Sure, I get excited/hopeful when I see the Minnesota Twins organization at-or-near the top of MLB farm systems but I’m not one to dream on young talent until I see it with my own peepers at the big league level A big reason for this approach: the Byron Buxton & Miguel Sano “cautionary tale” In 2009, the Twins signed Sano out of the Dominican Republic. In 2012, they drafted Byron Buxton with the #2 overall pick (right after Carlos Correa went #1 to the Houston Astros) From 2012 through 2014—rough years in Twins Territory—Buxton & Sano were touted as “saviors of the franchise” The Twins didn’t necessarily rush them through the minor leagues but I remember the strong vibes being that presumably when those two made it to The Show the Twins would rise out of the cellar and back to competitive prominence the plan looked to flower right off the vine.. As I’ll chronicle throughout the upcoming summer, the ‘15 Twins certainly did make some noise towards becoming relevant again. Alas, we know how this all ultimately turned out. In eight seasons together—2015-2022—Buxton & Sano did not manage a single playoff victory It would of course be foolish to lay all (or much) of that blame at the feet of MN’s dynamic duo expecting two players to double-handedly restore a franchise I have no quarrel with anyone who enjoys watching MiLB or chronicling prospects as a matter of R&D It’s fun to catch of glimpse of “the next generation” who somehow always manage to be more athletic than the cohort before them But this offseason, I’ve picked up a few rumblings of Walker Jenkins & Emmanuel Rodriguez being the talents that could push this roster over the top this year or the next. It certainly doesn’t help when ownership gives the fanbase nothing else to feel hopeful about I sincerely do hope those youngsters pan out in the best possible way until I see them from my 3B-side perch at 1 Twins Way for some time I’ll as much continue to live in the present as hope for the future The City of Huntsville and the Land Trust of North Alabama are collaborating on improved infrastructure on Monte Sano to provide an improved path for pedestrians and cyclists to enjoy the mountain’s natural beauty The City will provide $500,000 in matching funds after the Land Trust raised $500,000 to pave Toll Gate Trail from Bankhead Trailhead to Fearn Street Plans call for a 10-foot-wide asphalt pathway along the 1.3-mile trail The project will cost an estimated $1 million “We are partnering with the Land Trust on this trail to encourage cyclists to use it instead of Bankhead Parkway,” City Engineer Kathy Martin said “We hope this project can provide cyclists with a safer alternate route as well as improve overall traffic safety on Bankhead Parkway within this area.” The trail will provide a connection from the Land Trust parking lot on Bankhead Parkway to the paved trail into Monte Sano State Park “Tollgate Greenway is an amazing example of what can be achieved when a community unites behind a shared vision,” said Land Trust Executive Director Marie Bostick “More than 250 donors came together to support the Land Trust’s fundraising campaign successfully matching the City of Huntsville’s $500,000 commitment to make this project a reality.” She added the initiative will create an inviting accessible path for those who struggle with natural surface trails allowing more people to experience the forested mountainside alternative route for cyclists riding up Bankhead Parkway further enhancing connectivity and outdoor recreation opportunities for the community Click the search icon or 'view more results' to see all results Dedicating the Moon Tree at Monte Sano State Park on Thursday president of the Von Braun Astronomical Society; Marcia Lindstrom from NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center; Huntsville Mayor Tommy Battle; Rae Ann Meyer Deputy Director of NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center; Chad Davis district superintendent for Alabama State Parks; and Zachary Heard Officials from Alabama State Parks and the Von Braun Astronomical Society gathered Thursday with city leaders and representatives from NASA to dedicate a Moon Tree – a tree grown from seeds flown on American spacecraft in lunar orbit – that has been planted at Monte Sano State Park NASA’s Office of STEM Engagement selected the Von Braun Astronomical Society to receive the tree and VBAS partnered with Alabama State Parks to have it planted at Monte Sano State Park “Our partnership with Von Braun Astronomical Society dates back decades and it’s wonderful that this partnership has led to the planting of this amazing Moon Tree,” said Alabama State Parks Director Matthew Capps seeds of several different tree species traveled into lunar orbit aboard the Orion spacecraft as part of the Artemis I mission The seeds spent more than 25 days in space before returning to Earth which is celebrating its 70th anniversary this year applied to NASA to receive a tree and learned it had been selected to receive one earlier this year arrived this week and was immediately planted at Monte Sano State Park This is the first Moon Tree awarded to an astronomical society and recognizes the significant education and outreach done by the society volunteers The current Moon Tree plantings pay homage to a similar program conducted as part of the Apollo 14 mission in 1971 when seeds accompanied astronauts Alan Shepherd and Edgar Mitchell who became the fifth and sixth humans to walk on the moon The Apollo 14 Moon Trees were grown into seedlings by the U.S Department of Agriculture Forest Services and placed around the world including some distributed as part of the U.S The Artemis Moon Trees are intended to serve as a celebration of the future of space exploration and placing one in Huntsville holds special significance considering the loblolly seed was sent into lunar orbit by a rocket developed at Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville located near the John Scoble Memorial Pavilion in the park will be protected by fencing and permanent signage will be installed soon to commemorate its significance Visitors to the park will also be encouraged to use the #MonteSanoMoonTree hashtag when posting about it on social media “The Monte Sano Moon Tree serves as an inspirational symbol of the relationship between earth and space,” said Alex Hall President of the Von Braun Astronomical Society “This space traveler reminds us to look to the stars and holds special meaning for many of our members who have been and continue to be involved in the exploration of space We can’t wait to see people posting selfies with the tree on social media.” Official

Watanabe san there are all the voice actors and in-between animators and finishers you’ll see that this was created with the efforts of many people I believe there were close to 100 people involved there were about eight producers and the production staff just within the Japanese production company side Do you plan to do more episodes in the future But maybe would like to change the approach a bit Although this series has ‘The Anime’ in the title that doesn’t mean it was intended to be made in a Japanese anime style Originally we had considered ‘Take Me To The Other Side’ as the subtitle that idea was used for the ending theme song it could be interesting to try placing 3D effects and camera work that are popular Japanese anime-style elements how we approach it would depend on the reception of the series Do you have any favorite moments in the show but I think one of my favorites is the epilogue in episode 2 in which you see the suburban streets of Tokyo; the Japanese pubs It was interesting to place Rick into everyday life in Japan What do you think of the reception to the anime version Whether the feedback is positive or negative I’m very grateful and appreciative of receiving honest opinions It’s disheartening when there is no response at all and use it for making improvements next time If the viewers understand my intentions for the show and give me good feedback that will be my strength so then I can refine that further for the next time but the series was created with the idea that all 10 episodes of the season form into one complete story so I’m looking forward to seeing how people respond after the final episode You can currently watch Rick and Morty: The Anime Thursdays at midnight on Adult Swim and Fridays on Max The show was created and developed by Takashi Sano and produced by Studio Deen Sola Entertainment and Telecom Animation Film for Adult Swim Watch “The Escape” episode below: We use cookies to enhance your browsing experience We use cookies to help you navigate efficiently and perform certain functions You will find detailed information about all cookies under each consent category below The cookies that are categorised as "Necessary" are stored on your browser as they are essential for enabling the basic functionalities of the site We also use third-party cookies that help us analyse how you use this website and provide the content and advertisements that are relevant to you These cookies will only be stored in your browser with your prior consent You can choose to enable or disable some or all of these cookies but disabling some of them may affect your browsing experience Necessary cookies are required to enable the basic features of this site such as providing secure log-in or adjusting your consent preferences These cookies do not store any personally identifiable data Functional cookies help perform certain functionalities like sharing the content of the website on social media platforms Analytical cookies are used to understand how visitors interact with the website These cookies help provide information on metrics such as the number of visitors Performance cookies are used to understand and analyse the key performance indexes of the website which helps in delivering a better user experience for the visitors Advertisement cookies are used to provide visitors with customised advertisements based on the pages you visited previously and to analyse the effectiveness of the ad campaigns Global Finance Magazine Global news and insight for corporate financial professionals Global Finance: How has rising inflation impacted your country scores Yoel Sano: Higher inflation generally means higher risk of social instability we saw an immediate inflation spike; the cost-of-living crisis went global Rising food prices were one of the major factors that disrupted social stability it depends on the country’s macroeconomic backdrop President Gotabaya Rajapaksa was toppled in 2022 late last year to fix triple-digit inflation We currently have anti-inflation protests erupting in Nigeria the impact manifests itself in different ways The most extreme cases lead to sudden changes in government or it could be a slow-burn ejection of a government like we saw in Argentina Or it could just be sort of sporadic unrest like we see in Nigeria GF: Do organized disinformation campaigns affect political analysis Sano: Our analysts obviously monitor Twitter [now X] throughout the day to sort of see what news is available But we also look at the mainstream international outlets from a variety of different sources It is often somewhat tricky to absolutely be sure about what happens The quantity and speed with which information is disseminated makes a lot of noise so we just have to work our way through it It’s a case of perseverance and trying to see through the fog But certainly the onset of disinformation can cause situations to erupt quite suddenly which seem to have been triggered by false information concerning the identity of the murderer of three young girls at a dance party The false aspect of the story had been debunked but the underlying sort of aggression is still there—it’s still a risk where you have a sudden piece of disinformation thrown up can trigger unrest that will probably be more common going forward I’d say it’s about the speed of disinformation GF: What’s your outlook for the major Latin American markets Sano: We’re quite positive on Mexico’s economy in the long term as an alternative to Mexico can bring more manufacturing and business operations to market as it is geographically closer to the US and perhaps more politically reliable under President-elect Claudia Sheinbaum [she assumes office on October 1] technocratic-type leader who would maintain Mexico’s stability there’s a lot of uncertainty about who will succeed Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva We have municipal elections in October; that’ll be a test for Brazil’s 2026 presidential election And we know that ex-President Jair Bolsonaro cannot run for the presidency in 2026 due to his own legal challenges the Brazilian right will be looking for a new standard bearer for the 2026 presidential election Milei’s main test will be the midterm elections in October 2025 we are seeing the challenges against President Nicolás Maduro who seems to have retained the support of the military and key institutions He seems to be able to ride out the protests but it depends how big any protests become And even that doesn’t completely guarantee political change because we’ve seen large protests went on for months and the governments stayed put Peru has been a country where we’ve seen almost chronic instability for quite some time now General elections are scheduled to be held in April 2026 there seems to be a power struggle within the ruling Socialist movement Chile also has elections next year in Latin America this will be a test of whether the current center left will retain the presidency or whether the right will come back to power I know that President Gabriel Boric has faced a number of problems He has faced constitutional amendments being defeated by referendums so he has had quite a turbulent presidency thus far GF: Will China continue to wield influence in Latin America Sano: I think there are a lot of avenues for uncertainty regarding China’s influence on parts of Latin America Milei immediately withdrew Argentina from BRICS when he was elected president But it shows that you can’t assume that just because there’s a sort of China-friendly government in place at one time trade is an area where China will remain important for Latin America GF: What key strategy would you offer to CFOs to manage risk Sano: You must have some sort of backup system or resiliency plan to deal with disruption to any operations several months before the Covid-19 pandemic began we conducted a test situation where we all worked from home—just to see how that would function When the lockdown actually happened in March 2020 we were ready and able to maintain continuity of business Imagine if this had happened 20 years earlier it’s important for companies to have backup systems It also depends on what business you’re in the Houthis of Yemen started attacking shipping vessels in the Red Sea in late 2023 Freight was rerouted around the Cape of Good Hope in Africa it was more expensive and more time consuming I think building redundancy in any kind of system is useful you don’t want to be reliant on a single source for your components and you’d ideally want to ship your material from multiple countries so there’s not a single point of failure GF: Any surprises in the months since BMI held its last annual “World of Worries” Q&A event Sano: Our analysts do these global/macro risk assessments on a global basis and on a regional basis The Israel-Hamas war in Gaza has gone on a little longer than we expected I would also say that you can’t predict events like the death of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi in a helicopter a few months ago and centrist Masoud Pezeshkian winning a snap election We couldn’t predict that former President Donald Trump would be shot but we did flag the possibility of the coming US election being conducted without either Donald Trump or Joe Biden on the ballot either due to Trump’s legal difficulties or Biden’s age we’re correct—in that sense—about the Biden age issue There will always be something that happens We’re holding another “World of Worries” event on October 9 Sano has started all 14 league and cup fixtures. This despite arriving late to FSV camp following a legal dispute in his home country. Henriksen noted that the 23-year-old four-times-capped Samurai international has made great strides both on and off the pitch The FSV trainer revealed that a special meeting needed to be held in order to address the language barrier. I told them that the cooperation between them is really important that they need to talk and communicate more." "We sat together for 35 minutes," Henriksen continued Making a player like him laugh is difficult because he tends to be introverted we could really see that he likes being here but gigantic strides," Henriksen went on to say one could see that he's getting better and better.He's very technically very strong and a good footballer He can become one of the best players at his position internationally." After further noting that "ensuring that he and Amiri gel" was of vital importance, the gaffer was asked about Amiri's prospects of returning to the German national team. The 28-year-old - once again being linked with a move to the EPL - has certainly made a strong case for himself in recent weeks.

just missed out and TOM’S driver Rikuto Kobayashi was 0.273s back in third Delightworks Racing’s Souta Arao and Frederick were the only other drivers within a second of the pace Nomura completed a top four split by 0.168s and Frederick trailed by over half a second with LM Corsa’s Reimei Ito lurching off the line before stopping Sano swept to the inside then back to the racing line to lead into turn one as Nomura and Kobayashi went side-by-side through the corner and got alongside Sano at the end of the lap He swept around the outside at turn one to take the lead and gradually built a gap of 2.861s over the rest of the race But a five-second penalty for jumping the start dropped him behind Sano and on lap 12 B-MAX’s Zachary David passed Delightworks’ Yusuke Mitsui for fourth on the

third-place Rookie of the Year finisher with the Twins Sano looked ticketed for stardom earlier in his career but never consistently established himself as a middle-of-the-order hitter in Minnesota despite possessing 80-grade power (on the 20-80 scale) He’s cleared 25 home runs in four different MLB campaigns but has gone down on strikes in more than 36% of his career plate appearances and regularly graded as a poor defender at both infield corners Sano turned in a .245/.338/.498 batting line with 118 home runs in 2051 plate appearances with the Twins (an average of 39 homers per 162 games played) His bat has tailed off significantly since that time as he’s struggled to stay on the field as well That stretch includes a 30-homer showing in 2021 but that’s the lone time in the past five years he’s made an impact at the plate began to walk less than in his earlier days He hit just .083/.211/.133 in 71 plate appearances with the ’22 Twins and posted an anemic .205/.295/.313 slash in 95 plate appearances as an Angel He also missed nearly six weeks of the season with a left knee injury which could land him a minor league deal with another club but it seems likely he’ll need to slug his way back into the majors with a decent Triple-A showing Los Angeles Angels Transactions Miguel Sano 10 months ago Looks like Miguel Sano could use some therapy… maybe try BetterHelp 10 months ago So now we have to weed through advertising articles 10 months ago Some of us need assistance to get through it 10 months ago 4 days without games will be a welcome break 10 months ago I assume MLBTR must have bit off more than they can chew They are tarnishing a good product with the way they are trying to monetize They have additional payroll that I assume is being put forth to make the subscriber articles happen and I can’t imagine that is all that profitable 10 months ago MLBTR has gotten pretty successful it seems with how many posters there are now I enjoyed MLBTR more when the room was smaller They’ve come a long way and I think if they have a good product and can make a living doing what they love then that is the ultimate success and I’m glad they’ve found it I’m looking for another baseball site that will scratch my itch for baseball talk I just haven’t really found one that can replace MLBTR 10 months ago Figured out how to log in here to echo this sentiment I was a regular commenter here back ~2010-2015 (back when the comments were through Disqus) You could actually see who responded to who and the majority of the comments were actually discussing the baseball merits of various moves without much insulting or ad hominem attacks and I think it’s still one of the best baseball sites for quick news/analysis But I miss when I was also a great place to discuss the news with other engaged fans 10 months ago I remember my very first post here a few years back The subject was Michael Pineda and I posted that I saw him up close warming up in the Mariner bullpen when he was a rookie I described that loud pop of the catcher’s glove on each pitch Then I described his last warm up pitch where he really let loose and the pop sounded like an M-80 going off a guy that called himself Steve Nebraska berated me for posting such a comment He said it was because Pineda was a “know commodity.” (He forgot the “N” in known.) I remember thinking “What a d*ck!” It was a precursor of what was to come as people that post here routinely berate and belittle each other over the most trivial things The signing of a journeyman reliever to a minor league contract as a depth move can spark a vicious thread 10 months ago 10 months ago Wasn’t Better Help outed as a pretty horrible company but they got into some hot water not that long ago for data sharing and not actually having licenced thearapists 10 months ago 10 months ago If you don’t like the ads for whatever reason But if these writers can make a living off of what they do then more power to them Go find your preference but nobody from MLBTR owes anything to us 10 months ago I don’t have a problem with them advertising I’m just a little surprised they’re advertising a company that’s had some trouble recently 10 months ago People will complain about anything and everything….even free stuff 10 months ago not even those “free” aps on your phone They are all selling your data and making a bundle doing it Privacy is the price we pay for “free” content 10 months ago I genuinely have no problem with the adverts – I mean they’re occasional as opposed to TV You would think the powers that be (Tim Dierkes) would check the value of the product he is willing to promote I’ll try to get my new airline (Plummet Air – only the price drops) on here… (PS – We have own wine too – Chateau Verthefloor) 10 months ago They’re a tech and data collections company from my past research of helping one friend decide whether they wanted to be on the platform They tried to scale too quickly and often made poor algorithmic matchings with clients and therapists There is a great deal of nuance in this intricate process You can’t really expect IT engineers and programmers to know how to do this well 10 months ago Someone will pick him up once he clears release waivers He really wasn’t that bad maybe because the bar was so low 10 months ago 10 months ago Before he got hurt (spare the joke here) he was hitting 10 months ago He only has two HRs to go along with his 36/9 K/W in 82 ABs It is difficult to imagine he had a hot streak amidst those numbers 10 months ago Even with Sano’s reported weight loss it will be hard for someone to “pick him up” 10 months ago could see maybe like the Pirates trying to platoon him with Rowdy a bit 10 months ago Y’all wanna hear a neat story about Miguel Sano 10 months ago Just what I was looking for when I was seeking out MLB news 10 months ago But the insertion of a mental health advertisement seemed a bit out of place 10 months ago Not out of place with the mental state of many of the commenters here…. 10 months ago Many commenters who do nothing but insult others rather than keep focussed on the baseball issues being talked about on MLBTR need the use of therapy The mental health therapy advertising for MLBTR users was far too long in coming 10 months ago Especially in these touch economic times and high inflation Feel bad for this guy having to find a new gig to pay bills 10 months ago 10 months ago 10 months ago 10 months ago I remember there was a controversy with the Pirates trying to sign Sano as a prospect and something happened to make it not work Was around the time I first started getting very into baseball 10 months ago He ate the entire city’s supply of Primantis sandwiches then was making a move toward the Iron City Brewery before he was stopped by Godzilla and shipped off to Minneapolis and he was a 25 year old rookie claiming to be 17 10 months ago 10 months ago or keep eating and try out for the rams or chargers at tackle 10 months ago Some team needs to help Sano break the strikeout records either the season and/or career (but that is a long-term situation – unlikely) 10 months ago I think he was much older than claimed and he’s probably pushing 40 now and that’s why he’s declining….That is the problem with latin players You have 14 and 15 year old’s from latin countries playing in the little league world series for christ sake Wasn’t Albert Pujols also much older than originally claimed It just seems how business is done there… 10 months ago but he said something about playing against dotel and he was a couple years younger and he was busted about his age Register MLB Trade Rumors is not affiliated with Major League Baseball Register 2024Sano's Pizzeria in Chicago's Mayfair closed Thursday after more than 50 years The owners said it's simply time to retire.CHICAGO (WLS) -- It's the end of an era; Sano's Pizzeria in Chicago's Mayfair closed Thursday The business has been family owned for more than 50 years In a statement posted to their Facebook page "We want to take a moment to express our sincere gratitude for your loyalty and support over the years We understand that this news may come as a disappointment but it was time to retire and begin our next chapter in our lives." They thanked their customers for their support over the years "It has been an honor to serve you." Japan Football Association President Tsuneyasu Miyamoto on Thursday lamented the arrest of Kaishu Sano for allegedly sexually assaulting a woman was arrested with two other men in their 20s on Wednesday on suspicion of colluding in the incident in Tokyo on Sunday but as someone working in the football world I feel it's extremely regrettable," former Japan captain and defender Miyamoto said during a board meeting Miyamoto was said to have also expressed his belief that "re-education is required for national team players," a sentiment echoed by others attending the meeting Sano made his Japan debut last November and was part of the Samurai Blue squad for the Asian Cup held in Qatar from January to February He was to start training with his new club next Sunday after joining the German Bundesliga club on a four-year deal on July 3 from J-League first-division club Kashima Antlers Kashima Antlers defensive midfielder Kaishu Sano has signed for Mainz on a four-year deal until 2028 the German Bundesliga club announced Wednesday who joined Kashima last season and stood out with his abilities to win the ball and drive forward from deep midfield made his Japan debut last November and was part of the Samurai Blue squad for the Asian Cup earlier in the year "Mainz studied me thoroughly as a player and not only saw my strengths but also my potential to develop," Sano said in a Mainz statement and the Bundesliga is very well-known in Japan." recently retired Shinji Okazaki and Yoshinori Muto currently at Vissel Kobe were on the books at Mainz previously and Sano vowed to emulate both "I'm looking forward to getting the Mainz fans off their seats just as much as my Japanese countrymen who played here before," he said Sano joined then J2 Machida Zelvia out of high school in 2019 and scored one goal for Kashima in 47 appearances in J1 Football: Japan attacker Daichi Kamada signs with England's Crystal Palace Football: 57-yr-old Miura returns to Suzuka after Portugal spell Football: Shinji Okazaki focused on management after stellar playing career Prior to Sunday's defeat against the Cleveland Guardians that resulted in a series sweep who's been sidelined with left knee inflammation since April 26 The veteran slugger began a minor league rehab assignment this past week with the Angels' Arizona Complex League team Sanó's timeline on rejoining the Angels encountered an unusual setback He told reporters that Sanó suffered a burn on his left knee due to leaving a heating pad on too long such as how long Sanó left the heating pad on or how high the temperature was on the device But not using the padding was probably his biggest mistake Sanó signed a minor league deal with the Angels in spring training after missing the 2023 season with a cartilage issue in his left knee and an injured tibia. He reported to camp in Tempe, Arizona 60 pounds lighter than the year before In 21 games (71 plate appearances) this season Sanó has hit for a .262 average and .713 OPS with three doubles The Angels are 20–33 and last in the AL West Sano, 31, made his return to the majors after missing the 2023 season. Signing a minor league deal in January, Sano clubbed four home runs in spring training and earned a spot on the Angels' Opening Day Roster. A knee injury sent Sano to the injured list for nearly two months. Since returning from the injured list on June 25, he has only appeared in seven games, recording one hit in that span. Sano is slashing .205/.295/313 with just two homers so far this season. Los Angeles now has five days to trade Sano or put him on waivers. He is unlikely to draw trade interest and could be released if he declines an assignment to the minors. By Anthony Franco | July 8 Sanó made a return to professional baseball this year after sitting out the 2023 season He signed a minor league deal with the Angels in January and hit four homers in 23 Spring Training contests That was enough to nab a spot on the Opening Day roster in a backup role Sanó got a bit of run as a designated hitter through the season’s first couple weeks before a left knee injury sent him to the injured list The veteran slugger was out of action for nearly two months The Halos reinstated him from the IL on June 25 but have only gotten him into seven games over the past few weeks Sanó only has one hit since his activation and carries a .205/.295/.313 batting line over 95 plate appearances Opponents have punched him out 36 times (a 37.9% rate) continuing the career-long struggle Sanó has had in making consistent contact It’ll be the veteran infielder’s first game action since he suffered a partially torn left hamstring on April 20 The Halos have five days to trade Sanó or put him on waivers He’s not likely to draw any trade interest and could decline an assignment to the minor leagues so he’ll very likely be released this week Los Angeles Angels Transactions Anthony Rendon Miguel Sano 10 months ago 10 months ago 10 months ago 10 months ago I think you’re wasting your time here and better served by pursuing a career in politics 10 months ago @hudler’s son what about your ten accounts saying the same troll comments over until you find a new one for the week 10 months ago Just tell him to hang around town for a couple of days until Rendon tears a fingernail 10 months ago and there’s about 10 of you that say the same things I’ll see you post the same garbage on a different name 10 months ago Who would copy a guy using Simone else’s name?

player whoever lived I think you just arbitrarily picked a number 10 months ago rockiesmagicnumber probably changed their post because it doesn’t say 800 OPS+ anymore 10 months ago 10 months ago Players like Ward are not just replaceable You can’t just go out and magically get a player like that Thats why even good teams often have a chunk of young productive players they called up from their own system Because they get the numbers with the ability to control those salaries Replaceable players are the ones at the bottom of the roster or that starting player who just can’t get it together 10 months ago 10 months ago all you need to know about the Angels is in this article They are activating a primadonna to play 4 games before his inevitable next injury and are DFA’ing a guy who should not have been on an MLB roster to begin with the article mentions guys like Guillorme and Huira who have no business collecting a MLB check To say this team is a dumpster fire would be wholly accurate and I would be happy to light the match 10 months ago Sano just came back he looked decent before his injury hard to justify Calhoun over him he can play first and third I don’t want to see willie in the outfield If they can trade pillar for a peanut vendor they can call up marisnick 10 months ago Nukeg saying Hiura doesn’t deserve a MLB paycheck is ridiculous The man has a career 104 OPS+ and is

much like grasping at straws but he can play 1st and third 10 months ago I can’t believe he’s still on the roster in July I know he had a good spring and Wash wanted to set the precedent for rewarding hard work But his at bats have been so ass this year 10 months ago Hard work should’ve been applied to diet and conditioning 10 months ago He actually wasn’t in bad shape just got hurt 10 months ago

within a misplayed fly ball(in RF) of winning a World Series He’s arguably the most coveted fielding coach in MLB and has been credited with reviving several careers including the Rangers’ Marcus Semien Anaheim’s issues reside in the owner’s box hence the hiring of new managers on an almost yearly basis 10 months ago Butch Hobson fired as manager and never seen from in mlb again after busted with coke less than handful of years later he’s back on the job and fans annointing him some kind of kingmaker ever since and that’s been going on for years Wonder what difference between Washington and Hobson. 10 months ago @johnsilver its the same reasons why guys like Chapman all got second chances but a former Cy Young award winner like Bauer still is without a job who I’ll add was never found guilty of any crime 10 months ago I applaud the consistency of your trash posts 10 months ago “What difference between Washington and Hobson”…There are major “differences” between the cocaine cases of Ron Washington and Butch Hobson One is that one was a criminal case(Hobson)and the other was more of a civil/administrative case “prosecuted” by MLB(Washington) Hobson got arrested and booked by the local Police and taken to jail whereas Washington failed an employer drug test and therefore faced only an administrative punishment(by his employer) but not a criminal one like Hobson huge difference between catching a criminal case versus catching an administrative or civil one 10 months ago 10 months ago 10 months ago Another terrific find by Minasian and the boys in the Latin

ago This isn’t surprising given that he’s been cold as “Sano” offensively this year 10 months ago Everyone is talking about Rendon getting hurt How about the fact that he can no longer hit Seems the team is better with him on the IL 10 months ago I really wanted this guy to turn it around with the Angels Thats what happens when you get hurt while already trying to bounce back from a major injury In his first game back after a lengthy absence due to a pretty severe hamstring injury Rendon managed to go 1-for-4 with a garbage time RBI Well, Los Angeles Angels fans were warned, but the team did indeed bring Anthony Rendon back without sending him on a rehab assignment With Rendon's return, though, that meant that there was going to be a roster casualty, and unfortunately it was Miguel Sano, who ended up getting designated for assignment Given everything he went through just to get back to the majors and the injury he had just returned from By the time Sano was activated from the IL, Rendon was already close to returning and the writing was on the wall that Sano could be the odd man out While expectations for Rendon are understandably low Sano just hasn't played well enough to make that roster decision more difficult for the Angels with Rendon needing to rotate between third base and DH for the foreseeable future Hopefully Sano gets another chance elsewhere this year It is hard to overstate how difficult it is to make it back to the big leagues after being out for a year he could still find a home on a bench somewhere © 2025 Minute Media - All Rights Reserved Betting

In Spanish, Monte Sano means ‘Mountain of Health.’ In the late 1800s, visitors from across the United States came for ‘the season’ to experience and enjoy Monte Sano’s fresh air, spectacular views, and mineral springs.” Monte Sano State Park is also home to the Monte Sano Lodge which offers an idyllic mountain setting for a variety of events from family celebrations to business meetings. Within the lodge are meeting rooms, large and small, a lobby, and a break room as well as a terrace and restrooms. Monte Sano State Park is home to incredible vistas. Spanning over 2,000 acres, the park offers scenic views that are especially spectacular as the state’s seasonal blooms are on display.

Sano Café, a fast-casual eatery that embodies healthy living and mindful eating, is poised to open at Amazon-leased Centre 425 tower on 106th Avenue Northeast I recently had the privilege of interviewing one of the owners of Sano from Conscious Hospitality Group Established in 2017 with its flagship location on Mercer Island Sano Café quickly garnered a loyal following for its dedication to wholesome ingredients Sano was poised to extend its reach beyond Mercer Island The decision to expand to Bellevue was a strategic one driven by a desire to reach a new demographic while still staying true to their roots As part of Conscious Hospitality Group’s vision to see a Sano Café in every city Bellevue presented an ideal location with its proximity to Mercer Island yet distinct market dynamics Sano Café’s Bellevue spot promises to be a hub of activity inviting space adorned with ample windows and infused with a touch of bohemian charm reminiscent of Tulum the café aims to be more than just a dining destination—it aspires to be a community gathering place the Bellevue menu will build upon the foundation laid by its Mercer Island counterpart the café will introduce an expanded coffee selection the owners of Sano have ambitious plans for the future the goal is to have 6-10 establishments open by the end of 2025 Each location will embody the Sano ethos while embracing the unique character of its surroundings Operating hours for the Bellevue location are slated to be seven days a week with the possibility of adjustments based on demand Dedicated parking spots will be available within the building’s parking garage Sano Cafe is currently awaiting permit approval from the City of Bellevue before beginning construction The team is also in the process of obtaining permits for curbside pickup to offer convenient options for customers Details about Sano's case over the last two weeks remained sketchy There were unsubstantiated reports that Sano had confessed Sano's name was attached to a public statement of apology released by the public prosecutors office expressing remorse for the victim Contacted by the local "AZ Mainz" newspaper for comment Japanese legal expert Julius Weitzdörfer of the University of Hagen interprets the statement as a mere formality. such statements are commonplace in Japanese society Sano and two other reported assailants are expected to apologize to the alleged victim for the burden placed on them by the investigations The so-called "apology" does not translate to admission of guilt Sano's release and the cancellation of the charges affirm's the player's innocence. Coincidentally, there was also fresh news to report on in another Mainz personnel matter involving legal issues on Wednesday afternoon. The lawyer representing Dutch-Moroccan attacker Anwar El Ghazi in an ongoing legal dispute with the Palatinate club over back-pay confirmed that El Ghazi had voluntarily terminated his Mainz contract The 29-year-old has done so ahead of signing with another club. The Nullfünfter had lodged an appeal against the verdict issued by a German labor court ordering Mainz to pay El Ghazi €1.7 million in back-wages after he was released by the club over a pro Palestinian social media post last autumn. The matter is now a moot point as El-Ghazi has found a new employer The former Aston Villa and Everton professional is headed back to the Isle. El Ghazi is reportedly in Wales completing his medical The Mainz contract and claim for back-pay must be dropped in order for the twice-capped Dutch international to sign his new deal Confirmation of the Cardiff move is expected to come later today.

on the other there is a sensitivity to the innovations of Florentine painting of the time especially in the treatment of light on the figures the presence of numerous elements in continuity with the style of the Master of the Osservanza places this work at the center of the debate on the attribution of Sano di Pietro’s early production raising questions about the possible identification between the two “To find an entire polyptych in a museum or church is more unique than rare,” Axel Hémery director of the Pinacoteca Nazionale di Siena “And Sano di Pietro’s Gesuati Altarpiece in the Pinacoteca is an absolute masterpiece of both carpentry and painting the predella has been missing since the 19th century The isolated predella in the Louvre is often approximated to the miniature while the Polyptych evokes the connection between painters Only by bringing the predella and the altarpiece together can we get the right view of the object Collecting history has long separated the five Stories of Saint Jerome from the rest of the polyptych The polyptych is first mentioned in the Pinacoteca di Siena in the catalog compiled by Cesare Brandi in 1933 although it is unclear when it entered the collection purchased by the Musée du Louvre in 1863 from the Campana collection in Rome belonging to the Rinuccini collection in Florence There is little doubt that the polyptych corresponds to the one described in historical sources as coming from the church of the convent of San Girolamo in Siena Founded in 1355 by Blessed Giovanni Colombini the order was deeply committed toassisting the poor and needy so the polyptych is symbolic of the devotional fervor that characterized Siena at that time The charitable vocation of the order is recalled by the presence The recomposition of the entire Gesuati Polyptych therefore represents a unique opportunity to appreciate the work’s overall iconographic program it is a masterpiece that celebrates theascetic and penitential ideal promoted by the Jesuit order beloved by the Sienese for having dedicated himself to theassistance of the poor and needy by renouncing a life of affluence and depicted in the central compartment as he kneels to receive the Virgin’s blessing revered by the Jesuits for his hermitic ideal and penitential inclination who is instead depicted in the left-hand compartment The link between the saint and the order is narrated in the five scenes of the predella in which emblematic moments from the life of St with a particular focus on the spirituality of penance In addition to the image of the saint in penitence in the desert (Sano di Pietro depicts him in a cave one can see the rare episode of the dream in which St Jerome saw himself dragged before Christ and accused of devoting himself to the study of the classics instead of Doctrine and for this he is beaten by two angels (the first panel starting from the left) The large central compartment depicts the two scenes of the saint removing the thorn from the lion’s paw and of the latter bringing back to the convent the donkey stolen by the merchants the saint’s death is depicted alongside his appearances to Cyril of Jerusalem The Gesuati Polyptych is striking for its exceptional state of preservation and the overall integrity of the woodwork Also striking is the use of vivid and precious colors such as the lapis lazuli used for the Virgin’s robe which still retains a highly refined glazed effect luminous colors are especially evident in the predella which looks like a large-scale miniature because of the depiction of almost fairy-tale landscapes and the fine attention to detail The recomposition of the Gesuati Polyptych, which comes at a time of renewed interest in early 15th-century Sienese painting, stimulated by the recent Massa Marittima exhibition dedicated to Sassetta has been made possible thanks to a collaboration between the Pinacoteca Nazionale di Siena and the Louvre in Paris the Sienese museum has lent Duccio di Buoninsegna ’s Madonna dei Francescani to the Parisian museum on the occasion of the exhibition Revoir Cimabue Aux origines de la peinture italienne running from Jan “One year after the final reunion of the Pala dell’Osservanza the Pinacoteca does a new fundamental in-depth work thanks to the Musée du Louvre,” Hémery continues "The project grew out of the loan of Duccio’s Franciscan Madonna to the exceptional Revoir Cimabue exhibition at the Louvre and the idea of contributing doubly to the construction of art history with an exchange of loans that brings substance and richness to our two institutions The idea shared with the president of the Louvre is that this partnership will initiate other initiatives that could also involve the musée du Petit Palais in Avignon." According to the director of the National Picture Gallery partnerships such as the one the Sienese museum has established with the Louvre allow “past vicissitudes to be redressed.” And “the Pinacoteca Nazionale di Siena is the museum where the polyptych object is best read especially in its dimension as a masterpiece of carpentry were the only form known to art lovers in the countries of import of Sienese art Placing the Louvre predella next to the Siena Gesuati Polyptych is to restore meaning to the past and embellish the present.” Also in the vein of research on early 15th-century Sienese painting is the initiative promoted by the Friends of the Pinacoteca to reunite the Pala dell’Osservanza which gave its name to the Master of the Observance is currently on display in the same room as the Gesuati Polyptych thus offering a valuable opportunity to compare the two works A juxtaposition that makes it possible to deepen the debate on the attribution of Sano di Pietro’s early activities and possible identification with the anonymous Master of the Osservanza On the occasion of the exhibition event at the Pinacoteca Nazionale di Siena of recomposition of the Gesuati Polyptych there will also be numerous cultural activities aimed at involving the citizenship games for the youngest and in-depth guided tours To have the latest news and stories delivered to your inbox, subscribe here.

Volume 11 - 2017 | https://doi.org/10.3389/fnhum.2017.00120 Progress in medical science and technology drastically improved physicians’ ability to interact with patient’s physical body medicine still addresses the human body from a Hippocratic point of view considering the organism and its processes just as a matter of mechanics and fluids the interaction between the cognitive neuroscience of bodily self-consciousness (BSC) fundamentally rooted in the integration of multisensory bodily inputs haptic technologies and robotics is giving a new meaning to the classic Juvenal’s latin dictum “Mens sana in corpore sano” (a healthy mind in a healthy body) This vision provides the basis for a new research field “Embodied Medicine”: the use of advanced technologies for altering the experience of being in a body with the goal of improving health and well-being most of the research efforts in the field have been focused upon how external bodily information is processed and integrated we believe that existing bodily illusions still need to be improved to enhance their capability to effectively correct pathological dysfunctions they do not follow the suggestions provided by the free-energy and predictive coding approaches they lacked to consider a peculiar feature of the human body the multisensory integration of internal inputs (interoceptive proprioceptive and vestibular) that constitute our inner body dimension a future challenge is the integration of simulation/stimulation technologies also able to measure and modulate this internal/inner experience of the body we also proposed the concept of “Sonoception” as an extension of this approach The core idea is to exploit recent technological advances in the acoustic field to use sound and vibrations to modify the internal/inner body experience individuals process their body in a probabilistic manner as the most likely to be “me” the experience of the body is the result of a probabilistic process associating the different unimodal properties of the body from several sensory systems: exteroception (the body perceived through the senses proprioception (the sense of the position of the body/body segments originating through input of muscles and joints) vestibular input (the sense of motion and position of the body originating through vestibular system coding for the head position and movements) and interoception (the sense of the physiological condition of the body originating through muscular and visceral sensations or vasomotor activity) highlighting the existence of biochemical mechanisms accounting for the dependency of multisensory body integration and BSC on the immune system which may have important “implications for a range of neurological psychiatric and immunological conditions where alterations of multisensory integration body representation and dysfunction of the immune system co-exist” (p - by changing what is predicted by selecting only the sensory activity that confirms the model’s predictions (as happens in the RHI) This is achieved by reallocating resources to a previously deprioritized region of space and/or re-planning a motor response to an unexpected stimulus; - by changing the predictions of the model through the dynamic optimization of its parameters. However, this happens only when the level of estimation of uncertainty (Courville et al., 2006) which reflects the agent’s knowledge of the environment and can be reduced when the agent has the opportunity to make further observations of the environment the use of advanced technologies to modify our experience of being in a body to improve health and well-being At present, different companies are also working in this direction. For instance, Doppel 1 developed a wearable technology able to alter the heart rhythm by providing a customized haptic feedback to the wrist The device is based on the concept of “entrainment”—a process by which people innately respond to external rhythms by auto-adjusting their heart rate to synchronize with the beat we propose the concept of “Sonoception” as a possible extension of this non-invasive approach These examples suggest a direct link between sound and vibration somatosensory experiences and different diseases through the mediation of mechanoreceptors Based on this knowledge, and with the aim of s(t)imulating all the components of the inner body, the technology used by Sonoception would make use of the technology displayed in Figure 1. Specifically, (for a detailed description of the technology and rationale, see Table 1): - For Interoception we will employ contactless acoustic transducers to stimulate mechanoreceptors from chest and abdomen inducing respectively the perception of movements in the heart in the stomach A different strategy will be employed for the two organs; while ultrasounds will be used for the stomach we plan to use low bass frequencies for the heart - For Proprioception and the Vestibular Input we will use vibrotactile transducers to stimulate mechanoreceptors placed on muscles and on otolith organs within the vestibular system (A) A novel non-invasive technological paradigm using wearable acoustic and vibrotactile transducers This approach is able to modulate the inner body through the perception of movements in specific body parts (B) Low Bass Frequency and Ultrasounds contactless transducers are embedded in a jacket akin to a life-vest inducing the illusion of the perception of movements from the heart and the stomach (C) A detail of a wearable linear actuator that conduces bone-vibration evoking vestibular myogenic potentials originating from selective activation of the otolithic organs (D) Battery pack and electronics are hidden on the back of jacket This system will be easy to wear and to integrate with other interfaces such as bio-signal recording and stimulation systems (E) A detail of the spindle actuator applied to a wrist produces a sensation of hand displacement By exploiting the technology based on the concept of Sonoception it will be possible to modulate the inner body (including interoception to explore how these changes may affect the internal/inner subjective experience and to understand how variations of inner (interoceptive proprioceptive and vestibular) signals are related to BSC We are aware of the explorative nature of this approach but we believe that Sonoception could open novel scientific questions on the relationship between the self and inner subjective experience With these probable/proposed changes, a possible long-term goal is the reverse engineering of the psychosomatic processes. While the inter-disciplinary medical field of psychosomatic medicine explores the relationship between psychosocial and behavioral factors on bodily processes (Kiecolt-Glaser et al., 2002), embodied medicine could do the opposite, i.e., altering bodily processes to influence psychosocial and behavioral factors (Riva, 2016a) We suggest a software module working in a closed loop (e.g. a classifier like the technologies used in the Brain-Computer Interfaces) to facilitate the integration of the external (exteroceptive) and internal/inner (interoceptive proprioceptive and vestibular) inputs originating from the body and the environment This software will process and classify the psychophysiological signals which will be translated as vibratory signals and sent back to the body by the contactless acoustic transducers in real time This approach will allow the development of a hardware/software platform bridging VR with bio/neuro-feedback and brain/body stimulation technologies and offer an integrated tool able to address all the components of our bodily experience future clinical studies are needed to identify the best protocols and combination of technological tools to transform the dictum “Mens Sana in Corpore Virtuale Sano” into reality future research should aim at exploring the psycho-physiological and neural mechanisms enabling integration between inner body signals and exteroceptive inputs in (healthy and) clinical conditions characterized by alterations of body representation and multisensory integration of bodily information Professor GR conceived and

it is “surprised” by Japanese media reports that new signing Kaishu Sano was arrested in Japan “We cannot yet evaluate or comment on these reports due to a lack of information,” the club said Wednesday on the social network X “We’re trying to clarify the matter as quickly and comprehensively as possible.” He signed a four-year deal and is the club’s third Japanese signing after Shinji Okazaki and Yoshinori Muto was to join his new teammates in Mainz for preseason training on Sunday Toyota junior Yuki Sano won two Japanese Formula 4 races at Sportsland SUGO although only got points for one of his victories who won the season opener from pole then went two rounds without a top-five finish Last weekend he stepped up to Formula Regional Japan at Fuji Speedway and made an immediate impact by taking pole and victory in both races He hoped that would provide momentum for his F4 campaign OTG Motor Sports’ Kenta Kumagai was the surprise pacesetter in the first set of practice sessions by 0.007 seconds over Honda junior Yuto Nomura then in the wet conditions of the second group of sessions Nomura led Toyota junior Tokiya Suzuki by 0.546s setting a 1m42.135s to take race one pole by 0.274s Ponos Racing’s Kento Omiya was second fastest with team-mate Rintaro Sato and Bionic Jack Racing’s Ryo Shirasaki the only others within a second of pole Drivers’ second-best laptimes set race two’s grid A 1m42.433s put him 0.222s ahead of Omiya and 0.833s clear of fellow Toyota junior Kazuhisa Urabe Honda’s points-leading junior Ryota Horachi qualified seventh and fifth for the two races The track was still sodden and visibility was poor when race one began so the safety car led the field for four laps “Yugo” retired in the pits at the end of lap one Sano was brave enough to brake late into turn one despite not knowing how much grip he would have at racing speeds then lost another place to a great around-the-outside move by Kumagai Omiya and Sato pulled away from the rest of the field and on lap six Makio Saito spun but got going again so no yellow flags were required At the final corner Sato swept past Omiya for second On lap eight their battle was paused by the safety car returning so spinner “Kentaro” could have his car cleared The field was released again on the final lap Urabe had to hold off Suzuki and Toyota junior Kiyoshi Umegaki took sixth from Nomura after an agressive side-by-side battle Horachi only had two points taken out of his lead by finishing eighth Shouma Arimura was a few places behind before spinning out The 34-car field was split into two on Sunday with the drivers usually fighting to top the independent classification getting their own race They got to lap five of running behind the safety car before red flags waved and the race ended with worsening rain and half-points being awarded with just one-and-a-half laps behind the safety car before red flags terminated proceedings and made it a points-free race has been arrested with two other men on suspicion of sexually assaulting a woman at a Tokyo hotel who won his first cap for Japan last November and two men in their 20s are suspected of colluding in a sexual assault in the capital's Bunkyo Ward sometime between 2 a.m Tokyo police have not said how the three responded to the allegations The woman in her 30s contacted law enforcement immediately after the alleged assault Officers found the three men in a street close to the hotel and they were arrested late Sunday after being questioned on a voluntary basis according to the police and investigative sources The three men are believed to have eaten with the woman and a friend of hers on Saturday evening before heading to the hotel together The woman's friend went home before the incident The arrest comes after German Bundesliga club Mainz announced on July 3 that it had signed a four-year deal until 2028 with the defensive midfielder He had previously been with J-League first-division team Kashima Antlers Mainz said it was "surprised" by the reports of Sano's arrest but refrained from commenting further on the case The player had been due to join the club for training next Sunday Kashima Antlers released a statement expressing "great concern" in its capacity as the player's former club the club does not have the details and will continue to watch the situation closely," it read Sano
