between 1196 and 1216, as a synthesis of late antique and early Gothic architecture.

If you want to see its religious meaning as overriding its aesthetic qualities you are free to do so in the National Gallery, where it is reverently displayed in a small chapel-like gallery dedicated to this and two other equally spiritual works by Piero. We could even interpret him as Jesus himself at an earlier point in time, following the cartoon-like conventions often found in early Renaissance paintings whereby the same figure is represented at different points in a story within the same picture. The man's feet are already in the water, and he is trying to take off his undershirt.
The lavish construction of the frame leads us to the conclusion that the structure was destined to be the main altar in a larger church. Finally, the delight this painting has given many generations of visitors to the National Gallery is itself proof that religious art does not only belong to the religious. Plagiarism will not be tolerated. It may be one of Piero's earliest extant works. Overlooked by many, the tree is the key element of the Frick panel. It was Donatello who first introduced trees into the iconography of the baptism.

On the face of it, though, he is expressing something that sounds nastily like fundamentalism - the kind of religious idiocy that gives Richard Dawkins a good name. You will fail the paper if you do not follow instructions and do the assignment as described here. The painting is constructed of simple basic forms: a semicircle sitting on a square. No footnotes are necessary. The most striking feature of this painting is the extraordinary lighting from above, creating delicate pastel colours, with pale shadows that surround the figures and enhance their three dimensionality.

Fantasia Admits To Abortion During Suicide Attempt At Lovers Divorce Trial (Photos)
R&B singer and American Idol 3rd season winner Fantasia Barrino, 26, who had been called a homewrecker admitted during court that she aborted the unborn child of her ex-lover Antwaun Cook who was married around August the same time during her alleged sucide attempt, as reported on HipHopRx.com.
According to our people over at RadarOnline.com, who obtained an exclusive audio recording of Fantasia Barrino confessing in a North Carolina court on Monday at the divorce proceedings for Antwaun Cook and his ex-wife Paula Cook, Fantasia claimed she did not know exactly when she got the abortion but it was around August.
Antwaun Cook’s ex-wife Paula Cook had filed a lawsuit against Fantasia for destroying her marriage and earlier this month, during a meeting, the two attempted to come to terms after 12 hours of mediation. Fantasia reportedly offered Paula Cook $100K, but Mrs. Cook wasn’t buying into Fantasia claiming that she didn’t know that Antwaun Cook was married, so the entire thing went unresolved. Mrs. Cook is planning to get her point across under the Alienation of Affection law where the married party which was abandoned can file lawsuit against the party responsible for the failure of their marriage and in this case it seems that Mrs. Cook wants to point the finger at Fantasia for her failed marriage.
Meanwhile, during the proceedings, Fantasia was presented a letter which she wrote her ex-lover, whom she had dated on-and-off for almost 11 months. In the letter Fantasia confessed her love to Antwaun Cook and how she wanted to have his children and be with him and if he chose to be with her, she would be the happiest girl in the world.
After Fantasia read the letter, she was questioned as to if she was pregnant with his child when she wrote the letter. Fantasia answered, “No, no,” and she was referencing to the future when she implied that she wanted to have his children and prayed every night to be with him.
As for the abortion, the singer stated that it wasn’t too long ago when she aborted the unborn child of her lover and it was when all the other stuff was going on.
Paula Cook’s attorney asked her if the abortion was close to Mrs. Cook’s date of separation and again Fantasia says she was not sure and says it was probably in August.
For the meantime, we may have to wait and see what happens with Antwaun Cook after all these proceedings have settled for more.
