Sometimes Good Enough Just Ain’t Good Enough: 10 Challenges For The Yankees Going Forward

Joey

October 21st

At the end of the year, 29 teams will head into the latter stages of the Fall simply saying they weren't good enough. On Saturday night, it was the Yankees turn to stand up, look in the mirror and say "Not good enough" as they bowed out of the ALCS in the deciding sixth game of the series. When you win 100 games, survive countless injuries, win with a sweep in the ALDS and lose on a walk off in game 6 of the ALCS it's normally a successful season but this is New York where expectations aren't the same as Milwaukee, Oakland, St. Louis or any of the teams who played into October before finally saying "Not good enough!" as they hung up their hats. The Yankees expect championships and it's sometimes mutant fanbase (of which I am firmly a member of) are now going on 10 years of no ticker tape parades. Still let's not lose ourselves to delirium and point out that this is a damn good team with a deep core and plenty of organizational depth to take the next step. The Yankees aren't falling off or in a rebuild; they have a team that guarantees every October, they'll be talking about the chase for 28 in earnest. With the season in the rear view mirror, let's chit chat about ten things the Yankees have to do or figure out as they continue that chase for 28.

1. Fire the training staff

Easy enough! Injuries can sometimes be fluky but good lord, the Yankees were besieged with them. All three starting outfielders (Judge, Stanton, Hicks) saw IL time, their back up OFs saw IL time, their starting catcher saw IL time, starting 1B saw IL time, pitchers both high on the totem pole and in the jabroni ranks went on the IL. Clean house!

2. The same ol' same ol' scramble for a lead starter

Since the end of 2016 when the rebuild was officially over, this team has been chasing the #1 starter you normally need in the post season. At the end of the day, it's just easier to win in the playoffs when you have a game 1 starter you have endless confidence in. While Boston got away with it in 2018, they also had Chris Sale who maybe didn't pitch like an ace but was clearly one of the top 5 starters in the AL that year. The big myth is that the Yankees don't have good starting pitching and that is for the most part a lie. The Yankees pitching after the All Star break was pretty solid and in the playoffs they got quality enough from guys like Severino, Paxton and Tanaka on an inconsistent basis. The Yankees pitching rotation is NOT awful and plenty of teams would kill for a 1-2-3 of a healthy Louis Severino, Masahiro Tanaka in big games and James Paxton after the All Star Break where he went 10-3 with a 3.59 ERA and an 11 K/9. In the playoffs, Paxton was more good than bad and Tanaka shoved in two of the three games he pitched in. That said those three have all battled injuries (Paxton admittedly pitched with a knee he never quite felt great about) and all three of them weren't good enough in the playoffs. Maybe that changes with Severino healthy, Paxton more comfortable and Tanaka staying his usual course but it would be difficult to return with the same rotation in tact and say you feel confident about your chances against the Astros. This has been a chase that has spanned three years now as the Yankees tried with James Paxton, Sonny Gray and J.A Happ, were outbit on the likes of Carlos Quintana, Yu Darvish and Gerritt Cole and allegedly never tried for the likes of Marcus Stroman, Patrick Corbin, Justin Verlander and countless others. 2019 will be yet another year where they'll enter Christmas hoping to have a starter locked up.

The two obvious names will play next week when Gerrit Cole and Stephen Strasburg take the bump for Houston and Washington respectively. In the Yankees of old, George Steinbrenner would hand Brian Cashman a blank check and tell him to pay for one IF not both. Time's have changed for better and/or worse with the Yankees. Brian Cashman is a man of due diligence and a man with the longest leash in sports. The Yankees didn't spend on Corbin, didn't try on Harper and made a modicum of effort for Manny Machado last year. In the free agent market, they're likely to not play heavily unless Hal Steinbrenner pretty much demands it. Paying for Cole and Strasburg is the easier fix but it's an avenue they've shied away from recently plus there are teams who "need" those guys more. The Yankees probably aren't as desperate as, say, the Angels are to win in the Mike Trout era and they've got money to play with so why not? The solution may be the trade market where the Yankees can make some hay in their search for a #1. Brian Cashman has parlayed his farm system (which is still plenty deep) into the opportunity to trade for arms in the past which figures to once again be the case. Conversely in the trade market, the farm is thinner than it's been in recent years AND Cashman prides himself on not losing trades. Also there's not much TO trade out there. Obviously it's his job as a GM to go out and find a potential solution that maybe the public hasn't heard is available but right now who is the best starter knowing that the Mets and the Yankees won't trade? It's not a robust market.

So your solutions are to pull a rabbit out of your hat or pay or hope Severino becomes an ace again after an injury plagued season. I suppose the only potential opt out route would be to sign a Hyun Jin-Ryu or a Jake Odorizzi and hope you can just build a deep rotation of names and faces that will give you quantity (while not high end quality) at the end of it.

3. Figure out Luke Voit

Let's play a game.

Player A- .333/.405/.689 195 wRC+ 14 HR 26.4% K rate Player B- .280/.393/.509 140 wRC+ 19 HR 25.8% K rate Player C- .238/.348/.368 95 wRC+ 4 HR 32.3% K rate

Player A is Luke Voit during his 2018 run with the Yankees Player B is Luke Voit up until he got hurt in the London Series Player C is Luke Voit from July 12th to the end of the year

Voit will never be the guy who took over the MLB in 2018. The sample size was bound to even itself out over time and Voit was bound to cool off when pitchers got to know him better. Player B though is a borderline All Star level first basemen. A power hitter who could hit for average, got on base at a solid clip and play a somewhat manageable first base is an asset for any team but especially a Yankees squad that has been hungry for competent first base play since injuries robbed Mark Texeira of his ability. Then? Voit got hurt. Back issues limited down the stretch and as you can tell by the numbers, Player C was awful. He just looked timid and afraid like he had been sapped of his confidence entirely. Luke Voit got left off the ALCS roster and had to watch as the offense struggled without him. Imagine a confident and healthy Luke Voit at the DH spot instead of Edwin Encarnacion when he went ice cold in the ALCS and maybe the series is a bit different. The Yankees are saddled with determining which half of the Luke Voit story is the real one. The Yankees are a better team when DJ LeMahieu is freed up to play 2B where he's an insanely elite defender and Luke Voit could help in that regard. At the same time? The Yankees have been burnt in the past by gambling at 1B (like when they kept thinking Greg Bird would finally put it together) and options would help. Even if he ran out of gas, Edwin Encarnacion did some good work when he was healthy and few dudes hit dingers the way he does when he's locked in. There's also Greg Bird I guess? Which reminds me....

4. MAYBE chase better balance

I don't believe a team gets better by marrying itself to letters next to names ie: we have to have x amount of leties in our pen. I do think that the Yankees righty heavy lineup could use some better balance. The team was batting Gardner 3rd in the playoffs despite his inability to do much of anything for stretches because they felt like they needed someone to break up the righties at the top of the bill. With two lefties about to hit free agency, maybe the Yankees need to flirt a bit with shaking things up in their lineup. Getting back a healthy Hicks would help of course but in general, this team could benefit from having maybe one more competent lefty bat especially if Did is out of here. It's not the sexiest name alive but given Voit's struggles down the stretch and the fact that they could probably use a more competent 1B defensively, maybe Mitch Moreland (former Red Sox 1B) as a back up/defensive replacement could make sense. Coming off an injury plagued season where he was still pretty damn productive vs righties. Maybe this is even where Mike Ford (who caught on late) fits as a future part of the team.

5. Figure out your free agents

Dellin Betances- There's some serious rebound value in bringing Betances back at fair market value. The Yankees just never had a replacement for what Betances could do as a pseudo fireman; a guy with low contact rates who can K a side and come in the middle of an inning to calm things down. Betances at a multi year deal would be a fair and modest investment.

Brett Gardner- There's a group of mutant Yankee fans who hate Brett Gardner and I feel like people forget Gardner was supposed to be at the very most a part time 4th OF. Injuries forced Gardner to continually play and he answered the bell quite well every time. He'll likely take a step back next year BUT he'll also be asked to play less.

Edwin Encarnacion- Was absolutely brutal in the ALCS but hits for power and usually has composed at bats. Was always a hired gun who the Yankees were probably gonna buy out when the time was right.

Didi Gregorios- Ugh. Didi went from being one of Brian Cashman's biggest steals and a potential cornerstone to a guy who will probably be allowed to test the open market. Didi's strengths are his defense, his clubhouse presence and his better than advertised bat but the Yankees have been waiting on him to take a firm step into top 10 SS for about two years now and it's not coming. He deserves a lot of credit for battling back from injury but he was brutal outside of games vs the Twins. I also sort of feel like his approach is all wrong for the Yankees as its constructed. For a team that preaches patience at the place and commanding the strike zone, Didi's approach often gets worse the more pitches he takes so he often swings at the first pitch and often does so when it's the wrong time. Defensively it looked like he took a step back as well although that may have been due to injury. The Yankees are better with DJ at 2nd and Gleyber at short and a competent 1B manning that spot but they love Didi so much (and he's so valuable when he's right) that they kept forcing him into the spot.

Austin Romine- Catching across the league is bad and Romine, noodle arm aside, is a solid back up catcher. Those tend to get signed for decent coin and normally for multi year deals. As such the Yankees need to maybe consider their options at the BUC spot because they won't have Romine.

Cameron Maybin- I'm not entirely sure Maybin's got a real fit here now. If Stanton, Judge and Hicks are healthy then it's probably him vs Gardner because Mike Tauchman has a long term future here. I wish Cameron Maybin well, he was a breath of fresh of air in the locker room and he deserves to have a good spot on a team somewhere.

6. Figure your outfield situation out

We know Judge, Stanton and Hicks are going to be here. Mike Tauchman was a star and a half for a month and change before injuries finally sapped him of his super powers. Gardner is a free agent but I'm betting the Yankees will bring him back comfortably so. Beyond them you have Estevan Florial (a former Yankees top prospect on a slide), Clint Frazier (a borderline toxic fit for the Yankees) as well as pseudo OFs Tyler Wade and Thairo Estrada. The Yankees OF depth tends to get tested throughout the year but is Clint Frazier better suited to be a trade piece for some team in desperate need of an outfielder?

7. Settle the 'pen out a bit.

Yankees have four tremendous bullpen arms tied up with Britton, Ottavino, Green and Kahnle comfortably under wraps. Aroldis Chapman will probably opt out in a so-so closer's market and the Yankees will probably re-sign him (they took the PR smear after trading for him and then brought him back so clearly they value him). If not? Britton was an ace closer but in general the bullpen needs more arms. Remember the CLOSEST they got for a trade in July was for Bluejays closer Ken Giles so I'd imagine they'll poke around there too. If you can't find a starter of high quality and won't trade for one then you need one more big arm in the pen. It'd be pretty cool to both a) get a stud reliever and b) hurt your primary rivalries by signing either Joe Smith or Will Harris from under Houston.

8. Find a role for whatever J.A. Happ is.

The Yankees got ace level production of J.A. Happ when they had him in 2018 and even including his playoff bust vs Boston, bringing him back in some form or fashion seemed like a can't miss concept. Well it done missed. Pick whatever metric you want and Happ was genuinely bad for a Yankees team that desperately needed him to ONLY be a competent arm. He did improve as the season went along (imagine how awful he had to be that his last five starts with a 2.33 ERA that it managed to ONLY finish at a sub 5 ERA) and a lot of his game felt like it was just blitzed by the juiced ball and a lack of adapting to that. Happ is still under contract for 2020 and it's going to be hard to shake his deal so you're stuck with him. Figure out I guess if he's a long man, a 5th starter or a really overly expensive LOOGY type.

9. Battle royal the 5th spot

Keeping with that, the Yankees were roasted for their lack of SP depth and it showed up big last year. The fact that this team turned to an opener and wound up riding the likes of Chance Adams and Nestor Cortes as long men suggests they got got by the lack of options in the rotation. Turn the 5th spot into a battle royal position. Jordan Montgomery, J.A. Happ, Johnny Lasagna, a few retreads on other teams who are a tinkered arm angle away from being a competent 5th starter etc etc etc. Don't go into the year just figuring your minor league depth options are going to be enough because it probably won't be.

Unless you want to sign Zack Wheeler or Jake Odorizzi and be done with it.

10. Accept Gary Sanchez

I guess this is more for Yankees fans than anybody else. Gary Sanchez is a good catcher. Offensively when he's healthy, he's among the game's best and defensively? He's actually improving really well to be one of the better catches in the AL. He has a crazy throwing arm and while stolen bases are becoming less frequent, he's still got the ability to further mitigate that. Sanchez is a good player who plays the most physically demanding position in baseball and does a good job at it. His playoff numbers were abysmal this year but I still have faith.

Le concessioni d89, d90 e d91 FR GM della Global Med del Colorado sono le tre piu' a destra. La d89 e' stata approvata, le altre sono ancora in via di approvazione. Il tutto a 13 miglia da Santa Maria di Leuca. Il limite marino e' di 12 miglia. Furbi, eh? Ancora piu' furbi Dario Franceschini e Gianluca Galletti che approvano questi scempi. Anzi, queste crociere sismiche. Ma come... per tutta l'estate sono rimbalzate sulle nostre pagine facebook e sulla stampa nazionale che mezzo mondo va a fare le vacanze in Puglia! Madonna, i ricchi immobiliaristi americani, Ivanka Trump, Helen Mirren e un sacco di gente che pare non poterne avere abbastanza di Otranto e di Gallipoli e di Monopoli. Ed ora, il nostro governo approva l'airgun, cioe' l'anticamera delle trivelle, nella penisola salentina. E' proprio quello ci vuole, eh? E lo fanno il giorno 31 Agosto, nel bel mezzo dell'estate che finisce. Ci sono zifidi e capidogli, tartarughe della specie caretta caretta. E vanno a fare airgun? Curioso che forse per non fare troppo brutto lo chiamano crociera sismica invece che airgun. Sono ridicoli. Veramente non riesco a capacitarmene di come si possa essere cosi scemi. Andiamo a leggere. Entrambe le concessioni arrivano da parte della Global Med, microditta misteriosa con sede legale in Colorado presso il numero 6901 South Pierce Street, Suite 390, Littleton. Il suo domicilio e' presso lo Studio Legale Turco, Viale Gioacchino Rossini 9, Roma 00198. Mmh. Vorrei tanto sapere chi e' questo avvocato Turco. E ancora di piu vorrei sapere chi siede dietro questa Global Med nella sua suite di Littleton. Da internet emerge che e' una ditta privata e che agisce come parte della Global Resource Holdings una LLLP che sta per Limited liability limited partnership. Tutte quelle L significano essenzialmente che non si assumono alcuna responsabilita', cioe' questa Global Med/Global Resource Holding e' una micro micro micro ditta che viene qui solo per sfruttare lo sfruttabile e senza vergogna alcuna. Ma bastano un po di click per vedere chi e' il capo di questa Global Med. Si tratta di tale Randall C. Thompson che ha investito a suo dire circa 1.5 milioni di dollari per le trivelle "profonde" nel golfo di Taranto e nello Ionio. Dal suo sito diretto agli investitori dice che ha fatto richiesta di sei concessioni offshore e fatto cinque richieste di valutazione ambientale. Ricorda ai suoi potenziali investori che lui e' specializzato in progetti petroliferi internazionali allo stadio iniziale e che ha avuto gia' successo in Marocco, Nuova Zelanda, Cina e Belize. Prima era un manager della Exxon e della Amoco. Il suo scopo e' di fare il lavoro iniziale di accertarsi che il petrolio c'e' ed e' giusto e poi di vendersi a ditte maggiori. Essenzialmente quelli della Global Med sono dei mercenari! Ma leggiamo esattamente cosa hanno approvato quegli intelligentoni di Roma, Dario Franceschini e Gianluca Galletti che non hanno mai incontrato una trivella che non gli piaceva. Come detto, si tratta di due concessioni. La prima e' la d89 FR GM "nel Mar Ionio settentrionale di fronte alla punta meridionale della penisola salentina" come dice il sito ministeriale, la seconda e' la d80 FR GM di cui parleremo nel prossimo post per non allungare troppo il presente. Intanto, la d89 FR GM e' a 13 miglia da Santa Maria di Leuca, ed e' fuori dalla fascia di interdizione delle trivelle delle 12 miglia. Un miglio si sono lasciati! E non e' neanche lontanissima da varie aree protette fra cui i siti di interesse comunitario Costa di Otranto e Santa Maria di Leuca, il Posidonieto Capo San Gregorio e Punta Ristola, il litorale di Ugento, il Litorale di Gallipoli e l'Isola di Sant'Andrea, e Alimini. Ma che vuoi che sia avere airgun e trivelle vicino alle posidonie marine! Per chi non lo riscordasse le posidonie sono le specie vegetali maggiormente protetti nel mare perche' sono rarissime e portano vita al mare, habitat ai pesci. Sono un segno di mare sano e anzi, lo rendono sano. Galletti e Franceschini decretano che "gli impatti sono estremamente bassi e del tutto irreversibili". Oh certo. Ma che ne se sanno loro dei cicli di reversibilita' della natura? Su quali basi dicono questo? Hanno mai visto il mare petrolifero di Gela o di Galveston e hanno mai visto quanto reversibile sia stato l'impatto dell'industria petrolifera in quelle zone? E non venissero a dirmi che e' "solo" airgun. Come sempre: l'airgun e' l'ANTICAMERA della trivelle, non un mero esercizio navale per la conoscenza del sottosuolo. E Mr. Thompson lo sa bene questo. Il suo scopo e' trivellare non di fare airgun. Per lui l'airgun e' solo il punto di partenza. Come sempre, non glien'e' importato niente a Roma delle "numerose" osservazioni giunte, e anzi prendono pure in giro la gente dicendo (come fanno sempre ormai) che le osservazioni del pubblico sono state usate per le "controdeduzioni" del proponente. Pure la regione Puglia aveva detto no. Come dire: Mr. Thompson, dal Colorado, che del Salento non sa e non ama certo niente, ha il diritto alla prima e all'ultima parola sull'airgun in Salento. Il parere della gente, o della regione Puglia, non conta niente. Sara' che Mr. Thompson ha 1.5 milioni di dollari da buttare dietro alle trivelle salentine, e i cittadini del Salento no e quindi i pugliesi valgono un po meno rispetto ai tanti quattrini che arrivano dal Colorado? Quello che Mr. Thompson ha comprato finora con il suo 1.5 milioni di dollari e' stato il diritto di sparare in mare in un area di circa 745 kmq mettendo a soqquadro la vita marina lungo un tracciato di 148 km. Sara' una indagine sismica in due dimensioni, ma se lo si vorra', in seguito, si potranno prendere dati anche in tre dimensioni a patto che venga eseguito un nuovo studio ambientale. Ovviamente la visuale in 3D e' piu' approfondita e quindi la presa dati e' piu' impattante sulla vita marina. Ancora piu' drammatico e' che questi scemi di Roma approvano l'airgun del Salento ben sapendo che la d89 FR GM e' parte di un complesso piu' grande! E infatti dicono che si tratta di un progetto a piu' larga scala che comprende anche la d90 FR GM e la d91 FR GM. Queste concessioni sono contigue alla presente d89 FR GM. Sara' una macroarea da trivellare. E visto che questa qui e' approvata, sono quasi sicura che le altre due, la d90 e la d91 saranno approvate pure loro, perche' saranno identiche! E uno dice: ma perche' fanno tre istanze e non una sola? Perche' la legge dice che occorre fare concessioni al massimo di 750kmq per uno "sviluppo razionale" delle risorse. Qui quella della Global Med avevano un lotto piu' grande, e quindi l'hanno spezzato in pezzettini piu' piccoli. Il decreto dice che l'hanno fatto per "ottemperare a quanto richiesto dalla normativa". Ciascuno puo' interpretare la parola "ottemperare" come meglio crede. Ma poi .... che senso ha prendere un pezzo grande, spezzarlo in piu' parti e approvarli separatamente? Se c'e' questo divieto a concessioni superiori a 750kmq, un motivo ci sara', no? Qui pare tutto fatto a casaccio. Arriviamo alle prescrizioni. Ridicole come sempre. Le navi airgun di Mr. Thompson dovranno portarsi appresso un osservatore "altamente specializzato" di mammiferi marini, che dovra' mostrare competenza ed esperienza con i cetacei nell'area. Lo scopo e' di osservare. Certo, osserviamo mentre spariamo! Dovranno essere presi dati prima dell'inzio degli spari per almeno 60 giorni, e dovranno essere determinati valori di soglia di rumore entro i quali potranno esserci disturbi comportamentali e danni fisiologici. Cioe': sara' Mr. Thompson del Colorado a determinare i valori di soglia, mica glieli impone il governo! E secondo voi quali saranno questi valori di soglia? Quelli giusti per gli animali o quelli giusti per il portafoglio di Mr. Thompson? Che domande, eh? Dovranno presentare al governo i risultati con i loro modellini, la loro ricerca bibliografica, le precauzioni prese per minimizzare i rischi di "riversamenti accidentali di oli, carburanti, sostanze tossiche e inquinanti liquidi in generale". Insomma, sara' come fare un compitino a casa, e presentarlo al ministero. I dati dovranno essere resi pubblici. Ma... una volta guardati questi rapporti che ce ne facciamo? Non potranno entrare in aree dove ci sono zone di ripopolamento ittico e coralli, non potranno andare a fare airgun in periodi di deposito uova e riproduzione delle principali specie "commerciali" e dovranno lavorare con le Capitanerie di Porto locali per coordinare spostamenti ed attivita' varie. Domanda: ma ... se il periodo di riproduzione e di deposito uova deve essere evitato, questo non vuol dire forse che l'airgun ha effetti negativi sulla vita marina? Ma certo. Non lo si puo' negare nonostante tutte le belle parole prese dai nostri governanti. Lo sanno anche loro che non e' vero che gli impatti sono trascurabili, altrimenti gli farebbero sparare anche sulle uova e durante il periodo di riproduzione, no? Andiamo avanti. Se si scoprono relitti archeologici dovra' essere notificata la Soprintendenza di Puglia. E alla fine l'ISPRA dovra' venire a certificare il tuttapposto. E il turismo? E la volonta' popolare? E le trivelle future? E l'ambiente? E gli accordi di Parigi? E la coscienza? Tutto venduto a quegli 1.5 milioni di dollari di Mr. Thompson.

La posa del caffè e la psicanalisi 46. Costituzione del GM

Costituzione del Podice della Fille de mon peuple

Quando si ebbe, in un certo modo, la possibilità di schematizzare o somatizzare il fantasma di quel podice della fille de mon peuple[i], che, poi, chiameremo “Gregorio”, e lo facemmo con la morfologia assunta e in uso nel Dasein di quella domenica di fine marzo, un assetto costituzionale da venticinquenne mesoendomorfa[ii], e quindi con l’indice costituzionale superiore a 53, qualcosa che pesasse più di 66 chili e quindi con un indice del pondus, a fare i conti adesso, pari a : 12, il valore più elevato nella forchetta del valore Alto(che va da 20 a 12 , più decresce più il valore “alto” si innalza verso l’altissimo): 174 – (66 + 96=)162= 12. Messo così quel podex della giovane donna portatrice di cotanto “Gregorio” 12, sarebbe stato tenuto con quei jeans di quella domenica per una dall’indice costituzionale pari a 55.17, per via dei fianchi di 96 centimetri: 96 x 100: altezza 174= 55.17. La primavera era venuta, ma, in verità, all’epoca ci facemmo poco caso. A differenza, invece, della fille de mon peuple, che, facendo perno su quella apparizione, dette fondo e magnitudine al suo piacere singolare articolato sul suo muso, sul suo Gregorio, sulla sua faccia, i suoi jeans e il (-phi) del poeta, portatore, in ogni senso, dell’Enzuvë.(...)

Experts discuss biotech crops as a greener solution

#PHinfo: Experts discuss biotech crops as a greener solution

LOS BAÑOS, Laguna, Dec 5 (PIA) --A UK-based agricultural economist and scientists from the University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB) reported that using crop biotechnology has reduced pesticide use associated with environmental impact and has been found to be beneficial for agricultural biodiversity.

The experts discussed these during an online technical forum on “Greener Greens: Environmental Impact of Biotech Crops” convened by the Southeast Asian Regional Center for Graduate Study and Research in Agriculture (SEARCA) in partnership with the Biotechnology Coalition of the Philippines, CropLife Asia, Program for Biosafety Systems, International Rice Research Institute (IRRI), Philippine Rice Research Institute (PhilRice), Department of Agriculture-Biotechnology Program Office (DA-BPO), UPLB-Institute of Plant Breeding, and the International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-biotech Applications (ISAAA).

Dr. Graham Brookes, an agricultural economist at the UK-based PG Economics Ltd, presented the cumulative impact of using genetically modified (GM) crop technology in agriculture from 1996 to 2018.

Aside from significant net economic benefits at the farm level amounting to more than USD 200 billion over a period of 22 years, he also presented key environmental impacts associated with using crop biotechnology such as reduced pesticide application by 775.4 million kg (8.3%). He said this resulted in the decreased environmental impact associated with herbicide and insecticide use on crops.

“Genetic modification is an important contribution to increasing world production of soybeans, corn, canola and cotton—resulting in higher yields, higher incomes, more reliable food supply, adoption of more sustainable farming systems, more environmentally-friendly farming methods, and reduction in carbon emissions,” Dr. Brookes said.

This was affirmed by a study on Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) corn and arthropod biodiversity in corn fields presented by Dr. Merdelyn Caasi-Lit and Dr. Ireneo L. Lit, Jr., both professors and scientists at UPLB. Their study showed that as Bt corn ensures good yield by protecting the crop against corn borer infestation andreducing farm inputs for pesticide use, it has also proven to be beneficial for agrobiodiversity.

“Increased arthropod diversity should be considered precious bonuses added to the economic gains of planting Bt corn. They make Bt corn farming more ecologically sound and environmentally sustainable,” Dr. Caasi-Lit explained.

The three experts also addressed questions and concerns from participants that ranged from mitigating possible environmental impact of unauthorized GM seeds to recommendations on existing regulatory policies, status of CRISPR-Cas9 projects in the country, and effective means of promoting knowledge about the advantages of GMOs in agriculture and economy.

The forum was as part of the 16th National Biotechnology Week led by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR). More than a thousand participants from Asia, Europe, and South America attended the forum, including a big turnout of students and teachers from different universities in the Philippines.

In co-organizing the forum, SEARCA affirms its commitment to promote credible, science-based innovations said SEARCA Director Dr. Glenn B. Gregorio.

“As current global pandemic and recent calamities put more pressure on every sector of society to be innovative, it is high time to emphasize the positive impacts of biotechnology on the various sectors especially in the area of environmental protection and sustainability, which also encompasses food production and consumption,” Gregorio stressed.

LA CURA DEL #Covid-19

Un camarero en paro logra lo que laboratorios con presupuestos millonarios no pueden conseguir.

Toma notición.

Cuando me echaron, solo tenía ganas de llorar. ¿Cómo pagaré el alquiler? ¿Cómo compraré comida? Pero me puse las zapas y estuve media hora saltando a la comba. No hay nada que un poco de sudor no arregle. O al menos no mejore. Y entonces me llegó la idea. Eran tan sencilla que parecía imposible.

Sin embargo, mientras más la desarrollaba, más perfecta parecía.

Estudié Virología. Ha sido mi pasión desde que nací. Pero una deuda que contrajo mi padre me condenó a dejar de estudiar. Al contrario que mis compañeros, no me pude permitir ser profesor ni entrar de becario en una farmacéutica. Acabé de camarero. Es triste, pero yo intento pensar en que mi sueldo me otorga una vida digna y me deja adquirir humilde material de laboratorio para mis experimentos caseros.

Realicé unas sencillas pruebas y dieron positivas.

Solo me faltaba testarlo en humanos, así que no lo dudé. Diez minutos en las Urgencias del Gregorio Marañón lograron mi propósito.

Eso fue hace cinco días. Ayer mañana me sometí al tratamiento. Hoy me le levantado sin fiebre y respiro como el del anuncio de los Halls.

He llamado a Moncloa, pero no me han pasado con el Presidente. La tele me ha preguntado quién era y, como no soy conocido, me han colgado tachándome de inhumano.

En las redes sociales y pese a los mil hashtags nadie me ha retuiteado. Un simple camarero no puede lograr nada interesante porque no lo respalda un Medio Institucionalizado. Tan solo mi prima me ha dado un like.

Pero no me rindo.

En el GM, curando al más desahuciado de sus pacientes, demostraría la verdad. He cogido el breve dosier donde explico mi experimento y la jeringuilla con la solución.

Llovía a mares. La Policía me ha dado el alto. A mis sinceras explicaciones han reaccionado con burlas dolorosas.

He salido corriendo y ya me imaginaba libre cuando ha sonado el disparo. Una dentadura de plomo me ha mordido el torso. En medio segundo, mi frente golpeaba el asfalto.

El dosier ha desaparecido por la alcantarilla del Ayuntamiento.

Yo muero sin que a nadie importe mi trabajo.

TABANAN: Kunjungan ke Bali menjadi kesempatan yang tak disia-siakan peserta famtrip Filipina untuk mengeksplore keindahan panorama Tanah Lot. Ikon Bali yang melegenda itu memang menjadi salah satu tujuan favorit wisatawan mancanegara (wisman), tak terkecuali wisman Filipina.

Tanah Lot menjadi destinasi wisata terakhir peserta famtrip sebelum mereka kembali ke Filipina, Kamis (4/4/2019) dengan menggunakan penerbangan malam. Begitu tiba di Tanah Lot, mereka yang terdiri dari Gilbert (CTOURZ.Inc), Medy C Gonzales Holili (GM Ticketianda Travel and Tours), April Rose T (GM Golden Sunrise Travel and Tours), Jose AR ( Ambik Travel and Tours), Gregorio Sarita (GIS Travel and Tours), dan Charisse (GM One World Travel and Tours) langsung menyebar untuk mengambil foto selfie mereka. Kevin sebagai leader guide sampai kewalahan mengumpulkan mereka untuk sekedar foto bersama dengan background tanah lot.

Di Tanah Lot, Gilbert dengan tripodnya sibuk berfoto ria ke sana kemari mengambil view yang bagus. "Pemandangan yang luar biasa. Kita bisa mengambil foto dari angel mana saja," kata Gilbert yang tampak sibuk dengan tripodnya. Sementara Medy tak henti-hentinya berfoto selfie dengan menggunakan tongsis.

Di Tanah Lot yang terletak di wilayah kabupaten Tabanan, wisatawan asing maupun domestik memang tampak menikmati pemandangan pantai yang airnya sedang surut itu. Mereka tidak hanya menikmati pemandangan yang ada, namun mereka juga berbondong-bondong menyusuri pantai. Dengan kondisi air surut, para pelancong seakan-akan tak mau menyia-nyiakan kesempatan menuju pura tua yang jika air pasang tampak berada di tengah laut. Mereka juga bermain air sambil tak lupa mengabadikan momen air surut ini dengan kamera telepon selular (ponsel). Kunjungan wisatawan sendiri naik 50 persen, sebagaimana terlihat dari data pada kunjungan wisatawan ke Tanah Lot mencapai 7.000 orang.

Dalam liburan kali ini, kunjungan wisatawan didominasi oleh wisatawan domestik yang umumnya berasal dari Jawa Timur dan Sumatera. Sementara untuk wisman tampak wisatawan asal Tiongkok yang mendominasi.

“Tanah Lot memang keren. Penataan kawasan objek wisatanya lebih mengedepankan nuansa religius yang dipadukan dengan panorama dan keindahan alam,” ujar Menteri Pariwisata RI, Arief Yahya di lain kesempatan.

Menurut Arief Yahya panorama Tanah Lot sangat indah, apalagi melihat matahari tenggelam di sanat. Pesona pantai dengan background memerah saat sunset bisa dinikmati di sana. Nuansanya makin terasa asyik dengan balutan Pura Luhur Tanah Lot. Bangunan yang berdiri di atas karang itu terlihat sangat artistik.

Nuansa Bali-nya sangat terasa, setidaknya ada enam pura (tempat sembahyang umat Hindu, red), yang berdiri di atas lahan seluas 3.600 meter persegi itu. Pura-pura tersebut adalah Pura Tanah Lot, Pura Enjung Galuh, Pura Jro Kandang, Pura Batu Bolong, Pura Batu Mejan dan Pura Pekedungan. Yang paling sakral, tentu Pura Tanah Lot, pura ini berdiri di atas batu karang besar. Beratus-ratus tahun lamanya deburan ombak menghantam, tetapi pura itu tetap berdiri.

New Post has been published on All about business online

New Post has been published on http://yaroreviews.info/2018/11/trump-studying-new-auto-tariffs-after-gm-restructuring

Trump studying new auto tariffs after GM restructuring

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that new auto tariffs were “being studied now,” asserting they could prevent job cuts such as the U.S. layoffs & plant closures that General Motors Co (GM.N) announced this week.

Trump said on Twitter that the 25 percent tariff placed on imported pickup trucks & commercial vans from markets external North America in the 1960s had long boosted U.S. vehicle production.

“If we did that with cars coming in, many more cars would be built here,” Trump said, “and G.M. would not be closing their plants in Ohio, Michigan & Maryland.”

The United States currently has a 2.5 percent tariff on imported cars & sport utility vehicles from markets external North America & South Korea. The new North American trade deal exempts the first 2.6 million SUVs & passenger cars built in Mexico & Canada from new tariffs.

Several automakers said privately on Wednesday they feared GM’s action could immediate Trump to take action faster than expected on new tariffs.

GM did not directly comment on Trump’s tweets, yet reiterated that it was committed to investing in the United States. On Monday, the company said it would shutter five North American plants, stop building six low-selling passenger cars in North America & cut up to 15,000 jobs. The company has no plans to shift production of those vehicles to other markets.

The administration has for months been considering imposing dramatic new tariffs on imported vehicles.

The U.S. Commerce Department has circulated draft recommendations to the White House on its investigation into whether to impose tariffs of up to 25 percent on imported cars & parts on national security grounds, Reuters reported earlier this month.

“The President has tremendous power on this issue – Because of the G.M. event, it is being studied now!” Trump said.

The prospect of tariffs of 25 percent on imported autos & parts has sent shockwaves through the auto industry, with both U.S. & foreign-brand producers lobbying against it & warning that national security tariffs on EU & Japanese vehicles could dramatically raise the price of many vehicles.

‘ALL AVAILABLE TOOLS’

Trump has in addition harshly criticized GM for building cars in China. The United States slapped an additional 25 percent tariff on Chinese-made vehicles earlier this year, prompting China to retaliate.

China currently imposes a 40 percent tariff on U.S. automobiles, while the United States has a 27.5 percent tariff on Chinese vehicles.

U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer said in a statement on Wednesday that he “will examine all available tools to equalize the tariffs applied to automobiles.”

Additional tariffs on Chinese-made vehicle & parts would have a limited impact, said Kristin Dziczek, an economist at the Center for Automotive Research. She famous only a small number of vehicles were exported from China to the United States annually.

The White House previously pledged not to move forward with imposing national security tariffs on the European Union or Japan as long as it was making constructive progress in trade talks.

Trump wants the EU & Japan to buy more American-made vehicles. He wants the EU & Japan to make trade concessions including lowering the EU’s 10 percent tariff on imported vehicles & cutting non-tariff barriers.

The White House in recent weeks has reached out to the chief executives of German automakers including Daimler AG (DAIGn.DE), BMW AG (BMWG.DE) & Volkswagen AG (VOWG_p.DE) approximately assembly to discuss the status of auto trade.

Canada hits back on U.S. tariffs; Mnuchin denies Trump wants to…

OTTAWA/WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Canada struck back at the Trump administration on Friday over U.S. steel and aluminum tariffs, vowing to impose punitive measures on C$16.6 billion ($12.63 billion) worth of American goods until Washington relents.

The retaliation came as General Motors Co warned that any tariffs Washington might impose on imported vehicles could cost U.S jobs, and as Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin denied a report that President Donald Trump wanted to withdraw from the World Trade Organization.

Rising trade tension between Canada and the United States and a pushback from U.S. businesses on further tariffs, including on imported autos, pressured a White House that has championed an “America First” protectionist stance since Trump took office in January 2017.

Mnuchin lashed out against a report by the Axios news website that said Trump frequently told advisers he wanted the United States to quit the WTO, a move that could devastate global commerce. The report cited people involved in discussions with the president.

“This is an exaggeration,” Mnuchin said. “The president has been clear … he has concerns about the WTO, he thinks there’s aspects of it that are not fair, he thinks that China and others have used it to their own advantage, but we are focused on free trade. That’s what we’re focused on – breaking down barriers.”

Canada’s retaliatory tariffs, effective on July 1, largely target U.S. steel and aluminum products, along with foodstuffs such as coffee, ketchup and whisky, according to a list released by Canada’s Finance Department.

“We will not escalate and we will not back down,” Canadian Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland told reporters at a Stelco Holdings Inc plant in the steel city of Hamilton, Ontario.

The measures are designed to pressure Trump by focusing on goods from states where his Republican party is fighting to hold Congressional seats in the November miterm elections. They were announced just as America’s largest automaker warned that overly broad tariffs could isolate U.S. businesses and cut jobs.

The Trump administration in May launched an investigation into whether imported vehicles posed a national security threat. Trump has repeatedly threatened a 20 percent import tariff on vehicles.

In comments filed with the U.S. Commerce Department, GM said expansive tariffs could “lead to a smaller GM, a reduced presence at home and abroad for this iconic American company, and risk less — not more — U.S. jobs.”

GM, which makes many vehicles for the U.S. market in Mexico and Canada, said the tariffs could hike vehicle prices and reduce sales.

Even if automakers opted not to pass along higher costs to consumers, “this could still lead to less investment, fewer jobs, and lower wages for our employees. The carry-on effect of less investment and a smaller workforce could delay breakthrough technologies,” GM said.

Canada’s Freeland called the idea of auto tariffs “absolutely absurd.” U.S. officials have linked the tariffs to slow progress in talks to modernize the North American Free Trade Agreement, which Trump says is a disaster and must be changed.
