![]() ![]() The cloud, at least in some part, was lifted early. “They clicked right away.”Įarly in camp, Cora made it clear that he was open to any and all conversations about the Houston scandal, though those tended to come organically instead of in a more stuffy setting like his office. Help us out ,’” Cora told Gonzalez and Hernández, who both have World Series rings. “‘You two, I know you guys are new or whatever and obviously coming from other organizations, but don’t hesitate because you guys have been on winning teams and you know what it takes. During a conversation early in camp in the outfield of one of the back fields at the club’s Fenway South complex, Cora laid out his vision for both veterans. He played a key role in bringing in two players with whom he had close relationships - utility men Marwin Gonzalez and Kiké Hernández - envisioning leadership roles for both. Though the Red Sox roster had undergone significant changes since Cora departed in January 2020, he returned to the club with a familiar core of players in Xander Bogaerts, Rafael Devers, Eduardo Rodriguez, Christian Vázquez, Nathan Eovaldi and Matt Barnes. ![]() As soon as I got the job, I don’t want to say it was business as usual because there’s still some stuff that’s going to come up. Then I had to go through this bloodbath with these guys (the Red Sox). There were three teams, and two of them (the Tigers and White Sox), they already had their managers. “People might say, ‘Oh, it was only 60 games.’ But it was a (expletive) storm,” Cora said in a conversation before a recent game. To Cora, the fact his suspension only lasted 60 games - and not 162 as originally intended - didn’t make things any easier as he watched from afar. Then came a global pandemic that upended the world and caused the craziest season in baseball history. He had lost his job, been suspended for a year and labeled as a pariah in the game he has loved since childhood. When he got there, though, he looked back at what the previous 13 months had brought. Red Sox manager Alex Cora has turned the page after being fired by Boston and suspended for a year by Major League Baseball for his role in the Astros cheating scandal.

In fact they are quite inferior for many purposes such as making punches or chisels or other things that should be made out of higher quality steel. They ARE NOT the perfect stock material for all projects. Now I don’t want to oversell the value of railroad spikes. Things people make out of railroad spikes: Many metal working artists incorporate railroad spikes into their work as the symbolism of the railroad spike is very powerful…and it looks cool! On a less practical and more artistic note, railroad spikes are a symbol of industry and technological growth. In addition, I find that railroad tracks can make great practice stock for practicing various twists. Practice their skills cheaply without being excessively burdensome as they don’t need to waste lots of time on stock removal or cutting stock down to size. This allows newbie smiths to A railroad track Image Source Used/old railroad spikes can be bought very cheaply, and are often the perfect size for knives and small tools. Railroad spikes are often used as stock material by beginning blacksmiths. There are other benefits to using railroad spikes… Stealing them is equivalent to walking into someones workshop and helping yourself to their stuff, it’s not cool and could get you into a lot of trouble.īut it’s not all price vs quality of the material. Railroads own the land surrounding the tracks, so if you see spikes that are “discarded” on the side of the tracks, these ARE NOT FREEBIES. Just be careful, there are a lot of laws concerning railroad equipment. If you plan on salvaging or scrapping them, you will basically get a small fraction of the above values. If you are a business and a bulk producer forget it, you can buy higher quality steel at lower prices by buying in bulk.īut this all assumes you are a buyer of rr spikes. A Fork in the rr tracks near a small town Image Source So basically bulk orders of railroad spikes can be a money saver for at home hobbyists. However buying bulk orders of mild steel rods and bars is waaaay cheaper on a per lb basis. So if you are an absolute value hound, buying bulk orders of railroad spikes CAN BE marginally cheaper than small orders of steel stock – as small orders generally cost significantly more on a per lb. ![]() In my experience, a 6.5” spike will weight about. How much is that per pound of steel? Again it depends on what exactly you buy. ![]() Buying in bulk will get you a lower per unit price and will generally save you money on shipping. If you buy them online, used railroad spikes cost ROUGHLY (it will fluctuate) $.80/spike to $1.30/spike – this doesn’t include shipping. (note:these figures were done in 2019, and may not stay up to date through time due to inflationary pressures.) Therefore I did some quick napkin math for you down below: However, it may be difficult to compare the pricing of these spikes with other sources of steel stock.

He is dressed smartly in tie and suit, which conceal the crude indigo ink concentration camp tattoo on his left arm. I meet the debut author at the Montefiore residential aged care facility in Randwick, where he has lived for the past year, moving in when his wife of 74 years, Flore, needed care. Through all my years I have learnt this: life can be beautiful if you make it beautiful … Happiness is something we can choose. But now I consider myself the happiest man on Earth. ![]() “I have seen the very worst in mankind, the horrors of the death camps, the Nazi efforts to exterminate my life, and the lives of all my people. “I have lived for a century and I know what it is to stare evil in the face,” it begins. The Happiest Man on Earth, published this week, retells his powerful life story from stateless refugee to celebrated centenarian. Jaku not only survived the horrors of the Holocaust, but he has lived to become a husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather as well as a successful Sydneysider, running everything from a service station to a real estate agency. He vowed to rest, and if he survived he would live every day to the fullest and dedicate the rest of his life to putting right the hurt that Adolf Hitler had inflicted on the world. Then, a Jewish doctor, who helped dislodge a bullet from his leg after one escape attempt, helped the analytical young engineer see life as a mathematical equation: “One hour of rest equals two days of survival.” But his friend Kurt Hirschfeld, a fellow young German Jew, convinced him to keep on living. At times he thought of joining them to perish, like his parents, who had been murdered in the Auschwitz gas chambers. He’d regularly be woken by the suicidal screams of fellow Jews who had “gone to the wire” – killing themselves by running into the electrified barbed-wire fence on the perimeter of the death camp rather than suffer further at the hands of the Nazis. “If I could survive one more day, an hour, a minute, then the pain would end and tomorrow would come,” he would tell himself. At times, in his early 20s and interned in Auschwitz, sleeping on hard wooden planks, 10 naked men to a row, with nothing but each other for warmth, he didn’t expect to make it through the frozen night.Įddie Jaku, 100-year-old author and Auschwitz survivor, in Randwick.

Because of its strong association with health, clean eating was viewed favorably according to another survey of college students even though it produced emotional distress (experiencing negative emotions if not able to follow the diet) and functional impairment (having a rigid eating schedule, ignoring natural hunger cues to eat more or less than is scheduled, interference with school work). In a survey of teenagers and young adults, though 71% defined clean eating as a healthy positive approach, a small percentage felt it was unhealthy due to its restrictive nature. 64% surveyed said they try to choose foods made with clean ingredients, defined as “not artificial or synthetic,” “organic,” “fresh,” or “natural.”Ĭlean eating can take on a different meaning when it introduces unrealistic expectations.Almost half of those surveyed considered themselves to be clean eaters, with “eating foods that aren’t highly processed,” “eating fresh produce,” “eating organic foods,” and “eating foods with a simple ingredients list” as the most cited definitions.It found that “clean eaters” eat foods that are not highly processed, such as fresh or organic fruits and vegetables, and food products with a short, simple ingredients list. Ī survey by the International Food Information Council (IFIC) helps to further define consumer beliefs about clean eating. A survey of more than 1,200 participants ages 14-24 years found that 55% were familiar with the term clean eating from social media, other online sources, or their peers. The concept is popular among younger consumers active with social media, which is the prime platform for celebrities, bloggers, and other high-profile personalities who chronicle their clean eating meals and recipes. In summary, clean eating seemingly promotes health and wellness. It may also be associated with terms like plant-based, grass-fed, sugar-free, or gluten-free. A clean diet may include whole fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains, and healthy fats while limiting highly processed snacks and other packaged foods with added sugar and salt. Generally, clean eating is assumed to refer to foods that are as close to their natural state as possible, maybe organic, and most likely with minimal use of any chemical additives and preservatives. The terms clean eating and clean diets are not federally regulated in the U.S., so interpretation by consumers and the marketing of “clean” products by the food industry can vary widely. What it means will depend on who you ask. ![]() ![]() Once just a buzzword, “clean eating” is now a popular eating style. ![]() Press and hold again to reconnect the device when Bluetooth is not paired.
